Step off the office-blocked highrise-laden streets into an island oasis. Tiki bar? Rum den? Cocktail club? No matter which way you swing it, Hula Bula is instantly happy-making. It is a wonderland of kitsch exotica and midcentury eclectica. Carrying on the tiki torch lit by LA’s love of Polynesian-themed bars in the 50s and 60s, Hula Bula specialises in rum-based cocktails (sporting over 170 varieties of rum, many rare and unusual) and lush lounge tunes. You can't not smile when sipping booze in a tiki mug, adorned with fruit and frou frou. It’s humanly impossible.
