Sugarcaddydaddy: I myself didn't make it to the Tonga Room-- I needed to go ahead to the Bamboo Hut. However:

The Tonga Room is absolutely NOTORIOUS for rudeness. It was the first stop on last year's Crawl; and some people received such bad treatment there they said they'd never go back.

I myself try to avoid it; but sometimes it can't be overlooked... particularly for an SF Crawl.

From what I heard, they were actually much nicer this year, and more considerate of Crawlers... giving crawlers the bar area is what I would have wanted, and I think that for at least some people, they didn't charge the $3 "entertainment fee". (For comparison, last year they wouldn't even discount it by a dollar for us, even though we had a group of 50 people plus... and the first year, they RAISED the cover on the spot as a deterrent.)
