Butlin's Beachcomber Bar, UK 1960sIn the 1960s, the tiki craze arrived at Butlins holiday camps in England, Wales and Scotland. Beachcomber bars were set up in each British resort, complete with waitresses in hula skirts, fake volcanoes, rainfalls and rainbows and, of course, exotic cocktails. Theres marvelous film footage of an evening in one of the Butlins Beachcomber bars on YouTube featuring this menu and a hula competition. It certainly looks like a fun night was had by all.
