    **This is a review for the experience, it is not for the food. My friend wanted to go to SKY for her birthday, so I made a reservation for sunset. After reading the reviews, I opted for drinks and apps, and booked dinner elsewhere. Our table had a nice view, though to take a photo with the sunset, there is only a small corner where this can be done. Our service was good, and the drinks came out quickly. We shared the charcuterie board, which was fine, but just okay for the price. We came on a beautiful evening and it was lovely to sit on the rooftop with good friends and drinks, enjoying the view. I think the experience was great based on our planning and expectations.

    The coconut girl was way too sweet! I like sweet but this was cloying. I couldn't even taste the alcohol unfortunately. The prosciutto was good but we were expecting local fruits, this didn't hit the mark. Finally, we had a reservation and weren't even seated with a view. The food was meh. I recommend skipping this place if you're visiting.

    VIEWS - and a great sunset is what's up at Sky Waikīkī! We came here for oysters and champagne and it was a beautiful day . Special shout out to Damian for always being so welcoming and inviting! Highly recommend asking for his section whenever you are here . Great vibes always !! Will be back !!

    We went for happy hour and the food was solid - good prices. The appetizers were great and there were many options. The appeal of the location was primarily the view and ambiance. Service was solid and we got great seats to see most of Waikiki. Enjoyed our time here.

    If you are in Honolulu, this is the one place you need to check out! Food was great. We didn't take a pic of our wing dings but it was delicious. The ladies who served us was great! If you go to the women's restroom, make sure you Venmo or to tip the Nana so gives you an assortment of bathroom goodies! Fun place to just chill, celebrate a birthday or just have fun here in the 808!

    Celebrated a friend's birthday here at Sky. It's a rooftop spot with stunning panoramic views. There were a lot of groups there, so it's a great place for birthdays, reunions, or any kind of gathering. The staff were attentive and made sure we were taken care of throughout the night. The food portions varied depending on the dish, but overall it was a fun, lively place to celebrate with friends while enjoying the beautiful Waikiki skyline.

    OVERALL: food was disappointing as were the views FOOD: overcooked short ribs with sauce that tastes like ketchup, bad octopus that was overcooked and had random pieces of spam and a black sauce that added no value. Small portions but enough for two to share. Mocktails were great. SERVICE: hostesses were great--super friendly and helpful. I had an interaction with a waitress waiting on a table next to mine who was so rude. She was a young blonde with a high braided ponytail. Our actual waitress was friendly and professional though. VENUE: very small. You only get a decent view if you're sitting in the area in front of the bar and even then all you get is a view of buildings. Everyone else sits along the glass wall with views of the parking lot. Pretty sure all the review about the views are fake having now been there. It is also hard to find the place but it's next to the H&M

    By far my favorite rooftop bar in Waikiki. Great entertainment, solid drinks, good food and excellent service. The best views of Waikiki. Vibes and energy here are amazing!!!

    We arrived early for our reservations but were sat promptly. We were greeted by Damian and he was an amazing server. He brought out some water and allowed us sometime to go over the menu. He was very welcoming and friendly! I loved the vibe up there. The skyline was lit by the surrounding buildings, the music was relaxing and beautiful, and the breeze was refreshing. Shout out to the musician there. His voice was so smooth and velvety and his guitar playing was amazing. I loved every second. I ordered a strawberry mojito and tried the espresso martini. I enjoyed the mojito. It was refreshing. The espresso was a bit strong on the espresso side but still enjoyed. I'd definitely come back.

    A sleek rooftop bar with stunning views and a laid-back upscale vibe. The sushi is fresh, beautifully presented, and genuinely standout, while the cocktails are creative and well-balanced. Service is attentive without feeling over the top. Pricey, but absolutely worth it for the full experience.

    We came here for the view, Happy Hour, small bites, and of course their Mai Tai's. The view was amazing exactly what we expected. It was extremely hot, so the waitress offered us an umbrella. The umbrella was awkward because you had to hold it with one hand and eat with the other hand. So we chose to move our table to the shade. We ordered the wings and truffle fries. The wings were okay, it wasn't what I expected. Not a lot of seasoning, bland and no dipping sauce. The truffle fries lived up to their name. Crispy, nicely plated and a nice blend of cheese. I really don't know what to say about their Mai Tai. It wasn't the best Mai Tai and it wasn't the worst. It was on the sweeter side but it was okay. This place is excellent for the view and maybe some of their entrees but it's not a good choice for Happy Hour.

