After reading through it, I thought of another possible candidate for the answer - the Kalua Room in Seattle. We know from Tikicoma's research that it opened in 1953 and used a Tiki for a logo from the outset. An early drink menu I have shows this Tiki Tiki mug. Which was obviously a local production made for the Kalua Room The drink prices on the menu are also in line with the early Tiki Bob's drink prices seen on this menu. If not the first, this could have been one of the earliest. DC
