Best & Cool Bars in Oahu

"If you’re looking for less upscale and more Hawaiian cool, Duke’s Waikiki might hit the spot. Duke’s has a gorgeous view of the bay and serves some of the most beloved food in town at a reasonable price. Seasonal fish, perfectly cooked steaks, and succulent prime ribs take center stage in a menu that packs a lot of spice."

"A couple of our favorite Waikiki lunch spots with great ocean views are Hula Grill, Duke’s Waikiki, and Tropics Bar and Grill for casual fare. For a bit more of an upscale lunch with an ocean view, we like Veranda at the Beachhouse and House without a Key."

"Sheraton Waikiki’s ultra-chic RumFire serves Pacific and Hawaiian flavors that pair well with their excellent drink menu. They emphasize healthy local ingredients and sharable plates that create a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere on the gorgeous oceanfront patio (at least before it switches into nightclub mode). Plates run between $15 and $30 dollars, though there is also a “Keiki” menu with options between $10 and $12 for children under 12-years-old."

"Where: Sheraton Waikiki, 2255 Kalakaua Ave, Honolulu, HI 96815, USA. Housed inside the Sheraton, RumFire is a posh, beachside lounge. Offering a blend of the international influence and a dash of the distinctive Hawaiin authenticity, RumFire is one of the favorite places in Honolulu, frequented by the tourists and the locals."

"Rumfire highlights global influences but with a distinctly Hawaiian focus. Their philosophy is that good times should be shared. Ignite the night as you sip on a tropical rum drink and enjoy the best views of Diamond Head and Waikiki."

"2570 Kalakaua Ave, Waikiki | Daily 7am-MidnightHappy Hour Daily 2-5pmLive Music Daily check schedule. Tiki’s Grill & Bar is a Hawaii-themed establishment situated on a beautiful lanai (balcony) at the Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel. It has a laidback vibe and super-fun cocktails served in ceramic tiki mugs, souvenir coconuts or tiki glass, all yours to keep!"

"Tiki’s Grill & Bar is a laidback, fun tiki-style restaurant. Pull up a seat on the expansive deck and enjoy a Pacific Rim menu with flavors of the islands!. Try Tiki’s famous coconut shrimp, guava glazed baby back ribs or an island watermelon salad."

"We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. {George Bernard Shaw} Enjoy a Watermelon ChiChi when you come visit with us!. Tiki’s Grill and Bar is located on the property of Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel."

"Indulge in some of the best beers in Hawaii when you visit Maui Brewing Company on Oahu. They have locations in Waikiki and Kailua, making a cold one convenient after a day of activities. Make sure to try out their food menu too, so that you can fuel yournext adventures with island-inspired cuisine!"

"At Maui Brewing Co. in Kihei, visitors can take hour-long tours of the brewhouse, cellar, and packaging line, then adjourn to the tasting room with views of Haleakala and Molokini. There, they can sample beers, ciders, wines, and specialty..."

"More than a grocery store, Foodland has amazing poke selections for you to enjoy!. If it’s your first time, ask for a sample before you order. Take it to the beach, and enjoy!"

"A Poke Bowl, Shoyu Ahi poke served over a bed of white rice, from Foodland Farms at the Ala Moana shopping center."

"Though it’s located on a small, cluttered lane near Ala Moana Center, the popular late-night sports bar serves a menu that lures even James Beard Award-winning chefs like Alan Wong. (Side Street Inn has a second location on Kapahulu Avenue that’s a bit more spacious and modern.) This unpretentious restaurant, run by Chef Colin Nishida, specializes in large, shareable plates of island comfort-food favorites, such as Hawaiian-style pulehu short ribs, Chinese-style crispy skin roast pork, steamed Manila clams with Portuguese sausage and bell peppers, and kimchi fried rice. The most-popular dish, though, is the pan-fried pork chops, which are crisped on the outside, juicy on the inside."

"Another local favorite, this eatery has two Honolulu locations. We walked from our rented Waikiki condo all the way around a golf course to get to this one, which is in an office building. We waited for a table on a busy evening."

"Murphy’s Bar and Grill is in Honolulu’s financial district, just one block away from the waterfront. This establishment, originally known as the Royal Hotel, has been around since 1891. It used to be a welcoming place for mariners, businessmen, locals and even royalty – in fact, King Kalakaua frequented the hotel."

"Every time I go there or call they're always sold out of almost every flavor. So unless u get up early..."

"Modo Hawai’i is located in the Mitsuwa Marketplace on the second floor of the International Marketplace, Waikiki. Mochi donuts are hard to find in the U.S, but are widespread in Hawaii. Mochi donuts are a bit chewier than regular donuts, but are still delicious!"

"Just before dusk at the Trump International Hotel’s sixth floor lounge, with the silhouette of palm trees against the horizon and twinkling cityscape, it almost feels as though you’re in a different city -- if not for the ocean view. Sliding, cherrywood-paneled doors separate the indoor bar from the open-air lanai, where white-cushioned sectionals and sleek café tables line the balcony. Inside, recessed lighting highlights the interior’s leather seats and black marble bar, where the backlit liquor collection features drips of absinthe."

"Besuchen Sie die Ocean View Lounge in Wai'olu für eine Einführung in die „flüssige Kunst“. Entdecken Sie kreative Getränkespezialitäten aus den besten und frischesten Zutaten und genießen Sie köstliche Tapas aus allen Regionen unter freiem Himmel."

"There are SO many great poke spots in Hawaii and it is be impossible to pick a "best" or "favorite." We love Ono Seafood for many reasons and it's been a go-to spot for years. It's conveniently located on Kapahulu Avenue (super close to Leonard's Bakery). Picture a tiny takeout spot with a few tables out front."

"If you are looking for something pretty casual, quick, and low cost, check out Ono Seafood. Not as much of an eatery, because they have limited seating, but more of a little store to pick up some prepared seafood or Hawaiian meals. A lot of locals eat here."

"Your visit to Oahu isn’t complete without a stop at Ono’s in Kaimuki. I love Spicy Ahi Poke and Hawaiian Style Ahi. (The parking lot is always full here.)"

"Roy Yamaguchi is one of the OG Hawaiian chefs responsible for putting Hawaiian fusion cuisine on the global culinary map. At the original Roy’s in Hawaii Kai, guests have enjoyed fresh Hawaiian fare in a contemporary setting with stunning views of Maunalua Bay for the last 25 years. Today, there are dozens of Roy’s around the islands and on the mainland."

"Even though I was told there was no guarantee we would get an outside table, we lucked out and got a..."
