Ben nails the look by depicting (and exceeding) much of what was created in tiki establishments in the mid-20th century. I understand there were mid-century “tiki” venues which were sparsely decorated with poly pop stuff - Lobster House in my city is an example of that from photos I have seen, and from one person I spoke with who remembers it. There were carved tiki’s along with other nautical stuff, plus other bric-a-brac. [ Edited by: AceExplorer 2019-01-24 12:08 ]
