Hula Bula Bar

Located just a little way outside of Perth's CBD, this little bar is hugely popular with the after-work-drinks set, and is completely packed out on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

It's small; on and a bit rooms to be exact, with a people capacity of about 100 tops, so it's certainly what one would call an intimate night out. But it's fabulous. Hula Bula is reminiscent of a South Pacific beachside bar, with murals on the walls and lots of fake foliage everywhere. Drinks are reasonably priced for what you get (they're priced between 14 and 25$$ and are generous in their alcohol content), and if you are happy to leave an ID deposit of some kind, you can have your drink in a Tiki Mug. :D

The music is low and loungey.. good beats and recognisable oldschool songs. Huge carved wooden Tiki-Gods glare down at you from the walls, and even the toilets are themed! PLUS they give you toys in the drinks, like eyeballs and swamp-monsters! :D

In conclusion, this place is awesome. It's become my new favouite joint in Perth for a few drinks and a conversation with friends, as one can groove but still hear each other over the music and chatter. It's something a little different for the sleepy little city of Perth, and is well worth a visit in the late week.
