Big Bro,
Thanks for posting those old photos, nice PNG mask.
I stopped by the Royal Hawaiian for diner on may way down south Friday night.
The signature Lapu Lapu’s were very good and the food was also good. I tried the famous rib combo plate.
They still have the Royal Hawaiian mug so I picked one up.
While it is certainly only a shell of its former self, it was still a fun visit and there is still some nice Tiki stuff floating around.
Including a few of those cool album frames in the men’s room.

News flash, Spring Break, 1965. Royal Hawaiian Tiki stolen!
Also a 1970's era matchbook from the Royal Hawaiian advertising the BBQ Ribs and Fried Shrimp.

Very sad news from The Royal Hawaiian's Facebook page.
"It's with heavy hearts that we announce the closing of a Laguna Beach icon. After 65 years of business we served our last lapu lapu last night. We can't express how much gratitude we have for all of our guests, regulars and staff who have supported us."
I know it wasn't what it once was or close to what it once was but I still liked it and was happy it was still around.

I was digging around some older photos and ran across a couple from our visit to The Royal Hawaiian on a rainy night in February 2005. Sadly, I didn't take that many because I was naive enough at the time to think there would always be more time to take pictures on another visit.
