Description:
The Trader Vic's located in Portland's Hotel Benson was the 7th restaurant in the TV chain. It opened as one of Vic's Outrigger restaurants in 1959 and closed in 1996.

Here is a postcard of the interior showing one of the more unique looking Trader Vics. Bigbro indicated that those are Barney West masks.

Here is a card showing the exterior of the Hotel Benson with the Trader Vics sign and a peak at the entrance.

A close-up.

A rendering of the entrance from and old TV scarf.

This location had a distinctive logo with the tiki and the entrance in a green color for the matchbook.

And the menu
