First and foremost, Sam and Kate were my bartenders and they were awesome! Very personable, fun, and efficient. I will say, though... $10 for a Guinness seems a bit excessive. Per "Finance Buzz" just last month (May 2025), the most expensive cost for Guinness is in California averaging about $9.35 per draft -- Hawaii's average is $8.25... there's nothing that irritates me more than unnecessary and greedy price increases... ESPECIALLY when you expect me to drink it out of plastic cups. Guinness deserves glass, and they should know this as an IRISH PUB! The ambiance is fun and pub-by; feeling more like something I'd find in Chicago than Hawaii. The atmosphere was perfect for the jazz music that played. read more

Anna O'Brien's - Music Venues Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Have been to Anna's a couple of times recently to watch my husband's gigs. Great place to go and watch live music! They don't serve any food, but they do allow outside food to be brought in. Everyone from the door guy to the peeps behind the bar are very friendly. read more

The beer and music are great!! Nice employees! What's better than that?? The pool table and darts are downstairs, and the music and main bar are upstairs. read more

Anna O'Brien's - drinks with their light up ice cubes - Music Venues Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

It has been a while since I've been here! Met the owner, Bill, at a Friday night live music show. I didn't know he was thee Bill Comerford, because I always wanted to do his whiskey tasting at O'Tooles. What an amazing and interesting experience! Bill explains the history and origin of whiskey, and how each one we tasted was made and where it was from. We sampled six different whiskys, each one so unique. Apparently Bill has a whiskey club which is pretty cool. The tasting is $35, but as a member it's only $25. There was also food to snack on while tasting, and it was a fun group of people. Definitely worth checking out! Mahalo Bill and Anna! read more

This is such a chill place to go too and they have pool and darts here as well. I like that you don't have to dress up to come here. They have an indoor and an outdoor portion, so it's rather spacious and nice to be able to walk inside/outside too. Sometimes they have live DJs here as well which is always fun. The bartenders are really friendly and welcoming, and they always get my drinks quickly which is much appreciated. Yummy drinks as well, and they always have a drink of the month! read more

If I could rate a zero star I would. They denied my buddy's ID when it was 1000% real. Then when I gave them mine to compare, they said "we don't care if it's real or not, you're not coming in". No reason, just claimed we had one guy with a fake ID. Totally unprofessional would not recommend to my worst enemy read more

I love Anna's! Walking distance from where I live, attend the bar multiple times a week. Shadow the manager is the best (make sure to always say hi to him if you see him)! Chad, Craig, and Sam are the best bartenders on the island of Oahu, so charismatic and personable! They make my night whenever I go out! The drinks are amazing and affordable. Small local bar but the music upstairs rocks and the games downstairs can be even better! Highly recommend coming here ! read more

Terrible, don't use credit cards, especially at clubs or bars, they really take advantage of people and overcharge them when using credit cards, luckily I checked my bank satatement and it said they charged me $25 dollars for one drink like wtf??? I assume it's the cost of the drink plus the $15 but whatever it is, it was a clear scam. read more

Terrible experience at this bar. Very disappointing service and the server/manager are homophobic.

Went here on a Thursday night and the bar was packed and pumping. Great energy. Unfortunately, the mood was limited by the DJ's poor song selection. As an artist myself, I understand the urge to stay true to your individual style. However, when we're performing at a bar or a club we must remember that our ultimate goal is to please the customer, and our own preferences come second. To that end, when building a set list, we should mix in songs that are actually good and that people want to hear. Very few of the songs met that criteria last night. My constructive criticism for the DJ would be to incorporate Papa Roach's hit single Last Resort into your setlist. This song is incredibly versatile and works in pretty much any setlist from Latin house to emo pop. What's more, it's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser and will get the people going every time. read more

Went there on the past Saturday, ordered a pint of Blue Moon, nothing else ! Sat around for awhile, sipping my beer, kind of just people watching, listening to music playing, just enjoying the evening ! When I finished my beer, by the way, the only one I ordered and consumed, I asked for the tab. I got the tab, which had $8 for the beer. I left a $3 cash tip and paid my tab. I'm assuming that I've charged the $8 that was on my receipt. The next day, I look up my bank statement and find that I had charged $25 for my tab ! I didn't write down a $17 tip ! Someone apparently gave themselves 190% tip ! Wasn't me ! Unless they had a minimum $25 charge for using a debit card, which wasn't posted anywhere that I could see, I feel like this is like stealing ! read more

Terrible customer service . The bartender served the people he found cute first while we waited at the bar for over 15 minutes. We tried getting his attention and he completely ignored us. He saw us waiting we made eye contact several times. Won't be back read more

This place especially the bouncer with a beard is awful. He denied my real ID and then would not let me get it back unless I paid him cash because I didn't want to get the police involved. I've been to this place numerous times before and because I look young got denied entrance and forced to pay for my ID back. read more

Anna O'Briens is my favorite place on this entire island. Sam, Chad, Craig, and Shadow are the only people getting me through college. They are all so kind and genuine, they will make your day 10000x better. Also fire drinks. My friends and I come to this bar multiple times a week. Great drinks. Great people. Great music. Highly recommend! BEST bar on the island. BEST bar in the world. Hot girls LOVE Anna's. read more

The owner of this bar fails to understand a key concept of a dive bar. Cheap drinks. The bar is very small and dingy. Fine. The actual wooden bar can only seat five or six people. Notso fine. A glass of Guiness costs a whopping $9, and it's a small glass! Less than a pint. They charge $15 for a shot of scotch. That's a load of shite? read more

Good shows but recently got terrible service- charged $19 for a well vodka soda. Bartender was super rude, took my card and didn't give me a receipt. Had a feeling she was going to tip herself heavily and yeah -their well drinks are supposed to be around $10 read more

Watching Kate bartend is like watching pornography, they are that good and pleasant to be around..Sierra is also a very good bartender and knows exactly what I want. They have live music the owners are friendly even when I make them jealous, I just wish they had a kitchen. Hail Satan. read more

This is a longtime local hangout. Name has changed a bit. But it is the "local" with a music venue you want. No food but there are places near by. Chill place to hangout. And they have a second floor music scene and a patio with a dj. read more

Best drinks in town. As long as Kate is the bartender this is a great place to visit in Waikiki.

This place is horrible, don't go there if you want people that are underage, not 21, we are talking 19 year olds a with fakes go here. On top of it. I'm a paying customer spent prolly around $300 on a Thursday night at the bar then 1:40 rolls around and I let them know I have to use the restroom. I'm on my way to pee. They get physical with me because I tell them I need to use the rest room at 1:45 before I head out. Then they decide to grab me because I had to use the restroom, say I'm creating a scene. Bro when people have to pee they have to pee. The bar doesn't close until the 2:00am that standard business operating procedures. I'm contemplating suing. Then throw me into the fence. On top of the fact that when I said I lost my shoe in the midst of them physically assaulting me, the bald headed bar tender thought it was funny to throw it out on the street when I politely looked him in the eyes and said may I have my shoe. Honestly if it weren't for the fact that they were continuously harboring minors they would be out of business. Don't go to this place. read more
