TempleBar Restaurant & Bar on University Avenue in Berkeley has a great selection of polynesian cuisine. The atmosphere is all out Tiki Bar and the owner, Uncle Kem, is incredibly nice.
The food is exquisite, with mouth watering items such as pulled pork. There is also a large drink menu, and you can order such favorites as a Blue Hawaiian or a Lavalava mixed drink. They also have many beers on tap.
Templebar also hosts Hawaiian musicians, there is a concert at least once a month, and if you'd like to learn how to play ukulele, Uncle Kem has "band night" every Tuesday. For a $5 donation, you will sit in with about 40 other people and learn how to play ukulele like there's no tomorrow!
Every first Sunday of the month is "Aloha Sunday" from 12-6pm and they have a Hawaiian buffet cooked by Uncle Kem complete with luau dancers!! The price is $10 and it is a lot of fun!
