Humuhumu’s description:

Mar Vista Lanes was built in 1961, and was designed by famed Googie-riffic architects Armet & Davis. It once housed a bar called the Makai Cocktail Lounge, which had a spare, modernistic take on tiki. The lanes are still open, but the only tiki to be had here today is one large tiki standing sentinel outside.
