Review:
Tiki bars come in and out of fashion, but if you are ever in the mood for a colorful drink with a little umbrella sticking out of it, check out Palm Springs offspring of the legendary 55-year-old North Hollywood Tonga Hut. Located above NYPD, a pizzeria on North Palm Canyon Drive, Tonga Hut has colorful and vibrant decorations typical of tiki bars.
Tonga Hut features an eye-catching clamshell and lava rock fountain, rich dark wood-paneled walls, and fishing nets hanging from the ceiling.
The authentic art pieces from the Pacific Islands are especially spectacular, and some are even fit for museums. Be sure to try one of their creative drink concoctions; whatever you choose, you can’t go wrong.
The food comes out of the adjoined Polynesian restaurant Hideaway, and their authentic pupu platters, served on real wooden carved platters, are simply delicious.
Tonga Hut, 254 North Palm Canyon Drive, Palm Springs, California, Phone: 760-322-4449
