Recommend for sports bar lovers who like variety at whole foods but want to dine in for decent plate sharing. Customer service Matt was our main server, vegan guy super friendly. FYI "lost & found". I left my $80 wireless portable charger. I called and found out from Dave, Matt turned it in to their customer service. Thanks Matt & Dave! Food: It's like a sports bar with the 72" wide screen and bar, fish and chip but also refreshing vegan/vegetarian options. Like the tempeh! Tasted like bbq bacon. Forgot photo. Anyway our group of 5, we all enjoyed the options. Except the fried battered fish chips -- we did not know til after the fact that we could've ordered grilled. Location Easy to find this sports bar inside Whole Foods (Kakaako Location) behind the cashier wall 1st floor. Separated partition. You could walk in from the street adjacent to "Ward Theatre" parking structure. Parking Whole Foods Garage attached and parking on streets nearby. Seating Options inside: small tables, long tables, high tops, bar. Outside has small tables, tall tables, and couches. -- We sat inside, nice and bright. Our group was 5, pretty loud with story telling while we shared plates. Definitely not a place for privacy. It wasn't my top pick but for my friends it meets convenience with average quality, and an option to dine in at a sports bar when shopping at whole foods. Which I dont really care for sports bars, we sat at a table and lighting is store lighting. read more

Two Tides Bar - Kumamoto oysters on happy hour special! - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Amazing service from Nat and Matthew. Always above and beyond. Amazing food, ambiance, and VALUE! You cannot beat getting an amazing lunch of fresh food from Whole Foods for $8 on special during the weekdays. Two Tides Bar has a loyal customer for life. read more

After dinner drinks with tiramisu from whole foods was great at the bar. We had Elkhorn Bourbon cream a nice after dinner drink.

Service was great, but fresh oysters were a disappointment. Probably would never order them again. I went here for the Friday Happy Hour and $1 oysters because I love fresh oysters so much. The oysters appeared to be shucked by someone who had zero experience opening them. Each oyster was mangled and appeared to be a choppy goop instead of an intact and luscious oyster bite. The shells themselves were broken during opening, and each bite resulted in a mouthful of grit and broken shell, which is highly unappetizing. Out of a dozen oysters, I had to spit five of them into paper napkins because the abundance of broken shells made it inedible. Furthermore, the oysters were not even fully removed from the bottom shell, so eating them was difficult and messy because you need to scrape the little fibrous mussle off with a knife just to get them to slide out of the shell. On the plus side, the experience was redeemed because service at the bar was so wonderful, and the Fish and Chips were excellent! read more

Two Tides Bar - My oyster appetizer with prosecco - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great view of Waikiki, awesome music with live entertainment, and awesome food. Would definitely visit again.

Planning a work happy hour but I didn't want to have manage a head count for 40 people so I called over and the manager kk fly answered my questions and helped me out. They don't really take reservations but he did hold a large table for me and said there would be room to grow if we needed. Turns out it was perfect. We had drinks and a few dishes. All the cocktails were solid. They had a variety of beers on tap and offered samples if asked. Service was good but a little slow and he ended his shift without checking us out and forgot a drink but the bartender was great and made it all work. Lots of parking. Convenient location. Happy hour offered daily between 4-6 so Two Tides will has earned a placeholder in my rotation of Happy Hour spots. read more

Beer pints for 5 bucks on Wednesdays?! Dude, I'm in! Why? Because nothing says fun more than tipsy shopping! Just kidding! :D In rough-and-ready fashion, let's do dis review on dis Thirsty Thursday! Located on the second floor of Whole Foods, this spacious lounge has a sizable bar, lots of open seating, and like the rest of the building, huge glass windows all around. For eats, I usually just stick to the complimentary thing of popcorn that they give out. However, you can bring food in if you bought it from within the store. So go ahead, knock yo' self out! They have canned and bottled beers, rotating beers on tap, wine, some sake, and a few other liquors too. Beer and wine flights are available for $14 and $15, respectively. Anyway, there's free WiFi throughout the whole establishment, it's right off of the parking lot, and da lua (restroom) is just a few steps away. Hehe. Not bad, right? So go check 'em out next time! read more

I had an incident a few years ago with one server who seemed racist and I gave them one star. I mean that's a deal breaker. We got some kinda we're sorry store credit because of it. But she's been long gone and it's a decent spot so I figure I'd update my review. It's COVID times and they taking precautions. They still have a decent amount of specials and their food is good. Nice selection of beer, wine, and cocktails too. I like the upstairs a little better but that closed right now unfortunately. During better times they'd have musicians performing. Good stuff. read more

We went for happy hour and oysters on a Friday. Service and food was great! We will definitely go back!

