Hula's Modern Tiki - High Street - Phoenix
8 June 2021
A completely fine place overall, but felt like a T(iki) G. I. Fridays to me. A lot of WITCO style art, but the place is very bright and has more of a sports bar feel. Nobody there working or drinking at the bar seemed to care about Tiki bars or drinks. If you were really craving a tropical drink then it would be good, but any Tiki purist can skip without regrets.
I enjoyed the Jamaican jerk pork sandwich a lot.
The Hula's Mai Tai has pineapple juice and dark rum in it. It's advertised as not sweet, but it is. Not terrible tasting, but not a classic Mai Tai or really a Hawaiian style either. 7/10

In addition to this newest 2020 location on High Street, two other Hula's Modern locations are currently open in Arizona: a Scottsdale location opened in early 2014 and a location in uptown Phoenix where the first Hula's Modern re-located to in 2018.
