It’s a sad day for fans of the OG Vanderpump Rules. Tom Schwartz just revealed that the bar he opened on the series is up for sale. Speaking to Summer House star Carl Radke, Tom made the sad announcement while encouraging fans to “hang out” with him at the venue before it closes.
Carl Radke joked he could buy the bar and rename it “KyleCarl”
If you ever needed a sign to book a trip to LA, this is it. TomTom is, according to The Valley’s Tom, up for sale.
“TomTom is for sale,” he said on the More Life podcast. “It will probably only be open for a few more months, like two or three months.”
“But come hang out with me,” he went on, urging Bravo viewers and TomTom patrons to make the most of the bar’s remaining days. “I’m gonna be hosting on the weekends, and yes, I’ll DJ if you want,” he added.
“Honestly, TomTom is a cool bar,” Summer House’s Carl, who recently opened his own venue, replied. “It is a cool bar and the vibes are great. It’s sad to hear that it’s being sold.”
As for why, Schwartz is clear that it became too much to handle.
To recap, Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd partnered with Tom and his bestie, Tom Sandoval, to open the bar in 2018. Although it has undergone quite a few changes since then, most notably when Pump moved into the venue’s garden space, TomTom has remained a hotspot for Bravo fans.
To that end, Carl asked Tom on his podcast if he would consider “buying it back.” Sadly, he replied that it’s “too much” for him to take on … but perhaps that’s not the case for Carl. “Maybe I’ll buy it and call it KyleCarl,” he joked, referring to his own bestie, Kyle Cooke.
