this bar is amazing and needs to stick around.
if you are in san francisco or going there be sure to visit the tonga room. they have an awesome happy hour buffet and half-price drinks. besides how many places do you know that have a pool in the middle with a boat for bands to play on and there is a thunderstorm inside every half hour?
If anyone here is on facebook there is a Save The Tonga Room group.
