Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar

Always a fun time! Our Skipper, Des, was so much fun. Drinks were excellent and so was the food, although we ordered too much of it. We got the poo poo platter, the Wagyu cheeseburger and the Kahlúa pork sweet potato fries.

My buddy chose to eat at a spot outside the theme park and this was a great pick. I had their striped bass and wagyu lettuce wrap burger with sweet potato fries along with their pupu platter. Everything was delicious but the pupu platter was the stand out. The drinks were good also and chose the “Safe Travels” which was pretty good with my lunch options. I chose to sat outside not knowing the interior was excellent, next time I’ll dine inside the bar area. I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items.

Tiki bar with tropical drinks and a limited food menu. Inside is heavily themed but due to limited seating is difficult to get a reservation and typically has a long wait. There is more outdoor seating but there isn’t the theming. Service was very good. The food and drinks were good. Prices were in line with what you’d expect to pay at a resort restaurant.

So I'll start with the good. The food was top-notch, the drinks were exquisitely crafted, and the tiki mugs were excellent. My wife got the Pupu Plater. Every part of it was delicious, but the orange chilie wings really stood out as the best. I got the Poke Bowl, Ahi tuna. The poke was good. It reminded me of a less spicy version of a poke back home. It's worth the price, at least. For the drinks, I got a Shipwreck on the Rocks and Piranha Pool. The Shipwreck was strong but not overbearing. The Piranha Pool was very sweet and more of a dessert, I loved it. My kids got cheeseburgers, pretty mid to be honest. We did get dessert while we were there. I got the coconut cake, best coconut cake I've ever had. No for the bad. Unfortunately when we showed up at 5pm, the hostess was quite rude. I had asked for inside seating and made it clear we didn't mind waiting. She snapped and told us it was too late and the kids could not go in there. The app shows kids can sit inside up until 8pm, if that's no longer the case it needs to be changed. I shouldn't be chastised by a hostess over it. My next complaint still falls on the hostess, I requested seating in the shade since we are from Alaska and the heat was quite intolerable at times. She placed us directly in the sun, thankfully our server was able to move us to a better spot. I took 1 star off the service for the rude hostess, our waitress was fantastic. The atmosphere really can't be helped much. We were seated outside, not inside as requested. At the price point of $240 and the disappointing service of the hostess, we will not be returning to Trader Sam's Disneyland. I'll take the drive next time and find a different tiki bar.

Lovely atmosphere with a great vibe inside and live music outside. The food was ok but the drinks were fabulous. Our sever was hilarious and genuine. I appreciated the thoughtful attention. Would definitely return.

Party of two, was seated at the bar with no wait at around 6PM on a late August Monday. The drinks were amazing, the souvenirs are fun, and the staff is very fun and friendly! Highly recommend sitting inside as you get to enjoy the staff and special effects, though you are limited to ninety minutes.

Like everything Disney does, this place goes all in — nothing is done in half measures! It’s an absolute must for the experience alone. The interior design is stunning, and the cocktail menu is super original—some even come with a fun, interactive twist. Huge shoutout to the staff as well, they’re not just bartenders, they’re fully immersed in the theme and genuinely committed to making your time here unforgettable. Top-tier experience all around. P.S. If you can, get a seat at the bar, they are the best seats in the house.

Located at the Disneyland Hotel resort, it is an absolutely fantastic place for Disney adults to grab a good drink. Trader Sam's is a fun and relaxing Tiki-themed bar offering a great variety of tropical drinks and fun, collectible cups you can purchase as souvenirs. The food is good, with great platters and seasonal dishes. The atmosphere inside the bar is chill and relaxing, with a low-light setting. It is small inside and really set for groups of 2–4 indoors. They offer outside seating where live music sometimes plays, seating more depending on your party size. Overall, it's a great place to experience.
