    Bamboo Room by Trader Vic's was located in the hotel we stayed at, so naturally we had to visit. We love a tiki bar! The interior is beautiful and there's plenty of comfortable seats and patio seating outside too. We came two nights in a row during our vacation. There was no wait and our server was really attentive and friendly. Happy Hour is a good deal to enjoy some well-crafted cocktails. If you have the inKind app, you can also take advantage of a $20 off $60 deal during your visit!

    Here's the schedule it's a bit dated. There's also a rooftop. They're having DJs down in the bamboo room.

    It's a cool vibe. Some of the DJs are outstanding. They are now pumping in air in the summer keeps it. Cool good place to vibe.

    Beautiful inside bar

    Tucked inside the Esme Hotel awaits Bamboo Room, for your drinking pleasure. Formerly El Salon, the vibe is chic mid-century modern tropical tiki cabana with a touch of class! I don't think you can go wrong with any of their cocktails on the menu. Presentation and flavor profiles were on point. Great place to start the night or end up. Space is small but there are many tables. They don't have bites yet but there will be in the future. Love love loved this spot! You will too!

    Great cocktails & really attentive service. My drinks were delicious, but watching how even a simple G&T was poured with care , what kind of tonic do you like, one lime or two. Shout out to Shawn for making the evening special

    We came here to kick our night out off while staying in Miami before a Bahamian cruise. We were made specialty cocktails and even an off the menu mocktail. Incredible vibes, lovely service, would come back here in an instant!

    I was excited to read the news about the opening of the first Bamboo Room by Trader Vic's in Miami, knowing that I'd be in town the following week. I'm happy to say that tonight was the night I was able to visit, and it definitely lived up to expectations. First off, this new concept is not a typical Trader Vic's. This is a cozy and casual space off of a courtyard behind the Esme Hotel (of which it is part). Think tropical rather than tiki. You won't hear any Martin Denny or other Exotica (it wasn't on the playlist tonight at least), but the drinks are top notch and the crew behind the bar will do everything to make sure you have an enjoyable evening. In addition to traditional tiki drinks, you can also try one of several house cocktails that are inspired by Trader Vic's locations around the world (past and present). We tried the El Polinesio and the Park Lane. Recommend both, especially the latter. I can't say enough good things about the folks behind the bar, especially Alexander. He took great care of us tonight, and I look forward to our next visit. ral house cocktails that are inspired by Trader Vic's locations around the world (past and present).

    So glad someone told us about this gem! Great atmosphere, good drinks from Mai tias to expresso martinis! Aloha

    Beautiful space for elevated 'tiki' cocktails and attentive and knowledgeable service from Alexander. I'll be back for later-night music!

    Made a specific effort to stop here the night before going on a cruise. We had made reservations in…read moreadvance. I was not disappointed. Staff was friendly and welcoming. They were excited to share their story and about the theming of the bar. We had great discussions about their drink menu and the different rums. Atmosphere was fantastic and very immersive. The drinks were great and presented with flair. We got to sit in peacock chairs and had a great time.

    What an amazing evening! Two of my favorite things: A speakeasy, and a tiki bar. So a tikeasy!…read moreSure, it took a couple of tries, and maybe asking the wait staff at the Irish bar next door, where the tikeasy was hiding. You enter an immersive world that really outshines any tiki bar to which I've ever been. The magic radiates out of every nook and cranny. That was complimented by our bartender, Billy, knocking out some perfect killer classics, like a real Mai Tai, and Navy Grog, that, post the 1950s became kind of sugar filled, over-the-top mockeries of the Tiki cocktail arts. No mockery here. Just the old school magic. It's a very analog, and thankfully honest, unhipster revival for a generation who knows not of Bali Hai, Don the Beachcomber, the Mai Kai, and San Francisco's once-great, now seedy Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar, at the Fairmont Hotel, on Nob Hill. The crowd, including the regulars, were a lot of fun. In all, a really awesome evening! Five stars, for all of that, and a sixth for the memories.

We did a full buyout of the space, and from start to finish everything exceeded expectations. The food was absolutely fabulous, the space was fun and vibrant, and it perfectly captured the local Miami vibe we were hoping to share with our team. The service was truly top-tier -- attentive, organized, and seamless, even with a large group. Our attendees had an amazing time, with plenty of great food, great energy, and lots of pictures and memory-making throughout the evening. It was the perfect way to round out a week of corporate meetings, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend for both group events and special occasions.

There's everything from a hammock to standard outdoor furniture. We ordered a few drinks throughout the night, thoughts on all: - Breakfast in the Moonlight: delicious, tastes like a tiki drink, easy to drink and balanced -East of Eden: I didn't love this one as much but the bartender recommended it so it must be popular. It gives me cucumber water at the spa vibes but in a cocktail form. -Always Summer Negroni: I absolutely loved this drink! My favorite one of the night. So cool because it's a clear drink. Really nicely balanced cocktail, not too bitter. -La Bamba Colada: Tastes like a piña colada! But not overly sweet. No dairy for my fellow lactose intolerant friends (just coconut milk). At some point we also ordered a salad, the Shaker Salad with mahi mahi - I liked it! Friendly bartender and staff and overall great place to stop in and grab a drink! They have pretty reasonable prices too.

    Soo I came to this bar last weekend and again last night for a redemption. I will say that this…read moreexperience was better than the last. When I came last weekend the vibes were great, it was just extremely packed to the point that everyone was grinding up against each other. Which in that moment I didn't care because I figured it's at capacity and that's normal. Although, I realized when I was leaving the bar that someone had opened my purse and taken my entire wallet. I was bummed because I couldn't continue partying up the night. This led me to message them on Instagram, which was great because they told me to come in and drinks would be on them for the inconvenience. We got to the bar and I spoke with the bouncer and he said to go to the bartenders, that they would direct me to Rensel the bar manager. He was absolutely lovely, provided my friends and I a round of cocktails and told us to look for Sophia for another round. We didn't end up getting another round because we were exhausted from dancing the night away. It was still very nice and accommodating that they did that and we appreciated it. Sophia was very bubbly and attentive as well. Overall, if you are looking for a bar with a disco ball!! This is a cool spot to come to, they have so many different specialty cocktails. They are all delicious and unique! The music is great, the dj really keeps the crowd moving. For parking, there is a lot in the back of the establishment or street parking as well.

    This place is such a vibe and the drinks are good! You can play games here too with friends.read more
