TRADER VICS - MUNICH
Last Surviving Tiki Original at Bayerischerhof

Munich Tiki Bar Restaurant Trader Vics at Bayerischerhof photoTrader Vics at the Beverly Hilton Hotel closed forever, making the Munich location of the famed Polynesian restaurant located downstairs in the Hotel Bayerischer Hof, the last surviving original example of the unique architectual tiki style bar left in the world. There are still other Trader Vics, but are more modern reinventions, there is even a new one planned in Los Angeles to replace the old Beverly Hills celebrity hideout. Whenever I’m in Munich, I make it a point of tradition to stop for a Mai Tai at Trader Vics. The bamboo and lighted blowfish tiki style is experiencing a resurgence in retro popularity, but the orignal examples are dwindling. The Bayerischer Hof is one of Munich's premier luxury hotels on the north of the innenstadt (city center), a few minutes walk from the mechanical Glockenspiel show at the Neues Rathaus in Marienplatz (see also A TOUR WALK AROUND MUNICH).

Munich Trader Vics Unique drink and dining bar photo You don't have to stay at the Bayerischer Hof to get you Tiki on, just stroll on through the lobby to the stairs down below to the rich and moody polynesian atmosphere.The Munich Trader Vic's is one of the few left in the worldwide chain which retains its original décor of Tiki art and bamboo made hip in the late fifties by originator Victor "Trader Vic" Bergeron. The Munich Trader Vics was established in 1972 for the Munich Olympics now made hot topic around the water cooler by Steven Spielberg's "Munich" film. The Mai Tai is an original concoction of Trader Vics orginally invented by Bergeron in 1944 along with other fruity delights and it’s a nostalgic joy to get the original - paper umbrella and all - when one has had a fill of Wiesbeer and Wurst. © Bargain Travel Europe

CSI Munich

Assassination Munich walk photoThere are murders in big cities around the world everyday. On TV crime shows like CSI Miami they end up with an outline in chalk on the pavement. In Munich’s city center on the sidewalk Munich murder photoaround the corner from the Hotel BayerischerHof is the permanent outline in brass of Kurt Eisner, high-ranking Munich politician gunned down in the turbulent upheaval days of WWI. Some politicians are remembered for what that have accomplished, some for what they didn’t. But if you’re going to be remembered, it just might as well be for where you died.
