50 Best Bars near Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam

“This is a great bar to hit after golfing at Hickam Par 3. The drinks are nice, cold and cheap. The service is great and the servers were super nice and welcoming. Small club house but offers plenty for before and after golf. You can’t beat AC and cold beer at 8$ for a large! They also give half pitchers!!“

“It may not seem like much at first glance, with a limited selection of drinks to choose from at this bar, but a few good pointers to note is the drinks range from about 4.50-5, and have a decent cost on pitchers too. There is a restaurant next door that serves wings, jerk chicken, and a few other things that you can buy that they can serve to you at the bar. The bar also has a decent amount of high table seating inside, and plenty of tables outside, with some being under the cover of the extension of the roof. The biggest takeaway is the fact that they have 4 pool tables, and you can rent a set of balls for free, on the condition that you have to turn in a form of ID, likely your CAC. When it's not busy and people aren't waiting to rent balls, you can play until close. Otherwise, you'll only be able to rent for 1 hour and wait for your turn. The atmosphere is generally nice, and the music ranges from Techno for one playlist, to multiple forms of Rock, to some popish music. Maybe you can request, but otherwise a DJ does come around once a weekend.“

“~2008, had just gotten back from Iraq and they placed me here overnight. Yes, the room was humid, I had a gecko or two roaming around, and place was dated. Pretty sure I had a paranormal experience that night, too. Or maybe just sleep paralysis :).“

“Great venue with friendly service and good food. TradeWinds has billiards, TVs, and a comfortable setup for the family. I had the fish and chips and a grilled chicken Caesar salad, and everything hit the spot. Looking forward to coming back.“

“Koa Oasis is one of my favorite little finds at Fort DeRussy Beach Park.

Not for nothing, but for a tiny beach shack, they make some surprisingly solid cocktails. I’ve had the Mai Tai several times and recently tried the Li Hing Margarita for the first time. It definitely won’t be my last. In fact, I think I’d order it over the Mai Tai next time, which is saying a lot.

The service is always outstanding. Every employee I’ve interacted with has been friendly, welcoming and efficient. Honestly, if I could give the service 10 stars, I would.

The food selection is limited, but that’s not really the point. They have snacks, chips and hot dogs — enough to soak up the booze from the booze shack. 😂

One other thing worth mentioning: I’m not military, but if you’re active duty, retired military or a veteran, Koa Oasis offers a military discount with proof of service.

Great drinks, great service and an unbeatable location just steps from the beach.“

“Such a fun place. They have swing chairs at the bar. love it!!“

“I highly recommend coming here - especially when Laura is working!! She is such a baddie💪 Highly attentive, VERY knowledgeable about their craft beer, and was super helpful/accommodating with food! We were there to watch a football game, and even though my team played horribly, I still had an amazing time, because of Laura’s hospitality and service❤️“

“I wish I could give this place SEVEN stars, but apparently Google Maps is run by cowards.

RM 38 is, without question, the best bar on the island. And it’s not like the island is out here serving sad gas-station margaritas—there are plenty of world class drinks around. RM 38 is just that far ahead of the pack.

The staff is amazing. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, which makes sitting at the bar feel like dinner theater, except everyone is cooler, the plot involves cocktails, and the ending is always “wow, I need another one.”

The menu is awesome, but if you are overwhelmed or indecisive, just let them work their magic. They will make you something better than whatever you thought your favorite drink was, then casually drop a fascinating story behind it like they are part bartender, part historian, part wizard.“

“This was easily my favorite bar on the island.

They specialize in highballs, and the current menu is a full-on Chinatown tribute—local ingredients, bold flavors, no shortcuts. Everything about this place hits. Smooth vinyl spinning 😎, a space that actually feels intentional instead of thrown together… you can tell the owner cares about the experience, not just the drinks.

I had three cocktails—all of them balanced, creative, and dialed in.
The Mango Sticky Rice cocktail? Different level 🥰 I had it twice… so yeah, technically four drinks.

No regrets.“

“Music and atmosphere is outstanding! Fun place to listen to good music while enjoying a beverage!“

“This outdoor bar is fantastic. The Mai Tai's are fantastic and not to be missed. They open at 11am and serve until 10pm. There is live music most evenings. There is walk up service at the bar or take a seat at one of the umbrella covered tables for table service. Winnie is a fantastic server and has worked there over twenty years. Find one of her tables, you won't be disappointed.“

“We highly recommend Moani island Bistro.The owners have created a wonderful choice of food and all of the staff are awesome! Their food was delicious and the wait staff especially Raina and the two brothers that work the bar were so much fun. The owner came out and introduced herself. We loved it so much we went three times on our stay! 10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Me and my daughter visit here in November we went the waitress. They call her. Hennessy and Roland were so nice. The hookah was good. Good environment. I recommend if you’re ever in Hawaii this is the hookah lounge to visit. good vibes and you can also bring one bottle. I think there are trying to get their liquor license. They don’t have food right now, but you can definitely order food. Trust you will enjoy.“

