This was a great find in Honolulu. You can tell this place is where the locals build community. The bartender also had great recommendations for local spots without the tourist price. I really appreciate the welcoming atmosphere and local vibe. We will stop in anytime we are in Honolulu! read more

Suzie Wong's Hideaway - Dive Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Stumbled upon this nice dive bar after grabbing dinner with my cousin and his gf! The interior makes you forget for a sec you are in Hawaii and not the SF Marina Bars haha. Lots of tables to cater for large groups and a bunch of dart machines available -- you do have to pay to play. There was no set menu and the bartender was nice to let us know that if we shoot her a name of a drink she can make it for us. I got a Midori Sour and it was perfect! Not super strong and more of a melon flavor. Price was decent at $15. I'd say make sure you know the names of a couple drinks beforehand. They did have a couple of specials with one being an "18 year old Filipino Girl"....Okay.... A bit of a weird crowd though with a couple creepy men, so come in a large group! There were a good amount of people in their 20-30s, but the ambiance wasn't giving after some instances. read more

What you see is what you get! Dive bars at its best! Who knew? My first visit and I was surprised to find. I've heard of this place from many people and over many years yet I've never stopped in for a visit, until, today! Small bar, unassuming, warm and friendly, priced right, good food, and many more attributes The first thing you need to do is know how to find this place The second thing you need to do is chill! Sit back and enjoy the moment The third and maybe more important thing to know is they have no food you have to buy your appetizers from the food truck right outside the door Bottom line or top line! This is the place you need to visit at least once. I've lived here all my life and it took my continental US friends to tell me about this place. I would rideshare because parking is a problem not to mention the fact you're driving into Waikiki So take step one and step two and step three go there or be square and enjoy yourself read more

This is a local, out of the way little spot. If you didn't know, it was here, you would never find it. It is the epitome of casual and laid back. The staff is friendly, the patrons are for the most part locals. Surprisingly, they have a very wide selection of whiskey and a full bar. They also have an adequate selection of beer, however, not a broad range of options on tap. It is definitely a PBR friendly bar, as they offer all day happy hour on schooners of PBR. No food here, but occasionally you can find a food truck parked outside or you can order in from a couple of small local restaurants. read more

Love this place! Great local spot. Bartenders are awesome. There's often a bomb food truck in the parking lot.

Quaint, local bar with a laid back atmosphere...no food inside, but there's a food truck right out the door with great ribs and tater tots (among other things). Come early and stay late.. read more

Space is hidden and super cute If i were from here, likely would have a different experience I was a solo traveler and clearly a non local - and really felt like it. Had my over priced draft beer and sticker then left. Never have i paid $3 for a sticker - i collect when i travel. Most the time i get for free after sparking enjoyable conversations with the staff (however, I've never had a problem paying, but $3?.) 3 star because i am sure its a great place otherwise - i wasn't treated poorly, just really ick vibes. Also, the beer wasn't very cold read more

Awesome little dive bar that's hidden from all the chaos in Waikīkī. Both bartenders were personable and very attentive. Not sure if there is any food at this bar, but who really goes to a bar for food, right? Tons of options to wet your whistle and everything is priced just right, even for Hawaii. If you're into dive bars and don't want to pay the equivalent of college tuition, this is your place! Happy drinking! read more

You can't get any rest due to noise coming from drunk loud customers until about 2am is this even normal to put bar in the middle of residential area? Does anyone else have hard time sleeping due to noise coming from there ? read more

I've never written a yelp review before. But I just went Suzie Wongs and I have to say... Patrick is a beast!!! Never seen a more hardworking bartender. read more

