About Hula Bula Bar

Step off Victoria Avenue into an unpretentious retro sanctuary packed with bamboo, carved masks, and vintage exotica sounds. It is an easygoing haven for a small crew dodging Perth’s cavernous beer halls. Behind the bamboo counter, bartenders shake rum-heavy classics, fiery fish bowls, and thoughtfully balanced zero-proof cocktails topped with cherries and plastic trinkets. Drinks arrive with salty bar peanuts—there is no kitchen on-site, just rum and raisin ice cream—and you can take home the kitsch glassware or retail bottles straight from the shelf.

  • Immersive Tiki Aesthetics: Bamboo fixtures, rattan accents, and retro island tunes create a playful vintage setting.
  • Rum & Tropical Cocktails: Curated rum menu, fish bowls, and zero-proof mocktails garnished with keepsakes.
  • Take-Home Mugs & Bottles: Collect commemorative tiki mugs and select bottles of rum directly over the bar.
  • No Kitchen Menu: Focuses squarely on drinks with complimentary peanuts and rum and raisin scoops.

Why Choose Hula Bula Bar

Discover what makes Hula Bula Bar Perth's quintessential retro tropical retreat.

  • Immersive retro tiki atmosphere

    The bar immerses guests in authentic mid-century tiki styling featuring bamboo fittings, rattan accents, tropical masks, and ambient island soundscapes.

    Detailed tiki decor, extensive menu of exotic cocktails and mind blowing music mixing Ultra-Lounge, Northern Soul, bluebeat, beatnik jazz and British beat bands.

  • Complete island escapism

    Transportive tropical styling and exotic concoctions allow guests to step away from daily routines into an island state of mind.

    The Caribbean music is also a great way to enjoy the atmosphere and the drinks while being in a great company so for quite some time you forget to be in Perth.

  • Inclusive non-alcoholic creations

    Guests opting out of alcohol are thoughtfully accommodated with flavorful, creative mocktails served with full tropical presentation.

    If like me, you don't or cannot drink alcohol, I highly recommend a mocktail at Hula Bula. 10/10 tasty, fun and mine had a cherry!

  • Welcoming, friendly crowd

    A warm, welcoming team and lively energy create an unpretentious social scene that brings small groups and solo visitors together.

    All the staff & customers are friendly, so anyone cannot help but feel welcome here.

  • Intimate escape from loud beer halls

    Designed with cozy booths and arranged seating, the venue serves as a comfortable, conversation-friendly refuge from loud city pubs.

    Popular with small groups of travellers/backpackers (4 - 5 people) and a great alternative to shouty beer barns.

  • Focused drinks-first gathering spot

    A dedicated beverage program prioritizes rum curation and festive cocktail serves accompanied by classic complimentary peanuts rather than dining distractions.

    Great cocktails, good selection and pretty good atmosphere. Good place for predrinks but problem is: no where near by to go afterwards. Usually does what bars supposed to do: give out free peanuts with drinks.

    They do great fish bowls which contain far more booze than you realise.
