Roka Hula Tiki Bar in Orlando
The ambiance inside Roka Hula is upscale tiki. While many tiki fans appreciate a laidback vibe, Roka Hula is elevated and a bit posh. The creators and owners are from the Fort Lauderdale and Delray Beach area, so you may pick up on the South Florida vibes.
Entering Roka Hula requires you to enter VooDoo Bayou and check in at the podium / host stand. If you see two elaborate chairs flanking the sides of a stuffed leopard you're in the right place.
Once you are whisked inside of Roka Hula you are sure to notice the intense decor. Colorful lighting and tropical decor covers every square inch of the dining room and lounge area.
