Bartenders are absolutely wonderful (but the drinks can be pricey). [[HIGHLIGHT]]KJ Shan is also wonderful and there's a great, wide selection of songs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The tablets for entering your info and song run terribly slow. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bathrooms are clean and well-stocked, though not labeled well--women's restroom is straight down the hall, men's is to the right just after the photo booth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unless they're meant to be unisex, but I don't think that's the case? [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is PACKED wall to wall after 8pm Fridays and Saturdays, and I've never dropped in those nights where it wasn't an upbeat and pretty cheery vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I say packed, I mean that you should wear an outfit where you can take off layers, because it gets WARM.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] On the weekends the song queues can get LONG but you're able to manually check where you're at in line via the tablets. If you wanna leave before 12am, get there and put your song in no later than 8pm. Expect a $5 cover on weekends, too, though sometimes it's $10. Which is crazy. And yet, I still pay it... [[HIGHLIGHT]]People are super nice and if you aren't bringing a posse out with you, a lot of folks don't mind you sitting with them at their tables if it's busy and they have an extra seat open.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A lot of times people will get down by the stage and dance to songs people are performing, which is just the best when it happens.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]All in all, the Hula Hula crowd tends to have a great mindset for karaoke. All about having a good time to good music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Been here 3 times befire but yesterday was rhe first time i paid with my card. They charged my card over $136 and then charged my friends cards for our drinks that we already paid for. They take advantage of drunk customers! DO NOT GO read more

Walked in an pretty much knew right away this wasn't the tiki bar we had hoped. To be fair, it was karaoke night, and the people singing made it that much harder to enjoy. Not a true tiki vibe read more

Love this spot! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very well done with decor![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bartenders are very nice and mix up a wicked drink. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Much nicer than a dive bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] More of a local hang out to escape in. A great place to meet friends and catch up. I come here often and hope it stays! read more

Had a great time with my friends, but the karaoke host was kind of a dick. Who cares if you don't put two names for a song you want to sing with a friend? The technology is super slow and mildly difficult to navigate, and he refused to give my friend another mic for a song that another friend wanted to join on after she signed on. Instead of explaining anything like a human being he just pointed to the lengthy instructions on the machine. It's fucking karaoke, it's not that deep. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was really fun though and the cocktails were yummy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I contacted them to reserve tables for a party, but they double-booked the space. The waitress was great and she quickly found my party another spot. HOWEVER, all the reviews about the DJ/KJ are correct. I did one individual turn, then following my turn put in a request to do a song with my friends. I correctly inputted us as a group, but at the time of our turn was told I was not allowed to go up because I had already gone. Since my turn it had been about 2.5 hours, and other people had been able to have multiple turns to sing since I had been there, including from the party that they double-booked me with. I brought this up to management and was given a partial refund and coupon, however they clearly cosign this guy's horrible behavior. I will not be returning. There are plenty of other places in Seattle to do karaoke without being treated like that. Especially when I brought over 15 paying customers with me. Also - there was definitely someone over served. My friend had to point this out to the waitress after a girl, who was already falling asleep/swaying in her seat for a bit, looked like she was puking next to the table. read more

None of the food really appealed to me, but I'm also extremely picky in general, so my opinion shouldn't count lol. There's very friendly and helpful service, especially the bartender. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience seems like most people come here in groups and already know each other, and people don't applaud during karaoke as much as I'd like unless they came in a group[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

If you are looking for a place to sing karaoke and have a tiki drink this is it. The decor was really fun and the place is big so you can easily get seats. We didn't get any food, so I can't speak to that. For a drink I got the sailors mule which was not great. I think you have to go full tiki drink and accept the sugar or get a beer here. Seemed like a place we should have gone later in the night. Bartenders were friendly! read more

Came here because my guy loves it, and I should have known better about ordering a sweet drink, as they're not my preference. I was eager to try a tiki drink, though, and our really kind server picked up on that. They recommended a Mai Tai. They were so welcoming and friendly on a relatively quiet Wednesday night, and I did my best to act happy with my drink, but they sensed my disappointment and offered me a free drink. My guy happily took my mai tai and I ordered a vodka soda, into which I could tell they put good quality vodka :o) So I came away very happy and feeling cared for. I hope to come back on a more rambunctious night, as the atmosphere was still really fun and vibrant and I can definitely see why my guy enjoys it so much on the weekends. read more

