Thanks Tobunga, before I forget, Jo saw your Islander pendant and really loved it! I think that wall was across from the bar but I'll have to get clarification on that and get back to you.

Jo said she used to make Mai Tais in the bucket mugs all the time. Here is one in this picture, filed with straws I think.

She does have some mugs and bowl packed away but she couldn't find them before we had our meeting.

That menu was so cool it was in great condition. She told me she only had it by accident. She took it home one night so her family would know what to order when they came for a dinner and then it got moved aside and she never ended up bringing it back to the restaurant.

Those bar stools would be great to have in a home tiki bar. The bar reminds me of the the vintage bar in the upstairs lounge at Minnie's.

On my first expedition to the Islander I found a square table and thought nothing of it. Then after analyzing the photos I had discovered I thought that this might be an original table from the Islander. On my second expedition i took pictures to compare them. It was an original table. The Formica wood grain top was even the same as the walls of the old phone booth. At the time I made this comparison photo but never posted about this find.

The next time I went back I was going to salvage the table but it was gone. :(
