Vanderpump Rules’ Lisa Vanderpump and Tom Schwartz have big plans for the new year and holiday season, and they involve their West Hollywood hotspot, TomTom Bar and Restaurant.
In recent days, Tom has promoted a “Schwartz-approved” New Year’s Eve party at the popular haunt with an Instagram post showing himself behind the bar and dressed to the nines. There, guests can imbibe and enjoy eats from a prix-fixe menu, topping it off with a champagne toast when the clock strikes 12 midnight on Jan. 1. Fans will be happy to learn goat cheese balls are on the NYE menu, with wine-pairing add-ons featuring Lisa’s renowned sparkly rosé for what’s poised to be an epic countdown into 2026.
What’s more, Schwartz was happy to be in “good company,” per a different Instagram post from the TomTom page, with Lisa raising her glass high for patrons stopping in over the holidays. “Cocktails, good company, and a little holiday glow,” the post stated. “TomTom is your stop between Christmas and New Year’s, whether you’re brunching, sipping, or dancing it out.”
