Summary

The Hawaiian was the place to go on old 340 for not only Brunswick people, but anyone from the local area travelling home from the Charlestown races or just wanting a fun night out.

Food, music & dancing was always on tap every Saturday night. Woody Free's Orchestra was a staple.

(From the 1971 BHS Railroader Yearbook)

Sissy Janet Moore Hockman: We owned it for a few years in the 70's! Wonderful memories!

Joe Shewbridge: I spent a lot of time at the Hawaiian; playing music for dances, enjoying Woody Free's Trio, and enjoying the food.

Ronnie Pearl: Rt. 180 was a busy road back in the day you had great places to eat from Jefferson on into Knoxville,at night you had dances, Parties,you could bet on your favorite horse and never go to the Track The Hawaiian was the place to be at night on weekends dancing to Woody Free Trio meeting all the Locals just having a blast, Yepper we usually stopped in see Buck Compher drink few drinks maybe eat some pizza then go across Street to Party Where did all the good times go There was more to do back then then now in an around Brunswick, Memories that's something I pray I never lose when you can set back and remember and tell your Grandchildren and someday Great grandchildren about the way things were the simple life of growing up in Brunswick.

Bob Perilla: Great hemispherical resonant wooden bandstand there at the Hawaiian! One of Patsy Cline's regular venues. I used to play bluegrass there with my group "Jackstraw" back in the nineties