Dragged out of town friends to this bar because I wanted to do Karaoke. It was a slow night and perfect for a first timer here. Super fun vibe and of course tiki drinks. Signing up to sing is easy and fun. Search by song and or artist. Make a choice and wait for your name to be called. Super fun bar if you want to be a rockstar, I mean pretend to be one. Lol. Good singer, bad singer, just have fun. YOLO and SYOY. read more

This is one of the best karaoke bars out there. If you want to go to a place, without thinking much and would definitely have fun, this is the place. Drinks are good. It's always crowded with decent crowd. Can spend here all night long. The vibe of the place is so lively because of the Karaoke and people dancing all around the place. It's a fun place.

Hula Hula - a disco scene with disco balls and palm trees - Karaoke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The DJ decides The playlist. Don't try to recommend songs. Even during karaoke. He feels like you're judging him.

Came here on Halloween night expecting a big crowd, had to pay a cover to get in which I wasn't a big fan of considering the wait to actually karaoke was extremely long. Drinks were fine, but the bar staff were the rudest people I have encountered in a long time. Friend and I got yelled at in the bathroom by a bartender because we were "taking too long in the stall." Again, Halloween so we needed a few extra moments to reassemble costumes after using the bathroom, however she decided to accuse us of doing drugs in the stall all because we took a few extra minutes after peeing to fix our clothing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Crowd was decent, but me and my friends left fairly quickly after seeing how long the karaoke wait was for the night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall wouldn't return, there are much better places to go to in Capitol Hill for a good drink, better ambience, and nicer staff. read more

Arrived here after having a horrible experience in white center and it was lit! There was someone checking ID at the entrance, as they should. Bartenders were friendly and did not yell at the top of their lungs for no reason. Love the drinks and the vibes. I appreciate the professionalism. read more

Came here with my friends for karaoke night and it was a night for the books. The place was so inviting and just so much fun! The drinks were amazing. After one too many shots I left my phone behind and I woke up to realize it was still at Hula Hula. When we called, the owner Owen helped me look for it and then kept it safe for me until I was able to come pick it up! Totally recommend if you're ever in the area (: read more

Hula Hula - Karaoke Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is such a funny little tiki karaoke bar. My friend and I came on a Monday night with no cover. The drinks are averagely priced here. The vibes inside are great, and though it wasn't packed on the Monday night, there was a good handful of people and a good audience for karaoke. If you're trying to sing, make sure to put your name on the list early, unless you're down to tip to make your name go higher. Like other karaoke bars I've been to, people also tip to cut the line here. read more

This was the second stop in our bachelorette bar crawl and my first ever karaoke bar. It might just be me but I was nottttt into the karaoke bar atmosphere!!! It was so dang loud and the awful singing hurt my ears so much. The constant stopping and starting of the music while the next group was coming up and getting started was annoying. We put our names on the queue pretty soon after we got there and the wait time to sing a song was RIDICULOUS. It was saying like 4 hours or something insane. And people were queued up after us too and they didn't even have wait times on there because it exceeded the count. Needless to say, we were not there for very long before we jumped to the next bar! Had way more fun singing along to songs in the limo to the next bar than standing their waiting for our turn at that one! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Good karaoke and crowd, fun vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bartender was nice! Drinks aren't great, but they're strong. Definitely avoid the food!! Had the fish and chips, not good. I don't think they've ever changed their fryer oil. It's kinda gross. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]First negative review of a bar, but what a shitshow! This place is wild (which is perfectly fine), but after a beer, I went to use the restroom and walked in on some frat guy pissing on his friend's leg.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I could tell because there were four of them in there (all wasted), and the guy getting pissed on was shouting, "Bro, Jake is literally pissing on my leg right now, what do I even do?" I work at a brewery, so I went to tell the bartender what was happening so he could address the situation properly. Telling a bartender about some bathroom piss party you just walked in on is awkward, so after I told him about it, I simply mentioned that I was an industry worker and that's why I wanted to let him know (didn't ask for anything, was simply trying to be relatable). This was met with him throwing his palm up in my direction like I should stop talking, which was pretty weird given that I was just trying to help him out. I really don't mind a no nonsense bartender, or even an unfriendly one. It's a hard job sometimes and I've definitely had my fair share of bad nights. This was just weird and I felt like I got treated like a part of the problem. The gals behind the bar were nice, but Karaoke guy was also super rude to a ton of people trying to navigate their weird ass sign up system. Great bar if you are 19-25 and want to pay premium prices for well liquor, and/or empty your bladder onto your friend's leg. read more

