VIBE
This is full-blown, kitschy Polynesian. Think the Casablanca of Polynesian drinking establishments: the original Mai Tai was concocted by Trader Vic. Since 1963, the London outpost of this tiki lounge has survived the decades and still remains a nightlife establishment all around the world. It is THE original tiki lounge, and we can’t help but love it.

WHY WE LIKE IT
Perfectly kitschy from the bar menu offerings to the décor to the waitstaff’s uniforms.
