The Beachcomber, Victoria, Canada (restaurant) - Locating Tiki

The neon A-frame supported by those cool Tikis, and that Tiki diorama window - wonderful! As for those interiors: One has to be reminded that nobody knew how to light and photograph Tiki temple interiors in the dim, atmospheric lighting that they were designed with. Inside, the customers never saw the rooms lit up into every corner like these postcard photos show them. Really kinda destroys the mystery, doesn't it. Looks like they had "Luau" table lamps.
