50 Best Bars near Kailua

“Snapper was hard to eat. Lobster Bucatini was too salty and hated the gummy claw of the lobster. If I knew it was the claw, I would not have ordered it. Steak Diane and Ribeye & Lobster were great! Truffle fries were amazing! Waiter was nice but hard to understand. Finally, the creme brulle was the absolute best I've ever eaten. It's my go to dessert and this was handsdown the best!!!“

“Great place for cheers and fun! Very much a family!“

“Everything!! Atmosphere is great wonderful staff & you get to make a lot of good memories there . I know I did in the past 3 years….“

“This bar is a good street side location, and has an excellent happy hour special each day of the week. You can’t beat the happy hour special prices, $12 for a draft beer and burger/tacos/pulled pork etc. depending on the day, the pulled pork is my favorite. Excellent draft selection of local beers. Dog friendly lanai. Staff are also very friendly. Our favorite place for happy hour in Kailua.“

“Crazy friendly. We went on a Friday afternoon and headed out for some dinner and then went back later because of how friendly and welcoming they were.If your an Elk and on Oahu, make sure not to miss this great Lodge where the sense of Elkdom comes through strong.“

“I absolutely loved the fresh food and the staff was awesome Friendly and made you feel welcome Will definitely return to this establishment“

“We found the restaurant by chance and how wonderful it was. We went on Taco Tuesday and the tacos were delicious and super big. The food we ordered (enchiladas and burrito) were very good and were also very large. Furthermore, the place is very beautiful.“

“On Hale Koa's beach (Fort DeRussy). Nice atmosphere and 20% discount for military personnel. Only food is hot dogs and chips. Why a 5/5 rating? Because of Kimo the bartender. Have never met a more caring person. He gives water with the drinks, offers chairs, sun protection lotion and anything else needed. All customers I talked to felt the same way about Kimo. Excellent variety of drinks. Mango flow was my favorite. People from all over the world sit here and we become one big family. Will be back and will recommend ?“

“This bar was one of the highlights of my time on Oahu. I loved the ambiance and music from the live DJ. The decor and layout was very aesthetic. The space was small but I personally like a more intimate setting. All their drinks were very creative and well-made. Saved this spot in my favorites!“

“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❤️“

“Everything was beautiful: weather, view, piano music and food service. Food was interesting and delicious. The only area they could improve would be the dessert selection. The kulolo crunch and the basque cheesecake were both bland. Enjoyed the coconut ice cream and fruit. The desserts at Dean & Deluca are way better. Other than that, it was a lovely experience.“

“I find Mimosa is quite easy to make.“

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

“This is a great outdoor spot to have some drinks right off the beach! We watched the sunset on the beach and then walked right in and it wasn't too busy (on a weekday at 6pm). Our server Josephine was lovely and very good at checking up on us. A little later on they had live music too, and it was a very relaxed and enjoyable vibe!
My favourite drink was the Lava Flow!
(FYI no food service though)“

“Great place close to the ocean.“

“Went for drinks only. The mixes and the alcohol were good quality.

The staff was very good and kept up with all of the tables. We were asked if we wanted more and had new drinks before our previous ones were finished.

Place was very clean and the atmosphere was pleasant.“

“Best hidden secret in Waikiki. Every single staff member is incredible. Their bar manager, Matthew, is hands down the best in town. Every craft cocktail they make is exceptional, my personal favorites would be the espresso martini and the island punch.“

“Amazing food everything is so so good“

“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“

“Remix Sushi fries were the bomb. Hand cut fries rustic style with the perfect blend of sushi sauces. The real winner is the Karai Mary. Best bloody Mary I've ever had. Don't let the wasabi rim scare you. Super light and loaded with layers of flavors that blend together perfectly. Bartender Ryan was super helpful. Check this place out!“

“Hanks is no longer. These post are old. Ever since Hank sold the place its not the same as it used to be in years past. The big fat guy ar the door tried to make me pay him 10 bucks to get in. There's no cover charge for as long as I been there.“

