Perth's CBD is the world's most unlikely location for a tiki bar.

But Hula Bula Bar's shipwrecked creators have transformed an unassuming hole-in-the wall into a heaving Caribbean morass.

Hula Bula is a stroke of genius, complete with tropical island vista wallpaper, tribal masks, Hawaiian leis and sea-faring paraphernalia hanging from every nook and cranny.

House specialties come in large tiki mugs and the cocktail menu promises to "excite the hidden primitive within us all".

The creative team, with "Skipper" Josh Collins at the helm, is the very same crew responsible for Deville's Pad and it's clear these barflies know what it takes to make a watering hole both atmospheric and unique.
