13 Best Bars near Waianae

“Absolutely amazing food, service, and live music. Got there at 7 for our reservation and no wait. Our first order got there very fast. I would recorder everything we had: poke nachos, medium rare loco moco with fried rice, house burger medium rare with grilled onions and strawberry cheesecake. Best loco moco I’ve ever had. Poke nachos were up there. Burger was very good with aioli sauce. The garlic truffle fries were average but still good. The cheesecake was super good, perfect size for two who just ate a lot. We didn’t finish our food to leave room for dessert. Great spot, highly recommend!“

“It is rare to find a place that has great food, an upscale vibe, and is family friendly. Noe met all these things and exceeded our expectations!

I reserved an early dinner here a month before our trip for my husband’s birthday. Our 13 month old was fussy and I was worried she would disturb the peace of this place but the staff and other guests were SO nice. They gave her a coloring book, offered guests umbrellas when it started to drizzle, and we never felt rushed during our entire dinner. This was one of the best customer service experiences we’ve had- it was just a lovely experience.

I loved the our server’s wine recommendation. The signature pasta was amazing as expected, the ahi as well. And the BREAD/olive oil/tapenade was so good. I probably could have done without the farm salad I got though- it kinda had clashing flavors.

We would love to come back here in the future- the ambiance and experience were wonderful.“

“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⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Aloha fun 😎 and great service 👍“

“Friendly staff and good vibes.

My only complaint the jukebox can eat shit it's annoying that you may drop $10-20 to never hear you song play (unless you pay triple). Early in the night patrons play banger after banger of you like metal....

However as the night goes on the trash gets played, Buck Cherry and Creed are absolutely shite to listen to... I really dislike the jukebox/how it's setup.“

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

“My husband and I love longboards! It’s our usual go-to lunch spot when we have beach days. although, this trip was a little disappointing — as the entire time we were there, their frozen Mai Tai machine was broken and they could only make them on the rocks. The servers didn’t know when they would be getting a new machine but I hope it’s faster than they were making it seem like it would be, I’m sure it’s one of their best sellers!“

“Food and service were great“

“Well first of all it was absolutely amazing. Felt like I was being held in the womb of Mother Earth. There’s something about the energy of this place that made me laugh with tears streaming down of pure joy. I imagined that I was a king of the castle as I rapidly switched between my honey crisp chicken fingers, my beer and my slider. They say chilis isn’t for the faint of the heart, and I conquer this statement, as it takes one ravenous, gluttonous half animal, half human to take on a place as glorious as this.“
