Went here several times on vacations before my Tiki bar enlightenment in 2016 without ever thinking of it as a Tiki bar. I would consider it a dive bar with Live Music. There is a large oil painting of a Polynesian village and some nautical decor.

I had a tropical punch and it was decent for a free pour rum and fruit juice concoction.

Over the past 10+ years I've been there when it was a huge party and everyone was doing shots and I've been there when it has been pretty quiet. Not knowing what you'll get is part of the fun.

The Trade Winds Tropical Lounge has been in its current location since 1964; it had been located at 1 Aviles Street from 1945 until it was moved to unearth the ruins of an early hospital on the site.

The bar houses some lovely paintings and murals of wahines, and has a non-functional Witco fountain. No tropical drinks are offered; they have hard liquor, but this is more of a beer bar.
