Despite the name, we’ve never seen anyone order anything but beer and well drinks at Mauna Loa, so don’t walk in expecting tiny umbrellas and tiki cups. There’s a pool table up front and pop-a-shot in the back, along with plenty of sitting/standing options if you just want to make plans for the weekend while drinking cheap cocktails that won’t destroy your bank account. Even when it’s crowded, Mauna Loa is still a good spot to get away from the general madness of Union Street on Friday night without having to go too far. As a heads up, it’s cash only.
