Amazing drinking hole. The best bang for your money! The bartender, John is just amazing an amazing human being. I highly recommend this place!

Went on a Thursday Night! Loved this place until shift change. We found by chance and decided to hang out for a while. Great atmosphere and friendly people. That is until about 6pm when the new bartender came in. We were talking with other patron and minding our own business. Cashed out with day-shift bartender and ordered another drink. We had 3 beers prior to this request. Night shift bartender cut us off and told us we had to leave. She was so RUDE with absolutely no justification. She should not be dealing with the public. Total B!

My favourite hole in the wall bar in Waikiki. If you want no frills, cheap drinks, friendly staff and customers, come to this place for a drink or 3.

We were in town from Houston for a week and went here everyday. Great bartenders, vibe and met some great folks while we were there. This place is a breath of fresh air. Next trip back this will be our first stop for sure!!

I love this place. I typically drink alot of craft cocktails and mixed drinks. They are expensive. However, I order some of my favorite basics and it rocks. I love the vibe and always looking forward to visiting with my husband on his work trips. This is a solid place, high maintenance people should go to their hotel bar and pay 15 dollars for their martinis.

Honestly, the things that bring their score down have nothing to do with the people who work there. Ridiculous drink specials ($5.50 drinks specials?!?) and fast bartenders are the plus. The bar is a literal hole in the wall. If you want a dive-ier bar, you may have trouble finding one more dive-y in Honolulu. To be fair though, we didn't hate it, didn't love it. Tea shots (white and green) were on point.

On a chilling Friday the 13th, I stumbled upon a small dimly lit bar, tucked away in a forgotten street of the city. The bartender, Jonathan, a spectral figure with sharp glasses, tattoos swirling like ancient curses on his skin, and a short salty beard, beckoned me closer. "For the brave," he whispered, his voice echoing with the weight of a thousand souls, "I have PBR tall boyz and cold Fernet in the cooler." As I sipped the bitter brew, I realized the stories were true. The bartender, they said, was a ghost of a man who'd once served the finest spirits to the living, and now served them to the spirits of the departed.

We always find ourselves gravitating to Honolulu Tavern when we're in the mood for a laid-back evening with good company. The cozy atmosphere, tasty bar food, and the thrill of a competitive game of pool in the back room make it our go-to neighborhood pub.Dietary restrictions: none
