Club Waikiki - Chicago, IL - Vintage Tiki Bar - Women's T-Shirt Size:2XL A cartoon cheeseburger with lettuceClub Waikiki on Wilson Avenue brought the South Pacific to Chicago's Uptown neighborhood during the mid century tiki craze. Blending Cantonese cuisine with steaks, seafood, and exotic tropical drinks, it embodied the postwar American fascination with Polynesian escapism. Spots like this gave working families a taste of paradise without ever leaving the city. Part of our Vintage Tiki collection, celebrating the defunct golden era bars of yesteryear.
