Based on current research, it operated from as early as 1964 to as late as its closing in 1975. It had seemed that there was nothing particularly tiki about the place aside from the mug, but some articles found in the Baltimore Sun from 1972-74, as well as several ads run in the Baltimore Sun during the same era, clearly identify it as a "Polynesian Restaurant."
