Don’t miss the House Classics, like the Nutty Chi Chi, a vodka with macadamia nut flavors.

You can also grab a non-tropical drink like a Negroni or Manhattan.

They have a variety of bands that play on the weekends, and the atmosphere is always fun and festive.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and can whip up drinks like a Banana Liqueur or a Flaming Volcano.

Stop by Kahuna Tiki and try my favorite drink, the Spiked Hawaiian Punch, with intense grenadine, citrus, and hints of grapefruit.
Or, you can go for a Kahuna Paradise, a fragrant beverage with a watermelon and basil infusion.
They also have a great sushi menu with tuna, smoked salmon, and halibut.
There’s no better way to end a long day of touring Los Angeles than an evening at the city’s tiki bars.
Find something for everyone, from laid-back Tiki-Ti to bustling Tonga Hut.
