    We went on the rainiest of Fridays, trying to make the best of the storm. The servers had raincoats, and despite the rain, kindness and smiles. We had drinks in pineapples and excellent chicken "stripes". The live music was excellent.

    Pina colada
    Priyanka S.

    We decided to come to Cuckoo after a night of lazing on the beach and it was surprising one of the few bars that was open past 8:30pm. At first sight the bar looks super fun and inviting, almost looking like a themed tiki bar. There was no line surprisingly however and we were seated instantly but inside there were tons of people and a live performance taking place which made the atmosphere too loud to have a conversation. Once we were seated we decided to order a Pina colada and share as well as some onion rings. Unfortunately the onion rings fell flat and were overly battered, and the Pina colada while aesthetic and served in a whole pineapple, lacked flavor and was not that sweet. We ended up heading out pretty soon after the drink/bites were done as we could barely have a conversation and hear each other. We left quite unsatisfied after the experience and ended up ordering some uber eats to our hotel later, as most places near us were closed.

    Fish and chips, coconut shrimp, and calamari

    Tourist here: I have no complaints... We had no wait time, service was incredible fast, and the food was fresh... it's a Fun vibe inside or I guess I should say outside as it's just a bunch of tents... we got the calamari, fish and chips, coconut shrimp which all was soo good... I might have to say the fish and chips was by far the best.. they used sea bass and had a light buttery flavored batter.. I also got the virgin pina colada and it was soo good, more pineapple flavored which I was down with... Highly recommend, esp to get away from all the resort people..

    Spicy Garlic Shrimp
    Drew F.

    If you are crazing a fresh and hard hitting pina colda Cuckoo Coconuts Waikiki is a must for your next trip to Honolulu !!! They serve it in a full size pineapple fresh from the island so you get that irresistible fresh pineapple and refreshing coconut with dark and light rum. The food hit the spot as well with the spicy garlic shrimp having a lot of flavor and the jalapeño poppers were fried perfect and felt like a Super Bowl party exactly what I was craving. This place is all about the island vibes with a casual and fun environment with live music and a friendly service that got me what I needed quickly. I will be back next time I'm in Waikiki !!

    Such an Amazing Experience coming here, the food was Delicious also the drinks were Good! This is such a great place to go with friends little one enjoyed it! But not my daughter with Autism it was to loud and overstimulating for her. We came here with family so we didnt just want to leave, my daughter did eventually start liking it but just a heads up to anyone with noise sensitive kiddo it is loud. But other than that there live music and the band was playing good music ! Really enjoyed my experience here!!! And really good service they automatically added there tip which wasn't a big problem for us because we didnt have a big party lol

    Seemed to be the only dive bar in Waikiki beach. Good live music and fun cocktails even in a pineapple. Garlic shrimp was better than expected. The fried food didn't have much taste to it.

    Teriyaki Chicken
    Kyle C.

    Great location downtown quaint little dive spot with great music. Service was absolutely outstanding. The food was pretty good for the price. I got the spicy poke bowl and my wife got the teriyaki chicken rice bowl. Both were delicious.

    Hawaiian burger and onion rings
    Iryna N.

    Pretty nice place. We went around 5pm and it was pretty empty. Food is good and drinks are tasty. It is not a fancy place at all though, chairs are plastic, cups for cocktails are plastic. However what I liked were sauces. Many big bottles so you don't have to ask for refills.

    Pineapple
    Luisa R.

    One of my favorite nights on the island, and that's saying a lot. Whenever you want to take a break from the phenomenal fancy bites on the island, this is the place to unwind for some great bar food and live band! The pina colada in a pineapple is a MUST! One of the best pinas I've ever had and they definitely don't skimp on the alcohol like other places.

    Great vibes overall! This is what I would imagine a tiki bar in Oahu. There's a live band that plays 1-2 hours before closing. It's pretty idealistically located 1-2 walking distance min away from the main tourist streets. There are many tables and it's great for groups and couples to wind down for the night but to keep a good buzz for the night. Great bar food and curated drinks to fit the tiki theme. Blue Hawaiian: On the light sweeter side. More of an alcoholic pineapple flavor. Mai Tai: Sweeter than the blue Hawaiian. Great fruity and safe drink to get if you want a sweeter alcohol. Very refreshing!

    Band
    Mike M.

    This is a wonderful live music venue. Great drinks and an excellent vibe. Servers are awesome, with quick service. The Monday night band was great (see various posted clips). This is a must for any live music fan.

    This is a fun place to get Hawaiian cocktails & food. Great live band but only drawback is no dancing allowed. We just sang along & swayed in our seats. We'll be back next time we visit Oahu.

Now, we make it a point to stop for drinks and apps every time we visit. This time we had the Truffled Edamame and the Kalbi Venison Gyoza. Now to the funny part. I went to leave a review because our experience was great again, but was surprised when I opened yelp to find one already typed out. At first I thought it was an AI suggestion. All this to say, Tiki's is a must if you're walking down Waikiki! There's also FREE 3-hour parking downstairs when you visit. Tom told us of the daily happy hour from 2-5 and late night, and occasionally live music! Original visit (2021): We left the beach in search of a cool place to grab a bite and enjoy some beers! Tiki was the perfect spot! Our wait was short and our food came out quick! Our bartenders Marteen (sp?) and Kama not only provided excellent service, but were a pleasure to talk to! We had the Ahi Poke, the French Dip Sandwich and the Kalua Pig BBQ Sandwich. The BBQ sandwich came out on a taro bun and smothered in guava BBQ! It was our favorite! Forgot to snap a pic before devouring our food, but if you find yourself in the area it's a must stop!

They were all incredible, but the Macadamia Crusted Fish and Teriyaki Salmon were the standouts. I would go back here again in a heart beat, it was so delicious. This is a great place to sit on a patio and look out at the beautiful sun and ocean while enjoying amazing food!
