Conga Lounge

One of the best Mai Tais I've ever had (the Original Mai Tai) and this small attic space is tricked out with tiki decor. A fun place.

The bartender here really makes you feel at home! Hands-down my favorite tiki bar in the Bay Area -- it's my feel-good spot. The Mai tais are fantastic, the happy hour and pizza is great, the atmosphere is really fun, and the service is the friendliest ever!

The Conga Lounge is one of my favorite spots in the Bay Area.
It's a dream of a place - small and cozy and full of tiki style, and fabulous drinks and food.  To me, the best bars have excellent food so I can sip a gorgeous cocktail while also eating a fabulous dinner, and Conga Lounge delivers that perfectly.
What's more, service is always excellent, friendly, and fun.  I was amazed when we visited this week and were chatting with the excellent bartender, Hope, and she recalled that we brought a small group of work friends to Conga for an engagement party 3 years ago and she remembered exactly what our friends had ordered to drink.  Wow.  I'd totally forgotten that they'd ordered Rosaritas before getting the fabulous Conga Mai Tais, but Hope remembered.  She always has a fun joke or story to tell us, and it's great to see her.
Conga Mai Tais are amazing - I think it's the cherry brandy on top that makes them so delicious.
You can order dinner from Cafe Rustica downstairs.  The pepperoni pizza is so good - best pepperoni I've ever had.  And food prices are surprisingly reasonable.  
Caesar salad is delicious, and they've got a great variety of salads to choose from.  Get a roast chicken and sides, or a delicious pasta dish.  It's all good.
Happy hour is 5-7pm where Conga Mai Tai's are just $5.  Bartenders will often stop by before 7 to see if you'd like to get a last drink before the special is over.   Bar appetizers are also $5 during happy hour.  Try the hot shrimp and artichoke dip with homemade bread.  
There's a tiny patio for outdoor seating.  And it's a great place to bring a small group, but give them a fair heads up so they can staff enough people that night and set up a table for your group. You'll definitely want to bring your friends here.  
Hope is absolutely the best - there's nothing like walking in after being gone for awhile and seeing Hope smile and get excited just because we are there.  Yeah, we luckily found that place where "everybody knows your name."  We'll be back soon!
