Tonga Hut

Tonga Hut is located on the second floor of its building. The restaurant has booth seating, and a dramatic tiki bas relief wall. Tucked at the back is a phone booth with a false back, leading into a small private room with a rich, dense, golden-era approach to tiki style. Behind that room is a small private lanai with a Witco bar and stools. Opposite the restaurant side of the space, there is a good-sized bar with a tiki-tinged mid-century modern look, and a lanai overlooking Palm Springs' main drag. The interior was created by Tiki Diablo.

The Palm Springs Tonga Hut location has a full food menu, including a flaming pu-pu platter. The drink menu is a mix of classic tiki drinks and their own modern creations, and includes a flaming coconut drink and shared volcano bowls. Tonga Hut hosts special music events, with particular emphasis on Exotica acts.

Fun spot with nice vibe and quite decent drinks, although some could have been mixed a bit better as a few had their syrups sinking to the bottom of the mug. Great service and chatter with our bartender. Quite comfortable and the patio deck is a nice place to relax. We didn't try the food, as we were going to Counter Reformation for dinner (you HAVE to go to this fantastic small-plate restaurant hidden in the Parker Hotel - that's another story, but trust me on this one) so I can't comment on the food.Definitely the best Tiki bar in the Palm Springs area.
