Tikiman, good to hear. Do you know if they were serving Grog Grotto drinks during their training at Tambu? If yes, then the usual bar layout at Tambu must have been supplemented with a number of new spirits, at least temporarily.

I'm curious to see what, if anything, will be covering the patio area given the hot, humid, and rainy weather during the summer months in central Florida.

As Tiki Koro mentioned the bartenders at the Polynesian will be expected to do a rotation to all the bars at some point. I did not hear they were going any of the TS drinks at Tambu and I would not expect that they will. I don’t see them stocking all the specialty mugs and added ingredients at Tambu.
There are no plans at this point to cover the patio for either Trader Sam’s or Captain Cook’s outdoor seating.

They had a special event inside TSGG last night. The place is amazing inside but it will not appeal to those who are hardcore tiki bar aficionados . It will appeal more to those who enjoyed Adventurers Club. While they have some amazing tiki artifacts inside, it is a much more nautical theme. It is much different that the TS out west but I think that it is good that they did not just make a copy of the Enchanted Tiki Bar.
It will be open to the public on March 26.
