The Minneapolis Waikiki Room and the Tiki Bar T-Shirt Club

Wednesday, March 14, 2018

I ordered these coasters today from the Tiki Bar T-Shirt Club. I was drawn to them because of the inclusion of the old Waikiki Room that was a Minneapolis institution.

According the the website: 
"In the ’50s the Polynesian fad found a home in Hotel Nicollet's new Waikiki Room, complete with black velvet paintings of 'Polynesians', squat statues of grimacing gods, bamboo awnings and everything to remind Pacific war vets of places they’d rather forget. "
