Selected answer:way out, so over

Explanation:
Martinis are so 2000, it´s like saying "Come one that was LAST year, it´s over". This use of way is very commom in informal speech.

too 2000

Explanation:
I believe it is saying that a martini lounge is ultra-modern. Something found only in this century.

way too outdated

Explanation:
No I disagree with the answer above. Using the expression "way too" is an American expression for something disliked (at least in the this context).
So it actually means; this is 2003 and this martini lounge is far too uncool for us because we are so hip and modern.
IMHO (as a native english speaker of advancing years)
