50 Best Bars near Kaneohe

“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“

“First time here. Was delicious and surprised me that a good breakfast was right here at Windward Mall Ruby Tuesday. I had the deconstructed Loco Moco. The hamburger patty was spot on. Go try it out. Ask for Brandon. Unless you goin complain then ask for Nick.“

“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❤️“

“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.“

“Fantastic bar and cigar lounge in Waikiki. It was a joy to visit after a nice dinner and relax. Service quality is out of this world and education opportunity for all other bars and restaurants. Secret treasure. I cannot recommend more for those cigar aficionados. Curtis is excellent host.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 met 3 friends for dinner here last night. We each ordered a sandwich or a burger. I ordered the BLT b/c they offered to substitute the bacon with avocado. But then they were out of avocados. No big deal, the LT on sourdough was good. More vegetarian options on the menu would be nice. It was a bit loud by the bar, so I'd recommend asking for a table away from it. Overall, the value was decent. It seems like a Honolulu dinner out with a mocktail these days costs about $40/person, and that tracked here.“

“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“

“I find Mimosa is quite easy to make.“

“I am new to the island and her for work. I came here with some friends and felt absolutely welcome by the staff. They were friendly, and the food was outstanding! Tosha deserves a raise!

Support this business at all costs!“

“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.“

“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! ❤️👍🏻“

“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🥃🏝️🙏🏼❤️“

“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 🎂“

“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!!👍🏼👍🏼“

“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….“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“It was an unexpected surprise. Not fancy, but a nice casual atmosphere to grab a quick bite to eat. Have passed it many times not realizing what we were missing. Have tried a few times in the last year but always seemed to miss when they were open. Will definitely stop in again when I am at USCGS to pick up supplies from Ability 1.“

“Great drinks 🍸 great food, great customer service“

“~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 :).“

“I was skeptical at first. There was no way a bar could cook up some grinds. I was wrong. Everything we ordered was bomb. You thirsty? The break room. You hungry? The break room. You both?? You already know. You gotta try this place; or don’t. Idc, cause if you don’t come, I’ll always have a table… lol. But seriously, you gotta try umm. They got brunch specials of you ain’t a night owl…“

“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.“

“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.“

“Owner from Golden Gate Lounge, has a strong Korean personality that I like. 🥴💕“

“I felt adventurous and tried the 400 Rabbits cocktail. The taste was delicious! However, it is literally served in a thimble. The Maka 'ako mule has to be my favorite with the old fashioned martini coming in second. Of course I haven't tried ALL the drinks... The cosmo is pretty yummy too“
