Editor’s Note: Remember kids, no matter how exquisitely awesome the music and ambiance is, it’s always safer to go with the beer.
Thing of the Day: Rumor has it that the Tonga Lounge may be closing soon. Better start working on contingency plans: Island Bamboo Tiki Bar – Natural w/ 3 bar stools – Tropical Decor
