Editorial Review for Trader Vic's Lounge – by Martha Burr
In Short
The kitschy old Polynesian home of the deadly scorpion bowl moves poolside at the Beverly Hilton hotel. Devoted fans still find tiki touches of Tahitian sculpture and vintage canoes, but the decor is now more tropical-modern, with leather banquettes and chunky wooden bar tables flowing onto the poolside patios umbrellas and cabanas. Late in the week, DJs spins under the stars as surf movies project on the walls. A mixed hotel and youthful crowd gather for legendary tropical drinks, pupu platters and sushi.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkChoose from over 80 tropical cocktails, many blended with choice rums and fresh fruit; some classics are the scorpion bowl for four, the potted parrot, and the classic mai tai.
What to OrderClassic pupu appetizers include crab Rangoon, crispy coco prawns and bbq spareribs. More contemporary sushi offerings are ceviche lobster roll, hamachi carpaccio and ahi poke salad.
Where to SitTake advantage of the lounge-y canopy beds and cabana chaises--especially helpful after that second scorpion bowl.

Went with a group of friends and we ordered several dishes and they were all very good. Favorites were the chicken skewers and potstickers. The drinks were good to. I felt the deserts were bland but who goes to Trader Vics for deserts. Very fun sitting out by the pool.
Pros: Tropical Atmosphere & Food
Cons: Deserts

This is a great spot to hang out with friends or coworkers for drinks in the evening. During the summer its nice to be by the pool side. I almost actually felt like I was in Hawaii. We ordered tons of appetizers, my favorite was the sushi, and tons of drinks too ;). Great Mojitos! The staff was super attentive and friendly. I will be back. And parking is only $5 bucks when validated.
Pros: sushi, staff, mojitos
