Great place to grab a drink and some bar food! The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and the service was friendly throughout our visit. They also have a live band at night, which creates a fun and lively atmosphere. A great spot to relax, enjoy good food and drinks, and listen to live music. We’d definitely come back!
Really enjoyed this place. Was there on a Thursday eve to have a bite. Got some calimari, the Hawaian burger and a Blue Hawaian drink. It all tasted delicious. I also appreciated that the condiments are kept cold in the back and brought to the table when needed. I know from passing here before they at night it can get busy with a live band so plan your activities accordingly.
The atmosphere is pretty cool in a cheese Hawaiian kind of way, the band (live music) was fantastic, the tequila didn't taste how it should, maybe watered down or not the specific choice ordered. The calamari tasted good but chewy. All in all, a 3 1/2 because the service was on point.
What a great accidental find! We heard live music from the balcony of our hotel! They have live music every night from 7pm to 10pm and boy, those bands don’t disappoint! Special kudos to Oldies and Goodies who are rock stars! 🤙 The place is vibing! Come get a drink and some food and you will have an amazing time!
Fun place for an evening of cocktails and live music. Easy to access from the touristy spots at Waikiki and the band playing was excellent too. The cocktails are strong ( you will not complain for lack of alcohol here). The real pinacolada served in an actual pineapple is recommended and might even suffice for two people.
