Zombie Hut Pins and Buttons
Description: The Zombie Hut was a Hawaiian/Polynesian-themed restaurant, nightclub and Tiki bar located on Freeport Blvd. between Florin Road and Sutterville Road in Sacramento, California that originally opened in 1945. Inspired by the 1930s Tiki craze, the night spot's quirky name came from the 1945 comedy, Zombies on Broadway, that featured a fictitious nightclub in New York City called the Zombie Hut. The restaurant drew large crowds for years with Polynesian dancers, Hawaiian singers and musicians, and of course, countless exotic cocktails. The '80s saw things slowing down, and new owners tried saving it with limited hours, a change in theme, and a new menu, but in 1990, Zombie Hut closed its doors for good.
