I flew Continental between Honolulu and LAX and SFO in the 90's and they still had the "Polynesian Pubs" on the DC10's.

It was great, if you were in First Class, you could order any beverage for free and if you were in coach, you only had to pay for alcoholic beverages. They freely offered soft drinks, juices, coffee and tea in the pub for free to all passengers.

Free light snacks of peanuts and pretzels were offered.

The photo the OP posted does resemble the actual pub onboard. It was a very social and pleasant atmosphere as shown with a Bar and tables that were similiar to seating in a private club.

These flights were some of the best flying experiences that I have ever had, especially when I flew Coach. It was great to be able to move about the aircraft and socialize with other passengers in this separate "pub" cabin. BTW, the pub was located between First Class and Coach and I do not think anyone under 18 or 21 years old were allowed to enter.

I say bring back the "Polynesian Pubs", even if they now have a "cover" charge to enter!
