Friend sent me this link to his Christmas bar that she saw on Instagram so one thing that I did not like was that you have to stay inside the Christmas bar with your drinks you couldn't take them outside and the day that we went they were so beautiful and it was kind of packed with lots of people we wanted to go outside, and he kept on asking us not to take the drinks outside, which I don't understand in the same hotel This way it wasn't all that save your $30 and go elsewhere

Christmas Bar in Waikiki is hands down the best! Amazing atmosphere with great drinks and friendly staff -- perfect spot to unwind and celebrate. Loved the vibes and the service was top notch. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Waikiki!

This was such a fun holiday stop!!! The atmosphere was great, the drinks were delicious, and the A/C is running full blast to provide a delightful December chill... all you can really ask for during the humid rainy season in Hawaii. The bartenders worked quickly and were helpful with recommendations. There were a few comments about how expensive the drinks were, but they were about on par for any other cocktails you will get in Waikiki, and I look at it as paying for the overall atmosphere/experience. It was a great spot to pop in with friends before dinner!

This bar is so fun and festive! The drinks were really good and there's photo props throughout the bar.

Super fun!! Hidden door but once you open it ... it is Christmas!! Drinks are fun based on Christmas themes. The bartenders are mixing away and quite fast. Fun place to go during the winter

Unmarked door at the back of Tiki's, push the handle and suddenly youre in a world of holiday wonder. You physically instinctively smile! For fun people watching, whats others come through that door. Their faces reflect the same. Its indescribable and the photos don't really capture how decorated this small space is. The entire place is great for a selfie or group pic, but some with hashtag signs to help out. The drinks are expensive but unique where you probably will never get elsewhere. There are non-alcoholic versions too. They don't serve food except for a Charcuterie Board which was really good. Families with the kids during the early part of the night. Take a few pictures but not a place to play. Its a bar. Get your names on Tikis dinner list and have dinner there. Great setup and I understand why so many we spoke with make The Christmas Bar an annual tradition

Butter Beer & Jingle Bell Margarita
Chris N.

Located inside Tiki's Grill & Bar is a fun hidden gem, a secret winter themed holiday pop up bar. Everything is Christmas themed, from the decor to the curated holiday cocktails. We ordered the Butter Beer and the Jingle Bell Margarita. The Butter Beer was absolutely amazing, 5/5, the cream soda and butterscotch mixed really well and tasted like a cozy Christmas dessert in a glass. Shoutout to Bill for approaching us and letting us know about this spot, he was very friendly, easy to talk to, and super accommodating, which made the whole experience even better.

We had an amazing time at The Christmas Bar! My mother-in-law and I visited with my two boys (early hours are recommended if you're bringing kids). The decorations were unbelievable. Service was friendly and fast. Our drink choices were yummy! I had the Old Fashioned, my son had the Hot Chocolate, and my mil had the Clausmopolitan. This place is a really nice escape when you live in HI and don't get to truly feel like it's Christmas time!

The chocolate drink

I gave it a four stars coz it's kinda hot in there. The AC is not that strong to accommodate lots of people that they're letting to enter. There was no line when we got there since we came in early, around 630ish to be exact. The price of the drinks were too pricey but it's quite alright, gave us all a buzz after drinking it. I got the chocolate thingy, kinda too thick at first, added a little ice to make it better but the ambiance is so nice Very christmasy I recommend that you guys go there early so that you get in faster. No chairs though and we did valet for parking and don't forget to get it validated

Christmas Themed Drink
Wakaba S.

It's located inside of Tiki's Grill and Bar. They only have drinks and no food. The drink I had was good but a bit expensive - $19 plus tax and tip. Well, you're basically paying for the decorated area that only takes place once a year ;) The decoration was pretty and festive indeed. It's a good place to come by and take pictures. If you're into those holiday stuff, worth checking it out.

Always my favorite seasonal bar to celebrate the holidays! The decor is like something out of a Christmas movie, and the staff somehow serve everyone quickly despite the massive crowd it always draws. Cocktails are wide-ranging to suit everyone and there are even mocktail versions as well. Come stop by when the calendar hits December!

Polar peppermint mocha freeze, the grinch mojito
Emily L.

This place is located in the back of tikis, and it has a hidden door. It's super small but made the place look extra festive with the condensed decorations. The drinks were more pricy, about $20 each. My one drink (mocha freeze) was super strong which isn't a bad thing, so you do get your moneys worth if you want to get tipsy fast. Overall, I will say that I wish that children were not allowed in the bar. There were small babies and children in there, some were lying on the ground and I almost tripped over one of the kids which could be a hazard with the drinks. I think it's cool to visit for the holidays and get cool pictures! I just think children would not be the best idea.

Tiki Grill lamb & shrimp dinner

Fun bar with great photo opportunities, but a warning: DO NOT put down your belongings to take photos without watching them. We left our bag of Tiki Grill leftovers on a counter kind of close to the hostess station and polar bear while we were walking around taking pictures and having our drinks, and then when we went to leave, it had disappeared. We asked the hostess, who was nearby, if she saw anyone take our bag, and she said yes a patron picked it up and walked out with it like it was theirs. You may say who cares about some leftovers, but these included MOST of a $48 lamb and shrimp dish from Tiki Grill restaurant next door, where our party of four ordered too much food to finish. So probably at least $30 worth of food. I hope whoever took it needed food and enjoyed it. Maybe a sign to not over-order in the future, in addition to not trusting people in what seems like a safe bar. We didn't go to the management about it, partly because the Christmas Bar and Tiki Grill are separately managed and we figured there wasn't anything they could do anyway. Kudos to the Christmas Bar hostess for letting us know it wasn't picked up by the busboy, which we originally thought had happened.

I come here once a month. Great view, great service, both of servers I have gotten are excellent!!…read morePaka and Josh. They both always remember what I like/order, and cater to my needs. Food is great and reasonably priced and served in good portions too. Because many other Waikiki restaurants would jack the prices up simply because they could, the fact Deck's price points are lower than the most and the quality is better than the most is awesome. Highly recommend it.

Made a Sunday reservation on OpenTable. Sat quickly. Breezy but hot so we ended up with covered…read moreseating with enough of a view. First drink I tried to order was listed on the menu but server said it wasn't available. Sounded like the menu is undergoing some changes. 5/5 not your average mai tai. Bestie loved it. 5/5 Lilikoi margarita. This was pretty good. Small but tasty. 5/5 truffle fries starter. Shoestring fries perfectly crispy and the aioli was amazing. Generous Parmesan on top which was appreciated. 2/5 ordered a wedge salad appetizer to come out before the meal but it came out AFTER the meal. Missing the bacon and blue cheese crumbles were on the salad which wasn't listed on the menu. The lettuce looked wilted and onions looked old. Honestly super disappointing. 4/5 Huli Huli chicken. Rice was a bit dry but the chicken was really good. 5/5 Haupia French toast. What a star!! We prob didn't eat this until 30 minutes after the meal arrived since we had salad and chicken to eat, and holy moly this made up for everything. Treated it as a dessert and it was creamy in the middle and crunchy on top. The center was like a custard filling. Service was not great but she was trying. I think she may have been new, the things she was saying just needed some polish and refinement. She tried to check in periodically but kept forgetting us. Even mentioning the bacon on the salad I think the response was "oh man I don't know what's up with that". Lol! I would have taken a slice of bacon to crumble myself but nothing was offered. Overall I'd come back for the fries, drinks and French toast!
