A few new ones courtesy of today's paper show.
Had not seen this Trader Vic's Menehune one before.
The writing on this one indicates it may have been from the Hula Shack.
This one folds out
to look like this!
This one was used at many locations.

Great thread DC - napkins are one of those things I love to collect, but the wife just doesn't understand. That and my growing collection of tiki sugar cubes lol.
Here's a shot of an early Hinky Dink's napkin hanging in the Palo Alto TV... might be the last time visiting that place...
...they even had a letter from the original artist who did the rendering on the napkin:

I would like to submit a few more napkins to this thread. I'm digging for some more.
Anything from the Leilani is good
I used to go here with my grandparents all thru my childhood.
Anyone been here before?

Here's another napkin. At first glance it looks like a neo-tiki bar, the Kahuna Lounge. It's definitely vintage. I was going to post it in locating Tiki, but I don't have any info on this place. I did a search and honestly couldn't find a thing. Cool Witco Biku graphic.I Also put in a close up (Dusty Cajun-style)of the Artists signature.

Thanks for shedding some light on that napkin DC. I've got the matchbook from that location. I must be getting a little rusty. I finally had some free time to scan a few more. Forgive me if I post any doubles from this thread.
All 4 locations for Canlis

So many of these would look great on t-shirts.