Service is great. Bartenders are friendly and fast. Been coming here on and off for 20 years. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Current karaoke Dj is overloaded and not good enough to run the rotation on what I'm told is a "slow" night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Signup is done via iPad which seems great but they are not intuitive and are prone to lock themselves.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sound system is good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you wanna sing, get there early and/or prepare to wait.

Wow. I intentionally seek out karaoke places wherever I travel for work and Hula Hula is in a class of its own. I took 5 colleagues to the bar and our server, Hannah, was so impressive, we brought 25 folks back the following night for an official corporate event. She was attentive, informative and entertaining. The food, drinks and karaoke was top notch. What are you waiting for? Go. read more

Lgbtq+ friendly tiki bar with great service and quality cocktails. We sat down and received actual table service which isn't common at most Bar Lounges but I assume since they served eats as well this isn't too uncommon (and always welcome). They serve food until midnight and have a solid happy hour with vegan and gluten-free options... Hula you're Hulaing your way into my heart. Tall tables, Tiki decor and tenacious tunes between karaoke sets. Sign up for Karaoke yourself... that's right it's self service as they have tablet like devices around the Karaoke Jockey booth just right of the main entrance. It takes a minute to figure out the system (though it's easy to use) and if anyone else has performed the song you wish previously... it will not go through... so check in with the KJ to make sure you're actually in as this happened to my best friend Ryan twice. Also make sure you're entering yourself as a new artist. You can't sign up for a second song until you've performed your first however if you arrive early you'll get to sing your heart out... the wait toward the later half of the night can be a long however social one. The banos/bathrooms are in the far back (left of the exit/main door/entrance) and are decent enough. The have some a fun photo booth that takes card or cash but is more than you'd expect. The drinks are a bit pricey so I suggest making your cocktail of choice a double... which they might also push a little now that I think of it... but I ain't even mad... I had never been to Hula Hula, but now can't wait to venture back for Seattle Shenanigans. read more

I'm sorry, I really wanted to love this place. I mean, karaoke 7 days a week, 365 days a year? Yes please! However, the system to actually input your name and then your song is God awful. If your main entertainment is karaoke, you'd think that you'd have that shit dialed in. The touchpad to create an account and then enter a song in is spotty, glitchy and the DJ has zero patience for anyone using the system. I've seen karaoke bars that use a paper system and a huge binder of songs 5x more efficiently than this shit show. We were there for 4 hours and each got one song in (out of 3 people). Yes, it was a Saturday but that is some high level karaoke mismanagement. Moreover my bill for 2 people was $160 with tip. Uhhhh, sorry, charging exorbitant prices for drinks at a bar who makes their name on karaoke is not in any way, shape, or form acceptable. The wait staff was nice, so they had that going for them. read more

My absolute favorite karaoke night spot!! I've been here several times, and I've never been disappointed. From the moment you enter, you feel the Hawaiian theme - but there's no requirement to pick tropical themed songs. I personally don't drink, so I can't comment on their beverages, but it's a great time even for sober folks. The vast song selection makes it easy to find something for everyone, and I love that they ensure that a song can only be sung once that night. This way, even if you aren't the one singing on stage, you get to enjoy a variety of songs and not just the same few repeatedly. The crowd is super relaxed and supportive, regardless of how well (or poorly, if you're like me) you sing. Plus, with the cheap cover charge, it's the perfect place to spend the entire evening. I absolutely adore this spot and can't wait to be back! read more

