Nasty, frozen food. I do not recommend eating here: menu needs to be changed asap. My food wasn't good at all and I'm not hard to please

Fun bar, good music, and great drinks! My husband and I grabbed a table at the Tapa Bar the other night, and had a blast watching the band. We only had drinks, and they were tasty, and strong. The mango margaritas are yummy! read more

Tapa Bar - Wine Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Very cool bar and casual restaurant inside the Hilton Hawaiian Village resort. Atmosphere, decor, and setting are great. Drink and food prices are reasonable considering the location. However, the service was definitely not up to the Hilton standards during this visit. Waitress Janice never asked our party of four if we wanted a second round of drinks, immediately dropped the check, never refilled water glasses or checked on our party during our one hour visit even though the crowd was light. Appeared she just wanted an automatic tip to do the bare minimum. I will give three stars mainly due to the poor service. read more

Tapa Bar - All the tropical tourist cocktails. - Wine Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We came early for a concert so we can eat and drink before we go to the Coral Ballroom. To our surprise there was happy hour still going, 3pm- 5pm! Our server was very attentive, food came fast, pizza was good (pepperoni & meatlovers) as well as the loaded fries. Price was reasonable and we had a chill time before going to our event. We will surely come back again and try the other drinks and food offerings. read more

Ordered a Mai Tai... just awful. Should be a signature drink. Way too strong and does not taste well. read more

Ambiance is clean despite all the birds. Food was not great. We had pizza and it wasn't great nor hot. It was warm. The live music was nice. Service was quick and nice too. read more

I always feel bad leaving a poor review and I want to emphasize that my review has nothing to do with the service. THE SERVICE WAS GOOD. My complaint comes from the extremely high prices and very poor quality of food. The former to be expected at a Hilton in Waikiki. They had multiple beer choices unavailable and the burger was very mediocre and over $20. Reminded me of a public school lunch burger if I'm being honest. I'm just saying there are much better places to eat around the Hilton, the burger messed with my stomach, the food was very over priced, and low quality. read more

Where do is start, The bartenders are super nice and friendly their drinks are amazing. I don't like sweets drinks but the bartender recommended I try their guava or passion fruit daiquiri best drink I've ever had. I'm so yummy I was at the bar buying my guava drink 3 times a day for 5 days hahaha now that I'm back home I'm craving it. Didn't get to try the food but they're always busy. The ambiance was nice lots of TVs and open bar pool area next to it as well. I'm more of a gin and whiskey type of gal but their drinks are amazing read more

The service was fine but the food is a miss. Ordered smash burgers and I wouldn't call them smashed. The buns were soggy and the burgers fell apart while trying to eating. I had the OG smash burger and it was supposed to come with caramelized onions but none to be found. We had the loaded waffle fries and those were pretty good but it seems to be more of a takeaway setting. If we came back we would order takeout and maybe try something like the pizza or chicken wings. As soon as we ordered our food they brought us the check, I guess this is to prevent from people just walking off and not paying? read more

The menu offers typical bar food & drinks, with doable prices in a resort setting. There's 3 TV's in the Bar Area with optimal seating throughout the patio bar/lounge setting. Live music every night with different artists & bands. Thus far I really enjoy Juke Joint that play cover songs to the tune. Service is great with welcoming employees. read more

The two stars is for our waitress Meyer. She was lovely. The food: 1) Improbable Burger with waffle fries - $25 - he loved the burger, fries were cold. 2) Awful Waffle Fries- $15 - great concept in theory but the taste was horrible. The fries were cold, they threw a few pounds of shredded cheese that was not melted but clumped together. The waitress was attentive and refilled our cokes. Recommend: not sure, I think it's more for convenience, it was near our Tapa room elevators. read more

Staff was nice and quick. But the drink was pretty expensive $24 after tip. It was pretty strong but do that much I'd rather go make this quality of drink myself read more

Tapa Bar - Wine Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Located at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, Tapa bar is one of the outdoor bars on the property. This is a great place to socialize and have food & drink. The table service was OK. There is a strike going on right now at the property which has limited service. No one comes to the table to take food and drink orders. You now have to go to the bar and pay for everything before your order comes out. Because this is an open air restaurant, you cannot leave your table unattended as the birds will have a picnic and they are a bit aggressive. The food ordered was good. The mixed drinks were pretty good. Someone will come by the table and remove unwanted and trash items. What made this visit enjoyable was the live local band. They ssung songs from Bruno Mars to Sade. I would definitely visit there again but it would have to be after strike os over and normal operations have resumed. read more

