Ring in the New Year, the Trader Vic’s Way

As the clock winds down on another year, there’s only one way to celebrate the countdown in true Trader Vic’s fashion: with a Mai Tai in hand.

Mai Tais at Midnight isn’t just a party—it’s a tropical toast to new beginnings, shared stories, and unforgettable nights. Whether you're joining us at one of our restaurants or hosting your own island-inspired celebration at home, we invite you to raise your glass to the year ahead—Trader Vic’s style.

🍍 A Toast Worth Remembering

Created in 1944 by Vic himself, the original Mai Tai has become the most iconic tropical cocktail in the world. And there’s no better time to sip one than under the stars, with music playing, friends gathered close, and a brand new year waiting just around the corner.
