Some friends and I came back after a few months of going elsewhere for karaoke. It was nice to be back and see a few new drinks on the menu and a positive atmosphere from the staff (mostly). I say mostly because the waitress (didn’t catch a name, dark shoulder length hair) was extremely aggressive, it made my whole group very uncomfortable. She mentioned for us to open a new tab with her multiple times - so she could get the tip, I assume. None of us wanted to put down another card (we had one open with the bartender) and when she suggested us closing our first tab to order through her since we weren’t sitting at the bar, it made us close out and just leave altogether to avoid being further harassed. I assumed ordering through the bartender (having classic bartender banter, asking cocktail questions, ordering on our own time, etc) then taking a seat was allowed - but apparently not anymore. Boy has Hula Hula changed! We almost felt bad leaving until we saw her curse out another employee as we left.

We stopped coming to Hula Hula for a while but were excited to come back. But after this interaction (more like interrogation), we are sticking with other karaoke bars in the area. I guess come here if it’s fun for you to be harassed and made uncomfortable by the staff, but we will not be back on a Sunday.

PS for those who do go despite the warning - the karaoke selection is subpar and the karaoke guy can be a bit rude.
