It is very odd to be next to the home of the world's most popular basketball franchise, where tens of thousands of fans descend several times a week just to see them play, and not try and capitalize on that market. The Yardhouse next door probably has a 100% greater revenue, which is unnecessary as Trader Vics is a much nicer experience. The result? After the game, the bar at Trader Vics was empty; There were people 5 deep at the bar next door. As much as I like Hula, it is the Lakers which draw the crowds.
