Well, I finally went into this place. I was able to talk to the owner. Not as much info as I was hoping for, but better than nothing. He said he thinks it was built in the 20s (from the look of the outside, it had an art deco look, so it sounds fitting. It was originally a Recreation Center, with a 5 lane bowling ally. His parents bought it in the 50s and turned it into a polynesian bar. He said he never saw the place until he came back in the 80s, thats when he inherited it. And from the looks of it, the only thing that has changed since the 80s is the addition of beer advertisements. Even most of those look kind of old. Earlier it was described that this place had "patina". That is an understatement! I seriously doubt this place has been cleaned in last few decades.

He has no photos or memorabilia from the place. Well actually there is one photo of the outside, but it is from before it became polynesian.

This is an empty fish tank with fake fish.

When you first walk in, there are these neon circle lights on the ceiling. These are from when it was a bowling alley.

Here's an old photo of it. It was hard to get a good pic. It was dark in the place, it was under glass and the original photo was blurry.
