We built Bear's with our own sweat and love, from the floor to the rafters, and our dining room has stories to tell. Our colorful tables are crafted from the bow of an old Tahitian fishing boat. The virgin teak wood was painted with the ancestral colors of the village, and the money went back to the village to buy new fishing boats. Hanging in the dining room are several antique hand blown glass fishing bouys collected from around the world.

The Polynesian Princess hanging in the corner started her 'career' on a boat in Fiji.   Then she did a stint   hanging in the  bar on  ‘Two  and a  Half  Men’ and was given to Bear by Charlie Sheen. For  real. 

Look up...In  the rafters, a  surf board from Hawaii 

(with its own stories to tell).

The paddle? The best for last. This paddle served as the 'rudder' for a vessel used by early Pacific Islanders navigating open- ocean voyages.           

How cool  is that?
