1275 Stardust St
Reno, NV 89503

Pele Utu in Reno, NV, stands as the city's sole traditional Tiki bar, paying homage to the legendary Hukilau Jim and his adventures in creating tropical paradises. Inspired by a volcanic cavern turned into a haven, the bar emerged as "Pele Utu," a vibrant testament to resilience and love for rum.

Entrusted to talented bartenders Dr. Shocker and Rosie Raddish by Hukilau Jim, Pele Utu continues to captivate guests with exotic elixirs, tropical libations, and rum rhapsodies. The bar invites visitors to escape the ordinary, immersing themselves in a world of unique flavors and unforgettable experiences.
