In his latest column, The Examiner's man about town AlSaracevic chats with Tony Nik's Sebastian Scala, who dishes out stories and martinis with ease.
Tony Nik's feels like putting on your favorite sweater. Sure, it keeps you warm. But it's the comfort and cozy that makes it special.
What works is the atmosphere. I started to coming to the place back in the 1990s and it instantly became one of my favorites in all of San Francisco. It has a throwback, comfortable vibe that evokes classier times. The days of hats and heels and ice cold martinis. The mood lighting keeps thing chill and the music never overwhelms. You can sit belly up to the bar, where Sebastian usually chats everyone up and keeps the drinks moving.
One minor point of contention is the aging sign that hangs out front of the bar. It's been in a charming state of disrepair for decades. Scala plans to restore it. Some people have complained about the plan, saying it's a local landmark, just as it is. But Scala wants to spruce it up. But Tony Nik's remains, not too far from other North Beach mainstays like Gino & Carlo, Specs' and Vesuvio. Those are the four horsemen of the North Beach bar scene, in my book.
