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.

Opened in 1992.

Located in the Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort (formerly the Marriott Royal Gardens Riverside).

This Trader Vic's location operated from 2000 to 2006. It was located in the Gefinor Rotana Hotel.

Opened August 11th, 1955.

This Trader Vic's was located in the Beverly Hilton and until 2004 was owned by Merv Griffin -- the hallway between the hotel and the restaurant was lined with blown-up black & white photos of Griffin with various celebrities from the 70s and 80s. It was originally called The Traders. Its location at the edge of Beverly Hills attracted some of the vintage set of celebrities. For instance, Hugh Hefner visited Trader Vic's with a group of Playmates in a photo below.

The Beverly Hills Trader Vic's last day of business was on April 29, 2007. After 50-plus years of operation, this Los Angeles institution was closed, to make way for the development of a tower of condos or hotel rooms.

A few bits of the restaurant were moved to a bar near the pool area, which was called Trader Vic's Lounge, and served Trader Vic's drinks. However, Trader Vic's Lounge closed at the end of January 2017.

Many items from the Trader Vic's location went up for auction on July 12th, 2024 through Julien's Auctions at https://www.juliensauctions.com/en/auctions/tiki-paradise-546

Opened in 2000 and closed in 2006.

This location was in the Sheraton Royal Gardens Hotel.

Opened March 26th, 1957.

Located in the lower level of the Palmer House Hilton. Was originally called "The Traders." New ownership at the Palmer House ousted Trader Vic's in December 2005 after nearly 50 years in its location.

After a three-year hiatus, Trader Vic's reopened in a new Chicago location in late 2008.

This Trader Vic's location was originally opened in 1954 under the name "The Outrigger", located in Hotel Cosmopolitan at 18th and Broadway. The Hotel Cosmopolitan opened in 1926 and was demolished in 1984.

The Outrigger name changed to Trader Vic's in 1962.

This Trader Vic's closed in 1978 when the corporation decided they wanted a fresher location than the, by that time, 52-year-old hotel, and Trader Vic's opened a different location at the brand-new Denver Hilton three blocks away.

A Don the Beachcomber's moved into the vacated spot left by Trader Vic's at the Cosmopolitan.

The second Trader Vic's location at the Hilton lasted until 1985.

This Trader Vic's was located in the once-beautiful Statler Hotel. After the Hilton chain bought the Statler in the early 60's, this Trader Vic's was opened on the ground floor (sometime between 1963 and 1968). At this Trader Vic's, the bartenders were contained behind glass, much like the Chinese Ovens -- the waitstaff handled all the drink serving, and there was no customer interaction with the bartenders. The restaurant had a jacket-required dress code, and had jackets on-hand to be loaned out. There was a VIP area with peacock chairs for special clientele.

The hotel changed hands several times between 1969 and when it finally went bankrupt and closed in 1975. The contents of the Trader Vic's went for only $7,500 at auction in January of the following year. The massive Statler has sat vacant for 30 years, until the hotel was razed in 2005.

Located in the Crowne Plaza Dubai. Opened in 1994 and had a makeover and was re-launched in April 2017.

The design of the restaurant, which sat within the 3rd floor of the 5-star Crowne Plaza Hotel, made the most of the floor-to-ceiling, with contemporary fabrics, new luxurious seating, Polynesian décor, paintings, artefacts and carpet designed exclusively for Trader Vic’s.

Closed in 2024.

The Crowne Plaza is now known as the Millennium Plaza Downtown.

This Trader Vic's opened in the Breidenbacher Hof hotel in 1987. In 1999 the hotel closed, was eventually torn down and rebuilt, and when the hotel finally reopened in 2008 Trader Vic's was gone.

This Trader Vic's location supplanted the nearby original Oakland Trader Vic's, and has been the company's flagship restaurant since it opened in 1972. The Emeryville Trader Vic's is positioned near the end of a spit in San Francisco Bay, and has beautiful views of the nearby marina and city lights across the water.

The Emeryville Trader Vic's closed at the end of April 2010 for renovations, and reopened on September 28, 2010. The newly-refreshed Trader Vic's Emeryville has a stronger focus on tiki decor, and works to strike the balance between the sunny blue marina view and the moodiness of a traditional Tiki bar. Many of the carvings, lighting and other decorative elements have come from other, now-closed Trader Vic's restaurants from around the globe.

The restaurant is large, with several banquet rooms available for private parties. There is a large bar area near the entrance, and two dining rooms at the back of the restaurant.

This Trader Vic's location opened in 1999, and had closed by 2007. Its signature drink was a Singapore Sling variation, called the "Hakata Sling," named for an area of Fukuoka. Its garnish was one of two special Hakata doll toppers, a figurine associated with the region. After this location closed, the remaining doll toppers went to the Trader Vic's in Tokyo, where you may be able to order a Hakata Sling off-menu and perhaps get a Hakata doll topper as garnish.
