If The Flying Jib burned down then it was rebuilt almost exactly as it stood before the fire. I used to go to this place quite a bit. There was a great band on weekends that played hard pounding music of their own making. They would turn out the lights and turn on multiple strobe lights overhead. People would then unroll tubes of aluminum foil and stretch the foil over-head while dancing to catch the strobes and intensify the show. A lot of drugs, mescaline, LSD type stuff and booze. The women were hot and the room rocked with this sixties abandon, life in the moment, feel as good as you can, to hell with the future. It was quite a place. The Polynesian design of the building had very little to do with anything. I never went by there in the daytime so I don't know what the place was like for "normal" people.
