Kona Club

A self-described rock n’ roll tiki bar, this next-generation island lounge in Oakland serves up carefully constructed, reimagined tropical classics to a punk rock soundtrack. Amidst the hula girls, Polynesian masks and puffer fish lanterns, TVs play Magnum PI on loop. Signature libations like the Macadamia Nut Chi Chi, a blend of vodka, macadamia nut liqueur, coconut and pineapple are a big improvement over the basic mai tai. The shareable scorpion bowl and kona cabana pack a big punch.
