Ula'Ula, a new tiki-style lounge, will soon open its paper umbrellas in the space above redbar, 2245 E. St. Francis Ave. The lounge, which fittingly means "red" in Hawaiian, will only open on weekends – kind of like a pop-up bar in a permanent space. 

Lee Guk, who was the proprietor of  Tiki Joe's in Walker's Point, will operate the lounge, along with Carrie Wisnewski and Nick Schell, who own the building and redbar.

"We had a very under-utilized space (on the second floor) and this seems like a perfect way to showcase it," says Wisnewski.

Stay tuned to OnMilwaukee for a first look of Ula'Ula after it opens.
