Oh yeah, that trader Vic’s! I have a coconut mug from when I went there in the 90s. But for some reason, I don’t really remember much about it. Still, it does get name checked in Warren Zevon‘s “werewolves of London.“

It was in a fancy hotel, so not the usual tiki bar clientele. Celebrities, rich people, but I guess some regular tourists, too. Nowhere near any regular pedestrian streets, so you couldn’t just drop in to it.
