I think I've heard enough of the cheesy comments about Kelbo's. When I was still in high school we use to go to Kelbo's on Pico. I would always treat all my friends to this exciting Hawaiiana paradise. We would ooh and aah at all the cool items incased in resin. My father collected nautical items for our dive shop, but this place put it to shame. It had style and inventiveness. My best memory of the place was the delicious ribs and their fabulous flaming fun bowl. I think I remember going back one day and being heartbroken at the strip bar that took it over. DAKOTA

I worked across the street at CBS Television City in the '50s. This was our regular hang out. Red Skelton use to throw parties for his crew there. The ribs and drinks were great. There is no place like it today.
