History
Bahooka was founded in 1967 in West Covina, California and expanded to a second location at 4501 Rosemead Boulevard in 1976 after losing its lease. This allowed the Rosemead location to expand its dining area, adding a new room as well as more custom wooden/fiberglass aquariums, which then exceeded over 100 aquariums, many over 100 gallons in capacity. Tiki mug producers Tiki Farm created a 40th Anniversary mug for the bar. The Rosemead Bahooka closed in March 2013.
