We visited the Conga Lounge on Saturday Feb 20, 2010 for the first time and were blown away. Tiki is alive and well in the East Bay! It surpassed our expectations; great food, great service, great drink and it definately had the right vibe. Jordan and the crew took good care of us all night and we will be sure to make it a regular stop in our Tiki Bar rotation. We are very fortunate to have such high quality establishments like this in the Bay Area. Lucky us!!!!
