Highrise Tower Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I just discovered another restaurant of the Shamrock Hotel back in the 1960s. Shamrock Hilton Charcoal Terrace Restaurant. Sometimes written as Charcoal Terrace Restaurant & Pavilion. I wonder why this restaurant wasn't as famous as Trader Vic's Restaurant? Maybe Trader Vic's was more of an unusual niche restaurant so it got the fame? Charcoal Terrace sounds like a steak house, which were on ever other street corner. Trader Vic's was Polynesian and was probably more unique than your average steak house. Photo from May 1967, showing The Towers at 2130 W. Holcombe Blvd. with street signage for both of the Shamrock's restaurants. Interesting advertising as that's not exactly Main & Holcombe, where the Shamrock hotel was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earlydays Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Trader Vic's was nationally known. In the 60's they were in Oakland, San Francisco, Dallas and Houston....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
