Cocktails – Tonga Room

Tonga Room, San Francisco CA

Came here after work for happy hour and had a blast! The Tonga Room is a historical bar in San Francisco and I finally made it after SO many years of living in this wonderful city. The service can be bit hard to get a hold of since the place was packed from the get-go, but the drinks were yummy and you can’t beat the cheesy tiki atmosphere. And they have random rainstorms for goodness sake!

Pickled onion, cucumber. $10

This was one pretty good burger. It was definitely on the small side (almost slider-sized), but the patty was delicious and I loved the small, soft bun. This burger was simple and delicious!

Fanny Bay oysters – Farallon

Fanny Bay oysters - Farallon
One dozen served with champagne mignonette. Happy hour $12
Farallon, San Francisco CA

These were good (not the best), but at a dollar each I’m not gonna complain too much. As long as I had a bit of the mignonette with them I was fine. Some of them weren’t shucked very cleanly though, but the seaweed garnish was a nice touch.
