Trader Vic's - Atlanta
30 Dec 2017
Have been here a few times and I really like the description from the commenter below - "It's not a tiki bar, it's a tiki restaurant with a bar and it's beautiful". I'd that it's also a "hotel bar" so there are corporate bartenders more than knowledgable tikiphiles. There's also a TV at the bar, which is jarring after the amazing entrance, but apparently the hotel guests requested it. With that being said, definitely worth it for the history and decor. The Mai Tai's (shaken with limes so bitter) were not good compared to the Emeryville location. I liked the Navy Grog a lot more than the Mai Tai. Love the Chinese Ovens. A must visit, but you might have to get lucky to get amazing drinks that night.

Trader Vic's - Atlanta
Atlanta, Georgia, United States
This Trader Vic's opened in the basement level of the Hilton Hotel in downtown Atlanta in 1976. This is the only one of the Trader Vic's locations in the United States today that has not been updated in a way that removes some of the original charm. There have been ebbs and flows in the quality of the drink offerings over the last decade or so, but its value as a piece of Polynesian Pop history has helped it remain an important attraction.
