Ask for the ube pina colada (or chichis if you prefer vodka)... Got these on a previous trip, and they continue to not disappoint. What was even better was because we were staying at the Sheraton, we had $150 in credit to use on these. So good. Fresh and not overly sweet ube flavor. One of my favorite cocktails on island. Staff and ambiance on the beach are great. read more

You do come here for the view which at sunset is unreal! The staff was also super friendly too despite it being packed during the sunset time. The hotel is beautiful as well! The food was just so/so. The catch of the day was a little dry and the salad on paper sounded excited but was sort of one note. Hotel prices in comparison to food taste make it not so desirable but I think a lot of people come here for drinks so I would probably opt for that next time! read more

I haven't sat at the bar in 18 years, with some buddies. I was hanging out here in 2005 a lot. I had a virgin pina colada and garlic fries. The fries were so plentiful and I was already full before I sat down. I just wanted to support the bar and have more than just a pina colada. Atmosphere is always so nice here. It seems like the dream job. There were just a fee other patrons and setvice was prompt. I just wish they didn't use faucet sink water to fill up my water glass. Seems funky. read more

Lovely spot to hang out for a drink or meal and watch the surfers on Waikiki beach. Service was super friendly and helpful, you can order at the bar or have the option of table service at any seat. Pina colada and lava flow were both very good, nice blended cold drink on a warm island afternoon. read more

Pro's: Contrary to most Yelp reviews about the food that I read prior to dining here, I really enjoyed my "Surfrider Burger". I added avocado for the thrill of it. My daughter's Caesar salad was crisp and drenched in dressing just how we like it! Very satisfying meal after swimming and snorkeling with the sea turtles!! The beach view is quite the vibe and this is an awesome place to dine while here in Waikiki! Con's: It was busy, so service was spotty, nice waiter but I felt as if I was always looking for him in the daylight with a flashlight. It would have been a nicer lunch if he was more attentive, instead of cleaning off all the tables! And one last critique-they should improve the lemonade cause it was watery and not as refreshing as I hoped for read more

5 Atmosphere and view 5 service 4 food and drinks 3 prices (but worth the price if you can pay it to hang out and watch the surfers and listen to the waves) I'm staying here at the Moana Surfrider so it's easy to park it in the bar and enjoy the environment, even at a premium. I got the nutty espresso martini, which is not as sweet as I was afraid it would be. I also had a hankering for garlic fries, which--holy moly--it's a truck full! read more

The poke bowl here is fantastic, and the coconut lime chicken wings were perfection, so much so that I'll probably go home and spend hours trying to replicate them somehow. A beautiful, romantic and not-too-expensive spot to grab a bite on the beach and get into vacation mode. read more

Good service and wonderful ambiance but the food was not my favorite. My friend and I shared the chili crunch edamame and we could not believe how big the portion size was, but then again it was $14. I ended up finishing the leftover edamame over the next 2 days lol. Flavor was decent We also shared the salmon soba salad and omg it had MORE edamame lol. Decent flavor again and healthy too. We 1000% enjoyed the live music though!!! Servers were all very nice. The best food item was dessert though, we shared the banana bread pudding. If you want the best bread pudding ever then go to plumeria house in kahala! read more

Right by the beach and very aware of it, The Beach Bar is the kind of place where you're mostly paying for the view -- but to be fair, it's a good one. I had the ahi poke bowl, which was fresh and satisfying, though definitely leaning hard on the ginger. There's no reservation system here, so seating is kind of a casual free-for-all. We hung out, ate, enjoyed the scenery, and just as we were about to head out, a lady immediately swooped in to ask about our table. A little pricey, but solid food, great view, and a side of light seating chaos. read more

3/5 Coconut Tamarind Wings - These were sour and spicy, with a good crunch. I was hoping to get more or a sweet, coconut flavor but that was lacking. 4/5 Mai Tais- These are a perfect amount of sweetness, but very strong! The food and drinks here are decent and on the pricier side, but I'm taking stars off because the our server was incredibly rude and condescending. She made my group so uncomfortable that we wanted to leave quickly rather than enjoy the live music like we planned. read more

Location with a view but slow service. This is located beach front so it gets busy. I ordered a chi chi for my drink pretty watered down by the time the drink is made and brought to you. Menu looks great but food quality not sure. Poke was dry with zero flavors. Kinda disappointed thinking how can you go wrong with poke. Rice was cold and tasted stale. We didn't stick around to finish our food or drink. read more

The Beach Bar - R&R time - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Stopped in for a drink on our last night in Oahu and it couldn't have been nicer. Our server was great and they had live music. We could've gotten a table overlooking the water, but it was in the sun, so we chose to sit a little further back in order to get some shade. I only had a strawberry lemonade ($6), but it was really delicious and refreshing; the taste of strawberry came through really nicely and it wasn't too sweet. The tang of the lemons balanced everything beautifully. My friend ordered their Traditions of Hawai'i cocktail ($19) and loved it; she had never had li hing mui powder before and found it exotic. It's a "pickle mango Margarita with a blend of Maestro Dobel, Coitreu, Mango, Agave, and Lime, dusted with Li Hing Mui". Whatever... she loved it and had two! With her second drink we decided to get an order of their fries with garlic and cheese ($13). The order was huge and we couldn't finish them. Really delicious, though... nice amount of garlic and the cheese just put it over the top! Definitely a nice, relaxed atmosphere with good music and a beautiful setting. read more

