I'm pretty sure an upside down pineapple symbol has a meaning similar to that.

Back in the day, hanging a pineapple out front was something like, "Hey, I just got back from a voyage abroad, come hangout and see what I brought back with me and listen to my tales."

Then slowly turned into just a party. But pineapples were super rare, so people would rent one.
