BarFly's Review of Hungry Tiger (CLOSED)
Moved and renamed. See Hungry Tiger Too!
Here is our review of the old place:
Smoky and divey as hell, but still a spot you want to be. "The New Sandy Hut" is now thoroughly hipsterfied, but in the best way - elbow to elbow off-duty rockstars and cute babies whoop it up here on a regular basis. Cool staff.
Beulahland, Casa Del Matador (SE), Chin-Yen, Chopsticks Express, Holman's, Laurelhurst Theater, Red Flag, Tabla, Tapalaya
hey, if you like this place you should enjoy it while you can. they are closing in a couple of months.
Ladies do not have to beware! this is an average hipster dive. Scott (the doorman) has a temper if you start a fight (or something) but otherwise he's harmless and a nice guy. The owner is a jerk (i know from personal experience) but he ain't there very often and he ain't a guy a girl is going to smile at anyway.
Ladies beware. If you even smile at the owner, he will grab your ass. If you date the bouncer(cranky, bald,middle aged door guy), he will forever determine whether or not you ever see this place again. My suggestion . . . tip the bartenders well, avoid the owner & bouncer, and enjoy the music.
I stopped in for a quick stiff drink before going to a movie at the Lauralhurst with a friend and the bartender talked us in to the bargain priced fishbowl sized Long Island Iced Tea. It was an honest to goodness fishbowl. We felt like a couple of asses sipping that thing with a pair of straws, but Jesus, we got assholed fast. Great place when a cheap fast buzz is a priority.
