"At the Esmé Miami Beach Hotel I found the Bamboo Room, a 1,000-square-foot Trader Vic’s outpost that brings tiki cocktails to South Beach with indoor and outdoor seating for about 50; it draws inspiration from the original Bamboo Room that opened in Oakland in 1934 and features a drink menu that pays tribute to Trader Vic’s history with cocktails like the London-inspired Park Lane and El Polinesio, which nods to the brand’s former Cuban outpost. The bar shares space with a Sushi Bar so guests can pair drinks with omakase; led by CEO Rhett Rosen, it marks Trader Vic’s first Miami venture and is open Tuesday through Sunday from 5 p.m. until late." - Olee Fowler
