Mahalo Tiki Lounge
Hawaiian time machine with a long list of rums


Heavily themed on the romanticised "Hollywood" vision of tiki, Mahalo presents a decidedly upscale interpretation. Rooted in the 1960s and 1970s for inspiration, it nods to the tribal tiki stylings, slipping somewhat into cliché but leaving tackiness at the door. A heady cocktail menu featuring a diverse selection of rums – by the glass, barrel or shot glass – plus a few firm favourites from sister establishment Honi Honi, are best washed down to the sweeping views of the city from its top floor location.