Moana Surfrider is a family favorite. We've celebrated the most memorable occasions here. Every time we're on the island we always stop by and grab some bites + drinks. However, the food isn't as good as I remember... The service here is amazing. The staff is very attentive and friendly. It's located in the beach side of the hotel surrounded by the water and pools. It can get pretty busy. I appreciate that. I ordered the poke bowl which I kinda regret but I didn't want anything else on the menu, there isn't a wide selection. I wasn't as impressed. Maybe it's because I have high expectations for poke at a restaurant but next time I'll opt in for the burger which was better or the Salmon Soba noodles. There was something off putting about the bowl, the rice seemed over cooked and the fish was skimpy. Skip this and get something else! I remember their steak & fish tacos being good. As for the drinks, they were hella strong so be prepared to get tipsy. They weren't as sweet. They always have live music and nice scenery which is a plus. read more

The Beach Bar - Lava Flow & Lychee Aperol Spritz - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Always my first stop when I touch down on Oahu! The chicken wings alone are enough for me to return every single time. They truly are like no other - crispy, with a hint of coconut and tamarind and delicious even down to the garnish! The sweet chilis on top are the perfect touch to balance out the flavors. We always pair it with the edamame and recently got a salad which easily turned into another go-to item. Not only is the food fresh and amazing, you get a beautiful view of the beach and are walking distance to all of the shops downtown. It is first come first serve, but the staff will help you find a table so you're not just walking around aimlessly to find a table :) read more

A friend recommended that we check out the Beach Bar at Moana and I'm so glad we did. It was the perfect Hawaiian ambiance here with the beachfront dining and tropical drinks. I chose a lava flow, which was good but very sweet. Definitely the type of drink I could only have one of before getting a sugar overload. The bar was very crowded right before sunset but we managed to snag one of the few available tables. read more

So ... the Beach Bar .... Was it a good decision to start day drinking at 11am? Right after having food and mimosas at 8 am? I mean .... I loved laying on the beach and swimming in the ocean ... But I had a revelation and said to myself ... 'Self, you deserve an awesome staycation this weekend!!! You deserve this!! Oh yeah, we were in Waikiki celebrating my husbands birthday :) Well, after contemplating if I should book a booze cruise or not .. we got on Yelp and looked for the nearest beach bar. Saw that this one was literally a 10 second walk from where we were (don't ask why we didn't notice) ... and proceeded to secure a table and wait the 10 minutes for them to open. Our waitress ... I think her name was Andrea ... don't quote me!! She was amazing!! Came and checked on up frequently. We ordered a strawberry daiquiri and my other half had Mai Tais. I think I had 5 of those bad boys .... My husband said my face was super red, but I'm blaming the sun. We ended up waiting for friend of ours to join us ... so we were there for 4 hours just sipping cocktails!! I can't remember having such a relaxing morning!! 10/10 would go again :D Do it one day!! You'll thank me later!! read more

Looking for a light dinner after watching the sunset, we practically stumbled on in, with self-seating and completely open with music playing in the background, it was a beautiful chill vibe. Drinks were pretty strong especially the Mai Thai- I recommend the passionfruit. We ordered a sampler to share - it came with loads of edamame and some chicken, although I do wish they had a little bit more on the menu in terms of food choices. The bartenders were friendly and lovely, passionate about the area and loved talking to the guests. read more

We've been here 3 times now when we have visited Oahu in the last 3 years. Each time, we have only come specifically for their Mai Tais and have had their poke nachos twice. With that said, I highly recommend both and haven't tried anything else. Why their Mai Tai? They have 3 different kinds to choose from, and they're all solid drinks. We've never been disappointed with their Mai Tai drinks, and it is well worth the price that will deliver you a good buzz and more. Their 1944 Mai Tai is the least sweet and the most stiff drink. Get this one if you want to get to the point with a drink. The Moana Mai Tai is the in between with some sweetness that makes it easier to drink. I like this one the most personally because I don't like my drinks too sweet. Their Moana Sunset Mai Tai is their sweetest drink and would be good for those who likes it more sweet or don't drink as much Mai Tais. Their poke nachos have always been good when we've gotten it. This is easily shareable between 2-3 people, depending on how hungry you are. I love their wonton chips for these nachos and the poke is fresh. Lots of flavor and easy to eat. We usually have stumbled upon here while walking along the beach. It's open seating when we've gone for lunch time and it may be hard to grab a table. Service can be a bit slow at times during the busier times. We've also been here at night and it was quite the vibe with the lights on the banyan tree and live music. If you're looking for a solid Mai Tai, definitely make a stop here! We will continue to come here whenever we visit Oahu. read more