“Absolutely love this place! A home away from home! The staff is great and I love the atmosphere! They do great theme parties and make them fun! Great dancers. Highly recommend when you visit/live in Hawaii!“

“This is an amazing whiskey bar! Their collection of whiskey, bourbon, and scotch is unrivaled here. I have been several times and have always enjoyed it. My most recent visit left me a bit underwhelmed. I ordered the BLT. It was beautiful with a nice twist...a fried green tomato, but I took one bite all I could taste was mustard! Who puts mustard on a BLT? It was a shame, I ate 1/4 of it and took the rest home. At home I scraped the mustard off and added mayo...then it was banging!

The service was great as usual and the atmosphere lovely. All in all a solid choice...but beware the mustard!“

“Icon scene on Waikiki Beach! Top notch service. 🌺“

“I find Mimosa is quite easy to make.“

“Chilling with my niece and nephew in the center of a supermarket sipping on a glass of red wine and eating some really delicious pupu’s from Pau Hana Bar located inside Foodland Farms Pearl City.

Everything we eat here has a local touch to it but the highlight for us is always the Sizzling Ribeye Steak with Onions and Mushrooms served with a Butter Kabayaki Sauce. It was fire!

We also had the Pan Fried Ahi Belly Chinese Style, Ika Karaage, Gojuchang Fried Chicken Wings, Ahi Poke, Shishito Peppers, Furikake Salmon Salad and the Fried Rice.

Love the vibe and atmosphere here and the service is always top notch. I love how they all work together and there is always somewhere within reach if you need anything.“

“You will meet people that love to talk and have a great time. Bring any food in .. your lunch or dinner and have some drinks. The prices are reasonable and the last dive bar left in Waikiki. Come meet new friends on your visit - Aloha“

“Paniolo Bar & Café (in the lobby of The Equus Hotel) is officially in my rotation now—and the fact that it’s a quick 5-minute walk from my place? Dangerous. In the best way.

I didn’t even eat this time (yet), but I will be back for food—possibly today.

Let’s talk drinks:
My first one… no idea what it was called, but it was red and perfect 😂
Then I had a passion fruit + pineapple margarita that was chef’s kiss—fresh, balanced, and exactly what you want when you’re in this mood.

But the real standout? Ben behind the bar.

Attentive, personable, and just gets it. The kind of bartender who elevates the whole experience without trying too hard.

The vibe is relaxed, local-friendly, and low-key elevated—exactly the kind of spot you don’t want to gatekeep, but also kind of do.

If you’re in Ala Moana and want great cocktails with even better service, this is it.

I’ll absolutely be back!“

“i love the beef and chicken kebob. the koko brownie was to die for. they offer wide variety of alcoholic drinks. prices are very reasonable. parking is conveniently located at the back of the restaurant.“

“The food will surprise you with how well executed it is. Oyster and Opihi shooter are a must try, if they're not sold out.

The service is always attentive, prompt and socially gregarious. Thank you to the team at Remixx bar & grill for good eats and memories. Highly recommend!

P.S. bring cash for the digital jukebox 🤭
P.S.S karaoke room available 🤫“

“Great place close to the ocean.“

“You wouldn't expect this place to be as amazing as it is. But it always is. My family comes here all the time because we live just down the road, and we feel like it's absolutely the best restaurant in this area of the island. The service is consistently friendly. Everything we've tried off the menu, we've enjoyed. The setting is fantastic, especially watching the sunset over the golf course from the patio. My kids like playing on the grass area while we wait for food, and we like that they have a grilled cheese for our toddler and you can order it without fries. But get the fries, they're yummy, especially the garlic fries. We love the salt and pepper pork, the chicken sandwich, all the sushi rolls, the salads...and more. You can't go wrong. It can get busy in the evenings though, so it's better to make a reservation (even though we don't, we've sometimes had to wait long).“

“Awesome food, cold beer and friendly staff!!!“

“Great location. Excellent food and wonderful beer / wine. Neil is fantastic. Love this place!“

“Favorite place to go on island for drinks. Always keeping it classy 🍻 Great prices and great selection of games to play too.“

“was there recently on my trip with the best company. (I was travelling from Australia). Loved it! Totally going back again early May 😃“

“Fried Chicken is the best“

“I visited today and sat at the bar for Happy Hour and had the best bartender (woman) whose name I didn't get but we did chat about travel. She was so kind! I forgot my credit card and ran after me down the street to return it to me! The food was great and the service was awesome. Thank you kind lady and enjoy your trip to South Africa!“

