Trader Vic’s opening on the Gulf Road?

Trader Vic's

A friend just told me that Trader Vic’s is opening on the Gulf Road right after Kuwait Towers and Ruby Tuesday. There are 3 small buildings that were just built on the sea side and one of them supposedly is Trader Vic’s. Will try and double check this myself tomorrow.

Update: I can now confirm that Trader Vic’s is in fact opening on the Gulf Road near Ruby Tuesday in front of Mais Alghanim.

    Mark – OT

    I urgently need a high quality voltage converter/current stabilizer to run 110V US made equipment. The stuff at Sultan & Tru Value won’t do. Can you suggest a place were I can get quality converters to run some pretty expensive hardware?

    Much appreciated

    Hi Nobu, The best thing to do is to buy a converter from ACE and have it fixed in a custom made wooden box. I am using it to run my treadmill which has 2 BHP motor and it has performed well so far.

  13. mentabolism says:

    Virgin Trader Vic’s, this should be interesting. we’ll see how this will be pulled off.. even tho i highly doubt it will flop, since most new restaurants tend to do well in kuwait.. i’m surprised the country has thin ppl..

  19. KTPD says:

    [cough] flop [/cough]

  20. 3azeez says:

    yet another source of bal3a for kwtis

  21. Ro says:

    Don Marios
    Lettre D’amour

  22. TanGo says:

    hey, bring your own ‘coke’,, ‘tea’,,, or distilled ‘water’…

  23. Moey says:

    they have amazing drinks in Amman, spicy things with alcohol!

  24. sfsa78 says:

    Maybe the owners know something that we don’t know.
    Who owns the rights for T.Vic’s in kuwait??

  25. sfsa78 says:

    By the way, the one in the Hilton, Park Lane(Mayfair).. london is the best.

  26. Random says:

    Its owned by al safat investment company. and i dont see the point of a trader vics without the live music and the booZe! sucks!

  27. crocko rock says:

    At least they are trying to bring something interesting to Kuwait asides from the shitty McDonalds and Poisonous Naif Chickens.

    Bring on the alcohol.

    It’s time Kuwait arrived into the modern age of freedom of choice.

    It always amuses me to go to London, Dubai, Paris, Rome and see the place crawling with Kuwaiti’s enjoying their alcoholic beverages.

  28. Lovely says:

    Its funny that everyone says it’s going to suck, but I guarantee that you will visit when it opens (hehe).

  29. zaydoun says:

    Thanks U2… I was just about to post the link from my blog

    Random.. Safat is a so-called “Islamic” investment company, so no way in hell will they ever serve alcohol even if it was allowed here!

  30. sfsa78 says:

    If they are a so called islamic investment co., just look at the Hypocrisy.. aren’t they supposed to stay away from any company that associates themselves with selling of alcohol etc.

  31. zaydoun says:

    sfsa78…. .MONEY $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

  32. rampurple says:

    old news and ya it sux to have a virgin traders vics but they do have really good food too. i expect it to be a flop as well…. something like the hard rock that is somehow still surviving

  33. IS-F Man (ALD) says:

    Why the hell are opening Traders Vic’s in Kuwait, even though I don’t drink I like my food cooked with wine not having that is an insult to the franchise :P really..

  34. A.f says:

    Never knew how many alcoholics there are in kuwait? alcohol smells like shit wonder how it tastes like?

  35. fractal00 says:

    HAHAHAHAHAHA HEHEHEHEHEHE HOOOOOOHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
    TRADER VICS IN KUWAIT .. now that’s something to crack about !!! what will u do there !! People go to trader vics to spend hours or maybe nights at a time, eating/drinking/dancing …. how will it be like in Kuwait :P

    I like th eone here in bahrain … great interiors and the outside venue Mai Tai is amazing during spring/early summer !!!

  36. crocko rock says:

    Yes, do feel sad for us in Kuwait. There is nothing much to do socially aside from drive up and down the Gulf Road and visit the malls that are packed with the same 40 shops.

    Kuwaiti’s are the most open-minded and creative of all the Gulf Arabs, yet we are forced to invest our money into developing World Class Entertainment Venues in other neighboring countries…..

    A small minority has us locked in the dark ages.

  37. LooLi_Q8 says:

    Btw.. trader viks is Gonna have the LIVE BAND !! 2 Male and 2 Female! But no dance Floor and the band is not allowed to dance!
    I got this info. from a reliable source! :P

    Kuwait Gov. told them that even the lady that sings has to play an instrument! :P coz its not allowed to have only a singer there apparently!
    The have to be properly dressed!!

    So it will have the same atmosphere to that of dubai but MINUS a lot of things :P

  38. Longhorn In Kuwait says:

    Now surprised that this place closed so soon! Wondering when Hard Rock will eventually close its doors? Also I wonder how long Planet Hollywood will last!
