Nui Nui - at McMenamins Anderson School
Bothell, Washington, United States
Nui Nui and the North Shore Lagoon are part of McMenamins Anderson School complex, and opened on October 15, 2015. The Anderson School is no longer a school. It opened in 1931 as Bothell Junior High School, and now lives on as a collection of attractions: a hotel, a brewery, a movie theater, restaurants, bars, the North Shore Lagoon (a swimming pool), and the Nui Nui tiki bar.
The Nui Nui tiki bar is decorated in traditional style, with lots of bamboo, distressed wood and driftwood, and pufferfish, bamboo and tapa cloth lamps. The soundtrack includes Exotica classics. The tiki bar overlooks the swimming pool. There is an extensive spirits list, including over 80 rums. The tropical cocktails are made with the classic recipes, including a Mai Tai, Zombie and Suffering Bastard.
If you'd like to swim in the pool, it is open to non-hotel guests for 2-hour open swims during the day; at the very beginning and end of the day swimming in the pool is for hotel guests only.
*Kapu Hut in Eugene, Oregon is also a McMenamins property.

A cool tiki spot that's not what you'd expect. Was a fun visit!

My band played at this McMenamins location. The drinks were great, and, like most of the old spaces that McMenamins breathes new life into, this one was beautiful and well curated. Can't wait to go back.

They have renamed the bar to Nui Nui. Oddly they don’t have the Nui Nui on the menu (which they have simplified and removed a few drinks).
