This is a surprisingly popular 60's themed bar in Des Moines - been there several times. That is real green shag carpeting...no idea how they keep it clean.
In the mid- to late-'60s, it was common for my friends' parents to have big wooden forks and spoons on the wall of the dining room. I think they were teak or mahogany. I thought they were very exotic.
The basements of that era often had a "rumpus room" complete with "funny" wooden signs on the wall:
"Plan Ahead", with the first half generously spaced, and the later letters squished together;
"In Case Of Fire, Lift Flap", and underneath "Not now, dummy - I said in case of fire!";
"Pistol Club - drink to midnight, piss 'til dawn" (in the shape of an old revolver, of course);
"Who's In The Doghouse?", which included two wooden adult dogs and a number of puppies. Each dog had a space for a family member's name, and an eyelet to allow it to be hung up in the doghouse.
etc. etc.
Many of my friends' parents also had a homemade bar in the basement, typically covered with quilted Naugahyde.

Farah Fawcett, Cheryl Ladd, and Susan Somers to.
I actually had that one, from Road and Track IIRC.
