Hula's Island Grill - Santa Cruz

A California twist on an island classic, serving great food and cool cocktails, while creating a sense of community. ​ Hula’s Island Grill is a throwback to the popular tiki restaurants and bars of the ‘50’s & 60’s. The creation of the Delaney brothers, the original location in Monterey opened in 1998, followed by Hula’s Santa Cruz in 2006. Upon entering, you are greeted by the island décor, eclectic music, and a smiling staff. The vibe is California casual. The atmosphere is always happy. Come be surrounded by hipsters, oldsters, youngsters, and everyone in between.
