TRAD'R SAM
With the winter approaching and fall at our backs it is not surprising to see the many different types of hot refreshments in many local coffee shops around the city. For someone like me, who is always looking for something tropical like a smoothie, I like to hit up Trad'r Sam's Bar in the Richmond District. Tad'r Sam is not your average bar that you will find in San Francisco. This bar has a unique "islandy" feel to it. With their infamous drinks and their wooden furniture this bar has an atmosphere as if you were in a Caribbean island or even Hawaii.
The drinks that they serve at Trad'r Sam is unique to its name. This bar serves alcoholic smoothies that are not in glasses, but in Bowls! Yes, these drinks are huge. Do not plan on drinking one whole bowl by yourself unless you want to experience the worst headache in your life the next morning. In my last visit I shared one bowl with my friends of four. That one bowl was more than enough. Included in the drinks are miniature umbrellas that add to the tiki atmosphere.
This is the infamous drink called the Scorpion that my friends and I shared. The Scorpion speaks for itself. It may look harmless but this drink is a creeper. The Scorpion tastes sooo good but the alcohol will definitely catch up to you. The Scorpion bowls go for $14. With sharing with 4 people, individually we each just paid $3.50!
I found to love the the tiki/islandy atmosphere of Trad'r Sam. The bartenders are more than friendly and accommodating. With a juke box in the bar, it allows for customers to choose their own music. Although the bar does not come equipped with a dance floor do not let it stop you from hitting those dance moves! Trad'r Sam is a great bar to go to, to get away from the monotonous bars with no style! It is the perfect place to grab a few of your friends and have a great time with tasty drinks.
