I would have never come here if it wasn't for the casual networking event I was attending. Getting straight to it, its not the best place for business chat. The sitting area is too dark and the music was much too loud and heavy. But as the night carried on, people started drinking and the karaoke started.This is when it got good. This place has a nice looking karaoke setup, much better than some of the cheap systems you find in some venues. The place was not overly crowded, and met a handful of other interesting people outside of our group. Not my usual type of place, but i might go back time to time for a drink. read more

Hula Hula - Karaoke - Karaoke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Just happened to walk into this spot and man did it deliver. Loved that it was open karaoke to the entire bad. Everyone was singing along and the bartenders were hooking it up and making strong drinks. Such a good spot to stop at. read more

What a crazy tiki bar! Fun karaoke on Saturday nights! I recommend trying their "Scorpion". :-D read more

GREAT set up for karaoke. Bar is set up in different levels, with the bar sitting above the seating below. Whomever is preforming on karaoke stands on a stage so it's easy for people to see them. Monitor shows the names of upcoming singers, so you don't have to try to listen for your name over the sounds in the bar. Decent song book with a good selection of new and classic music. I recommend Hula Hula if you like karaoke. read more

With no direct entrance of its own that I could find, Hula Hula is tucked into another restaurant. The two are clearly different, but you just need to plow through the more traditional space to make it into the bar with masks and island merchandise all over. Hula Hula proudly proclaims "Karaoke 365 Days a Year!" Christmas? Valentine's Day? Arbor Day? Your birthday? Absolutely! Leap day? I don't know, didn't ask. But there is a nice-sized stage that starts up at 9 p.m. with some pretty decent singers. The drinks are standard tiki bar fare and Kia (hope I'm spelling that right) was a total pro at mixing them. The souvenir tiki mugs aren't anything specific to the bar, but there is a nice assortment of generally available glassware. You also have your choice of beer, cocktails and such, but you can't get a Mai Tai just anywhere, so step it up! read more

I used to love coming here in the early 90s when it was called the Romper Room. And now it's a lounge/karaoke/restaurant. They claim to be Hawaiian but there's not much Hawaiian food on the menu. The atmosphere is fun. The people are somewhat rowdy, in a good way. The karaoke dude is nice and clean, and he doesn't sing every other song, which is nice. It's a great place to get a drink and sing karaoke with your friends. read more

I recently celebrated my birthday at Hula Hula. I had a large group of people coming and they had an entire section reserved for all my guests. The staff here was so accommodating to my group. Our server was so sweet and patient with all of us! This was my first time here at Hula Hula and it was SO MUCH FUN! I cant believe I had never been here prior to this weekend. The Karaoke was a blast. Not only do you have your own stage, but when its busy you have your own crowd singing right along with you. The drinks here are delicious!! I recommend the Sailor Mule and the Nani Nani. The decor is quintessential tiki bar themed and exactly what you need on a rainy Seattle day. I cant wait to grab my friends and come back to Hula Hula. Huge thanks to the crew for giving me a great birthday! read more

When you walk in you will quickly notice the dimly lit atmosphere and beautiful flowers hanging from the tiki decor and ceiling. This beach like setting features delicious classic and original tiki drinks that are served in a variety of ceramic glassware and awsome garnishes. The food menu is packed full of delicious sliders, wings and healthy options such as chick pea salad. Karaoke lights up the atmosphere at 9 and you watch the bar transform as a light fog rolls through the bar and lights up the place with bright colors and fun songs to sing along to. I recomend this place for birthdays, anniversaries and meeting new people. The staff is friendly and so is the clientele. This bar is welcoming to all folx. This is an energy you can not find anywhere else in this city. read more

It's a good karaoke bar but it's a bit expensive. Expect spend a lot to get drunk unless you do cheap shots. Every since they got rid of one of the bartenders the drinks have been weak. Also a cover fee after 7.. read more

Awesome bar with fun decor. Heavily tiki themed. They have karaoke 365 days per year, which is awesome, with lots of fun lights and a smoke machine and stuff. Only downside was the bathrooms weren't very clean read more

I was really impressed with some of the karaoke singers here they were really good, but then you had my group come in. (there always has to be some terrible karaoke singers too right? right?) This is your total dive bar too dark and sticky with a $10 credit card minimum. The bartenders were nice and struck up a conversation with you while they got your drink (although it was a Monday and not very many people were there, I'm sure on the weekends they would be too busy to talk.) The bathrooms were fun to figure out had to look at each picture carefully before deciding which must be the girls room. Might get fun the more drinks you have! read more

