The Luau - Beverly Hills, CA - Vintage Tiki Bar - Unisex Sweatshirt
PRINTED IN & SHIPPED FROM USA
Our high quality unisex sweatshirts consist of a premium 8.5oz cotton/polyester blend with a classic crew neck and flattering fit.
The Luau opened its bamboo doors on Rodeo Drive in 1953, transforming Beverly Hills into an unexpected slice of Polynesian paradise. This legendary tiki bar became the ultimate Hollywood hangout through the 1960s, where celebrities and socialites sipped mai tais beneath carved tikis and thatched roofs just steps from the world's most exclusive boutiques. Located at the heart of Beverly Hills' golden age glamour, The Luau perfectly captured the postwar American fascination with exotic escapism, offering an authentic South Pacific experience complete with flaming cocktails and traditional island décor. The bar's unique juxtaposition of tropical fantasy against the backdrop of luxury shopping made it a true cultural landmark of mid-century Los Angeles nightlife. Part of our Vintage Tiki collection, celebrating the defunct golden era bars of yesteryear.
The Details:

RODEO, BEVERLY HILLS" alongside a hand-drawn tiki character illustration featuring exaggerated carved wooden facial features (large eyes, grimacing expression) rendered in rough, sketchy linework.
