What comes to mind when you think of the US 50th State of Hawaii?

Is it the State Dance Hula?

Or the State Individual Sport Surfing 🏄‍♀️?

Or the State Musical Instrument Ukelele?

Or the State Flower Pua Aloalo or Hibiscus?

Perhaps it is the beautiful sunrise and sunsets in the beach 🌅, or tropical coconut trees 🌴, or sugar cane, or pineapple🍍, or shaved ice🍧!

Or the State Philosophy Aloha Spirit!

The face of the bar depicts a female hula dancer in a grass skirt, a man seated on the sand playing a ukelele, a pineapple, and coconut leaves.

The back of the bar is the Capitol Building in Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii, in the island of O'ahu.

The reverse shows a wahine making kapa.

Lauhala weaving and the making of kapa (pounded-bark cloth) for clothing and artworks are two ancient Hawaiian crafts. Traditionally lauhala served as floor mats, canoe sails, protective capes and more. Weaving the lau (leaves) of the hala (pandanus) tree is the easier part, while preparing the leaves, which have razor-sharp spines, is messy work. Today the most common lauhala items are hats, placemats and baskets.