We got there about 8pm on a Saturday night. Half of the seating was reserved already but we snagged a table and ordered food and drinks. Our waitress was great until about 9:20 when it started getting very busy. The drinks were good but expensive, look to pay about $12 for one of their special cocktails. The food we ordered was good. Burger and the loaded tots, we ordered 2 orders of the tots and only received 1 order which was disappointing. She also put it on our bill, we couldn't find her for 15 mins after she brought our check... $13 wasted for food I never got. Decor is nice. Crowd was large when we left and I don't like how you can't see the karaoke unless you are close to the stage. read more

There are very few things that I remember about this bar, only that I had one of the best times I've ever had while I was here. Hula Hula was the last spot on our Seattle bar-hopping tour, so naturally this spot is a tad more blurry than the rest of the night. I do want to touch on what I DO remember: + Impeccable service. The bartenders on shift were ah-mazing. Friendly, cracking jokes, and pouring those 10-second shots (dangerous!). + Tropical vibes. I'm all about tiki bars. I really should move to Hawaii. There's something about going to a tiki bar though on a rainy evening and just feeling like you got transported to an island. That's how I felt when I walked into Hula Hula. Honestly, that's all I remember, BUT I do know they serve food and have very tasty tropical drinks, if that's your thing. Maybe next time I visit Seattle I won't make it the last stop, so I can appreciate how awesome this spot is. PS: If you look really closely at the bar ceiling, you can find a $5 Canadian bill with my name on it. Good luck! read more

The DJ they had on tonight was rude to every guest that went up. I would recommend listening to the Dj's remarks while on the mic before going up, because some are just straight disrespectful. Just push play and keep your opinions to yourself it's a business act as one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I love tiki bars, but Hula Hula lacks a single redeeming quality. Located in the thick of the hectic, young Capitol Hill neighborhood, this is no more than a karaoke dive bar serving poorly made, low grade renditions of classic tiki drinks. The interior is spacious and dimly lit, with a large amount of table and bar seating. A small stage is set for karaoke or live music performances. Decor is slapped together and inauthentic, resembling the 99 Cent Store party section. The cocktail menu includes a variety of classic tiki drinks as well as new renditions, plus multi-person drinks like punch bowls. I got the Classic Mai Tai ($12), which was terrible. It tasted like sour mix and orange soda mixed with light well rum. My boyfriend's Painkiller ($11) was even worse. Artificial coconut, soda water, and Sailor Jerry spiced rum created a truly disgusting cocktail that was undrinkable. Pro tip: do not trust a 'tiki bar' that uses cheap spiced rums in their cocktails. The bartenders did not notice that we could not finish even half of our cocktails, as they were busy having a loud personal conversation. Nice guys, but it was pretty apparent that they had been skiing all afternoon, if you know what I mean. read more

Really cute place. We showed up right when it opened, so it wasn't busy and the bartender was super nice and attentive. The different Mai Tais were delish. I'd come back. read more

Hula Hula - Karaoke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Such a great place for karaoke and tiki drinks! Come in and get a volcano bowl!! The staff are friendly and the food is great!

Go for the delicious drinks, stay for the wild and sometimes hilariously funny karaoke, but don't order any food. The food offerings sounded appealing, but were absolutely dreadful when consumed. Maybe they'd be better under intoxication? read more

service has gone down hill karaoke is okay but food service and drink service is mid

Amazing and friendly customer service, super fun karaoke, yummy drinks.m, and delicious food. What could be better? I ended up having too much fun and left my wallet there by mistake. Our lovely server tracked us down on social media and let me know they had it and the manager let me come in an hour before opening the next day to pick it up! Incredible service and an excellent location. It made our Seattle vacation extra special! Thanks, hula hula! We will be back. :) read more

They bouncer here sucks, me and my friends frequent the this bar for good time on Friday and Saturday night. We often bring a crowd along with us to enjoy the drinks at hula hula. Whoever the bouncer was on Saturday 10/22 sucked he initiated a fight between one of the member in my group shoving him had to the wall and asking him to "swing at me" because he accused him of "blowing smoke up his ass" not sure what that meant but it lead to a further altercation between him and several members of our group. He was he's you intoxicated and I would hope that this altercation would never have happened read more

