Description:

I don't know if this restaurant was tiki or not, but the bamboo font and palm trees caught my eye, as did the phrase, "Exotic Atmosphere".

The inside reads:

I don't think this was a tiki location at all, but I would be very interested to try the Philippine cocktails on their menu.

Did some of these maybe work their way into later tiki cocktail menus under other names? Are any of these still being made today under these names? Very interesting...

Sadly, those cocktails are likely lost to time. Interesting that a few are named after songs, I think.
