We loved the Hala Kahiki in Chicago because, in part, the music matched the mood perfectly -- they played nothing, absolutely nothing, but pure native Hawaiian music.

When I started going there around 1994, they seemed to have like an old crusty C-60 cassette of instrumental Hawaiian slide guitar music that just played on an endless loop. After a few visits, I had that "mix tape" memorized. I'd adore it if they popped that sucker back in the tape deck today.
