Lanai Liquors, which was affiliated with a historic Tiki bar in San Mateo, has a remaining neon sign that’s now for sale on Craigslist.
A rare piece of Bay Area history is up for sale on Craigslist, and for $8,500, you can be its proud new owner. A neon sign from Lanai Liquors — a liquor store that once sat next to Lanai, a fabled Tiki bar and restaurant in San Mateo from the atomic era — has been unearthed from storage. The double-sided, 10-foot-5-inch-by-10-foot-5-inch relic’s neon tubes are mostly intact, the post reads, and it offers a unique window into Bay Area history.
The sign’s current owner, Patrick Kelley, who was born and raised in San Mateo, said he took his high school prom date to the restaurant back when it was in full swing. At the time, he’d also often stop by for a soda and visit his friend who worked there as a busboy.