Awesome amazing karaoke however the booze prices are insane. I wish they had good oj for their drinks. At 10 dollars for a tropical tea they should be able to swing 2 ounces of oj not out of squirt gun. Bartender said it's expensive. Service was simply ok. Amazing karaoke setup!!!!! read more

I had to try the new location now that Hula Hula moved up to the hill! And I'm happy to report the drinks are still strong and the bigger space is lovely. The karaoke stage is quite the production, complete with flashing lights, disco ball and fog machine. The computer-based sign in screen for karaoke is a little confusing to figure out at first (and I was sober!), but the dj will help you if you get stuck. And with karaoke every night at 9 pm, this place may become a new favorite spot to sing my guilty pleasures. Only cons: not enough waiters and there are some creepy flamingos staring down at you in the ladies' restroom. read more

Service was really bad. Came on thanksgiving day and at 6pm (they opened at 4pm), thanksgiving menus was not available due to them not properly planning. The two servers on staff really didn't wanna be there and it was very evident. I'm sure karaoke is great here (by the reviews), but don't come for dinner, or at all. read more

what they lack in hoops they make up for in straw-behatted tables and gud vibes i have been to the old hula and this building is shaped less like my younger sisters gym auditorium and more like the state of indiana, but unlike indiana my grandfather isnt here to lecture me about whatever a hoosier is, so thats a definite plus the windows are also cloaked in the flavour of tropic trees which creates a pleasing allure you can see from as far as near city market drinks were readily available for a man of age and came in fun flavors like "savory farmers tan" and "pinapple, this one's raunchy". i opted for the old standard - a 'wet parrot' - which i was surprised to learn comes with a live bird who spits into your mouth like the nature movies i did not sample the food but was stunned to find ketchup at nearly every turn & even in places youd least expect (like 100% of tables or behind a speaker) i was distressed to find no wilco on the songbox and pondered if men can be fully formed without jeff tweedy's say so. i quickly forgot that probelm as i watched a twiggish white man struggle to not say the n word (soft r) during the durattion of goldogger by kante west big plus: if you leave your wallit at the table while rockin out too hard to Bruce, the barkeeps will swaddle it like their own child and raise it until you return like a reverse prodigal son (and infinitely better than a bible story) read more

Hula Hula - a love supreme was written about my time here - Karaoke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

K-A-R-A-O-K-E! I didn't have the food- the tables were a bit small to balance book and food and drinks, and well, PRl0RlTlES! GREAT book- really, sooo much stuff. If I understand correctly, we had the non-usual host, and from the warning label/instructions on how to participate in the front of the book, this was a good thing. Look, I understand that people (not me of course) get drunk, rowdy, uncontrollable and maybe a tiny bit of a mic hog (okay maybe sometimes that would describe me to a T) and are up there every song doing 'unscheduled duets' but if you dance on stage, that's your turn? That seems pretty unfair to me, mister. Still, I digress- we had a lovely (very) waitress/bartender who made me some killer (WOW!) drinks and was so friendly and great that it was worth coming back for her service alone. They handled our crowd of 10+ without any hassle and we all had a great time. read more

This is not your regular old karaoke bar. It seems to be the chosen congregational spot to people who take singing karaoke seriously. VERY seriously. Which, by their voices alone, can be kind of intimidating. But it's always been a pretty fun crowd, with a sense of humor and a welcoming attitude to the 'not serious' karaokers amongst us. It is really a cheesy theme, though. It's cute. And fun. But god, so cheesy. The one drink they have, some big thing in a bowl that is served while on fire is...interesting. And 90% alcohol. With very short straws. So, ..maybe blow out the flames before you try and drink it. Just sayin' The food isn't that bad. The song selection is really, really good. They play nice little videos behind you as you sing, and there are some soft core porn vids in there. Seriously. It's one nipple or tip away from being full on. A nice touch, and can certainly enhance your entertainment value. read more

How have I lived in Seattle for a year and not been here yet!! Hula hula is probably going to be one of my top bars if you want to go out for karaoke and fun crowds. I was there last night with a small group after going to a couple bars prior. Walking in to a tiki-themed bar that was full of people and karaoke was the best case scenario. The service was great, despite how chaotic it was. Everyone in the bar was clearly having a blast! I can't wait to go back! read more

