Pretty cool spot. The drinks were strong but also tasty, especially this seasonal drink, the tundra something or other. It's very dark inside but have a bunch of pretty lights and every 10 minutes or so a different light show goes on that is tied to some weather event (rain, volcano, etc.). The staff were nice and very attentive. Glad I got to check it out while in town. read more

This a fun tiki bar with a solid happy hour menu. The inside is quite large and open with fully immersive tropical decor. I loved the music, the dim lights, and the occasional "tropical thunderstorm" that would go off. Our server was friendly and checked in often. Focusing on the happy hour dishes, I tried the fried tofu, spam musubi, kalua pork, and hurricane fries. The tofu had an amazing panko breading and the fries came with addicting dipping sauces. The Mac salad, pork, and musubi were ok but could have used more sauce and/or a flavor punch. I do wish there were more fresh happy hour options as everything was fried/greasy. The mocktails stood out as they were nicely balanced and not too sweet. read more

Food is amazing. Drinks can be strong but amazing. Their onion rings on the seasonal menu is some of the best onion rings I have had at any restaurant, Loved the LED lighting going off as drinks are made along with the presentation. The server kept checking on us to make sure we were taken care of. read more

I met some friends here for a bday party. Totally island theme, and it looks and feels it very much, the place sounds like a rainforest sometimes it's cool. The food was solid & so were the drinks , a few of the drinks have fire! There is enough room for a groups to sit inside or outside. I'll definitely be back. read more

The food is bland with small portions. $32 For the Pu Pu plater is ridiculous the platter should be $20 at most. The Mahi Mahi Bland Tacos were disappointing, the taco shells were not cooked at all its like they took them right out of the bag. The service is okish. The ambiance is really dark hard to see. The decorations are cool, but we won't come back. read more

What a disappointment. While the atmosphere was interesting, it was not top notch for a tiki bar. The tiki drinks were weak and the lapu lapu tasted overly strong lemonade. For the cost of our drinks it wasn't worth the visit. Our waitress was very nice and accommodating. The tsunami fries were ok but nothing to write home about. Sorry but not sort about my review. read more

This place is a hidden gem! It feels like a tropical escape with cozy lighting, indoor/outdoor seating, and even a volcano monitor--super fun vibe. I got the grilled bok choy and BBQ wings, but they were a bit dry and bland. The drink was fruity and tasty though! My friend ordered the Kalua pork entree with mac and cheese and she loved it. The Mac and cheese was pretty good! The service was slow but nice staffs, had to raise our hands often. I'd come back for the atmosphere and try something else on the menu! read more

Visiting from out of town and got food from Wahi Hana to go. Unfortunately, they don't do online or call in orders and my husband had to go up there to place the order. They told him the wait would be 20 minutes but he ended up waiting a little under an hour. The food had good potential but seemed to be missing a sauce, specifically on the pork. They also messed up our sides but we didn't realize until we got home. The vibe in there is cool and seemed like a good ambiance. There was barely anyone in there. read more

This is such a fun bar! I don't want to give too much away, but the ambience is amazing. The drinks are delicious. Don't miss the bananas Foster. The bartenders are friendly and obviously love what they're doing. You're in for a fun and unique visit! read more

I came in late on a Sunday afternoon/early on a Sunday evening and discovered myself in a tropical paradise. I almost never fall in love with a bar or restaurant on my first visit, I admit that I am at least enraptured. You step in the door and need to stop at the hostess station for seating, even at the bar. It is dark, so you pause and take in the tiki decor. There is a video, complete with sound effects. (You might jump when the thunderstorm hits -- I did!) The menu is Hawaiian-influenced, and although I only had two appetizers, the spam musubi and the wings (try the dry rub!), I intend to sample entrees like the kailua pork on future visits. Finally, my bartender, Madi, was a delight, combining friendly and excellent service with mixology flair. She definitely helped make this an over-the-top experience, and is one reason I will be coming back to Wahi Hana. read more

Wow! What a magical place for cocktails and food. Let's just say all my drinks were awesome. I tried the Jet pilot and Test pilot. These drinks were flammable. Had to. I love that flame. Of course, this brings all attention to your table. (not mad) lol Next food we tried wings they were good. Server was so attentive and sweet. Catching up with my bestie was a perfect start to our Saturday night! I cant wait to try 10 more of the 39 different cocktails they have on the menu!!!!! read more

Wahi Hana - Bestie w/ her Pina Coloda! - Tiki Bars Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

The ambience was my favorite part of the evening. You forget that you're in downtown Vancouver, Washington. You feel transported to another place. In the tropics. The food is okay. I've had better Pacific Islander food. The best part was the mac salad. The drinks are delicious, but pricey. More expensive than the drinks in Hawaii. And I'm originally from Hawaii. I read the reviews of the food, and that's why I ordered the sliders and chicken wings. I was disappointed that the Dole pineapple soft serve ice cream was not available, because the machine was broken. If you haven't been here, you should try it. The BEST part was the service. Excellent wait staff! read more

