15 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!“

“Excellent food; knowledgeable and polite server who was very attentive but not hovering and the team of servers that brought the different dishes added to the experience; location and seating was fabulous where outside seating wasn't so busy with foot traffic of pedestrians or hotel guests“

“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⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“Great outdoor pool bar. Small and intimate. Bartenders were very attentive. There is a lunch and dinner menu offering depending on the time of day. We just to happen to have been there at dinner time. The menu is small but impactful! Lots of yummy choices! We opted for the nachos and short rib Bao buns! BOTH DELICIOUS!!! This is the place to go in the evenings after dinner to have a couple cocktails and take in the surrounding scenery. Just so beautiful and relaxing!If you’re feeling like something sweet. Ask for the ice cream sandwich from the kids menu!!! YUM!!“

“A hidden gem! Super friendly people, great food with large portions! We are here on vacation from Alabama and this ranks as one of our favorite finds on the island!“

“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.“

“I was happy to have a quick service food place with variety where I could grab some food and take it back to my room to relax & enjoy. The hours are a little limited so I was happy to get it before it closed. I perhaps should have ordered the kid's version (if the let adults do that) since the full order-4 pieces of fish and fries-was a lot of food! It seemed expensive but you did get a lot for the $ and it was good too!“

“We got the Ahi Nachos and two of the must have, because we came all the way to Hawaii of the fancy drinks in the pineapple. The Ahi, truly each bite melts in your mouth. And even though we were in bathing suites the food was presented poolside but in a fancy presentation and taste. I got the mint mojito and my daughter the pina colda and we stepped it up, just to have a cool picture and ordered it in a pineapple. Was a great meal and the drinks were delicious.“

“we enjoyed spending a few days with you all . hope to see you again on our future visits“

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

“We had such an amazing time at the hotel in Ko Olina! The service there was truly exceptional, exceeding all our expectations. We're already looking forward to coming back for another visit!“

“This is a nice place. Casual and nearly always busy since it's the main dining spot at Marriott KoOlina Resort. I'm posting this review because I have eyed a certain dessert item on their menu for a couple of years. It's called Caramel Knowledge. A cool sexy name that piques one's imagination. Well, don't bother unless 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream drizzled with average caramel sauce, chopped macadamia nuts (so far okay), but then surrounded by friut salad (like a Denny's diner fruit cup, blech!). Where's the sexy? Where's the imagination? The dessert get 1 star.
Where's the chef's knowledge of caramel?
How about Dulce de Leche ice cream, dark caramel sauce, perhaps brûlè some fresh pineapple tidbits, toast those nuts, and add a crispy brown sugar tuille. And for heaven sake, omit the dopey fruit salad.“

“Food and service were great“

“We came tonight (family of 6) and we were told that the wait for the table would be around an hour long. We actually got in half an hour earlier than expected, so kudos to all the staff that got us in quicker. We were served by Quinten, and he was absolutely phenomenal. He really made our night with his exceptional service. Super attentive, accommodating, polite, quick and overall superb service from Quinten. The food was delicious (as always), and the atmosphere at Chili's always gives a tremendous vibe. This place is great for a family outing, a date night, or even a small dinner with a few friends. Despite having a busy night AND having a trainee, Quinten made sure we had everything we needed, and then some. Quinten went above and beyond for us tonight, and his hard work should not go unnoticed. He was on top of his game, and sincerely some of the best service we've ever received at a restaurant. He was a pleasure, and next time we visit, we sure do hope we see him again. 10/10, highly recommended! Shout out to ALL the fantastic staff at this location!“
