Trader Vic's

Old school tiki bar ! The decor hasn’t changed since the 70s, so it’s a really beautiful time capsule. The drinks are classic tiki... strong! The classic mai tai does not disappoint :)

Some say that Victor Jules Bergeron Jr., also known as Trader Vic, invented the Mai Tai . Still in dispute. A big garnish of mint is what you'll notice first, but the rum is what will stay with you. Read more

Came for the drinks, was surprised to find that the food is excellent! It's very expensive , but worth it for a special occasion . I just wish I lived closer so I could come here more often.

Even for a local, this is a fun place to visit. Authentic Tiki bar (with the decor, food, and drink), very friendly & welcoming. Ribs were sinfully good. We went on rainy day for a fun mood lift.

Awesome. One of my favorite restaurants . Layers of flavors and plenty to choose from. Most dishes are cooked over an open flame over a hot clay pot . Always consistently phenomenal

The Mai-Tai's are delicious, but dangerous. Don't limit yourself to the stuff you know, try something new, it's all good, and if you hate it, the staff will get you something else.

The kava bowl was pretty good (pictured). The bahia was delicious and full of good coconut flavor .

The half chicken dinner is so good! Smoked flavor and always juicy. And I have never had a bad tiki drink here!

Being a chain I was hesitant but pleasantly surprised- excellent quality food and service. I’ll return for sure.

Don’t mess with greatness. Theirs is the original Mai Tai , and it’s on CL’s list of100 Dishes to eat before you die. Read more

Rum giggle, crispy roll , scallops , Indonesian rack of lamb , bananas Foster

My parents brought me to Trader Vics in the Shamrock Hilton. No dinner salad ...cannot make an Old Fashion...hope the meal is good. The band is great!

It's the Regal Beagle of the south!! Great little bar downtown. Kept waiting for Jack Tripper to come striding in. http://www.threescompany.com/tcompany/www/lounge.html

T-Mobile had no cell service in the restaurant (it's in the basement of the Hilton)

The best kitsch-glam atmosphere ever. Good bands with a sense of humor.

Several distinctive cocktails , and fun tiki glassware .

Place is awesome. Don’t have the old mai tai glasses but still awesome

Excited to try #TraderVics with @peachtreeroadie tonight! First time here! Love the ambiance!!

Crave from the Grave: You can't go wrong with any of the entrees cooked in the large Chinese wood fired ovens. Personal favorite is the Pork Chop Hawaiian.

Drink a mai tai , then start with the calamari . Get the filet! If you see a werewolf w/perfect hair, buy him a pina colada . Bip!

Like lounging over at your little buddy's, Gillian's, hut. Good food and strong as hell drinks

If they tell you there's a 30+ min. wait for a table, check OpenTable. You can usually reserve a near-immediate seating.

Love this place. $6 Mai tai 's on Thursdays. Super strong. Just LOVE it.

Thursday Night Live music at 8:30 and $6 mai tais

possibly the strongest mai tai I've ever had! one and done. add a 151 floater you'll need a cab.

Thursday Mai Tai Nights are the one to hit, be sure the mind-bending Tongo Hiti is playing.

Thursday nights is Mai Tai Madness night where you can listen to live music from Tongo Hiti while drinking on $5 Mai Tais .

Live music !!! And MaiTai!!! on Thursday.

Mai Tais on Thursday nights deserve your attention. Best deal in the tourist district

The steak is amazing!

Get a group of friends and have a timed race...one group drinking a Scorpion Bowl and the other a Rum barrel ! The more silly long straws, the better.

The Dames Aflame will be performing here with Tongo Hiti every Thursday from now until May 2011!

Unique fun place.

CLOSED ON MONDAYS! Including Labor Day when DragonCon ends.

Best drinks and food in Atlanta, a little pricey , but it is my favorite spot.

Mai Tais are now $6 on Thursdays! Still a great deal.

They will set any drink on fire if you ask nicely.

Try the Mai Tai , they invented it. Also, catch Tongo Hiti play on most Thursday nights . They're an experience.

Mai tais , calamari , filet

This place is a treasure. One of the best bars in Atlanta, one of only a couple Trader Vic's left in the US. Most are overseas now.

Don't come hungry because you will be waiting a long time!

Mai Tai Thursday

Great band

Don't forget to get your parking validation!
