At this point Bob comes over to us and lets us know... that since they have a client looking at bamboo that they're going to keep the place open; so we can look around a little more.

We thanked him for doing so, and Bob asked us where we were from. When we told him San Francisco he started to reminisce. He told us he had outfitted a lot of the old bars and restaurants in SF over the years, including the Tonga room.

Here's a shot of some of the more nautical decor Oceanic Arts has. Before the Tonga room was full-on tiki it was known as the U.S.S. Tonga and was decorated like a ship. While I didn't ask Bob about it, I'm guessing they outfitted the Tonga room with both it's ship decor and its tiki decor.
