"Trader Vic’s Hospitality Group has opened Bamboo Room at the Esmé Miami Beach Hotel, bringing tiki cocktails to South Beach. The 1,000-square-foot space, including indoor and outdoor seating for 50, draws inspiration from the original Bamboo Room that opened in Oakland in 1934. The drink menu pays tribute to various Trader Vic’s locations throughout 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 Sushi Bar, allowing guests to pair drinks with omakase. Led by CEO Rhett Rosen, this marks Trader Vic’s first Miami venture, with the bar open Tuesday through Sunday from 5 p.m. until late." - Olee Fowler
