Royal Hawaiian

The Royal Hawaiian, a historic tiki bar in Laguna Beach, California, has been an important hangout for decades, known for its blend of tradition and modernity.

Francis Cabang and his partner Harold 'Hal' Hanna first opened the Royal Hawaiian, which has since been painstakingly reconstructed to bring back the glory days of Francis Cabang's restaurant.

Menu items include appetizers, salads, main courses, and desserts, with notable dishes such as Spam Fries, Crispy Shrimp Shumai, and Poke Nachos. The bar program pays homage to classics while adding modern twists, with signature cocktails like the Mai Tai and the Lapu Lapu.

Custom and hand-built pieces throughout the establishment create a distinct ambiance, described as an exotic wonderland, where one can escape to their own personal Bali Hai.

Hours of operation are subject to change, so it's advised to review the hours before visiting the Royal Hawaiian in beautiful Laguna Beach.
