Here’s how MTL got drunk in the ’60s. Are these your grandparents?
The mid-20th-century craze for Hawaiian kitsch, based largely on the boozy memories of WWII vets, obviously made its way to Quebec, where love for ’50s Americana is true blue. But many of the theme establishments it produced have come and gone over the decades, and few remain—Châteauguay has the Tahiti restaurant and Trois Rivières has the Coconut Motel, but Jardin Tiki is 514’s last-standing emporium of tacky tropicalia, tiki cocktails and so-called Polynesian grub — read our review of it here.
Tiki used to be big in Montreal. There was a Sheraton hotel in what is now Cours Mont-Royal, and it was the site of the first Kon Tiki restaurant and bar, an American chain that spread to Sheratons across the U.S., all the way back to the source, in Honolulu. Open from noon to 2 a.m., the Kon Tiki was also the site of many boozy business lunches. For more about tiki culture and its history in Quebec, check out Mai Tai online. Here’s how MTL got drunk in the ’60s. Paradis Artificiel: novembre 2011. L’autre jour, j’ai essayé en vain d’aller voir la Magie des Lanternes au Jardin Botanique.
C’était le dernier samedi où c’était ouvert et il y avait tellement monde qui faisait la file qu’on a décidé de laisser tomber. Pour se consoler, on aurait dû aller au Jardin Tiki qui se trouve à deux pas et qui possède une extraordinaire collection de lampes exotiques de toutes les tailles et de tous les styles. La nuit tombée, toutes ses lanternes arrivent presque à transformer le Jardin Tiki en véritable endroit exotique. À nous faire oublier le plafond trop haut, les trop grandes fenêtres et le buffet chinois si ordinaire – dans tous les sens du mot. Lowl light photography-OR- how to take pix of a tiki bar.

The John. Just blocks from the masses of visiting music fans who flock to Frenchmen Street, The John remains a popular outpost for locals.
The perpetually dark, cold barroom plays off its name with chairs made from gold-painted toilets along the far wall. The bar’s regulars, however, are usually more interested in sidling up to the lengthy bar for strong drinks — sometimes served in Mason jars. The John’s infamous heavy pours often attract partiers to the large barroom, with its ample seating, decent jukebox and free Ping-Pong table in the back.

In June of 1962, a new restaurant opened capatalizing on the popularity of all things Polynesian.

Update: The drone owner has decided to take down his channel after receiving a lot of blow-back.
A YouTube channel called Your Flying Camera has added a drone flyover of the Avatar – World of Pandora expansion at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. In it you can clearly see that vertical construction has begun on one of the two main rides, as well as the giant cliff/wall that will hide the show buildings from the main guest portion of the land. If you look at the image above, the the large cement slab with what looks like a pool is expected to eventually house the indoor/outdoor boat attraction that will take you into the bio-luminescent night-time world of the planet Pandora. The build at the top of the image will house four theaters with motion platforms that will take you flying over the planet. If you look close in the upper right you can see some of the foundations that have been laid to hold the giant ‘floating rocks’ that the concept art made famous.

Tiki Hangover: Unearthing the False Idols of America’s South Seas Fantasy. Living the Tiki lifestyle once conjured the gentle sound of distant waves and lilting ukuleles, the rustic comforts of a poolside hammock beneath swaying palms. Those drawn to this Polynesian fantasy decorated their living rooms with bamboo furniture and learned the steps to native dances, while cultivating a taste for exotic foods and sweet rum cocktails. In the mid-20th century, such tropical trends offered a viable escape for those tired of the constraints of capitalism and Western religious morals: At its heart, American Tiki worship reflected a longing for life outside the stressful confines of urban America, a desire to connect with the majesty of nature, as well as the baser pleasures of food, drink, music, and sex.