Yes to the cocktails, stunning beach views, and the cocktails. I know what I just said. This is an outdoor bar, sitting under the biggest Indian Banyan tree I've seen! Its branches outstretch the entire courtyard, about 150 feet across; providing shade and an eye-popping centerpiece to the space. We didn't partake on any food, but found the drink menu to be exceptionally good. THE DRUNK DRINKS. - Moana Sunset Mai Tai | Organic dark rum with passionfruit, orgeat, and orange cordial. A pineapple wedge tops this citrusy cocktail. Bonus points - the cup it comes in is yours to keep. - 1944 Mai Tai | Sweet, citrusy, and it's got a pineapple wedge. It tastes similar to the Moana Sunset Mai Tai. - Riptide | Coconut, pineapple, and a minty little after taste. This is a blended slushy type of cocktail, so prepare for that brain freeze. - Honolulu Beerworks (HBW) Makakilo Brown Ale | Smoky maltiness. Not quite New Castle, but similar. THE PARKING. There's valet parking, but we opted to find parking elsewhere. Where did we park, you might ask? No clue. We got so lost (walking in intermittent rain) trying to find the right parking structure that I couldn't even tell you where we ended up. THE RESERVATION. Just show up and grab an open seat. COMING BACK? Yesss. View of the beach is incredible. read more

Sunday evening girls get together. We decided to play tourists and check out the Beach Bar at the Moana. **kamaaina discount** you gotta mention it. No reservations, you just gotta observe who is leaving soon and grab a table. It didn't take long for the 4 of us. The drinks were delicious but for 20$ and served in a plastic cup was a little disappointing but maybe people have been stealing the glass cups?!? Despite being in plastic the Riptide, tradition of Hawaii and Ly-Chi Chi were delicious. Ambiance is amazing here with the beach, live music and at the historic Moana hotel backdrop can't be beat. I was Very impressed with the food though. Garlic Fries Yes! Delicious! Chili crunch edamame was a little over salted, Surfrider bowl, ahi poke bowl and miso salmon soba were all delicious. Especially impressed with the portion of the miso salmon. Delicious flavors great to share and talk story with the girls. The servers were hustling and efficient. A beautiful time at the Beach Bar great for locals and tourists. read more

The Beach Bar has a very casual vibe, which we liked, but unfortunately the food didn't live up to the prices. We ordered the grilled cheese, chicken wings, and fish tacos, and everything lacked flavor. We had to add ketchup and other condiments just to make it taste better. Service was also slow. For what you pay, the quality just isn't there. Sadly, I wouldn't go back. read more

We have been coming here regularly for at least 20 years. They have always made the best Mai Tais on the planet! However, recently, they have not been as good. Our server told us that they have changed the recipe and used a different rum. Unfortunate that they have chosen to downgrade a great product. It's a great spot on the beach in Waikiki but the next time we go I'll just order a beer. read more

We came here just after watching sunset on Waikīkī beach hoping for some good drinks and live music by the sea. Beach bar's classic Mai Thai is not good- don't bother with it, but the Moana Mai Thai with passion fruit and lime juice was a lot better as was my wife's passion fruit spritz. We shared the appetizer combo which definitely included the biggest portion of (chili garlic) edamame I've ever seen. Live music was good and overall we enjoyed it. read more

Beach please, this is some of the best food on the island! There is nothing I can meaningfully complain about. The views? Impeccable. The staff? Professional. The food? To die for. Went here a few times for dinner with the rents, a quick snack, or even just a drink. The seat yourself policy allows you to get the best views! They have live music as well. I still dream about the poke bowl- the don't skimp on the tuna which is so fresh (it melts like butter in your mouth). The salad with the catch of the day (mahi mahi) was also delightful. Overall, would definitely recommend this place. My significant others mom got hit by a kid on a surfboard, had her face gashed open, had to go to the Urgent Care, and we all agreed to meet back at the beach bar. That says it all. read more

We were excited to come here and try their Poke Nachos but ended up slightly disappointed. The ambiance was decent; we got to sit by the beach and watch people swim/surf and just people watch but our server was so slow and barely checked on us. It was hot and we kept waiting for our refills. The poke nachos tasted pretty good. I loved the house made fried wonton chips. The batter and sauce made the texture of the chips slightly sticky which was so good. The ahi pieces were too chunky and they probably only gave around 8-10 slices which was a little bit. If they cut the pieces in half, then it would have been a lot better. Our son's chicken tender meal was not good. The chicken tender was dry, bland tasting and literally tasted like it came out the fridge. The fries were really bland too and didn't have a good fresh fry taste. We even ordered their house Mai Tai which looked pretty but tasted like over poured vodka with hints of pineapple juice. Our cocktail and food experience was not a good one here. Sure, it was nice to eat under a Banyan tree but the service and food here at The Beach Bar was a C- I won't be coming back. read more