    So what's cool about the Sky is the oysters, you can buy as many as you want. Want 1 get 1. First time I've been to a restaurant that allows you to order just one oyster. The spicy margarita was so good my friend said she wanted to bathe in it! LOL The fries were good. The poke nachos, wow! I would have liked bigger pieces of ahi but still the bomb. Sushi roll was ok. My only complaint- and I think this is totally fixable for them, you have to have a reservation..... we sat down and she asked us to move because it was reserved. There isn't much seating. The only tables not reserved are directly in the sun. No umbrellas, no shade. So you'll either be standing and eating or in direct sunlight. Other than that this place was incredible

    Sky Christmas bar menu

    Cute Christmas bar set up - the decorations are very festive, and the drinks as well! Bartender was friendly and helpful with recommendations. Would be nice to have more chairs and tables available. Could also get hot at times, but it is an open layout with some breeze. There is a photo booth available to use at a cost. I got the Mistletoe Margarita and personally felt like it was a -little- strong for me, but it was the best drink from the ones I sampled of my friends' (sangria and minty mischief). Had a good time here!

    SKY Waikiki Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - SKY Waikiki

    What music genres is played there?

    Does this turn into a club after restaurant hours?

    Yes, with free entry if you had dinner there

    Is there a cover charge and dress code (can shorts be worn) for the club?

    There is a cover charge of about $20 dollars and the dress code is formal so no shorts.

    Hi, Need reservation for Saturday night? Tks.

    100% get a reservation! We were seated very quickly but it was very busy!

    Can kids dine?

    I feel like when I was there there were some quiet, well behaved well dressed children there with their posh looking parents...I'd say best behavior is probably the standard because most people don't want to hear kids screaming or running around at… Read more

    Is this the revolving restaurant?

    Top of Waikiki was the revolving restaurant, located above Sky Waikiki. They have been closed since the pandemic.

    Do we need to have reservation? Or is it first come first serve?

    I highly recommend reservations but they have some seating for walk-in's

    Are Kids allowed?

    I have been there twice with young children (4-6 year olds). It wasn't a problem at all but perhaps because they were happily sitting and not loud.

    Is there a Dress code?

    I believe there isn't. My hubby wore his slippers shorts and button up short sleep

    Where is the parking?

    You have to park in the garage about two blocks away. Look up parking garages on your maps.

    Do we need to make reservations if we are only there to order drinks at the bar?

    Yes the bar seating is really limited (like 6 seats) so I'd recommend a reservation.

    Is there Happy Hour?

    Yes!

    Do we have to make a reservation?

    No but it's wise too. If you don't, I would show up early and there may be a wait.

    Is there parking validation?

    Yes but I believe you need to spend $50 or more.

    How do you make a reservation? No one ever answers the phone :(

    Go online to Open Table or use the app.

    Is there a dress code?

    There is a sign that says no beach wear.

    So you take walk ins? If we came at around 5:30 on a Friday night would we be able to get sat by 7 or so? Or is it like impossible to get sat w/o a reservation?? PS i am…

    Good luck on a walk in. Making a reservation gets you sat in the seat with a view.

    Do they have a better number to call? No one answers the number posted and when it goes to voicemail, it refers to another number...

    Nope. They just don't answer. You have to go in.

    Is there an age limit during early hours?

    No age limit. I saw young children with their parents eating. All good.

    Can you just order drinks? Or do you have to order food as well?

    Now you can. Before you had to order food with the COVID-19 city mandated restrictions.

We ended up getting a piece of hula pie to share with the table instead. It was delicious as always, plenty to share among three people, and I love that it's served on its own special plate with special sporks that say hula pie on them. It was pretty sunny and hot that day and there are no umbrellas on the patio, so good thing I was wearing sunscreen or I'd fry. Service was prompt although as it got busier it got a little slower. Delicious for hula pie but if your heart is set on a drink in a pineapple, you cannot get it here.
