Trader Vic’s opening on the Gulf Road?
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.

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 | April 22nd, 2008 at 2:41 pm

24. Moey | April 22nd, 2008 at 5:28 pm
they have amazing drinks in Amman, spicy things with alcohol!
25. sfsa78 | April 22nd, 2008 at 7:18 pm
Maybe the owners know something that we don’t know.
Who owns the rights for T.Vic’s in kuwait??
26. sfsa78 | April 22nd, 2008 at 7:20 pm
By the way, the one in the Hilton, Park Lane(Mayfair).. london is the best.
27. Random | April 22nd, 2008 at 9:41 pm
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!
28. crocko rock | April 23rd, 2008 at 12:24 am
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.
29. Lovely | April 23rd, 2008 at 9:52 am
Its funny that everyone says it’s going to suck, but I guarantee that you will visit when it opens (hehe).
30. zaydoun | April 23rd, 2008 at 10:37 am
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!
31. sfsa78 | April 23rd, 2008 at 11:39 am
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.
32. zaydoun | April 23rd, 2008 at 12:24 pm
sfsa78…. .MONEY $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
33. rampurple | April 23rd, 2008 at 3:18 pm
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
34. IS-F Man (ALD) | April 23rd, 2008 at 7:35 pm
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..
35. A.f | April 23rd, 2008 at 11:06 pm
Never knew how many alcoholics there are in kuwait? alcohol smells like shit wonder how it tastes like?
36. fractal00 | April 24th, 2008 at 12:32 am
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 !!!
37. crocko rock | April 25th, 2008 at 1:27 am
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.
