Well maybe. The area, Sven described as a industrial-ish area near downtown. Sounds like Kalihi, or perhaps outer downtown (nearer to where Restaurant Row is today) Kalihi was the home of the "South Pacific restaurant and cocktail lounge." The only evidence I have of it's existance is this picture by Eric Yanagi from a book I own. I cannot even be sure of the location as being in Kalihi. I have never been able to locate the sign myself, nor find more information about the venue. I did have some other thoughts on the mystery, but like Sven says, it was a "quick e-chat."