How can I not love a dive bar with a name like that? After all, Suzie Wong was a fictitious Hong Kong bar girl (aka hooker) played by Nancy Kwan in her hotsy-totsy heyday in 1960's "The World of Suzie Wong". I didn't see any 8x10 glossies of her, but there was a huge Elvis tiki idol (photo: https://yelp.to/8CjQCfVCkr) and plenty of sports, beer, and boating paraphernalia strewn all over the walls. Even though our hotel was less than ten minutes away by foot, Jamie W. and I got lost trying to find it because it's in a nondescript alley with a parking lot in front and no signage from the street. Starting with the friendly bearded bouncer, the place had a casual, ramshackle feel that made it feel somewhere between Rosie's Bar on 'M*A*S*H' and the Howells' hut on 'Gilligan's Island'. Thurston and Lovey preferred their martinis dry. With unbridled energy, Patrick was the awesome bartender both times we visited. Oh yes, we went twice because the vibe was so relaxing and the potent Tequila Sunrises were only $5 each (photo: https://yelp.to/YWp9c9sjHZ). Besides, I had to get the T-shirt (photo: https://yelp.to/fCnQ52OvmR). I'm sure if we were grizzled Waikiki beachcombers, we'd be here all the time. Some of the regulars looked epoxied to their stools. That be us. DRINKS - 5 stars...$5 drinks, enough said AMBIANCE - 5 stars...like we were on a movie set circa 1962 SERVICE - 5 stars...Patrick was a champ TOTAL - 5 stars...as Suzie Wong said, "Me a good girl! ME A GOOD GIRL!" RELATED - Exploring Hawaii? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/3Kz5ksc read more

Amazing dive bar! City dawg (any gender) dive bar punk rock place I love hanging out at! Real drinks and meaningful connections.

Great Neighborhood Bar, staff friendly and outgoing, cold beer, Dean was great on giving local recommendations for restaurants!

Great Everything. Locals who know know. Staff is on it. Makes you feel like you're sitting in your living room talking story. Kawehi, mahalos brah. Marlena you're so warm and inviting I could marry you. Dannie, prima stay cool!!! Thanks for adhering to my liquid diet. read more

Bar service was good. Drinks tasted watered down. We were there on a Monday and food truck was closed. Boo. So left after one round to find food! read more

Searched "local dive bars" and found this gem. Visited multiple times during our recent stay. Friendly, unassuming crowd, great music, heavy pours at ridiculously cheap prices. $5 wells. My double Deep Eddy and Soda was a reasonable $14, normally pay almost $20 in Vegas. Best bartenders! So great we dragged our friends along one night and they loved it too! Will definitely be back! read more

Your local dive bar hidden in West Waikiki. Mostly locals found here as it is a cheap and fun place to drink. Blue Moon Draft Beer Large is only $7! Cocktails are on the cheaper end too. Service was decent. Hideaway spot - in between apartment buildings so makes it an interesting location. Lots of tables and chairs to chat with others. Bouncer will be outside to ID you. If you're looking for a causal spot to hang out for after work drinks or even pub crawl, this would be a fun spot with friends! read more

Suzie Wong's Hideaway - Blue Moon Large - Only $7 each! - Dive Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Loved this hidden gem! Came across Suzie's on Yelp while staying in Honolulu with my sisters and we fell in love! It's not super easy to find, but worth going behind the 7/11 to find it haha! The bartenders were great, loved all the locals and the deal on drinks was probably the best in the area. Also loved the vibe and music. Would definitely recommend! read more

I'd been meaning to stop by for a while, and finally had a few minutes and made it happen. Great vibe that feels very unlike the sterile Hiltons flanking it all around. Dean the bar tender saw me right away and made a Mai tai on the spot. It wasn't my favorite Mai tai, very orange juice heavy, but they don't skimp on the rum so you get value. I'd probably go with something very basic next time, or beer--there's some on draft and some nicer quality cans. Seems like there would generally be a group of locals. On a Saturday afternoon it was pleasantly busy but there was still plenty of space and seating. There are electronic dart board machines and a golf video game. read more

The service was very good and the friendliness of the employees. The selections and quality of the items at the food truck were very good and tasted delicious. read more

Suzie Wong's is a cool little dive bar a couple minutes away from the Hawaii Convention Center. There's a small parking lot and it's tucked away in the plaza next to the laundromat. My first drink was the mai tai ($8) which was one of the couple drinks that they serve with a double shot of liquor. It was pineapple forward and I didn't taste any alcohol at all. My second drink was the mango margarita ($8) in which I had the option to do mango, strawberry, or normal. It actually didn't really taste like a normal margarita though but I guess that's okay. Wells were $5 which was not terrible. It's a hole-in-the-wall place with a chill vibe. You'll find more locals and other hospitality workers here instead of tourists so stop by here if you want to get away from the busy crowds and expensive cocktails. read more

