I stumbled into this place not expecting much based on the shockingly low (6.6? Really?) rating. Oh my stars! This is my new favorite tiki bar in the Bay Area (East Bay)! My friends and I loved it. Granted we went in the late afternoon, before the place was very crowded, but we totally dug it anyway. It gave us a chance to really soak the place in. The drinks were good and the back room gave the place plenty of space. I will be back!

This mostly counts as my favourite dive that also happens to be a tiki bar. Music is by all accounts all over the place and depends on who's bartending and who's controlling the music. Besides that it's been a place to go after an Oakland A's loss (which is bittersweet as it happens more often nowadays).

Visited for the first time this past weekend. I could have given it almost straight 9 or 10s on everything but the juke box was broken so there was no chance to play any exotica music...which would have helped immensely. Instead we were treated to such Tiki gems as Journey and Boston.......

The other detriment was the quality of the drinks themselves. There was a large drink menu, which was nice, and the drinks were strong, which is nice, but they were strong to the point of overpowering the other ingredients. I rarely saw our friendly bartender use a shaker and instead mixed everything in the glass.

On the upside, the decor was fantastic. Every square inch was utilized to house bamboo paneling, thatch, tiki masks and of course the topless lifesize hula statue with the swiveling hips. They also had some of the coolest mugs I've seen with their logo on the back. I'll post a pic soon. The bartender was really friendly which was nice.

If they can improve the craftsmanship of the drinks, I think the Kona Club could easily be one of the top 5 Tiki Bars in the Bay Area.
