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.
Disgusting Customer Service got here at 11:10 PM and he proceeded to tell me that they are closed and we cannot enter. Mind you were not even going for food just for a quick drink . We asked them when last call is he said last call is now so I said so can we get a drink? He said no we're closing and I said, but online it says you're open till midnight. He says I don't know what you're talking about. We close at 1130 I said well you guys should update that and he gave me a sarcastic attitude like yeah right. Pathetic excuse for a place that will close early when the entire night is busy. It's very clear that only lazy people work here no interest in actually running a real business.. so if you expect a business to actually honor their hours, do not come here would give -10. Stars if I could..
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!
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!
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.
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
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.
My cousins and I had a lovely evening at Cuckoo's during our vacation in Hawaii! We were excited to try the piña coladas and they did not disappoint! We unfortunately left our wallet at Cuckoos and had to travel the next day. The team at Cuckoos was so kind to return the wallet and mail it to us to California. We are so grateful and cannot wait to return to a Cuckoos when we come back to Hawaii!
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
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..

The live music, lights, and fun atmosphere instantly put us in vacation mode. It was packed, so we ended up sitting in the back, but honestly, it was still so worth it! We grabbed a few drinks and snacks, and I got one of the giant pineapples to drink out of - it was a fun experience and made the whole night feel extra tropical. If you're looking for a place with great vibes, live entertainment, and an upbeat atmosphere without it feeling like a nightclub - Cuckoo Coconuts is worth a visit. It's a fun spot to relax, and soak in that energy! read more

We stumbled upon this spot and it was so lively for a Monday! They have live music a few times a week. We met the singer who has been performing for decades and is super friendly. Staff is also friendly and visibly hardworking. We only had some onion rings and a beer which were 10/10. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Get the real pina colada! It comes in a big pineapple for $26 and it's so worth it. The place also has live music and the service is amazing as the servers are fast and attentive. I loved coming here during my stay, it felt so relaxing and just vibed to the music while eating food. We also got the fish and chips and the cheeseburger which are big portions as well, worth the bucks! Go here!!! :) read more

It's a local/dive bar, by my standards (that's a plus for me) Sunday evening we walked right in. Greeted warmly, and offered a table. I asked if we could move to a table since it was hot inside and they had tables with fans overhead. Thank goodness!! Local beer on draft $7.50. Live music. Cool band playing 70's and 80's tunes. We did not eat. It's bar menu items. They have a strict NO Dancing allowed at all... I asked our waiter why the NO dancing. It's posted everywhere, and the band mentioned it anyone gets up to dance they have to stop playing. The reason was because of Covid, and management left it that way. Lots of picture ops!!!! Jerry, Jerry, Jerry...... read more

This was the worst "MaiTai" we encountered during a week visit to Waikiki. It was so bad that we only had a few sips before abandoning it despite paying $16 for a drink served in a plastic cup. It was not only NOT a MaiTai, it tasted like sewage. Additionally the bar offers live music which makes conversation impossible but also has a ban on dancing. The server took forever to get back to us and didn't ask how everything was because I'm sure she knew it was awful. The only good thing about the experience was the slice of fresh pineapple garnish. Take a picture with the large Tiki out front and then keep walking until you get to the Hideout at LayLow where you can get a proper cocktail. read more

Mahalo for coming in and enjoying the liveliness.
We hear live music emanating from this establishment the night before, so we decided to give it a go. Live music is from 7:00-10:00pm, and it is LOUD. If anyone in your party is sensitive to loud noises then they shouldn't come during this timeframe. The menu is very limited, so you may want to review what they offer to see if it's right for you. Below are the items we had: Chicken wings *** Teriyaki chicken bowl *** Salad with teriyaki chicken *** (they give a lot of chicken but the bell peppers are just chopped and not de-seeded) Coconut shrimp (not pictured) **** Hot dog (not pictured) **** Our server was nondescript--so I will say service was average. I like the vibe here with the music but I'd probably just come for drinks and a good time. read more
