Everything about the Hawaiian Islands screams tropical paradise, including many our remarkable restaurants. While tiki bars can easily be considered a dime a dozen here in the Aloha State, there are few options that cater perfectly to locals and tourists alike. Keoki’s Paradise is just one such restaurant. Nestled on Kauai’s southern shore in the charming small town of Koloa, this kitschy Hawaiian tiki bar belongs on your summer bucket list.
Keoki’s Paradise looks pretty standard from the outside, but once you step foot inside, you’ll quickly understand what all the fuss is about.