Needed some lunch and this was around the corner from the comic book store we were checking out. Very surprised how amazing of an experience we had. Loved everything we ordered: West Indian Punch, Kane cocktail, and happy hour food of Kaluha pork and coconut shrimp. The staff were really nice and accommodating and the ambiance was a hoot. Super fun environment and we will definitely be back. read more

This place is SO FUN! We were staying in town about 5 blocks away so we decided to walk here one night on a whim. The exterior doesn't offer much to catch your eye and at first it kind of felt like you were walking into some secret club. We were seated right away at 8:30 on a Saturday night. Our server was very outgoing and friendly and did a great job explaining and recommending drinks. The only food we got was an order of fries but we loved them. They cut them very thin and they were the perfect mix of crispy and still soft in the middle. Both of us liked our cocktails but the star of the show for me was the Dole Whip float with rum! I would've gladly had two of those in place of a cocktail. Yes, the prices here are a little high but we expected that going into it. You're paying for an experience here, not just food and drink. It was really fun for us to get out without the kids and feel like we were dining on a cruise ship. I would for sure visit this place again! read more

Really good drinks staff is always on it and making comfortable vibe and food is mmmm yummy! Thank you all for such great times and memories

Ambiance was great. Food- not so much. We were happy to hang with our friends and have great drinks but I would never pay for dinner there again. Could barely find the fish in the fish tacos, the coconut shrimp were hard and the shrimp were so tiny. No side dish for sliders? Strange. Just not worth it. Sorry. Hopefully food improves They were very late with food and offered a free dessert. The waitress was very nice too. So there's that. read more

Holy coconuts! I wanted to Tropic Like it's Hot in there. Wahi Hana opened in December of 2022 and I'm so upset I'm just finding it now! We sat at the bar on a Friday night The bartenders and staff were super friendly - and the drinks are magnificent. Strong Dole whip drinks - they even have the shaved ice. You can smell the smacked mint from your seat. Beautifully crafted cocktails! We ordered the Lumpia, St. Patrick's Day Cornbeef, and Tofo Katsu! My husband is Filipino and we love lumpia! Lumpia was good and a nice complement in the sauce! Cornbeef meal was delicious as well. I loved the Katsu sauce but wish there was a little more of it. & would have loved a side of mac. We ended with the Pinapple Upside Down Cake - and it was perfectly sweet and well made. The ambiance is everything! You feel like you are on vacation in there - and I want to be there every Friday night now. They even have a thunderstorm and flickering lights every so often. Such a great time - will be back very soon! read more

Wahi Hana - Pineapple Upside Down Cake - Tiki Bars Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

For bar food, this is tropical island themed. The happy hour wings tasted really good and were flavorful and cooked just right. Recommend the habanero pineapple wings if you enjoy spicy heat; the dry rub wings were just as tasty. Service was great. The ambience was done really well too. The bar had three monitors that look like island scenes. The one behind the bar shows a volcano. The ceiling one had a view looking up through palm trees at the day or starry night sky. The monitor in the seating area is of a beach front with palm trees. The tiki bar weather cycles from sunny day at the beach, foggy, rain storm, and volcano eruption. There is background sound that matches each of the major weather events (rain storm & volcano). read more

Despite being wedged into the corner of basically a strip mall, the folks behind Wahi Hana have really done wonders with this place. From the faux-grass and bamboo facade out front, to the immediately arresting lighting and color scheme within, you are instantly transported away from the (admittedly improving) drudgery of downtown Vancouver into a proxy Polynesian paradise! Although Wahi Hana has been on my list for some time, it was some friends of ours that suggested coming here this past weekend, for drinks and dinner. I booked the table a week in advance. Reservations are recommended, folks. You could probably score a walk-in on occasion, but I wouldn't risk it, especially during peak times. The drink menu is larger than the food menu, with several classic tiki bar standards, as well as a few more adventurous ones. The menu doesn't specify this, the little torch icons next to each cocktail indicate its relative alcoholic potency. All around, we ordered the Missionary's Downfall, the Zombie, the Test Pilot, a Royal Hawaiian, and a Kanaloa. Each of the drinks was fantastic in its own way, but I did note that at least one of the cocktails was so loaded with ice, there was hardly anything in it: a pretty weak pour for a $15+ beverage. Two orders of Mahi Mahi tacos, some spam musubi, and Kalua pork graced our table shortly thereafter. Flavor-wise, everything was enjoyable, although each dish had one flaw or another that seemed easily addressed: the tacos were too dry (not enough salt), the musubi too salty (too much seasoning), the Kalua pork a little cold, the Hawaiian mac a little bland. Still good, just...not great. There's room for improvement here. Throughout the course of our experience, our server was fantastic, although by the end, we all got the feeling that we should probably vacate our table sooner than later, as we were likely holding things up. And there's only so many volcanic eruptions (possibly triggered by the ordering of certain flaming cocktails?) you can bear interrupting your conversation before it's time to evacuate the island. All of us really enjoyed our time at Wahi Hana, despite a few minor nitpicks. Be warned though: a night out here is an expensive endeavor, as even a couple of drinks and an entrée per person will set you back over $100, easily, not counting gratuity. Your patronage here may appease Pele and the Polynesian gods, at the cost of sacrificing the contents of your wallet into the flaming heart of the volcano. read more

