Polinesio was a Trader Vic’s before Fidel made it a state run entity. Except for a lack of a large selection of mugs and ingredients for the traders signature drinks, not much has changed here in the past 50 plus years. I will be posting pix of the entrance and interior in locating tiki. I’ll do my best not to post any previously seen shots.
First drink was a Mai Tai. Osvaldo the bartender said “I have to invent how I present each drink” It was a very tasty 1944 M T served in a rum barrel mug.
Osvaldo, a very cool dude


Round two-more MT’s.

More Mt’s for me and Mr Tiki. Osvaldo made CeCe his “Special”. Don’t recall what it was called but he served it in a very heavy vintage Fogcutter and it was quite tasty. Looks like it’s time to take Mr. Tiki back to his room.

Due to the difficulty in obtaining certain ingredients Osvaldo is making orgeat on his stovetop at home-even making his own labels. Attractive packaging imo. That’s an orange in the pic-quite tasty in spite of it’s very green appearance.

This image is on the glass door to the stairs that lead to the hotel above Polineso. Approx, 2’x16"
