Here we go steelers, here we go!! That being said i'm usually here for sporting events. I first came during hockey season on a Tuesday night. Every table was packed. We had to sit in a corner table that was low to the floor unlike the tall bar style tables. i didn't mind tho because the three projection screen TV's they have are huge and visible throughout the whole establishment. They have a pool table and a dart board for entertainment and i think an arcade game of sorts. the pool game cost money of course but that's ok. they have about 15 bar talbes that seat between 2 and four people but you can add more chairs for your liking. They also have bar seating for about 15-20 as well. The inside is nicely decorated with a Caribbean pirate theme. Almost makes you feel like its halloween all year round. skeletons, sharks, and bamboo decorations. The food selection is crazy! they have four pages of food, all bar food, wings with over 24 sauces, 20 pizzas, 20 burgers, and all kinds of appetizers. Plus they have soup and salads but don't expect a steak sandwich or roasted chicken. I've had their wings.. pretty good, and their pizza is ok, the jalapeno burger was just as good too. My sister raves for their funnel cake fries, which come topped with powdered sugar. YUM! Can't forget their beer selection either. They have specials every night. We went on a monday and all their 12oz drafts were only $4. Naturally I had two. they list about 20 drafts plus they have bottled beers and a full bar. This place is cheap as far as food and drinks come. They even had 5 coors light bottles in a bucket for $12. They also have $5 eat-in-only pizza specials. and half off apps and wings during steeler games. The atmosphere is pretty chill, people are mainly there to drink and mind their business or to socialize about whatever local game is on. It's pretty cool expect for the service. On certain days they only have 2 people to serve the entire bar. So it may take awhile to get served. I notice that they care more about serving you beer and liquor than actual food. I would suggest they get more employees to meet the demand. Especially on game day!! who has only two servers during a steelers or pens game. really? Other than that this place pretty great!

the food was great but I should have not been so stubborn to ignore every single review I read on every single website that said how slow their service is. Seriously, its not even an exaggeration. We were here so long I actually cancelled the order from my salad because the waitress brought out everything else and told me "it will be out soon" after I reminded her......and 20 minutes later when it still wasn't in front of me (like holy crap are you harvesting the vegetables in the back for it?) I told her to just forget abo0ut it. Probably wont be back but im sad because I loved their food.

Horrible food, slow service and a dump. My husband got Jamaican jerk wings which were drowning in grease but no seasonings. I got a burger that was bland, tasteless and had a few bone chips. Waitress #1 was slow, nonchalant and annoying. Waitress #2 was sweet but even her amiable personality was not enough to save this place. A total waste of money and our time. Never again.

Absolutely horrible service at this place. Last Pens season I told myself after countless bad visits that I will never come back to this place again. I stuck to my word the remainder of that season, next season came around and a friend from another state wanted to go for the wings and a pens game (only good things about the hula bar) since he was our guest I figured we I could give it another chance. It was an unusually slow night and the experience was a bit better than the last. Since then I have been back twice. Both visits consisted of multiple wrong drink orders, appalling service, horrendous bill screw ups, menu items not available. Friend of mine didn't get her order of wings until everyone was completely done eating and ready to leave. The most recent visit my friends and I sat for at least 30 minutes before someone waited on us for drinks, another 30 minutes before the waitress/bartender came back to take our food order. At this time we were ready to leave but the waitress had already taken our debit cards for our drinks and they have a $10 minimum, which is technically not allowed. So we decided do just stay for wings. Food came out at all different times, got the wrong flavor of wing sauce. After everyone was done eating we walked up to the bar to request checks because we were no longer waited on. Instead of the waitress giving us our checks she had immediately ran the checks through charging my debit card $47.90. She billed me for 6 orders of 18 wings. Totaling to $39.00, my friends order of 12 wings, his beer and my 2 well drinks, after telling her at the beginning of the night that the checks are going to be separate. I confronted the bar tender and told her that my check was incorrect and she then went on to tell me that she billed me for me and my friends order and that she had already processed it and it cannot be reversed and asked if my friend can just pay me the money for my his meal. I at this time I tried to explain to her that she had charged me $39.00 for 18 wings and she said well you had the 18 wings so that's correct. Meanwhile 18 wings at regular price costs $11.99 but it was half priced wing night so they should have been $5.99. After explaining this to her she then finally realized her misatake and said that her manager is going to have to correct the bill when she gets in later that night. Im still waiting to see if this was actually addressed. Giving it until Monday. So my bill should have consisted of 18 wings for $5.99 and 2 well drinks that were also on special for $3.50 each totaling my bill to $12.99 before taxes and I was charged $47.90. Even with my friends order on my check this bill was waaaay over what it should have been and what makes me the most angry is the bartender acted as if I was wrong and had the nerve to tell me to just have my friend pay me because there was nothing she can do about it. This visit was just the last straw. I am actually amazed that this place continues to get business. Their owner would rather spend money on having a DJ there instead of hiring another waiter or waitress to provide a better experience to their customers. My continued visits were be because it's a nice place to watch pens games with a large group of friends and the wings are really good but the horrible experience every visit makes it not worth it any longer. The fact that my friends and I will never come back to this place might not mean a thing to the Hula bar, however if they don't make some changes I can see this having a huge impact on their business.

Amazing wings, great burgers.... Better customer service. UNREAL VALUE!!! Huge to die for burgers (I had the Eggy Burger $7.00!!) that are cooked to order. Just loved it!! I wished we lived in Pittsburgh, it would be a regular!!
