Don't get rid of this place, please.
Recently came here during my trip to London and it was one of the highlights. Beautifully decorated, decent food, and awesome drinks. I think it just needs a few fun events and perhaps a little program makeover to liven it up, but hearing that they might get rid of this place made me very sad. Save Trader Vic's in London!!!
Be the first to ReplyOld school beautiful and classy beyond.
We loved our visit to Trader Vic's London! The hospitality, food and drinks were top level. The atmosphere is like the long and sadly gone Trader Vic's Beverly Hills. This place is a jewel in the crown of London!

Went in at 9:40 & had to get my order in very quickly as the kitchen was closing in 5! They did a very good job. Manager made sure we got extra pancakes for the crispy duck wraps & took us to an elevator that would take us straight to the room. She was happy to have us order a bottle of wine to bring with us.

Be the first to ReplyTrader Vic's London is my favorite Vic's I've been to.
The mix of old school charm and fresh energy is exactly what is needed to keep the Vic's legacy alive. The staff was welcoming, able to pump out drinks with reasonable speed and a genuine friendliness to customers. The bartenders seemed to have pretty good grasp of tiki as well, which can't be said for every Vic's I've been to. It never felt stuffy in there, despite its history as a "classy joint". As much as I enjoyed the new wave tiki bars in London, I'm most glad I was able to find time to visit Trader Vics.

