    We loved Cuckoo Coconuts! We popped in for a drink and were not disappointed. The mai tai was delicious, and the presentation in an actual pineapple made it much more special. There was a fun dad band playing yacht rock. The place is well-maintained and clean. We didn't order food, but all the tables around us were devouring bar bites that looked tasty. I would definitely recommend going out of your way to try this spot if you're in Waikiki.

    I had an out-of-town visitor who really wanted a pina colada in a pineapple and I figured we'd visit Tiki's Meeting Spot near my house and get one. Come to find out Tiki's literally had closed a few days earlier so headed over to this similar establishment. Tiki's used to do happy hour specials so I was hoping Cuckoo Coconuts would be similar, but our server said sadly, no happy hour prices here. Full price cocktails it will be then! They are a bit on the higher side but I do feel like they give you your drink's worth--there's enough alcohol to feel like you're drinking a cocktail, not just a slushy. My chi-chi was tasty, although not as coconutty or creamy as I thought it might be. My friend enjoyed her $26 pina colada in a pineapple shell, and the presentation was great, with the top on the pineapple and a little paper umbrella. My husband got an Amaretto sour and it was good. Live musicians were tuning up while we were here and there's a decibel reader nearby, presumably because it may get loud here. Nice place to go if you want a tiki-style drink in a casual environment. I will say that I am going to miss Tiki's Meeting Spot's happy hour prices and I can't do $17 cocktails all too often.

    Chill bar with tasty frozen drinks. Quick service with various drink options and some good eats as well. Looks like there's a band section but they weren't playing when we went earlier in the day. Would come again for another freezey drink!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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 !!

    Lilly is amazing!! Soo nice.. Amazing bartender! 10/10 recommend. Drinks are soo good. The place is wonderfully decorated w a live band! Highly recommend visiting

    Fish and chips, coconut shrimp, and calamari
    Lulu W.

    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.

    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!

    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.

But, we were pleasantly impressed by the food and our server Maka. We were seated at an outside table by a host, but it was hot. We asked if we could be changed to an inside table, but the host told us we would have to go back to the host stand and wait for another table. Our party of 7 decided to stay where we were. Then our server, Maka came with water and introduced himself . He asked if we wanted to switch tables because it was hot. He was very perceptive and he was able to change our table. We knew from that point we had an awesome server. During our time at Tikis, Maka thoroughly explained the menu to us and gave excellent food recommendations. He came by to check on us throughout our meal to see if everything was good and if we needed anything. We were appreciative of his kindness. The food was great! The coconut shrimp and kalua pork quesadillas were delicious. The guava ribs were fall off the bone good! Our table also ordered the coconut chicken and volcano wings. All the items were very tasty. We even received chicken taro, compliments from the chef, which made of feel real special. TIP: Go during Happy Hour to try samples of their appetizers at a good price!

The server didn't come for about 10 minutes where I asked to be moved. I was moved to a covered table and we got a new server where we promptly ordered. My sons kids meal came out and his tenders were actually delicious as well as the fries . My food took over 20 minutes to arrive only after I made eye contact with my server and he rushed to the back to grab my food, I'm guessing he had forgotten about it because my short rib arrived cold. Like literally cold to the touch. The mashed potatoes were warm and those were great as well as the veggies . I didn't complain because nobody ever came back to check us on or offer a refill or anything . To pay was a hassle also as they only had 1 server helping and he was tied up with a big table for over 20 minutes that was arguing how to split up a bill. I eventually flagged down a bartender and she went and grabbed my original server from the back. The whole night things kept going wrong . I did have a mai tai earlier in the day from their happy hour which was great but dinner is a no-go for me here now.

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. Hope you all had fun this holiday season!
