Hula Hula’s 10th Anniversary Party
It’s time for tiki tinctures and booze in a volcano bowl, people. Lower Queen Anne’s Hula Hula, the karaoke bar sibling of Tini Bigs cocktail lounge, is celebrating a decade of colorful, umbrella-adorned drinks, which likely fuel a lot of karaoke nights. As Tini Bigs bids farewell at the end of the year due to a demolishing of its building, owners of the neighboring Hula Hula seeks new digs. But for now at least, toasts to ten years in its OG location with half off tiki drinks and call booze; starts at 4.
