    Kona Big Wave!
    Pat M.

    Kimo, the bartender whipped up some mighty fine cocktails . This bar sits DIRECTLY on the water, can't get any closer without falling in.

    Battery Randolph behind it. Go in there!!

    Save some money! Koa oasis is attached to the hale Koa hotel. For servicemen and women you get a great price and for regular Joe haoles it's still a good deal. I think the mai tai were 12 bucks. Usually around 18 bucks down the street or at the hotels or more . And they're good drinks too and the bartenders are nice people. The customers are great. The military folks are in shape, the place is well run. Go to the US Army museum up the hill. It's free and it's awesome. I love that battery Randolph & the history of the whole thing. They have a good hotdog there and it's inexpensive. I forget what the other food is but the whole thing is great. You sit there and look at the ocean and enjoy your dranks from the tables. The more I think about it it's really a can't miss if you're staying at Hawaiian Village you just walk right over there, they open at 11. Aloha! Five stars.

    Sunset at Koa Oasis Hale Koa Beach, Honolulu, Hawaii

    This spot has the best relaxing views away from busy Waikiki. It's also a great date spot, or just a nice place to relax and watch the catermaran boats drift on & off shore. This place has the most Awesome service and the best hospitality on the island by Kimo! Mahalo's!

    It doesn't get better than this - a pretty drink watching a gorgeous sunset! We got really lucky with scoring the last table, and I got the mango flow, which is a little twist on the normal strawberry puree for a lava flow. It was delicious! For our second round, I got the sunset lemonade and my husband got the lava flow. Kimo was so friendly! This will be one of my guaranteed evening plans every time I'm in Waikiki!

    Easy to find! Right on the beach front. An extension of the hale koa hotel. Sweet bartender, good quality drinks at decent prices. Great place to watch the waves & have a drink!

    as you walk by this place admiring the beautiful surroundings, do yourself a favor and sit down here and enjoy a mai tai. Yes i know, but trust me on this one .. quick service, great drinks, aloha!

    Frozen mai tai
    Rohith V.

    We came to hangout on the beach and saw this place right on the boardwalk. Went with a frozen mai tai and it did not disappoint. Really tasty and low price! They closed by the time I could go back for a second drink sadly but highly recommend!

    Walked 3.5 miles from the port to go to a locals beach bar. It is exactly that. Beautiful view of the waves. Totally enjoying this place!

    Mango Flow
    Crystalyn M.

    Amazing view, atmosphere, drinks and service. The gentleman cooking and serving drinks was also very diligent about sanitizing the tables and providing excellent customer service. I had a Mai Tai and Mango Flow. Both were delicious. He also sent the drinks off with a cup of ice water, which is so thoughtful. You can't beat this view and price. There are other beachfront bars around, but this is right at the edge of the water. The music was very aloha. It's extremely convenient to be close to the restrooms also.

    Fun little beachside bar in the Waikiki area! We stopped to get pina coladas and we were not disappointed! I got a mango flow (pina colada with mango puree) and loved it. It was a refreshing drink after being at the beach for a while with a great view! This place has outside seating in front of the beach for customers. The gentleman behind the stand was very nice too!

    Such fun at this little cocktail stand with a patio area. Right on Waikiki Beach. We grabbed a couple of Blue Hawaiians and a hot dog after a morning of swimming and just hanging out at the beach. Such friendly staff and a great atmosphere. It was a nice relaxing afternoon. Would highly recommend.

    Piña colada with spiced rum float

    Mahalo is the only word that can describe the vibes and generosity that Kimo treated us with. If you want great drinks, a good hot dog and an amazing view with good music... oh and the best bartender... Kimo!

My friend and I had actually meant to go to The Dragon Upstairs which is the bar upstairs (yeah we missed that in the name... LOL) but we walked into Hanks instead. This place is THE definition of a local dive bar. There was a lovely entertainer singing some hilarious songs on the guitar, the most random, interesting, and hilarious group of locals seated at the bar, someone's dog sleeping in the corner, and of course a fantastic hot bartender that keeps you there and keeps everyone drinking!! We met so many interesting people that night and had a blast. Stayed there way longer than expected and definitely stayed through many more rounds of drinks than expected. But in true dive bar fashion, it didn't break our bank which we loved!! Accidentally stumbling upon Hanks was the best mistake we could have ever made and I can't wait to go back if I'm in Honolulu again! Truly a gem!

Let me drop some history bombs on you folks - There are only 12 survivors left alive from the infamous day of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. 12!!!!!

Wanna know where your granny's and uncle's hooch was coming from during the Roaring 20's guess wheeeeeere? Cuz this bar still has the trap door that lets you to gueeees where - you you know it a harbor!!!!! The barkeep there gave me a very good intro of the entire history - test there was a brothel upstairs (most bars did to appease the lonely mil folk before going off to war - or even earlier) The floors is original - so is the thick glass for the actual bar. What my barkeep also informed me - was each naval ship had their own designated bar. This particulate one was designated to the USS Arizona. so when you go have yer beverage here - tread carefully, you just might've walking on the very same floor your grandfather, great uncle or great grandfather did . Do NOT disrespect this sacred place! Oh by the bay the day have really cool shirts. They also run an operation to donate to those in need. ask the barkeep for details. When you go here use yer utmost respect - and do not desecrate this place. Consider this sacred ground! for those who passed before us!!! And if you happen to spill a lil bit of beer or whatever yer drinking - that's a term of respect for the ancestors. But please respect the historical significance. Enjoy

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.