Excellent! Wanted the fish n chips but they were out and asked the waiter Matt what he recommended, he said the cauliflower nachos were great and he was not wrong! The batter on the cauliflower gave it a nice crunch and the pico de gallo and cilantro were very fresh! With a crunch like that on cauliflower I can't imagine how great the fish will be and am looking forward to going back soon! read more

Two Tides Bar - Cauliflower Nachos - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I like it! Admittedly, we had a beer and left, so there is clearly the chance of a more thorough review in the future. For now I can say it was great to grab a beer before shopping. I breezed through the aisles with a smile on my face and didn't care (this time) that Whole Foods has been out of arugula every time I have come here in the past month. But I digress... We grabbed a spot at the bar, which is quite spacious, and ordered two good beers. The selection is not expansive, but it is good enough, and the prices are pretty standard for craft beers. I was actually able to try something I had never had before so that is a plus. Another plus is the bag hook under the bar. I cannot understand why these aren't standard at all bars. Much appreciated. The bar staff is cool and we were served super quickly. I think I will insist on grabbing a beer before shopping from now. read more

Two Tides Bar - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

After a grueling hike at Pali Notches, our friends suggested eating lunch at Whole Foods. It sounded like a crazy idea because we didn't visit Hawaii spend a meal at Whole Foods. Turned out to be a great idea! There's a bar called Two Tides on the 3rd floor of this Whole Foods complex. It's a impressive shopping center! Cute eateries and trinket shops, outside of actually going to Whole Foods. We ended up grabbing boxes of hot food and bringing them to the outdoor patio of Two Tides. There are fun, hanging chairs overlooking the street. It was a toasty day but still nice. We ordered beers at the bar inside, which was refreshing. Two Tides admittedly wasn't the main attraction, but it's a great concept. You can even get some work or reading done outside while enjoying your beverages, which is what some people did. I'd love to be a local and come here regularly. read more

Bartender Joe is one of the best people ever! He is a great bartender, makes a wonderful lemon drop, and always has a great vibe and great conversation. Normally I wouldn't find myself frequenting a Whole Foods for a bar scene, but JOE makes it all worthwhile and keeps the customers coming back. Great music selection too! Joe rocks! read more

Stopped by this 4th of July for a quick bite for lunch. Ordered their Kalua pork nachos. They were delicious. Healthy serving for two! Chips were crisp and the toppings were on point. Will definitely return to try other items. The great thing was that it wasn't a heavy appetizer. You left feeling satisfied but not stuffed. I don't know what kind of cheese was used but it wasn't that heavy thick cheese you normally get. It was light. Two thumbs up for me on this place. read more

Two Tides Bar is located in the new Whole Foods on Queen Street at Ward. The name "Two Tides" is due having two distinct bar areas: High Tide on the second floor, and Low Tide on the ground level. Both are physically in the store and share parking and entrances. The Low Tide area is inside the main entrance. This area is mainly high bar stools around the central bar; TVs abound. The selection here is greater with around 8 extra taps (mostly in the IPAs as of this writing). The High Tide area is much larger with high top stools at the single-sided bar top; many high top and lower tables inside the air conditioning also with TVs easily view-able from anywhere. The real draw up here is the outdoor seating; over-sized stuffed chairs and hanging pod chairs offer a view overlooking Kamakee and Ala Moana Beach Park beyond. It's pleasant to sit here whether you're drinking or not; you can bring food from downstairs or any of the pop up restaurants on the 2nd floor. The menus are spread around, or take a look at the digital screens. Menus here are powered by Taphunter, so if you have the app, you can see your selections at your fingertips. Prices on all drinks are a bit high, even during happy hour times. The selection skews mostly local, which is always a positive, but there aren't any stand-out atypical selections. This is a great place to grab a good beer with friends. Staff was super friendly and eager to please.

We loved to go here for happy hour on Friday with the $15/dozen oysters, good pupu and drinks. Couple times I went here this but there was no oysters available so we passed. We were here today and again, no oysters but we decided to dine here. Like before, we were waiting by the entrance to be seated . For 15' , nobody seated us 3. Bar workers saw us waiting but didn't acknowledge or tell us anything. Then I saw a group of 4 people just went straight in and seated themselves at an empty table. I was wondering why? So I came inside and approached a server about not getting seated. She told me there was a sign at the front saying people can seat themselves at any open table. This is new to me. I went out and there was a sign which was placed behind the no oysters available-sign that indeed stating about the self seating rule. We went in and seated ourselves at an open table which was not yet been cleaned up. We then decided to leave because we didn't know how long it would take for our dinner to be served. I don't think I will be back but I do miss the good old days when things were different and I did enjoy dining here. read more

