TRADER VIC'S

This cocktail bar is decorated like a ship's dry dock, with a woven bamboo ceiling, rattan pots and glass floats as lampshades. The place is a little confusing, as it doubles up as a dining room for private parties. The atmosphere is pleasant, as the place is huge, airy and very exotic, with green plants and wood panelling everywhere. Cocktails are prepared in XL format, and the bar menu includes a fine selection of spirits. At weekends, the dance floor welcomes salsa aficionados who swirl to the sound of a live orchestra.
