Tiki Wanderlust

No Reservation needed, but encouraged // A group of us sat at the bar, and were immediately greeted by the bartender giving us the history of Trader Vic and the bar and all the artifacts. He was so passionate about the place, and it made my friend’s (who have never been to anything tiki before) really feel welcome to the world. I, of course, got a mai tai, but between the 4 of us, there were a lot of drinks going around, and they were all SO GOOD. The bartenders showed off all of the glassware and let people choose what mugs they wanted their drinks in, and everyone was having a great time.

This place overlooks the water and is full of history that can’t be duplicated. It’s a well-lit restaurant, and seeing how packed it was on a Thursday, the food must be very good. My only qualm is that they have tvs playing whatever game is going on; it’s a personal thing for me… After we cashed out, we started walking around to see the other rooms, and one of the bartenders stopped what he was doing to give us a tour and talk about some specifics of the decor and artifacts. This is a definite MUST GO location.
