What Makes Trader Sam's So Appealing?

We would LOVE if they would seat us at the bar... they always put us at the high tops and we dislike it. The door is constantly opening up letting in the bright sunlight and we tend to get really slow to nonexistent service. Bar is always on it, quick, chatty, and we are happy to have our eyes stay accustomed to one light level.

We make sure to go every trip, ideally twice, since they opened in 2011. We tend to split the burger and prices are in line with other cocktails and other tiki bars. They aren't cheap, but they're actually in line with the ones at my local watering hole in Portland.

My most recent visit was with bar seating and the service was not great. I prefer the table in the far left corner as you walk in the door.

I’m not knocking TS, just reporting on my recent experiences. Personally, I enjoy the bar at Carthay Circle Lounge or Hearthstone Lounge for striking up casual conversation. I’m glad you enjoy TS, it’s unique.

Oh totally! I didn’t mean to imply you were knocking it! I just got a little nostalgic haha
