23.01.2022 I firmly believe in these troubled times it is our DUTY at the Luwow to remain open and provide a safe fun haven for you to escape to. We are following all guide lines and the strictest hygiene measures and managing them well, thanks to our customers for helping us do so! I am not a doctor, nurse or delivery driver but boy can I mix a mean Mai Tai, play some great tunes and provide a top notch Tiki bar experience. Our doors are open from 4pm Mon to Sat. ...

09.01.2022 16 years ago opening the Hula Bula Bar in Perth, things havent changed much! But the drinks have evolved quite a lot. Rum in Australia at the time was pretty much limited to Bacardi, Corona and Havana Club (no the other one is made completely differently and doesnt even count as rum in my book) So we had to import bottles for the bar. Every drink had its own tiki mug and we took your drivers license to cover the mug...