Hula Hula is a classic place to have some fun in Seattle. While mildly overpriced, the drinks are delicious and taste like vacation, and the food selection is really good as well as tasty. The crab rangoons are a must try and the totchos (or vegan totchos) are amazing! The service is consistently good here, and my only complaint is that they do karaoke 7 days a week (may not be a complaint for some) so it is never quiet or super chill there. A day a week or two designated to just the cool decor, music, and drinks would be a great consideration. I don't always want to listen to karaoke is all! read more

Came here on a Friday night for karaoke! They had virgin Pina coladas which I actually really enjoyed! We waited about 2 hours to sign our song but that's expected as it was pretty crowded. We also got the jalapeno poppers and it's fried so...can't complain. $5 cover on a Saturday around 8pm and I believe it bumoed up to $8 after 9pm. read more

This bar seems like a staple in the neighborhood. I visited with some coworkers and had a pretty good time. Bartenders are fast which I love and make a solid drink. Karaoke is performed and there is a gas station next door if you need to grab anything before stepping in. Cover was $5. Only con is it's pretty small so it can be tight in there trying to maneuver around. read more

You can literally see all the action from the windows looking in. We were across the street looking for a bar and Hula Hula set ALL the vibes for the remainder of our night. Amazing slushies that provides both fruity flavors and all the intoxication to give you the courage to go on stage. Cover charge on Saturday night was $6, which is really not bad for a place this poppin! Open mic karaoke is free, but you can always tip the DJ to bump up your song. They call each name for about ten seconds to see if that party is still there, and skip to the next person in line to get the music moving. Apparently they have a loooong line of singers! Not much parking at Capitol Hill and also very hard to catch Uber/Lyft in this area due to all the traffic. But very worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

The drinks and wait staff are good. Karaoke dude who was late, a jerk, and had a screwy system was enough to ruin a good time. We'll get our karaoke elsewhere, thanks. read more

I don't know why this isn't rated higher. We went for karaoke and had a GREAT time. Everyone was having so much fun. There was even a cute stage with cameras so people in the back could still watch (big place for downtown). The food was delicious, with great vegetarian options. Loved our cocktails. read more

A nice little tiki bar where you can sign up for karaoke. They have a large variety of songs that you can choose from. There is a little stage and if you choose a popular enough song there will be a small crowd right in front who will sing and dance with you. It's hilarious and such a great sight to see when the entire bar is singing along because everyone's just having a good time and embarrassing themselves one way or another. I ordered the classic Mai Tai ($11) which did not taste good. It was super sour and everyone at my table tried it and they all scrunched their faces as well. I had to power through to finish my drink and it was not pleasant. I'll make sure to try something else next time or get a well drink. A friend and I signed up to sing a song but there was such a long queue and we left before it was our turn. My friend lives close by so this is a place we'll be going to again and we will keep trying! read more

Tiki Bar. Karaoke. Friends. Fun. Need I say more? A super fun spot with the traditional karaoke where you get up on stage to sing. The whole bar sings with you, and it's generally a ton of fun. If you plan on singing, would arrive very early as the wait gets long fast. I was just there to support, and it was still SO. FUN. The drinks are really tasty -- both the cocktails and beers I got were great! They maybe run a tad on the pricier side but honestly it's a blast regardless. They check vax cards at the door, which made me feel a lot better about going in as well. read more

My friend and I are visiting from out of town this week and were told that this place was great. The drinks aren't really great, but the experience was okay until the DJ started taking the mic multiple times while other people were waiting for a chance to sing before the last song of the night. And this was after waiting for 2.5 hours!!! In my opinion, if it's known that the queue of people who want to sing is long and they've been waiting for a while already, then it would make sense for the DJ to refrain from singing long drawn out songs that have more of an instrumental break than actual song lyrics. It's rude. Especially when there's a cover to get in on certain days (like today!!!). I really think things could have been better if DJ KJ Gladys had been more considerate of the patrons who came to have a great time and left completely frustrated. read more
