Doesn't count as a "location," but here's a Don the Beachcomber menu for Continental Airlines. Interesting in that the cocktails listed don't include Don mainstays like the Zombie or Navy Grog, but the Proud Bird (for which I've never seen a recipe), Chi Chi and Mai Tai.

I was watching an old Matson promo film on YouTube today and one of the places they covered was Don the Beachcomber's. The film is titled "Hawaiian Hospitality" and the DtB portion begins at approx 22:30 Cool to see Don himself presiding over a Luau feast with a Hawaiian elder giving a blessing, etc. |

Found a different Travelogue on YouTube with Don in it. He's stealing some food from his guests and also teaching them how to use chopsticks.. pretty hilarious. UNITED AIRLINES 1960s TRAVELOGUE FILM "HOLIDAY IN HAWAII"

I just published an article about the history of the four Don the Beachcomber locations in Denver in my zine containing a bunch of articles and photos I found in the Denver Library archives (check it out here: https://tikicentral.com/viewpost.php?success=Post+Updated&post_id=813063). I found a few extra things that I didn't have room to fit in my zine. A review from the The Rocky Mountain Journal from 9/27/78
A menu from the Cosmopolitan Hotel location (1978-1984)
Various phone directory listings 1978-1987
Contact sheets from a photo shoot for a 1970 Continental Airlines annual report showing the Don the Beachcomber inflight food and beverage service.