We decided to try one of the many places to eat here. This was after some time spent on the beach and getting our first burn of the trip initiated. When we went the open air restaurant was nearly empty with the exception of the bar itself. On the menu is several selections, mostly in the burger and sandwich realm with a few salads as well. Prepare yourself for not only the higher costs of Hawaii but also resort food. It is quite east to get to $100 without trying very hard at all, and if you do decide to get a few drinks, it's as easy as well...you know. Both the wife and I got our libation of choice which yo can see in the pictures. A Mai Tai and a Blue Hawaiian were on the menu today. Both the wife and I got the smash burger, hers a single while mine was a double. The burger was very delicious and a good portion of food. Not realizing what we had done, we also ordered the loaded waffle fries. They were delicious for sure, however if I were to do this again I would ask for the sour cream to be on the side as we got what seemed like a ladle sized serving of sour cream and it was too gigantic of a dal-up to efficiently put onto your cheese, bacon smothered waffle fry. The taste however was very delicious. The service was decent, nothing to brag about, but not horrible either. Not sure what really my expectations were, thought this would be a better experience than it was, but it certainly was also better than getting fast food somewhere as well. read more

Bands are fun and frequent! Always people hanging out every night so it's loud and fun! The food is just bar food and overpriced for what it is! I paid $28 for a basic Caesar salad with an added what appeared and tasted like a frozen chicken patty heated in the microwave so I only ate the lettuce!! It's a fun and easy to walk to hangout! Yes, I recommend for drinking and live music and great service but not for dinner. read more

Tapa Bar - Piña Colada - Wine Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Staff: So so, nothing to write home about Quality/Quantity: Like Charlie Brown say, "Well I, huh" Hamburger was one of the worst I've ever had. I put on par with a frozen White Castle burger. Said it had some type of special sauce but I didn't get it. The waffle fries were good though. Pizza was good. The salad oddly is prepackaged which was a surprise. Not bad - but weird. Value: Pricey Overall: Not a fan at all. Most likely won't return here again should I visit this hotel in the future. read more

Came on Christmas Eve for some drinks and they did not disappoint! The hostess at the front checked vaccination status and was doing a very thorough job. All staff we interacted with were so sweet and pleasant. I've now tried every flavor of frozen daiquiri (lol), and banana and mango are my favorites! Strawberry is a close runner up. None of the flavors seemed to be artificial- all fresh! Previous reviews seem to be right- they are generous with the pour here! I had to stop after two drinks. They do offer lids to take the drinks to go, which was great. Drinks are about 50 cents to a dollar more than the Tropics Bar and Grill, but I think the heavier pours make up for the cost. I don't expect a super affordable drink at the resort anyway. They were playing a Christmas movie at the bar, but it wasn't super loud. The vibes are good here! Mahalo for a great experience! read more

Met my extended family here on a Saturday night as they were staying in the Tapa Tower and we were next door in a different hotel. Our server was super friendly, attentive and checked on us often. Drinks were delicious, I didn't order any food but no complaints from those that did. The live band they had played great tunes! It was a great area to start off our family vacation. read more

Cool bar inside the Hilton which has live music. Prices are consistent with the property but a cool place to spend that $18 credit for Hilton gold rewards members. read more

We came to Tapa Bar a couple of times to grab a quick bite and listen to music. Linda and Crystal were both very helpful and courteous. Our orders were taken and filled within expected time given the amount of people that were there each time. The food we ordered was average and just expect to pay above average price. Overall, we enjoyed the evening. Enjoy! Mahalo! read more

Food and service is decent when they are not too busy, but seem to drop a bit when it gets a bit crowded.

My dad wanted to watch the live band and drink some beer so here we are. Eating pizza in Hawaii with no pineapple lol Come on they could have added like Hawaiian Pizza which was not even in the menu. I have read the entire menu which was a bummer they were all dry. We could literally have it in CA nothin too special about this place. Our server was very sweet I have NO complaints about her she was really nice! Loved her! However this Dry pizza that looks like came out from the frozen aisle of target just didn't satisfy us. We took back the entire pizza back to the hotel since we couldn't eat it anymore. I rather ordered from Pizza Hut sheesh SMH don't even get me started from piña colada? Did they even try putting the rum in it? cause WTF? I can no longer add more words I could just keep going here. read more

Our waitress was so sweet and very attentive. I know we will stop and have another drink here. read more

