Amazing spot with an even better atmosphere! Dennis knows how to make a meaaaan burger! Make sure you get one all the way, you won’t regret it. Diane, the guest bartender, was very friendly and an all around great person! Whether you’re looking for late night eat, drinks or playing some pool on the island, than this is the spot for you!

About Hulas Bar and grill

Hulas is a Surf City dive bar in the best possible way — cold beer, killer burgers, fresh fried flounder, and a staff that genuinely makes you feel at home. Our bartenders are the real stars here: guests from all over the country keep coming back for Lisa's pours, Dennis's burgers made just the way you want them, and a vibe you just can't fake. One family rolled in stressed, hungry, and camping with a stray cat — they left full, relaxed, and ready to come back. That's just a regular Tuesday here.\n\nPortions are generous, prices are fair, and nobody's going to raise an eyebrow if you walk in with kids in tow. Come as you are — we'll take care of you.
