Not my favorite tiki bar
I love tiki bars. This one was unimpressive though. It was over crowded and smelled a bit like a toilet. The bartender was very sweet though. - onlineAddy , posted 07/31/05

Those tricky bowl drinks.
Those lucky enough to nab a table on a crowded weekend day will likely have Trad'r Sam's famous bowl drinks, where 6 red straws are dipped in with umbrellas & orange slices. First time I went there, my friends introduced me to it. After 2 bowls mainly consumed by me, I was drunk off my ass... and that was before 12am.. I think. I recall little of that night, except that I yacked my brains out.

Often too crowded and the place seems a bit too sticky and dirty, but I am a fan of casual places where people are friendly. The bartender always warns patrons of the bowl drinks... it's no joke, people! - Chris , posted 06/26/05

you won't remember what happened... just that it did
if you want to get sideways-drunk and enjoy tropical drinks this is the place.... drinks are good and strong. crowd is loud but fun. at some point you may stop remembering things.... the next day you'll have the worst headache, but you think it was worth it :) - Unsubscribed , posted 04/15/05

Sugary cocktails get you drunk
I went to Trader Sam's with a huge slew of people, and had a great time. The sugary drinks are tasty and fun, but look around when you enter the bar. People there are going to be a little drunky-pu, and soon you will be too!

Not a place for a date, or some serious conversation, but an all around great place to go be loud and rowdy; you'll have a great time! - Jenni , posted 02/16/05

Strong drinks
Be careful.. I'm normally a hardy drinker but I was wasted on one drink! Luckily, home wasn't too far. The crowd is mostly locals. - Unsubscribed , posted 01/24/05

Cheap liquor clouded by sweet mixes...
So it's a tiki bar. It was a great place long long long time ago. It was a pain to get to (unless you lived out in the Richmond) so not many people other than locals would go there (be careful of DUIs). Then it became popular. Now it's get's a bad Frat Boy vibe and it becomes standing room only because of the crowds. Time to find another fruit drink watering hole. - Pete , posted 01/12/05

can get crowded
Trader Sam's can get crowded, but it seems to always have a diverse and interesting mix of local drunks, drunk sorority girls-- and hence, drunk frat boys-- drunk yuppies, etc. Just about everybody is drunk at some point or another. The scorpion bowl is very big and a good value. It's probably the best Tiki Bar in SF, as the Tonga Room is in a hotel downtown and often very touristy. - Dave K. , posted 11/23/04

Fun Tiki Bar
One of the only happening places in the outer Richmond, this laid back, fun, Tiki bar always has a crowd. Share a scorpion bowl or choose from a plethora of umbrella drinks. - Psychic , posted 10/21/04

Mmmmm...Tiki
What I remember of my evenings at this local hangout crowded to the rafters on Friday and Saturday nights with SFSU and USF students, is a drink made with a massive block of orange sherbet. In a bowl. With a lot of straws. After that, things get blurry. - Nan , posted 10/19/04

Tiki Pleasure
This is a fun place to go mid-day or on weekdays. The drinks are great. It can get a bit crowded on weekend nights. - lunatic , posted 10/15/04

Cool Tiki Bar
Fun local tiki bar. The drinks are good, and the atmosphere is cool. As long as they stop playing AC/DC it's great. - Unsubscribed , posted 07/31/04
