My husband and I dropped by the Tonga Room on a Friday in July, 2009 during happy hour. I had a very good margarita (rum and I don't get along very well...goes back to rum and coke days in the late 60's) and my husband had a beer. They do have San Francisco prices but at least happy hour is not outrageous. They now have a limited $9 buffet and it looked pretty good. We just went for the one drink but it looked as if they did a good job on the tropical drinks. They still have the thunderstorm over the pool. By the way, my husband said the tiki bar was designed in lieu of doing away with the swimming pool. Be sure and take the time to appreciate the lobby of the Fairmont while there. Lots of history and beauty. Even though it is in the ritzy Fairmont, dress was casual.
