The Tonga Hut Restaurant and Tiki Bar

The staff was very nice and the drinks were great

Best merch in town!

Frazzled staff.

One of my favorite bars in the city! They always have a great selection of seasonal cocktails and rotating craft beers. The bartenders are welcoming and remember regulars’ preferences. The outdoor patio is a nice bonus during warm weather. A perfect place to unwind after work.

Iconic, adorable, delightful, a required Palm Springs tiki stop!!!

Had a great time at this tiki bar. Food was very tasty. Service was good. Fun place in the desert.

Having embarked on a slow tour of the tiki trail I was excited to visit this outpost of the well known LA bar. A funky and entertaining interior with a fixed list of classic tiki drinks satiated our thirst. Seating isn’t really tables but more living room style with small groupings here and there - a welcome design.

This is typically a fun place to go. They have some good drinks and fun ones too in pineapples and stuff. I wish the place was actually a little bit bigger because it can get really busy and really loud sometimes. The service CAN be subpar at times. Getting a bartender for a drink is a misssion sometimes. Food is good. Overall it's a fun place to go once in a while.

Nice relaxed Tiki environment. Very good selection of food that is tasty and accompanying the drinks well. The drinks are king here and they don't disappoint.

We were looking forward to visiting Tonga Hut. When we arrived, we loved the atmosphere and the host who sat us. Everything was going great until our negative server showed up. Everything we talked about he had a negative or sarcastic comment. We were going to LuLu's for dinner and he said he was sorry. Really?? Here we have reservations booked, looking forward to a great meal, and he says he is sorry! He was sarcastic when asked what drinks were the best. He offered no help with the menu and even criticized our appetizer of the wonton chips. Our drinks were amazing except the Pina Colada. This surprised us. It was quite bland. I'm not sure if we will visit Tonga Hut again but if we do and have the same server, we will request a different server.

Tonga hut is a real deal tiki bar, by far my favorite we visited on our Palm Springs trip. The food is so good and authentic, the atmosphere is fun and casual, a great place to bring friends, and the drinks are phenomenal. But the staff probably made the experience for me, Murph is great and runs a solid ship, but Nikole was the best, i trusted her with my drinks and I would trust her with my life. We loved this place so much we came back twice in one day and here I am still singing their praises days later. Will absolutely be back again, try the Kraken the Dole Whip if you’re craving something sweet!

Great vibes and awesome atmosphere. Killer tiki-themed drinks and plenty of booze to go around. Friendly staff ensures you're quickly seated on busy nights. Karaoke on Wednesdays. Food is good and the drinks are better. Not exactly cheap, but not too expensive either. Excellent value for your night out.

Our waiter Daniel was terrific. Great service, great food. Great drinks. If we're in the Palm Springs area, we'll stop by again.
