L.A.'s oldest tiki bar still in operation. From the website, "Its relaxed environment is enhanced by the soft dim lighting and red candles throughout the bar, creating a cozy feel that lets the outside world slip away into a distant memory. In 2011 The Tonga Hut again saw an update with mid- century fireplace and more Tiki's."