A guitarist playing lame 80s covers does NOT make this feel like anything Tiki. Where's the exotica and other Tiki music? This place feels like a crappy Hilton bar with funky wallpaper.
Be the first to ReplyReally wanted to go here as I'm a huge tiki fan and have
Really wanted to go here as I'm a huge tiki fan and have been to many tiki bars throughout the world. Was really excited to come here, tried to come for three days, but it was closed. On the last night of my trip to London, we arrived to the bar at 12:15am - online it said the bar was open until 1am. When we walked downstairs, there were a few groups sitting at the tables, and a group of men at the bar, including someone in a Hawaiian shirt who I assume was the manager. The bar had a screen down so I asked if the bar was still open. Someone in the group said yes and the manager said no. I asked if I could just buy a tiki mug but I was given the run around that the bar was closed, security needed to open the screen, etc. I asked the Hilton hotel manager and he wasn't helpful at all, and when I asked again at the bar if security could open the screen, a guy in the group stood up and said he was security and they couldn't sell me anything because the system was closed. I told him I wanted to give him cash, I was ready to give him money since I had been trying all week to come here but he could care less. It's really a shame that people like this are running a well known place that people travel to see because it really makes me never want to go to Trader Vic's again. I'll be happy to spend my money at local tiki bars that actually appreciate their customers.
Be the first to ReplyThis may seem a bit harsh, but it's 100% accurate.
I purchased this using a groupon for my family while we visited London. The Groupon is completely misleading, if not fraudulent. The Groupon we purchased told us that we could order up to one Mai Tai, one appetizer (up to a certain value), one main course (up to certain value) and one dessert (up to a certain value), this is completely misleading.When you arrive and tell them you have a Groupon, they give you a completely different menu which is also different than the menu that is on the web....and different from the standard menu. You can not order dishes off of the regular menu up to the price limits that are indicated on the Groupon.When I showed this to the manager (who was actually very nice), I was told "we don't tell Groupon what to put in the coupon." This is also not true....but why was I surprised....like Groupon writes them for restaurants on their own?To make things worse, the food that we ate was terrible. A good example is fried calamari which looks like tons of bread fried on the worst calamari I ever had. My daughter had a curried Shrimp. They told her that the shrimp was not one of the choices and they charged a $10 up charge - "although we remained under the limit stated on the groupon." To boot, the shrimp were small, tasteless and had a rubber like texture.You may actually like the food if you are also frozen in time from 1983 like this restaurant.A few more observations. The curry dishes come with approximately 10 things that you can add. The problem is that they are seemingly, unrelated to the curry dish that they are serving - like hot sauce on chocolate ice cream.As far as the Mai Tai....no liquor. The upside is that they give you plenty of ice. My wife commented after tasting her Mai Tai "I think I may have to stop drinking if somebody serves this to me again." Nobody in our party drank their cocktails. I never leave bad reviews on social media. I know this sounds like a harsh review....and it is....but it's 100% honest.
Be the first to ReplyBeing a fan of all things Tiki, it definitely felt like I
Being a fan of all things Tiki, it definitely felt like I was missing out by having never been to a Trader Vic's. Since the two closest locations to me are both at least a five hour flight away, I had figured maybe I wasn't going to see one anytime soon. When I was recently in London it dawned on me that there was a location there. Bingo! A Trader Vic's experience had been obtained.Maybe I should have got a Mai Tai since that's what they're famous for. Instead I got a Bahia, and it was pleasant and refreshing. Not the best tiki drink I've had but not the worst either. I also got the veggie spring rolls, which were alright. The decor was obviously up to standards, but honestly the whole restaurant felt very corporate. I'm not sure what else I should have expected, since they're a very well known chain with spots all over the world. It just lacked the soul that most other tiki bars seem to have. Also I had a lot of sticker shock when it came to the price, because the cheapest and weakest drinks are still £12/$15.50, so having more than one or two might break your bank.This was an okay experience. I'm still curious if the other locations bear any similarities to this one, so in the future when I get the chance I'll compare those as well. At the very least you'll get a tasty drink in a silly mug.
Be the first to ReplyI don't know why, but service is hit or miss.
Most times it was a really fun tiki bar with friendly servers and bartenders. Twice, however, the staff made it clear they didn't want to be working that evening and customers were a bother. Thus, I averaged it out to 3 stars.
Be the first to ReplyFood was blah, except the fried rice.
We had apps: ribs, prawns and calamari. Never been to a place where they didn't serve cocktail sauce with shrimp. Came with a wasabi mix.We also ordered water and we were offered "still Or flat", never tap. The water was 11.00 since we ordered 2.The waiter was very, very slow. One of the first times in a long while we didn't leave a gratuity. Definitely a 1st and last time . 15 mins to ask if we want drinks. After our meal, 30 mins from the time he took our plates until we were walking out.
Be the first to ReplyBooked a table for 7 people for a birthday party at the bar
Booked a table for 7 people for a birthday party at the bar area. Been told by the staff to be quiet three times. I've never been told to be quiet by staff in a restaurant never mind a bar! Worst service I've received not only from Trader Vic's but also from Hilton park lane. Would never consider going back and not recommend anyone.
Be the first to ReplyLocated on the bottom floor of the Hilton hotel on London's
Located on the bottom floor of the Hilton hotel on London's posh Park Lane, this historic tiki bar is one of the few original Trader Vic's locations remaining in the world, and the first to open outside of the USA in 1963. The interior is spacious, with an enormous dining room surrounding two different tiki bars. The decor is authentic but dated, incorporating various elements of high tiki and Hawaiiana. The attempt at an upscale establishment falls short, due to important aspects such as lighting. For some reason, all of the lamps on the ceiling were turned off, creating an awkwardly dim setting. Service was elusive, and unable to describe anything on the menu. The drinks were terrible. I got the Tiki Puka Puka (£15) which tasted like artificial fruit juice and a measured pour of low grade spiced rum. It was not strong by any means, and charging this price for what was essentially a watery slushy is unacceptable. My boyfriend got the 'Mai Tai Wave' (£16) which is a flight of three different Mai Tais from the menu-Guava, Mango, and Maui (pineapple). They were all drinkable, but contained no alcohol. We attempted to mix the cocktails to make them better somehow, but they were bad beyond repair. We could not bring ourselves to order another, but stayed a while to enjoy the ambiance. With such an incredible space, I hope that Trader Vic's London considers refreshing their decor, and significantly improving their libations.