“Best appetizers and drinks I’ve had in a very long time“

“We just came back to the US after a long trip to Europe and Asia so we decided to go back to Yardhouse for their happy hour. We ordered our usual poke nachos with Tomato bisque. We dunk our nachos on the bisque and it’s the best ever snack! I also ordered their chicken wrap, also good the chicken was well seasoned and tender. We ate at the bar area outside. The inside looked a little dark and dated not really very inviting for eating. But our food is great and our server is very friendly!“

“I only write google reviews for the places that I really love and Bevy was one of my favorite place to visit when I was in Hawaii. They have amazing list of cocktails and the bartender was super attentive! Enjoyed my time here and food was good too! They made my birthday extra special 🎂“

“Quick and friendly service! They were so kind and accommodating with replacing our cocktail soju when I realized their Dubai Chocolate was made with matcha, and treated me extra special on my birthday (even on a Sunday night). My boyfriend and I love the karaoke rooms and the Ube Latte soju, and the KFC is the best!!“

“Great place to catch the football game today! Great screens, friendly staff and fun guests!!!“

“I recently moved to Chinatown from east Oahu and decided to check out Hanks… walking distance from my apartment!! What a gas!!! Loved the live music and huge variety of patrons. The bar tender was skilled and conversational and made this old lady who’s solo, feel welcome and comfortable!!👍🏼👍🏼“

“Could just be a preference, the fish toco where a little dry. Crispy pork, i prefer the vegetables mixed and a little more vinegar bite in the sauce. Garlic fries, again it could just be preference, it just didn't feel like Garlic fries im used to getting. It just wasn't mixed more like melted butter. Poke nachos... it was good just the sauce wasn't that spread out as much. Overall it was good atmosphere. For taste. To each their own.“

“Davey’s is our favorite local bar in Waikiki. Davey himself was so welcoming and accommodating. The staff was excellent! We loved the Smash Burgers on Sunday! We came to watch football and were treated like family. Dog friendly as well! Will be back next time.“

“Loved this place! Marco and his gang are fantastic! Treated us very well. If you’re looking for a cool local place to decompress from hustle and bustle in Honolulu, this is the place! ❤️👍🏻“

“The best shave ice & fruit we had during our entire 2 week trip on O'ahu! Can't stop thinking about how delicious they were and I've been home 2 months now. Can't wait to come back!“

“Really local spot, the bar staff is amazing. They always make sure they’re taking good care of you. The food isn’t the priority but it’s good when you order. The drinks are good and the atmosphere is very welcoming if you play your cards right. Keep in mind this is a local spot so come in humble and you might get a spot at the bar. If you do, it’ll be your new favorite spot.“

“Good fun! Good space for the party and the staff was excellent.“

“Excellent food!👍🏽 Friendly staff & loved the service!👍🏽👍🏽“

“Stopped by LBLE bar twice on our NYE trip to Waikiki.

The 1st time, we stopped by for a drink, waiting for our room. We were able to catch the Saturday afternoon football game on the huge TV, grab HH drinks and some lau lau nachos.

The 2nd visit, we went to watch the week 18 49ers vs Seahawks game, we ordered HH drinks and was able to order from Blake's secret menu! Blake went out of his way to make us a rootbeer float.

The great service from Blake the bartender is what drove us to come back for a 2nd visit. We enjoyed our time spent in LBLE Lounge and will definitely visit again when we are in the area. Shout out to Blake for making our visit enjoyable.

We definitely recommend the Guava cooler and the secret menu item rootbeer float!“

“Always love the food and service here. The fries are my favorite on the island!“

“We stop by here about once a month. The owner/bartender (Eddie) is the main reason he has such a following. The bartop is usually full on a weekend, but there are plenty of seats and tables in the dining area. Bar food favorites include the deep fried pork belly, wings & fries, tots, maxwell polish dog. Their homeade hot sauce is amazing. Drink prices are reasonable. Bottles & cans only. No drafts. Great bourbon & whiskey selection. Street parking is a bit of a challenge. However, there are several city municipal parking lots nearby for about $3-5 for a 4-5 hour stay.“

“I’m from out of town and I found this bar because all of the other ones were “ugh”. When I came to Club Wave, I felt so welcomed. The bartender, Makamae was great. The owner and his family are great. The atmosphere, people, and the conversations are great. When I came back, everyone remembered me by name. I used to have two favorite bars that I would go out of my way to go to. Now, I have three.“

“Best nachos! Cocktails were nice and very close to the beach“

“I enjoy this place a lot. The beer selection is fantastic. The ambience feels mellow but definitely not boring. The video games provide nostalgia. I highly recommend it.“

“Great food and friendly service. I love this place!“
