Tisa’s Barefoot Bar

Top choice in American Samoa


Tisa's is possibly the most popular place on Tutuila, and rightfully so. It's one of the rare spots to offer traditional fale (though these have proper beds instead of mattresses) and its superb setting on Alega Beach, brilliant bar-restaurant and the wonderful company of Tisa and her boyfriend Candyman combine to make this a very difficult place to leave.
