It was like one big hipster shit show.
But it was the most wasted I have ever seen Tony in all my years of watching him.
Seriously… he’s speech-slurring shit-faced by the time he’s eating cheeseburgers in North Beach.
Kinda odd that he hit the Tonga Room and not Smuggler’s Cove.
I guess hipsters like mediocre kitschy shit as opposed to actual good kitsch.
Tonga Room = most watered-down tiki drinks ever…
tonga room = good seating & killer hotel vibe + the kinda kitschy shit that hasn’t been updated in forever
smugglers cove = shitty seating, douches & “ironic” kitsch :/
Emphatically concur.
some people like cats, some people like dogs, some people like both
Oh for those of you that like both, I strongly recommend the movie Cats & Dogs.

it’s funny that you would refer to someone as a hipster and in the same sentence make a snobbishly elite statement about kitsch bars. pot, meet kettle.
You must be new here…
Probably went to the Tonga Room because it is legit old-skool tiki bar, and a San Francisco institution, as opposed to the pretentious yuppie affectation that is the Smuggler’s Cove.
So relieved there was no mention of Ike’s. If the rest of the country knew we spend $13 on a sandwich, they’d hate us even more.
it only makes sense that he’d end his SF night shit-faced. oh, san francisco.
i think bourdain ends most of his nights shit faced.
Can’t you Missionites read? Tony left Food Network before he had grey hair. It’s Travel Channel, dawgs!
Whoever put this together should know that “The” Bart is not the same as Muni Metro, and certainly not the same as that blue shuttle thing at SFO.
glad im not the only one who was really peeved by bad montage’ing of totally dissimilar transit systems.
Thank you for posting the link to the full episode; I had only seen clips. It’s great to see Tony get wasted like a true San Franciscan.
On Smugg’s vs. Tonga Room, you can’t really compare the two. They are two completely different types of bars that happen to share similar decor and drink names. They are both amazing in their own ways, and they are two of my favorite bars in SF.
my takeaway: gotta get to to hyang
Thanks for posting, enjoyed this!!
