As part of a massive West Coast trip, my girlfriend and I stopped for lunch at Hula's. It was terrific! The food was delicious, really tremendous. Even if it weren't a tiki bar, if I lived nearby I'd be eating lunch and dinner there all the time. Folks were very nice and knowledgeable about the drinks. The mai tai appeared to be mixed from scratch.

Here are some photos from our visit...
Exterior shot... even though the stereotype is that a tiki bar should be dark, Hula's does well with the windows wide open. I suspect they do a strong restaurant business even amongst non-tikiphiles - the food is just tremendous and it's a very welcoming place.

Swell neon and light bulb sign in the main hallway:

Great carved post on the bar:

This is the Tiki Room, just off the main bar and restaurant area - chockfull of Bosko carvings (not visible in this photo):

Here are some of the carvings:

Really dug this fan in the Tiki Room:

This swell Munktiki Imports mug was for sale, also available in brown:

And here's the back of the mug:

Cannot recommend it enough!

Cheers,
