Trader Vic's Lounge consists of two main sections...Indoors Bar and Outdoors Patio. Indoors is where you find almost all of the Tiki/Poly theme. One large room with an elongated U shaped bar at its center, surrounded on two walls with booths, and another area containing freestanding tables and chairs. Various tikis and other artifacts decorate this indoor space. This room opens out to a poolside patio area that contains tables and chairs, space heaters, and some landscaping. At night a video of various surf scenes is projected on one wall above the pool area. Trader Vic's Lounge offers the standard Trader Vic's cocktail menu, along with a limited Pupu menu. The indoor section has several flat screen televisions that feature either sports, news, and/or atmosphere surfing/beach videos. Music varies from CD's playing as background music (various styles)...to live DJ's on certain nights.
