Trees Lounge - that's one, two, tree
A cool new restaurant and lounge has recently opened in Kapa`a, just next to the Islander on the Beach, behind Coconut Marketplace.
Tree's Lounge - that's one, two, tree, which is the Pidgin' word for three, is a funky and comfortable atmosphere with great food and features live music nightly. I sat in on drums last Thursday night with Kundala, world beat jazz; a guy from New York ( who played the
Chapman Stick,) sat in and blew all our minds. What an unusual and cool instrument.
The food at Trees is great and as you might expect, you can choose from
tree (3) different cuisines. We recommend the jerk chicken with breadfruit, fresh fish skewers and the sweet potato fries and of course, the beignets. Those New Orleans style donuts' are absolutely delicious and sweet.
Every time I've stopped by Trees Lounge it's been pretty full of people and I think that Kaua`i residents are hungry for a spot to listen to good music, drink and eat. While Trees is on the south side of Kapa`a, the Polynesia Cafe is on the north side. The Cafe is about to reopen as Polynesia Nites, and will be entering the market for live music, drink and food as well. The Polynesia guys must have been studying the great success of Trees Lounge. Looks like we might actually have a night scene on the East Side of Kauai. As long as I take a nap, I can go out in the evenings to play and enjoy these new venues.
