About Trader Vic’s + the Mai Tai

Decades ahead of his time, Vic ‘The Trader’ Bergeron chose to offer Chinese dishes alongside the then-contemporary Continental cuisine, creating maybe the original fusion menu. Today, Trader Vic’s continues the tradition and still uses the Chinese Wood-fired Ovens featuring dishes from the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Asia, and Japan. And, as we all know, Trader Vic’s claims to be home to the original Mai Tai.

According to the Trader, Vic Bergeron, “In 1944, after success with several exotic rum drinks, I felt a new drink was needed. I was at the service bar in my Oakland restaurant. I took down a bottle of 17-year-old Jamaican J. Wray Nephew rum, added fresh lime, some Orange Curaçao from Holland, a dash of Rock Candy Syrup, and a dollop of French Orgeat, for its subtle flavor. A generous amount of shaved ice and vigorous shaking by hand produced the marriage I was after. Half the lime shell went in for color, I stuck in a branch of fresh mint, and gave two of them to Ham and Carrie Guild, friends from Tahiti, who were there that night. Carrie took one sip and said, “Mai Tai – Roa Ae” In Tahitian means “Out of this World- The Best”. Well, that was that, I named the drink ‘Mai Tai.’”

The Experience, Alameda: Rhythmix Cultural Works New Exhibit

The Experience:

Views of Democracy: Gratitude and Hope for the Future

“Views of Democracy is the culmination of more than a year of work to identify and curate a visual art exhibition that celebrates democracy,” says curator and founder of Citizen Joy, Jeff Raz. “Conceptualized during 2024, most of the planning for Views of Democracy took place during an election year. We knew that – regardless of the outcome in November – our country needs an informed and engaged citizenry. Our goal was to encourage a deeper collective commitment to learn about and participate in our democratic system, shining a light on what we have to be grateful for as well as the work to be done.”

Views of Democracy: Gratitude and Hope for the Future celebrates democracy through the eyes of visual artists–from video to sculpture and from painting to photography, textile art and mixed media. Accompanying artists’ statements, are both personal and universal and encourage reflection on democracy and citizenship.

Presented by Citizen Joy. Curated by Jeff Raz and Barbara Kibbe.

  • Exhibit Dates: September 6th – October 25th
  • Opening Reception: Saturday, September 6th, 2025, 3:00-5:00pm
  • Closing Reception: Saturday, October 25th, 3-5pm (free; RSVP)

The Experience, Richmond: East Brother Beer Co. News

The Experience:

A letter from the heart and soul

“From the start, our mission has been clear. Brew classic styles with quiet precision. Honor tradition while raising the bar for quality. Create spaces where beer speaks for itself and community comes first.

“That mission has guided every step we have taken, and it is the reason we grow carefully and deliberately. We do not open new spaces to chase growth. We open them when they allow us to live our values more fully and connect with the communities we care about most.

We would not be here without you. Our Richmond community. Our friends across the Bay. Everyone who has stood with us as we stayed true to brewing classic beer without shortcuts.

“Your support reminds us every day that doing something well, with patience and care, still matters. Because of you, we are here. And because of you, we are ready to grow.

“This September we will open two new locations: The Rec Room in San Francisco and Tam Tavern in Mill Valley. Each one reflects a different part of who we are, yet all are tied to the same ethos that began in Richmond. Classic beer, brewed with care, served in spaces built for connection.

“Three spaces. One East Brother experience. Always built on tradition, craft, and community.”