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

“As the name implies - right on the edge of the ocean in Waikiki. Magnificent ocean views.😎“

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

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

“This bar is so cute. Tucked away in the Stix Asia food hall. It’s a nice place to stop for a drink in away from the hustle and bustle of the Waikiki strip. Make sure to try their gyoza and I can’t remember the name of it but the cocktail I had was something with Hali vodka and midori was so good. Also they validate parking “

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

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

“Roy's has a well-deserved reputation for blending creative approaches to dishes with outstanding presentation, taste and quality ingredients. Our fish dishes were exceptional, kitchen timing perfect (not too rushed with sufficient space between courses). Service was attentive but not overly intrusive. Blackened ahi appetizer was plentiful and sashimi quality great. Butterfish always great, and it did at our dinner at the original Roy's Waikiki. Roy's is expensive, but it aligns with the quality and service.“

“Best garlic shrimp I’ve ever had! I’ve been to 15+ eateries ordering the same dish on the mainland and the Hawaiian islands. The guava fried chicken and Lilikoi Pie were epic too! �“

“Fried Chicken is the best“

“Michael, truly helped to make our anniversary dinner special. I'd mentioned that I was suffering from a headache,
and without even asking, he created 2 uniquely flavored mocktails for my husband and, I to enjoy.

The food came from the neighboring establishment hot and ready.
We decided upon the Mezze platter with falafel, and the tacos with lamb. Both were outstanding, full of flavor and healthily portioned; enough for a second meal.

There was also a DJ who added to the relaxed atmosphere. It was a relief to be in an unpretentious setting with great hospitality and affordable, quality fare.

Visit, Bevy if ever you have a chance.“

“We found this bar by accident. It was part of our best experience in Hawaii. The bartenders and customers were so welcoming. We had such a blast and loved not paying tourists prices🥃🏝️🙏🏼❤️“

“The service was slower than expected. The “manager” was using the register and also making drinks. No big deal, except he used his hands to grab the fruit garnish for my drink and touched all over the rim of my glass.
Wouldn’t go back on purpose.“

“Great little speakeasy above Aloha Beer!“

“Best appetizers and drinks I’ve had in a very long 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! ❤️👍🏻“

“Drinks were pretty good, but very expensive, even for Hawaii. It was fun to experience!“

“Where else can you find a place with a pacific ocean pier 100 yds away and bodies laying a few feet from the entrance while inside are a higher-than-usual percentage of attractive women and weekend live music that is far better than expected?Yep! My all time favorite dive bar!“

“Highly recommend this bar! It's in the Hilton Waikiki. The drinks are phenomenal and the bartenders are top tier! Shout-out to Dana, Blake, and Massimo. Great conversation, great live music on certain nights. And you can order good food from the restaurant next door for the bar. Happy hour specials and great mixed drinks!“

“Love coming here after a long day at work to enjoy amazing drinks and food being served up by awesome servers that cater to you while you play bingo or just enjoying live music on the patio!!! Definitely me and hubby favorite spot always have a great time“

“It's been a while since I visited Bar 35. Sat at the bar with friends and had a wonderful time. It has a live entertainer (a singer) tonight and he was awesome! Had the pork belly and Brussels sprouts--both were delish! Will definitely go back more often!

Parking: Free street parking is available after 6 pm“

“Seeking shelter from the rain on my motorcycle and found this super friendly local bar and everyone introduced themselves. Ended up ordering the cheeseburger…you get 2…and it has the most ono cheese sauce. Mahalo for the shelter and grinds.“

“amazing atmosphere, great and colourful Tiki Bar, live music, cocktails were delicious 🍸🎶😋“

“Very pretty contemporary coffee shop & bar with a lot of seating available and long hours. Friendly attentive staff works hard with all the foot traffic from Waikiki strip right around the corner. My cortado was very good…not amazing, served only in to-go cups, the seating inside is stylish but loud music gives off a bar-type vibe, difficulty parking & no outlets or restrooms for use… 4.5/5

Parking: Waikiki, what’d you expect…?“

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

“Great dining experience and service“
