    The place
    Paul B.

    Went to this spot on recommendation of a DL flight attendant. They have live music at 7p. Got here at 600p and was dead. By 7p pretty rocking. The band plays oldies and are are more than competitive! It's a dive bar in paradise! Down the block is Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany's... you get the neighborhood. Ordered the Real Pina Colada served in a real pineapple and were fantastic! Ok at $26 they should be and were. Started with calamari. A little rubbery but still ate them! Their horseradish cocktail sauce made them a lot better. Then ordered a Mai Tai. When in the islands! Y Not! It was not the most memorable I have had. Would pass I future. The Hawaiian fish and chips were plentiful but more importantly just plain Outstanding! The garlic shrimp also excellent. If you are looking for "fancy" this ain't it. But fun it is!

    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

    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.

    Well Shot Pineapple Pina Colada

    Came here for the fruit pineapple pina colada and it was perfect! The service was great and the ambiance is really nice especially with the live music!

    Spicy Garlic Shrimp

    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 !!

    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..

    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.

    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!

    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.

I would go back and request her as my server every time. The host was also lovely and friendly and sat us at a perfect table outside overlooking the ocean. I can't say enough great things about the service we had at Tiki's. To drink, I had a Lava Flow (I had to) and my husband had the most delicious Painkiller - it even came with an actual syringe of rum to add to it, which he loved. I would go back for the Painkiller alone! For food, we shared a kalua pork quesadilla - very tasty - and their house salad which had a delicious passion fruit dressing and mandarin slices which was really refreshing. We wanted a nice light lunch and this hit the spot. Highly recommend Tiki's if you are in Waikiki and want a relaxing meal with a great view and terrific service!! Ask for Lucy!

Thankfully we got here before the line got long and the room itself felt pretty stuffy since it was packed, so my family and I moved to a corner with the AC where it was cooler and had less people so it gave us more breathing room. Tips: There's free validated parking for 3 hours, use the restroom before going into the bar since you have to get back in line if you leave the bar, and have only one person in your party wait up front for your drinks since it's crowded near the bartenders.