This tiki bar is awesome! There is occasional thunderstorms to go with their tropical drinks also the food is really good. Their house fries are more the consistency of JoJo's thinly sliced which I like. The staff is so kind and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this place. read more

We went to Wahi Hana last night on a pub crawl. The organizers of said pub crawl called each location to notify/ ask permission for our large group to come. Despite this, they staffed 2 people. Our waitress bumped into someone and dropped her tray of drinks, blamed it on the customer, rolled her eyes and loudly said it was going to be awhile before our drinks came out again. Drinks finally arrived and tasted foul. Those who ordered food waited 30+ minutes to be served cold dishes. I understand we were a large group, however if the establishment agreed to it, we should have had a better experience. My husband and I won't be back. read more

Okay. The atmosphere is great. It's fun and they put a lot of effort into it. But let's get down to the food. We ordered 4 things to share Coconut Praws - honestly. 1 star. From a box. The same ones you get everywhere else. Spam musubi - id give this 3 stars. I'd give it higher ratings but it was cold. Spam fried rice - it was pretty mushy. Flavor wasn't bad but presentation was also fairly poor. Kalua Pork - The meat was pretty tough and the rice was cold, as were the veggies on the plate. read more

This place really makes me want to visit Hawaii! They have a Hawaiian themed menu, with wonderful drinks to try, and amazing food! They have a video thing that plays in the background as if we are actually in Hawaii. They show the beaches, weather, and a volcano erupting on a screen that they have! The staff are phenomenal. One if the waitresses came and checked in on my table before leaving for break, making sure we were okay. She brought me another drink before even going on break! It also seemed like the staff are all willing to work together! Beautiful decorations. I love dining here! I have only been here twice, and I always miss it when I am away. This is also conveniently close to downtown Vancouver, making it easy to find other things to do after a night out! I personally love going to the Vancouver Waterfront for the views, and for a lovely walk! read more

This is an absolute diamond in the middle of the city - a completely unexpected find! The restaurant is in the back corner of a parking lot, in the crook of an "L" formed by what appears to be a two-story office building and another non-descript building. You walk in through a courtyard, and that is where you begin your transport to the islands. The ground is lined with astroturf, walled with bamboo, and you then walk in through a door into a dimly lit lobby area. The restaurant is very dimly lit - so much so that each table has a small LED lamp on it so you can see the menu and your food, but this contributes to the whole vibe of the place. There are no windows. Instead, they have TV screens in various places and on the ceiling, showing images of the islands. The "weather" will periodically change, from tropical rain storm to sunshine, thunder and lightning, even a volcanic eruption at one point! This is all timed to sounds, music and the lighting in the place. The center of the restaurant is dominated by a large wraparound bar, with booths and tables surrounding. The menu is about 8 pages, with the first two pages dedicated to food and the others dedicated to island-inspired cocktails. They do have a few options for beers, one was a Kona Longboard Lager (which I had and was perfect for a boiling hot day) and the other was another Kona that tasted like grapefruit (my step dad had that one). I was excited to see spam musubi on the menu, but I ended up getting the sliders (two spam, one beef). They were super delicious, and I wish I'd gotten all three spam! My mom ordered the mahi mahi and said she can't wait to go back. Service was quick. We arrived around 2pm on a very hot Saturday when there was a car show in the area, and the restaurant was mostly empty (or maybe it just felt that way because of how dark it was). read more

Tried Wahi Hana for the first time this past weekend and were very glad that we did.

Cool vibe... I like the special effects with the rain storm and the similarity to Rainforest Cafe in that aspect. However, it took about 20 minutes to get one drink, and almost 40 minutes to get an order of fries. And they weren't even good fries... just crazy. read more

We love tiki themed bars as we are a fan of Portland's Hele Pele. We made reservations and were promptly seated in a comfortable booth. The ambiance is great! They mastered the lighting and sound effects. You truly feel transported to a tropical jungle bar in a hut. Drinks were good and the menu was organized well with liquor type/potency, flavor and ingredients all listed. All of our drink orders were delicious. Food came out promptly and the entree portions were big enough to take leftovers home. Drinks: Test Pilot, Hurricane, Dole Whip with Rum Float and a Dr. Funky Food Kalua Pork with Mac Salad Hamburger with fries Great addition to Vancouver and they are open to 2am on weekends. read more
