After a sun-roasted picnic at the Albany bulb, the girls were feeling thirsty...and "thirsty" as well. Jora J recommended Trader Vic's for drinks. I felt underdressed, but then I remembered that I was in the East Bay, so hey, I could slum it.
When I walked in here I was instantly transported to an earlier time in my life when these big kitschy marina-side restaurants were the height of cool for me and my boat-loving family. Then I was transported to the college years when finding ourselves in a large, half-empty chain restaurant in the middle of sunday afternoon was the norm. These days, though, coming to a place like this is a pretty rare experience. I wasn't expecting much out of it...until I saw the drink menu. Damn! Pages and pages of the most exotic nautical and/or tropical drinks. For a rum addict like me, this was heaven. I wanted something with more booze than sugar, so I tried the Samoan Fog Cutter. It was stiff all right, and the perfect way to cool down after a day in the sun.
I hear there's a Trader Vic's in the city too, but I don't think you can beat the waterfront location this one has. If you want to totally jettison your hip, city-centric mindset for a night, you could do a lot worse than hopping over the bridge and getting your drink on here. Bring some friends and try the rum keg!
