Now, i'm biased because I love a tiki bar, but this place is a blast! Started my night with a zombie followed by a Singapore Sling and an order of the spam fries and a macaroni musubi. The staff was really nice and I ended up talking to them for a bit. The atmosphere is peak tiki, and the music selection was on point. It was a happy balance of contemporary songs and classic surf music. My only bummer is that they were sold out of mugs, and I couldn't add one to my collection. Guess I'll have to go back.
We went here because we were celebrating my son's 21 birthday. My husband really enjoys trying different rums, so this was a great place to go. We all ordered different special drinks, and every one we tried was unbelievable. They have a rum club that meets on Thursday nights, so that is a great opportunity for future visits. We didn't try any food as that is not why we were there.
Below street level you find a very cool hangout seems like they have different theme nights with a little DJ area two swinging chairs very cool atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re in a Hawaiian getaway with tiki inspired accessories everywhere.
Super fun spot! Drinks and food were all fantastic. Servers are super down to earth and very friendly. Atmosphere is perfect as well as the drink selections.
I love a tiki bar normally but this was an excellent visit. We sat at the bar and had the pleasure of sharing conversation with one of the regulars who recommended that I try a Last Word after I’d finished my House of Hibiscus. Excellent drinks, excellent people, excellent vibes all around.
May 3rd, 2025 Can’t get to the islands this summer? No worries, this lounge has you covered. The atmosphere is spot on Tiki with the most delicious unique drinks and dishes. Pop in for a drink or reserve a table for the night. Either way you won’t be disappointed. I honestly love this place! Bust out those Awesome Hawaiian shirts Great laid back vibe.
This is one of the most unique bars in Omaha in my opinion. I love stopping here when we are bar hopping. The decor is very cute! Plus all the drinks I have tried here have been delicious. I always suggest this bar when a friend from out of town visits. Be aware seating fills up quick on the weekend.
An absolutely great place to visit. The atmosphere is engaging and enjoyable. Super friendly staff that gives solid advice the various drink and offerings available. Laka Lono draws a fun and friendly crowd. Come down and enjoy a super unique club with lots of tasty offerings.