A Hidden Gem in a back alley easily missed. FIND IT! Do not worry that you need to walk down a short, obscure alley, you won't be able to find it unless you do. Dean, the bartender, is gregarious and entertaining. He's even written a "tome of bar wisdom" of true life conversations from tourists as well as those who seem to barely conscious. ALWAYS 3 SPECIAL DRINKS ALL DAY LONG ( Yes, and always the same). Order any but the "World Famous" MaiTai at $9, is the best will never disappoint! Tall and strong, the best deal in Hawaii! Be sure to ask about the history of this establishment and any walk-about famous old school venues. If he is not "too busy," he will list a few locations worth walking to, on his preferred, close at hand paper, a napkin or receipt. Protect it with your life! It's Golden Advice! read more

Was recommended this play by some locals and wow, it's a great place to hang out and grab a few drinks. From the ambience inside, to the attentive bar tenders who are whipping it down, this place is a must check out. Depending on where you stay, it's within walking distance for many.. The drinks were cheap, made well, and get the job done.. Respect the island, support the locals, and respect the island. read more

After coming to Suzie's quite a few times now i think this place is definitely 5 stars! If you are expecting a fancy place this is NOT the place for you...BUT if you want a place thats open air, friendly, laid back, great alcohol selection that's not overpriced, efficient staff, clean and fun I'd recommend Suzies! They have about 14 TVs to watch NFL/college games on and open early during football season to watch the dreaded 7am games. They don't serve food BUT Tys food truck is parked in front and serves excellent food they will bring you the food in the bar. Sunnys coffee shop is around the corner that serves excellent breakfast as well. They have 3 dart boards, ATM machine and lots of seating Great vibe and I appreciate that the patrons are tourist, local, young and older and everyone is friendly and respectful no matter which team you are cheering for! It's also dog friendly. About 8 parking stalls in front and street parking. The bar staff is amazing great place to check out at the beginning of Waikiki. read more

This place is fantastic. Super chill vibe. Great drink selection and all are super reasonably priced. And there's Dean, the bartender, who's just the coolest, kindest, most helpful person ever. He gave us a ton of great recommendations for while we're in town. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Cute and casual hangout on Ena Rd behind the Irish Rose. When facing the Irish Rose walk on the left side of the building past the Vietnamese restaurant and laundromat. Once you pass those it's on the right. It has limited parking, and don't parking anywhere else or you run the risk of getting towed. They serve beer and simple cocktails. For example, they can do martinis and Manhattans but no old fashioned. Prices are good, but there's often a staff shortage so know what you want. There's a food truck right outside, separate from the bar, where you can purchase something to eat. The bar doesn't serve food. read more

With all the resorts and the over priced places in the area this is the best dive bar in the area. Down a ally behind some laundromat's it meets all the dive bar list of qualifications. Open windows for the HA breeze, just the right level of hard hitting music, draft selections, full bar and top notch service. Its a local place that tourist like to hit. If your in the area take a walk down the dark streets and into the ally behind 711 and check this place out. Will be back every time I'm in the area. read more

It's a great little hideaway for quality drinks with a wonderful staff. It is a great spot to stop for a drink and enjoy the unique ambiance and fun decorations. It's considered a Dive Bar, but that's not a negative, it's more of a fun local watering hole! read more

Looking for a cool local place to escape from the tourist vibe and chill like a local. Well, look no further. Suzie's is my new local favorite place. Great pub people and the service was excellent.

We found this bar, from a post of the 10 best dive bars in Hawaii. What a treat. Definitely locals going to this bar, but all very welcoming. It was a weeknight so not busy, which was great because I am sure the weekends are busy. They only serve drinks, no food, but there is a food truck right outside the entrance. Go outside order your food and they bring it in to you. We didn't sit at the bar, but the owner came right to our table and we ordered. The Mai Tai's were great and a great price. The place is clean and well kept. If you are looking for a place just to hang this is he place read more

What a fantastic local spot. Friendly atmosphere with a laid back vibe. I had the pleasure of meeting Laura (I hope it's Laura and not Lauren) but she was so engaged with everyone at the bar and made you feel like you were Norm from Cheers. Does it get any better than that? When she was signing out for the night she gave me a chip for a free anytime drink but I will make sure that I come back and tip on it when she is behind the counter. Thank you for a great time! - Mike from NH read more

Nothing beats some cold cervezas on Taco Tuesdays from Ty's @ Suzie Wongs. New electronic dart boards have replaced the old pool table, in the bar, and are a blast! As the oldest and longest-standing bar in Waikiki, Suzie Wong's is truly a Hawaiian Hideaway. read more
