Erik Lorincz, the head bartender at the American Bar at The Savoy Hotel in London, has been hailed as one of the most impressive mixologists in the world. Among his many accolades, Lorincz battled 9000 other bartenders to win the 2010 Diageo World Class Competition, and many consider him to be the best at what he does. Upon visiting the United States, he had a long list of bars to visit. However, among his first stops were the Chateau Marmot and THE TONGA HUT!

That’s right. You can read an interview below where Lorincz mentions Tonga Hut after being asked which bars impressed him so far:

Most recently, in LAX Magazine’s 10th issue, Lorincz praises Tonga Hut again as one of the top 10 bars in Los Angeles! The others, in case you’re curious were The Varnish, Palihouse, Roger Room, Trader Vic’s, Golden Gopher, Library Bar, Tiki Ti, The Penthouse at the Huntley Hotel, and Bar Marmont.