What attracted us to this place was a giant list posted outside of happy hour times and what is included. We were staying at the Hilton where this bar located on the same property. Actually, the bar was right outside our tower so we wouldn't have to stumble far lol. We checked in just as happy hour started so we went to our room, settled in, ordered 2 Mai Tais, then walked around the property and enjoy being in Hawaii. There is a lot of tables and seating around the bar but I would approximate about 10-15 seats at the bar. The bar area was packed most of the times we visited or walked by. Every time we went to the bar to order drinks, the staff was welcoming and friendly. There were only a couple times we had to wait to be served. I ordered a Mai Tai every time we stopped here but hubs had to order beer because the Mai Tai was giving him heartburn lol. The drinks were strong, which is rare in most bars, especially in tourist places. We went one night before closing and ordered some drinks to walk on the beach with. I mean it's Hawaii so the tab was close to $40. It was still worth it to me. This is definitely a nice spot to stop at as your first drink of the vacation or after a long day of exploring. read more

So the first pastrami Reuben we received was burned. I mean really burned. Even the meat. The server explained that it was the color of the rye bread. Yes, we know that rye is a brown almost chocolate color. However when you can taste burned bread and burned meat. Not cool. They said they would bring us another one. Cool, we waited for a new one. HOWEVER, the one we received was cold, and full of fat. At this point we realized the cook hates us and wants to play games. Our other meal was the "OG double smash burger" and it was FANTASTIC. And when you order during happy hour just make sure it's about 20 minutes before it ends. They must set their clocks forward 20 minutes so they can charge you regular price. Our server was super sweet. She did a great job. The atmosphere is nice. Outside seating only. Nice breeze. Tons of birds to fight with while you eat. read more

The margarita pizza was less than average. I wish I would have done a pizza from the Island Market Shop across the street. Our server was truly sweet and kind-but the drinks/food were not worth their price points. If you want food served-dining style-choose this, if you want value and taste-venture out! read more

Tapa Bar - Bar Area - Wine Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great location inside Hilton Hawaiian Village. Drinks were good but couldn't taste alcohol in my lava flow. Music was good and service was adequate. Food was terrible both times we tried it. Pizza was so bad, I have had frozen pizza that was so much better. Loaded waffle fries had a very light layer of toppings and some sour cream. Not good at all but it at least filled us up. Definitely wouldn't go there again for food but great for music. read more

Convenient if you are staying nearby. Nice live music. Otherwise kind of s--y. Noone seats you. You just have to find your own spot. Pretty clear there are tiered service levels We got the shabby one. Long time to receiving menu, water. Long long time. At least burger was ok. This is an open place so you can just sit nearby for the live music without seating yourself for food. read more

Great place to unwind at the resort! We had burgers and piña coladas--both were excellent. The food came out quickly, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Relaxed, tropical atmosphere and perfect for a casual meal or drink by the pool. Highly recommend! read more

Pizza was basic. Soda was watered down tasting. Server wasn't that friendly. She approached us like she assumed we were just looking for a place to sit. She looked shocked when we wanted to order. Waffle fries were good. Ambiance was nice. read more

Just arrived from a long haul flight and was just looking for some food to bring up to my room. Had a beer (Happy Hour) and order 2 beers and a personal sized pizza to go. $70 with tip. WOW read more

Great food fabulous service. They had live music. They were jammin!! I'm definitely. Coming back.

Absolutely ridiculous prices. $15 for a draft beer in a plastic cup. Absolutely unsanitary. Hordes of aggressive pigeons. Whatever you do, don't go to the bar and look up at the lattice work above. It's too bad because the live music was great. read more

Yikes! Strictly an overpriced tourist bar, the wait staff is friendly enough I guess, but the food...SUCKS! we went for happy hour grub, the " Margherita pizza was fd up..just a frozen like pizza crust with some blobs of mozzarella, NO basil..(cardboard carbs) for their outrageous price . The happy hour "loaded fries" damn..disgusting, the waitress knew we were upset by the look on our faces, so she gave a small discount, needless to say we left most of it on the table, we definitely will not be returning to this tourist trap. read more

WTF i sat at the bar. In a bar stool and the bartender told me I had to come order at the register. He couldn't even be bothered to walk five steps to the right. The end of the bar that he is supposed to be serving to take my order. I have been here many times and have felt so welcomed and even protected when someone tried to pull me out of the bar. If you can't walk three steps to the right or five steps to the right to take an order you're not getting a fucking order or tip. read more

Good but overpriced drinks and snacks. I liked the pineapple juice, both spiked and not. Service is okay, but I didn't like the many ill mannered drunken tourists. read more
