Trad'r Sam's - San Francisco

Honestly the best bar in the city. It's a magical experience and you have to go. Remember to bring cash!

Came here in the middle of the day while on vacation last fall because we love tiki bars. We spent a couple of hours with Angie and some regulars, everyone was very friendly and Angie made great recommendations and some tasty drinks.

Best chi chi in the city. Will travel far to have one. Really welcoming daytime bartender. This place came way before all the others probably the oldest and first Tiki bar. Always a great spot to bring someone or just by yourself.

Please please reopen! On behalf of all of San Francisco

I love this place every time. It has the complete series of classic Tiki drinks, and zero preview. It feels like a friendly local ' diving, but stranger in the best way. We came here by chance in the Super Bowl. I randomly selected the Black Magic from the menu. The bartender, in her beautiful husky voice, warned me about his sweetness, so I asked for a good old Navy Grog I make a great Navy Grog! she says and trader's choice for my bf. It was a big Navy Grog and her Mai Tai surprisingly not too sweet. I would recommend both! We hung in the Guam corner for more drinks including a stiff hot teddy and had some chili!! With kind permission from our bartender. Once the game ended, she hops into the jukebox with a few dollars and says I hate football! Seriously, she's cool and the drinks are funny.
