Hula’s Island Grill
622 Lighthouse Ave., Monterey
655-HULA, www.hulastiki.com
Tuesday is the happiest day at Hula’s, with a generous happy hour stretching from 2pm to close, making it one of the liveliest dining scenes on the Monterey Peninsula. The genuine service and warm atmosphere at this tiki bar/restaurant makes it easy to feel right at home, or on a brief island vacay. After a couple $6 HH cocktails like Dr. Funk or the One Eyed Pyrat, you will be ready for take-off. And if you want to go to the tropics then try Hula’s Mai Tai or the Lilikoi (passion fruit) Margarita. Great deals on beer, wine and appetizers like the coconut ceviche and poke-seaweed salad too.
