What travelers are saying
- Ce1 contributionIncredible and wholesome and funny. A great time! We came during a bachelor/ette party and I was weary as to whether or not it would fit the occasion, but it has actually been really cool to see.Written March 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AzucenaFairview, OR102 contributionsThis was our first trip to Oahu and Mai Tai's was our first stop. We indulged in many Mai Tais and some food sprinkled in there, too.
Drinks- We ordered the $40 Ali'i Mai Tai, Lava Flow, Vics 44 Mai Tai, White Wash Mai Tai, and Royal Hawaiian Mai Tai. All our favorites were, of course, the Ali'i Mai Tai and our 2nd favorite was the White Wash.
Food- We ordered The Truffle Parm Fries, Short Rib Loco Moco, and Garlic Shrimp. Every dish was outstanding.
Views- The restaurant sits right on Waikiki Beach with views of Diamond Head. We were lucky to get a seat right in the front with all the views.
All 4 of us said we would definitely visit Mai Tai's again.Written March 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We have attended his comedy show everytime we are lucky to travel to Honolulu and the Hale Koa Hotel. His show provides a fun experience at the Warrior's Lounge and is not to be missed. There's nothing like laughing out loud, eating great pupus and drinking a Mai Tai to enhance your vacation!Written September 24, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jenny FGroveland, Illinois, United States107 contributionsOne bartender was super friendly, talkative and sang.. Other was busy and more aloof.. The atmosphere is colorful, Asian-inspired paired with warm, dark Dive Bar feel. Excellent drinks made with fresh ingredients that have cutesy-sexy names....and of course the karaoke...excellent sound system, plenty of TVs. You have to have a smart phone and you look up song number that way and hand slip to bartender. I heard one person mention it costs money to sing but I failed to check before I closed out. I had a lychee martini of sorts and it was DELISH. This is my go-to for karaoke because I have a small one back home that I love plus this is close to my hotel :) Their merch is amazing too...T-shirts that say REALLY BIG WANG or REALLY LITTLE WANG haha.Written June 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- WictoTucson, AZ157 contributionsAs a self acclaimed aficionado of Dive Bars, I sought out this literal hole in the wall bar down a narrow alley off Kalakua Ave. Some essential elements of a Dive Bar (in this case dive cocktail lounge) that are apparent at Arnold’s are: entrance down a narrow alley, small, and the pièce de résistance – having a certain phantasmagoric quality, in this case a life size naked hula girl sculpture. They have seating for maybe 20 people tops in an inside/outside setting. Arnold’s has very friendly staff and bar tenders that make great tropical cocktails. They have a large flat screen to enjoy the game de jour. Definitely recommend stopping by.Written October 1, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- EmptyNesterMomNorthwestern New Jersey135 contributionsSaw Mike Smith Big Band with several guest vocalists. Bought premium area seats and arrived early to get comfortable booth seating with good view of stage. Dinner service was very good. Mai Tai, dinner and dessert were great! Entertainment was lively, good and a lot of fun. I would go again.Written November 2, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CNWgtnNZWellington, New Zealand1,141 contributionsWe have been all over to many hard rock cafes and we always get merchandise and a highlight is going every time we come to Honolulu.The ribs were amazing as usual unfortunately the salmon was overcooked -but I think the chefs were having an off night as one of our steaks was also not done to order, in NZ we know our beef and steak so this would not be acceptable back home. Brent our waiter was amazing and helped as much as he could and offered us to fire up our steak and brought fries over while we waited unfortunately the refired steak was still very rare and so he offered us a new steak.He also gave us a free sundae and fresh fruit and then we did not have to pay for the steak.(however we got charged for 2 strawberry daiquiris we hadn’t ordered so by then we just paid)Despite this, it will not put us off Hard Rock because everyone’s allowed a bad night. I’m disappointed to say 3/5 for food last night but I made it a 4 because of our waiter and the service.Written January 18, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jr73 contributionsCapacity wise the Lewers Lounge (Jazz) is small. We arrived shortly before the doors opened at 8:00PM. and there was a lot of people waiting. They all rushed and grabbed the best seats. We were tourists and assumed we would be seated one at a time..but veteran traveller's must know to get there early to get the best seat. We sat at the bar..had drinks only..you could order a light meal of you wished. Music was ok..
.I'd you like the jazz standards. The vocal also played piano and was accomplished by another musician who played various horns. All in all..very relaxing.

Outside was sunny and hot but felt great. Special happy hour menu with drinks and appetizers. Mai Tai and a pineapple drink were great! Edaname portion was huge! Also had the pork tacos which were yummy. Would return just for the view.Written October 16, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Maria OOakland, CA1,111 contributionsThis is such a cool place to stop when biking or walking along the Waikiki shoreline. We were riding our bikes and discovered that they were open again! Since our last visit, they added more tables and umbrellas to enjoy the view. This place is totally laid back casual and if you are feeling hot, you can just walk a few feet and jump in the water. Great mai tai's on
the waterfront makes for a very relaxing stop. They don't serve much food, just hot dogs and chips but its all about the view and cocktails!Written January 22, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Pretty lively in the evenings packed with dinner crowds.
Many buses that go along Ala Moana Boulevard with get us there stopping at Ala Moana Boulevard + Coral Street. Bus 20 is one that goes that way.Written March 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
