TIki News: Trader Vic's Tiki Bar in Dallas is Closing. :(

A Tiki Temple Will Close it's Doors.

“We apologize for the lengthy silence. As you may know, earlier this year a pipe burst in our restaurant. We tried tirelessly to find a way to keep the doors open, but the cost of remodeling was just too high. We will not be reopening Trader Vic’s Dallas, however, we are very excited about a new concept restaurant that will be taking over the space. For now, that is all we can share. As we work through this process, we will use this fan page to keep you as informed as possible. Thank you for all the great memories at Trader Vic’s Dallas!“
