Trying to find an old tiki bar location in the Long Beach, California area based on an old newspaper clipping. Figured I would post it here and see if any experts out there recognize anything.

Here is the clipping:

The image comes from Page W-5 of the July 19, 1959, Sunday edition of the Long Beach Independent Press Telegram. I fully acknowledge that the image is (a) ancient, (b) black and white, and (c) of terrible quality, but I figured it might be worth a shot. Apologies in advance if I'm wasting anyone's time.

Bonus points if you can figure out the make of the clamshell scorpion bowl they are drinking out of.

Aloha and thanks in advance.
