I loved that place and never thought it would ever close. Then I moved away and when I first met my future wife , I started taking her to my spots over in Marin , one of the top spots was Tiburon Tommys... We would go 2 or 2 times a year , the Mai tais were the main reason along with their fabulous dinners . We talked to the owner several times and never got the impression that it would close. The top floor was only open when I was younger, im not sure when the top floor was closed... We would go in Janurary and they were closed for the chinese new year ...for a few weeks every year , so we would go later in the year... We visited between 1990 and 1995. I was looking for his recipe of the Mai Tai because it was best and was mind numbing... I did find the ingredients on an old menu posted... but if someone knows the exact recipe that would be great , it is not like any other Mai Tai that Ive seen... I have postcards and match books , once I dig them up I will post stuff Ive found. I am suprised there are people who are so into this , I always thought these kinds of bars were the coolest ever, especially Tommys . We were devastated when we went there and it was dark and closed.. around 1994 or 1995 I dont remember exactly.. Anyway we didnt take it for granted and enjoyed every minute of it... The view out the window was fantastic and the bar was a locals hangout for the rich people that didnt have anything to do . we would sit and listen to the people taking about their boats and such and rambling on.... One of the best things was the large wood bowls for the zombies and mai tais that 4 or 5 people could draw on at once .... Also Johnnie had a 3 mai tai limit , they were strong and would put your head on the table .... we learned a hard lesson , dont drink those on an empty stomach... !!!!! We took the kids there , but they didnt appreciate it until one of the girls asked for a Mai Tai recipe .. Thats what brought me here !!
