Club Mallard came into existence in 1945, but this same building has been a bar since 1934, just after the end of the Prohibition. This very friendly bar is actually themed more like a duck-hunting lodge than Polynesia, but the outdoor patio area is tiki-themed, and some of the bartenders (Robin, in particular) can be trusted to make classic tropical drinks. The bar is pretty popular with East Bay folks, and the doormen can be quite strict about checking IDs -- be sure you have yours on hand. The current owner of the Mallard also owns Kona Club
