Tiburon Tommie's was owned by Tommie Cox. Like Trader Vic's and Hinky Dinks, it started out life in 1955 as a bar called the Oar House and then became Pier 41. In 1958 Tommie Fox joined forces with Johnnie Won who had worked for eight years at Skipper Kents. They expanded the bar to a restaurant, including the famous second floor Maori Sky Room, and it became Tiburon Tommie's Pier 41. Christmas and New Years ads from 1959. Here is a photo of Tommie and Johnnie from Critiki. The owners were obviously enchanted with the Maori culture, naming the second floor banquet facility the Maori Sky Room. Some articles with Tommie and Johnnie and visiting Maori women. The name changed to Tiburon Tommie's Mai Tai in October of 1963. Tommie Cox was still around in the late 1970s. DC
