The grandaddy of S.F. tiki bars, The Tonga Room, which was saved from a developer’s wrecking ball last year and may just be around forever, is hosting one of their annual luaus next week, on April 19. The price is slightly steep at $55 seeing as it doesn’t include drinks, but there will be lots of food (including Huli Huli chicken, Tongan fried rice, and dumplings) and entertainment, and you will get lei’d. Cocktails will be available at happy hour prices, we’re told, and the fun goes from 6:30 to 10 p.m. You’ll need to RSVP at 415.772.5278, or email this guy. Oh, and try to keep your drink order simple if you don’t want to end up with a record-shattering headache the next day. (And if you get inspired to go over there tonight, you shouldn’t; they’re closed for a private event.)
