I hope the owners of the Hawaiian Room do appreciate what you did to make everyone aware of its existence. I do believe that some of the regulars from the bar, that probably have never seen more than 10 people there at one time, actually had a good time! I will say it now, before anyone tries to diss the bartender, (yeah, singular = bartender), that she made an honest effort to keep up with the drinks. She was probably just out of practice on keeping up with a large crowd, since like I said before, there were probably never more than 10 people at one time to handle, in addition to trying to learn a drink menu full of drinks she's never mixed before. It was a learning experience, and I'm sure that's the last of the single bartender for such an event. Kudos to the gentleman who voluntarily acted as barback for MOST OF THE NIGHT! Someone GIVE him a Hawaiian Room Mug! The Smokin' Menehunes were great to have done 2 sets for the evening's entertainment, along with the hula girls doing their dances! Good job on turning off and hiding all the neon beer signs and games previously exposed. One great touch was keeping "The Claw" game operating, even decorating it with bamboo trim (thanks to TraderPup), and filling it with Coco Joe's souvenirs, Hawaiian Room cozies, packages of stir sticks, plastic crabs, lobsters, etc., for all to have a try at winning a prize! Poor Shelley...wonder if she ever got a prize after all those trys at the game! The JohnnieVelour bowl display was incredible! Great work! Seamus's concrete tikis were a great addition, along with ChikiTiki's carved tikis. Octane's carved-from-baseball bat's tikis were awesome! The original Hawaiian Room sign outside of the building said "Cocktails ~ Steaks", and the original grill (still works but isn't part of The Room's current offerings) would have been interesting to see in it's heyday. Does anyone have or know of a picture of this place from days gone by? I hope to visit this hidden treasure again soon! Keep me posted on The Hawaiian Room's future, as per our previous conversation. Mahalo MTKahuna!
