The best! If you are craving the tiki experience of a lifetime, you owe yourself a visit. The staff is freaking amazing, too! They all are so knowledgeable and friendly. Super recommend!
Wee made a reservation a couple days ahead and landed a booth right across from the bar. Things got really busy ~8:30 with a bit of a wait, but the vibe is great (and spooky, for the season) and the drinks and preparation are the best!
Fantastic and historic place.

The Tonga Hut is a lively and atmospheric tiki bar located in the heart of the city. With a large covered outdoor patio and an air-conditioned indoor area, the restaurant offers a variety of seating options for guests, including booths, tables, and limited bar seating. The decor is true to the tiki theme, creating a vintage lounge-like ambiance with Hawaiian-themed decorations, red lights, and loud music. The service is praised for its friendly and attentive Aloha spirit, with the bartenders known for their quick service and playful banter. The menu features classic tiki cocktails, such as the popular Painkillers and the best Mai Tai in LA, which are well-crafted, strong, and reasonably priced. Whether you're looking for a fun Mothers Day celebration or a casual weekend gathering, the Tonga Hut, the oldest operating tiki bar in LA, provides an enjoyable and lively tiki experience. Walk-ins are welcome, but reservations are recommended for a table.
