Mystery, romance and adventure await you at this bewitching tiki bar inspired by the world-famous Jungle Cruise.
A Far-Out Voyage to Far-Flung Lands
Aloha, ahoy, aha!
Welcome to the mystery, romance and adventure of Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar… you lucky people, you.
Many years ago, legendary explorer Trader Sam was bitten by the bartending bug (initially we thought it was just a big mosquito). Ever since then, Sam searches the Amazon, Congo, Mystic Point, Polynesia, and every exotic locale in-between for ingredients to mix into these magical libations.
Sam also picked up many of the trinkets and artifacts you see around you at his namesake bar—souvenirs and gifts from all over the globe.
In the tiki bar business, it’s a real jungle out there, but once Trader Sam began serving refreshing elixirs to explorers and adventurers, the word really spread!
So welcome aboard… ashore… or wherever you are! Cheers! Drink Up! Tulleeho! Kanpai! Prost! Kungaloosh! Ooogy Wawa! And above all, enjoy the time you spend with us at the world‐famous Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar.
P.S. Just so you know—this place isn’t called “Enchanted” for nothing.
P.P.S. If you’re wearing yellow, don’t act like a banana.
Legendary Libations
Intrepid explorers can test their mettle by summoning Uh Oa, the tiki goddess of disaster, with a Polynesian cocktail of little-known nectars. Partake of a Piranha Pool, Stoli Strasberi Vodka blended with Pineapple Juice, Cream of Coconut, Strawberry Purée, and Blue Curaçao.
Shipwreck on the Rocks, Krakatoa Punch and the Zombie are among Sam’s other antidotes for the ordinary. A boatload of beers and wines are also served for thirsty travelers 21 and over, while Sam’s No-Booze Brews will enchant half-pint adventurers.
Jungle Cruise-ine
Order up items with tropical flair—now featuring a scrumptious new breakfast menu!
Start your day with a fantastic morning meal—available for walk-up reservations only and served from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Dive into Ube-stuffed French Toast, Tropical Pancakes or the savory Loco Moco Burrito.
For lunch and dinner, chart a fearless course with Chile-Orange Glazed Chicken Wings or fried pork and vegetable pot stickers. Then devour a steaming bowl of Tonkotsu Ramen.
Sam swears these delights and others won’t shrink your head—they just might stretch the belly.
