We will certainly miss SF Trader Vics' - our favorite stop off point whenever in the City. Actually, it was the first place I headed to after I picked up the business license for Forbidden Island.

Sadly, the end has been evident for some time now. Our last few visits have had us being the only folks at the bar (on a weekend night) with a myriad of open tables and ever changing bar staff. On a recent Xmas shopping trip, we escaped the madness that was Union Square and caught a cab to Vics, only to discover that they had changed their hours (again) and were now closed till evening. On another occasion, they were just closed.

SF Vics was without a doubt, the best place to order a Trader Vic's Stinker. Emeryville tries to duplicate Lars' unique recipe for me, but it never quite tastes the same.

Really, really sad. SF Vic's ... you will be missed.

Now can someone please help them move some of the decor to TV Las Vegas.
