Um... your editors must have been sleeping this week. Josh Hartnett may hang out there, but there is no such celebrity as "Josh Harnett"

senor swanky's has always had photos on the walls featuring swanky enjoying margaritas with various top celebrities. I always liked swankys as long as I sit outside. Tourists can be assured that top celebrities eat there every day.

Do reality TV stars count? I once saw that girl from Fox marrying millionaire show by the bar once, or was she from the Bachelor? There should be a place where reality TV stars can eat/drink for free...

i'm definitely not proud to know this, but senor swanky's has always had that "celebrity hangout" tag in its name.

I go to Senor Swanky's on a regular basis solely based on the name of the place. It makes me feel all swanky inside.

In defense of the Señor, my brother once saw and spoke with Sam Rockwell (of "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" and "Matchstick Men") while he was sipping a marg in the Swanky outdoor seating. The ad didn't specify the grade of celebrity, and they probably drafted it immediately after that day. But still.
