Tommy's Joynt RIP?

Looking that way.

There is no bottom to this madness.

Thanks Mike. They've gone downhill a bit but still a fun place to go.

Yes looks that way. Sources also saying they will plan to reopen. Hope so.

Thanks, mike

What show were you coming from Judit?

I wasn't. I was hanging out with friends on my way to the airport to fly to L.A. to visit my folks. We stopped at Tommy's Joynt, I dropped just before we got there, we hung out and then my friends took me to SFO. It was very tidy that I was starting to level out as we went to the airport and I was easy as the plane took off. Pretty slick timing, actually. I took a bus from LAX to the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and my dad picked me up. Hi dad.

Must have been a nice flight.

It was fun. I'm sure I was wide-eyed and didn't talk to my seat-mates.

Steve Silberman is inevitably gonna have to make a tweet about this.

I miss the days of smoke filled cabins with blankets and pillows and magazines and iced cocktails.

As well he should. Me and a bunch of buddies and others took over the upstairs room after a particularly ripping Warfield Garcia Band show one night.

Had a good old party up there.

Fun times, fun place.

Sounds like quite the first trip, judit. Kind of reminds me of the old Donovan song Fat Angel: Fly Translove Airlways, get you there on time.

Good song, mike.

The cool back room at Tommy's Joynt was where I first met a bunch of Zoners in 3D!

I watched one of the 49ers Super Bowl games in Tommy's Joynt while tripping on acid (but not my first trip).

I've only been to Tommy's a few times, but for me it's a quintessential SF place.

Love

quirky?  No problem!

I used to work across the street from tommy's, in the 1990s, in the business tower of the cathedral hill hotel.  what a dump that office was.  however, it was, as i said, directly across from tommy's.  i had many a cheap after work and pre-show drink or three there.  it was like being in a bukowski novel.  also just a short walk or bus ride to the fillmore and great american and regency ballroom (i think that's what it is/was called).  definitely a great and authentic SF place.   

Viva Tommy's!

and sight and smell of the corned beef and roast beef ready to slice as soon as you walked in...I can picture it now

it was so hard to choose and you'd better be prepared to order what you wanted