"Bang Bang." "You betcha." "Maverick." "Hockey mom." "Soccer Mom." OH, it counts! "Lipstick...pitbull." "DRINK UP!" American colloquialism at its best! You guessed it! We came here to watch the VP debate and got plastered in the first 30 min! Just too easy. We got here just on time for Happy Hour (3-6pm). 13.75 for a pitcher and 3.00 for a pint. The place was packed and on the news that night. We didn't order food, but I'm sure the service was fine. There was one waiter for the whole lounge room, poor guy, but he was hustling to get every one fed and drunk. There's tons of parking adjecent to the building and street parking a block away. read more

When I first heard about this place, I was expecting it to have island vibes.... I was completely wrong. Lol nothing wrong with that though, just a bit surprised once I walked in. Karaoke wasn't really what I had in mind once we arrived, but I still had a fun time! I was reading some of the reviews here about the bartenders not being so friendly, but our bartender was amazing! He was very sweet, and had an outgoing personality. Too bad I don't remember his name. read more

"Uh, now let's get it all in perspective For all y'all enjoyment, a song y'all can step wit' Y'all appointed me to bring rap justice But I ain't five-O, y'all know it's Nas yo..." That one goes out to the illest KJ, eva: the Tim Burton-looking mafucka bringing some surrious karaoke justice. Never knew karaoke could be like this. Elevated stage, lights, closed circuit tv, bubble machine, spliced-in soft porn scenes? And best of all, free? As a first time visitor to Seattle but long-time karaoke vet, this revelation was the exact moment in which I fell in love with Emerald City. Having partaken on at least five separate occasions, Hula always left me with my dignity intact, a smile on my face, and money in my pocket. Your fellow masochists embrace you here, good or bad, and it helps to create a comfortable, only slightly judgmental environment. (Bohemian Rhapsody again? Way to dig deep.) All this AND within walking distance to Dick's for a late-night grease fix? Yuss! Shoutouts to the bartenders who took care of me, "Stephanie" and "Sergio"? I'm terrible with names. Thanks for the fellow New York love and bar hospitality. And good luck to the new barback on the block as well as local karaoke legend, Bubba. I mean, how many karaoke bars can claim a regular named Bubba? Hula Hula: Queen[Anne]'s finest. ...Made you look. read more

There was a mixture of things going on here. While I like themed bars, and the drinks off the menu were surprisingly good, this place still feel flat for me. We had a medium sized group, yet throughout the night the waitresses kept bringing us the wrong drinks or stuff we never ordered. The crowd is a mix of annoying semi drunk people and after the first hour I was ready to bust out home. Call me a prude here, but I also wasn't a fan of random porn coming on the back screen while people were singing? I don't get the purpose of this at all other than being offensive and tacky. read more

I don't get why people don't like this place as much as I do. Maybe we caught them on a good night. Maybe it does have something to do with the company you keep, but other patrons and the lone staffer (save the cook, hidden in the kitchen) were friendly. We head a special martini mixed up for us, got some nachos that were great and lots of great karaoke. There is some real talent that, apparently, frequents this place. It is a bit overly kitschy, and they have packed any and all things stereotypically Hawaii into this space. The bar is divided into a few different sections, which is great. If you don't want to deal with karaoke, you don't really have to, just head up to the back of the bar. Our bartender, J.R. was cute as heck and sweet and helpful. We felt more than comfortable high-fiving other patrons as they left the karaoke stage, and some great tunes were chosen. I'll be back. p.s. people playing Rockband last night, you guys sucked! read more

This place ain't no Baranof, that's for sure. And by that I mean, the karaoke-ers (ists? ites?) can actually sing. I was almost glad that my name didn't get called. Sure, I can belt out Love Shack with the best of 'em, but it was a little intimidating when most of the time I could have sworn that I was listening to the actual artist and not a sing-along. It's also unlike the Baranof in that the drinks aren't overly strong and will cost you more than $3. read more

I was thinking I wanted to create a karaoke list for Seattle so I looked up my old hangout, Hula Hula. I was surprised to see it only had 3 stars! Nuts.. After reading a lot of the bad reviews for this place, I found that the top complaints were about the food and drinks being too expensive, and the drinks being weak. Since I don't drink and only ordered nachos when I went there (and you can't really screw up nachos), I really have nothing to complain about! I used to come here all the time when I lived in Belltown. It was the only bar I found within walking distance where I could do karaoke and feel like I actually lived in a neighborhood! I met all the regulars who were very friendly and sang my heart out. They have a great selection of songs and a great sound system. It was refreshing to find a bar that did not have a meat market vibe at all. I felt totally safe coming here alone to drink shirley temples and sing the night away! read more

