The bar was first opened as The Aloha Cafe during Prohibition in 1931 by Fernando ‘Frank’ Blanco Cota. Cota regularly advertised the liquor and dancing of his place to San Diegans, beckoning them to experience the racy Honolulu Trio and their ‘latest hula thrills.’

An eclectic, tropical mish-mash may appear to clash with the clean lines of an Eichler or other mid-century modern home, but the two styles have more in common than you might think.
