50 Best Bars near Kailua

“Great speakeasy, with an intimate Jazzy romantic, candlelit dinner. We were given a secret code and hour before our reservation. This secret code, was so we could enter. The food was great! We started with the diver sea scallops. So ono! The drinks are awesome! Rainbow Wings and Spotted Cat!, For dinner we had the French Laundry (highly recommended),, and Lobster risotto (mouth watering) We topped off the night with a creme brulee! Service was phenomenal and they have live Jazz every night.“

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

“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 ?“

“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❤️“

“Susies is the best! Loved it here!“

“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!“

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

“I find Mimosa is quite easy to make.“

“A huge shout-out to the wonderful staff at Pint & Jigger, especially our server, Bodhi! A couple of weeks ago, I was tasked to find a restaurant that would seat 20+ of us (including 2 kids who tagged along) who were wrapping up our conference. We left it to the last minute, but since many of us were already staying at the Ala Moana, I thought we could check out whether Pint & Jigger had space for us the next day. Not only did they make space for us on a Friday afternoon/early evening, they gave us our own room so that it wasn't as loud as the general area. Then Bodhi went above and beyond with his service and helping us all manage our bills, which we were happy to pay for delicious food! I know we were not the ideal situation for them, but the fact that they really put in extra effort to make us feel comfortable and welcomed absolutely made the experience a wonderful way to cap off our conference. Mahalo!“

“Great place close to the ocean.“

“Had 3 drinks here while waiting for dinner. Service was quick and the location is great, right on the beach. The blended drinks weren’t very strong but the mai tai made up for it. The mango flow was great and the pina colada tasted like they forgot the pineapple. Super pro-military menu and they played stadium country the entire 90 minutes we were there but it was better than anything at the Hilton village.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“Amazing food everything is so so good“

“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.“

“Fried Chicken is the best“

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

“6/2025
Been frequenting this nice,cozy find quite a bit, especially on Wine down Wednesdays. You cannot beat the 50% off most all wine bottle special. It's also not like the carry bad labels either. Their list is simple but elegant as is the atmosphere. Located on the 2nd floor in the middle of Nordstroms, this little secret is a pleasant way to kill some time, watch a quick game on TV, heck out the foot traffic while contemplating that to do list, or enjoy random conversations with regulars and newbies alike. Everyone knows the friendly staff by name and the cocktails are pretty dang good too. It's not the cheapest place in the world to get a cocktail but what place is nowadays and the ambiance provides that added value. Hence, Wednesdays. Give them a try when you're near Foodland or shopping in the area and pamper yourself with an unexpected pleasant break. 😉🤙✌️“

“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🥃🏝️🙏🏼❤️“

“We had a private event at Remixx. We ordered catering style and the food was terrific. A highlight on the menu is definitely the corned beef fried rice and the smoked meats.

But what sets this place apart is the service. We set up our event with Kapiolani. She was helpful and responsive throughout the whole process. The night of the event all the servers on staff were so friendly and always keeping the tables clean.

This place fit our event of about 50 people comfortably.“

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

“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.“

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

“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! �“

“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!“

“We came for lunch the food was delicious! For appetizers we had the frying dragon roll, parmesan brussels sprouts, and mesclun mix salad with blackened ahi. Our main lunch was the chirashi. We love coming here and listening to the live music. It's so relaxing! We'll definitely come back again!“

“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.“

“Great little speakeasy above Aloha Beer!“

“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“

“Diamond head acai bowl was delicious.
Flat white - decent for the USA. (If you’re from Australia - you’ll know what I mean)
Cool vibe, nice fit out. Could get some cool IG shots inside. Outdoor seating not as appealing. If this was in a better location I imagine it would get crazy busy with long lines of people!
Will definitely be back!“

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

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

“It's my neighborhood so I use it often.This is a Whole Foods store in Kahala Mall, right next to Whole Foods, and although it looks like a pub at first glance, the food is delicious. This is a restaurant where you can enjoy just the food without having to order alcohol.The daily menu is a great deal!I often go on ?Taco Tuesday on Tuesdays. The store opens at 1pm in the afternoon.“

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

“My mom and I stopped in here spur of the moment after traveling the island all day (May 18). We were hesitant at first, but are so glad we did. It is a very local, musical, relaxing bar with great people and amazing food - Jiwon Kim is a master. Mary was an absolute delight. And unfortunately we didn’t get the other bartender’s name, but she gave us yummy Hawaiian snacks and checked on us constantly. Thank you for creating a highlight on our trip!“

“🍗🎤 The chicken, soju, and karaoke — perfect combo!

The chicken and soju here were to die for — crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. But what really made the night was the karaoke! Great setup, fun vibes, and just an all-around awesome time with friends. Solid service and a chill, lively atmosphere. Definitely coming back for more food, drinks, and great times!“
