This sadly short-lived Trader Vic's location opened in late 2008, struggled, and finally closed in 2011. It was on the ground level of the Newberry Plaza Building.

The new location used much of the decor from the legendary old Chicago Trader Vic's, which was in the Palmer House Hilton until it lost its lease in 2005.

As of 2021 the Newberry Plaza location is now a Morton's Steakhouse.