Well well well tell me more tell me more............ My first Karaoke experience was amazing. They have such an incredible atmosphere a real stage, with a karaoke DJ (KDJ), foam machine, fog machine and everyone sounds incredible. It is sure to bring out the rock star in anyone. Not to mention you have actual music videos appearing behind the stage. There is a great sound system. I think I could be a regular The bartender was nice. She was running multiple tabs, never had to repeat my name to her either. The scene is Polynesian with a bit of tiki time, fun to be in a place like this on a cold winter night, might make you bust out into song and if you did feel that urge.........You are in just the right place for it. I wonder if this is how Brittany got her start? Just kidding. The food choices were not bad but we were there to sing and singing is what we did. We sang songs like the "Piano Man". Great place "to do a little dance", ok I will stop now but it just goes to show how many different songs are available. They even have little slips not scraps of paper for you to fill out the titles with. read more

A tiki bar that has the setting and look of a tiki bar, offers karaoke (sign me up) and has about 10 beers on draft (all between $4-$6) and knows how to make A1 drinks. I think it's a toss up between them and lava lounge for who makes the best drinks but this place is the true definition of a tiki bar and best one I've been to yet. read more

So this place is a tiki bar with karaoke... I'm not sure what more you could ask for out of life! I had a damn decent mai tai (and a few too many by the end of the night) with a group of yelpers who were definitely enjoying the frivolity of it all! I sang twice, I need to remember to only sing once on nights I drink that much. And I thought the lineup for singing wasn't that terrible since I got two rounds in. The stage is great for karaoke to really show off your moves... I went home with dollar bills in my bra, not sure how that happened exactly. Anyways, I had a lot of fun here but I will say one thing... these bartenders need to be better at cut offs. There were some really drunk people there, way to drunk to drive who were still getting served booze... I was one of htem by the end of the night (thank you for your patience Ian M., I owe you one)... So if you plan on letting it go and letting the bartender babysit you this is not the place to go... but if you want to track yourself (and not end up like me throwing up in the bathroom at the end of the night) I highly recomend this place! read more

Hula Hula is for sure a serious karaoke bar! Karaoke begins at 9pm every night, and really starts to heat up by 10. Whether you sing or not, the entertainment value of the decor and karaoke is worth a visit. LCD screens are located throughout the space just in case you aren't able to sit close enough to the action. Patrons perform everything from Rammstein (lyrics all in German, of course) to Backstreet Boys. I have heard some truly incredible professional singers here, and would say that even the average singer is well above just decent. It's located in a quiet neighborhood on the outskirts of Lower Queen Anne and is attached to Tini Biggs. Outdoor patio to get some fresh air and a smoke and never any door covers. This is usually the first place I take out-of-town visitors to start off or end the night. Weekends definitely get a little more rowdy - I would recommend checking it out at least once on a weeknight as better (more sober?) singers do tend to show up more on the quieter nights. read more

Hula Hula - Tiki Sangria - Karaoke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

28 years of my life without karaoke just didn't seem right. So I shipped out to Korea to train in their legendary singing rooms while I "taught" English during the day. I butchered great songs and poured way too much Hite down my throat to ease battered vocal chords, and pretty soon my year was up and I was ready to take on American karaoke bars. Korea taught me that "Sexyback" is no easy task to sing and dance to, and there's really no reason for a man to sing Christina Aguilera. And so I was thoroughly pleased that my first "official" karaoke experience was at Hula Hula. They have a crazy extensive songbook (a page and a half of George Strait tunes might be a little much), but on the right night, you can essentially sing as much as you damn well want to (Tuesdays!). Aside from a forgetful waitress, the wait staff's cool and the DJ looks like 1990s Weird Al. Weekends are a far different crowd (and much larger) -- lots of collared shirt/hair gel types -- not necessarily my thing, but decent for people watching/gawking. Though I miss the days where you could sleep on a couch until its your turn to sing in Korea, karaoke at Hula Hula packs the randomness and silliness punch that ruining songs should. read more
