TRADER VIC'S TOKYO BOATHOUSE BAR

I was surprised to see that tiki bars aren't really a thing in Japan, seems like it would be very popular there since they love a good theme. This one is a bit out of the way but it was still really cool. Came here for dinner with my husband and while I wouldn't say the food was anything crazy, it w...as still pretty good! The drinks are really the highlight here. Our service was absolutely outstanding, incredible!

We love Trader Vic’s and knew we had to visit this one while visiting Tokyo. It was a quick taxi ride from Shinjuko to the Hotel Otani. We enjoyed walking around the restaurant and checking out all the tikis and decorations. We sat at the bar and had the yummy Mai Tais. The bar staff was very friend...ly as well as the manager. We did some damage at the store, three tiki mugs. I think this location is 51 years old. They open at 4:00 and have a happy hour until 7:00, which is drink and food specials. We had just finished a food tour in Shinjuko, so needless to say we did not eat a thing.

We are staying at the New Otani hotel and go out every evening - we decided one evening to stay in the hotel and had dinner in Vic’s restaurant. A very casual place, very nicely decorated ( especially for Halloween ), we sat by the bar and enjoyed the last minutes of the happy hour ( 1400 yen per dr...ink ). Although the restaurant offers expensive and high end dinner, we were more than satisfied with the burger which was delicious and reasonably priced for a restaurant in an expensive hotel.

We were staying at the New Otani and had been to other Trader Vic's so we had to try this one. We went at happy hour and enjoyed copious cocktails and bar snack which were all pretty tasty. We had a good couple of hours there before decamping to a pub down the road. All very pleasant.

The New Otani is a huge, classic, Modernism hotel and Trader Vic's is hidden deep within on the fourth floor. When you find it you will feel as if you've found the Kings Tut Tomb of Tiki bars - literally one of the most historic, artifact laden Tiki bars in the world. Now that you have arrived and f...eeling like you are on an Indiana Jones adventure, it's time to whet your whistle in true swashbuckler style. Start with a Navy Grog cocktail made with three top shelf rums using the original vintage recipe and ingredients. Don't miss wandering the gardens either before or after, or both.
