Description:
Somewhat surprised that the Trader Vic's in Washington DC is not on Locating Tiki yet.

One of my favorite exterior scenes is on this postcard showing the entrance

The two big Barney West Tikis with the top knots.

Looks like a Barney West mask on the wall as well.

Here is the back of the card with a cool description of the entrance.

Another card I have showing the interior.

Look at all of the swag on the table.

Some nice lamps, never seen the Kava Bowl style before.

The description on the back of the card.

I also have the postcard from Barney West's Tiki Junction in Sausalito that shows one of the Washington DC Tikis.

The Tiki was also shown in the recent article that John Paul wrote about Barney West in Tiki Magazine.

Bigbro also posted this catalog cover showing Barney West sitting on top of the Tiki in the Barney West thread.

A matchbook.

And, the great photo of President Nixon and family leaving the restaurant that was posted by ikitnrev.

Would be nice to see some more photos of this place.
