I heard this place could be hit or miss, so I got HIT by a wide margin. Wonderful server, with a beautiful and friendly dog, amazing cocktails, and a very fun crowd. This was Monday right around their time to open. Please try this historically fascinating spot if you're in the bay, and you may find their Blue Hawaii meets your needs!

Trad'r Sam is a renowned bar in SF, known for its friendly service, reasonable prices, and unique atmosphere. The staff is amiable, and the regulars welcome newcomers warmly, making it a great spot for locals and visitors alike. This dive tiki bar features immersive tiki décor, warm amber lighting, and layers of hand-crafted details that give the space a cozy, transportive feel. The atmosphere leans relaxed and nostalgic rather than loud or chaotic, making it a great stop for people who value ambiance as much as cocktails.
Famous "bowls" that are potent and best shared with friends are available, along with a selection of big tiki bar drinks featuring a lot of rum. The "Blue Hawaii" meets your needs. Bartenders are always super nice even when it gets a little busy, and the drinks are delicious. The vintage decor has a refreshed look after recent renovations, and it features a jukebox for entertainment. While the drink options may not be extensive, they are solid and worth trying. It's a cash-only establishment, making it a gem of a watering hole for an unforgettable experience, away from the more touristy spots in the city.
