"Look for $7 Mai Tai every Thursday from this downtown Atlanta institution, along with the occasional happy hour deal throughout the week. Live music takes place on Tuesday evenings now." - Eater Staff
"A longstanding tiki outpost in the city that has been pouring classic scorpion bowls since opening in the Hilton basement in 1976, anchoring Atlanta’s tiki tradition." - Caroline Eubanks
"Few hotel restaurants in Atlanta are as iconic as Trader Vic’s, located on the bottom floor of the Hilton Downtown. The bar menu here features tiki cocktails created by legendary barman and restaurateur Vic Bergeron, including the Mai Tai, Zombie, and the frozen Peachtree Punch (found only in Atlanta). Dine on everything from crab rangoon and salt and pepper calamari to kung pao chicken, volcano shrimp, and rack of lamb served with curry vegetable Singapore noodles." - Missy Frederick
"We usually only recommend this downtown Polynesian-themed hangout for drinks because their cocktail list is a mile long and decor like a dolphin statue dressed in a coconut bra and hula skirt kind of screams “let’s drink.” But they also have an entire page of non-alcoholic riffs on their signatures—like a very tasty mai tai sans rum." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
