Oakland has always been part of the Trader Vicās story. š¹In 1934, Vic Bergeron opened a little saloon on San Pablo Avenue called Hinky D***s. A few years later, it became Trader Vicās. In 1944, the Mai Tai was created in Oakland, and a local cocktail story started traveling a lot farther than anyone could have imagined. Now Trader Vicās has headed back to Oakland with a new Outpost at Oakland Airport. For travelers, longtime fans, and anyone who knows what this city means to the brand, this one feels full circle. Oakland Airport, Terminal 2, Gate 25.
