Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar

The Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar is a Polynesian-themed tiki bar and restaurant located inside the Fairmont San Francisco that opened in 1945. The venue is notable for its indoor saltwater lagoon with a floating bandstand and for staged 'tropical storms' featuring lighting, sound effects, and poured rain during performances. The bar's themed decor and theatrical presentations have made it a long-standing landmark of San Francisco nightlife and design.
