The Outrigger Piano Bar and Lounge

There is some discrepancy on precisely when the Outrigger Piano Bar & Lounge was in operation especially when the ads from the Eagle newspaper below April [LEFT] below and May [Right] below state, “Back by popular demand.” and “The Fish Grotto is proud to Re-Open”. Where in June 1985 [see below] it states, “Grand Opening.”

Years: 1985-1986?

Part of Fish Grotto Complex.

Ad in the Roaring 20s Coronation Program 1985 

Ads from the Eagle newspaper below June 1985 that shows the “Grand Opening” of the piano bar.

Side note. Local theaters who were doing musicals or musical numbers were encouraged to go down to the Outrigger and sing around the piano with Andy Harmon.
