"Originally opened in 1947, Royal Hawaiian is a historic tiki bar that recently underwent a full makeover by the people behind in Hollywood. The interior alone is like stepping into a tropical time-warp: pufferfish lamps, palm fronds, and more bamboo torches than an episode of Survivor . But even if you’re not someone who collects aloha shirts, the solid food and delicious tropical cocktails make this one of the most fun spots for a night out in Laguna. Kick things off with a pupu platter and a flaming Chief Lapu Lapu and see where the currents take you." - Garrett Snyder