Came here for the preview tasting before their grand opening. Parking is a plus... Yay... Four levels of customer parking for Ward Village customers. The aisles and stalls are big! Fairly easy to navigate around, but I did mistakenly get into the service elevator when trying to find my way in after parking. Great atmosphere - modern, sleek, spacious, with various seating--around the bar, tables inside and outside, and a few tables to lounge around at. Seated at the high top tables right beneath the A/C that was unexpectedly colder than I was dressed for though... Cheerful, friendly staff - served by Beth and Natalie. Both were friendly and came around often to check on things, as well as other employees that came around to check. Appreciated that they mentioned the items that they didn't have beforehand. Food overall was not bad, but a few things could use some slight improvement. Simple menu, but had enough meat and non-meat options. Although... they didn't have any dessert options, which would've been nice to see. Cauliflower nachos - interesting dish. Deep fried cauliflower with nacho toppings. It was good. Did not feel heavy even though it was deep fried. Kalbi burger - good flavor and the patty was cooked well, but slightly dense than I'd like biting into it. The cook had a bit of a heavy hand on the salt for the fries. Yakitori - overall ok. They're not an izakaya obviously... but it was decent. Thought the portion would've been a little bigger for some reason.... Mixed tempura - mehh... the batter was thicker than I would've liked and wish there was a bit more sauce than was given. Seems like it's a nice, chill place to grab a beer or pupus before or after doing some grocery shopping. read more

Conveniently located. We ordered the Buffalo cauliflower, carnitas taco and fish and chips. I highly recommend the fish and chips! The fish is fresh and the batter is light and crispy. Pairs well with the malt vinegar. read more

I'll probably regret letting the cat out of the bag but a dozen oysters for $12 deserves 5 stars. And we aren't talking about grocery store oysters either, these are quality options. Yes the beer prices are a little on the high side. And I'm a bit sad they no longer offer a wine flight during happy hour, nevertheless, let's focus on the positives. If something on the menu doesn't tickle your fancy, you can always grab pizza or bbq outside and eat in at the restaurant. Staff is always friendly. Parking is free but expect parking in the first level can be scarce. The bar at Whole Foods is definitely a recommendation. read more

I don't know what happened to my plan not to visit the new Whole Foods in Kakaako on opening day. A friend and I decided it was most convenient to give it a try before a Yelp Elite event at the theaters next door. Of course, the expected general chaos was present in the store itself, but to my surprise we were seated at Two Tides Bar, located just inside the store entrance, within a minute of our arrival. We decided to sit at one of the high tops tucked away in a corner, and were immediately greeted by our friendly server. My friend wanted to try something on tap and our attentive server suggested sampling one first. We were both surprised at the size of the sample and my friend joked that it was enough, and that she wouldn't even need to order a full size! Even better, she wanted to try a second brew and the server brought another sample in the same size. The bar currently boasts 24 beers on tap, including some locally-brewed favorites. Now for the good stuff. We ordered the Cauliflower Nachos, which are tender, crisp crowns of cauliflower topped with chilis, avocado lime crema, and fresh cilantro and pico de gallo. Always a pleaser! I wasn't tremendously ravenous (unusual but true) and decided I'd try a few of the yakitori selections. I thought it interesting and fun to see yakitori on the menu but these traditional Japanese grilled, skewered, tiny bites fit the bill. I ordered the tsukune (chicken meatballs), pork belly, beef (marinated in a light, teriyaki-ish sauce), asparagus, and chicken. For the more adventurous eaters who enjoy an authentic chicken gizard, those are available too! I was very happy with all of my choices, but my favs were the beef and tsukune. My friend ordered a dish (sorry guys I was so overwhelmed that I was actually there on opening day that I forgot to take a pic of the menu and do not know what it's called), but suffice it to say that it was what appeared to be a deep-fried portobello mushroom atop a bed of veggie "pasta" tossed in a light dressing. She wasn't particularly impressed with it and ended up packing most of it up to go. Overall, it was a pretty pleasant experience and for those of you who can get there early enough, it's $2 off most food and drinks during Happy Hour! I'll definitely go back to try some of the other menu items as well as take a spin around the store. read more

Whooaaa! The Baja fish tacos are legit! Im really sorry I hate them before taking a photo for yelp, but no kidding-they are so delish! This place is like Disneyland for food. Gosh I love Whole Foods! read more

I only visited the 2nd floor bar with a limited liquor and bottle beer selection. Bigger selection of wine and draft beer. A decent happy hour, $2 off wine and draft beer Monday - Friday from 3pm-6pm. Limited menu at the bar but downstairs is a full restaurant with bigger menu and table service. read more

Whoa. When did Whole Foods get so fancy. I mean, besides a hugely beautiful grocery store, now there's also a two story bar? Wow. The bar itself has both inside and outside seating. You can only take alcohol outside on the second floor lanai. They've got a huge selection of beer and wine as well as cocktails. It's a little on the pricey side but overall a pretty sick spot to grab a drink before or after getting your shopping on. read more

Hours are false. Walked in at 7:20 and was told their kitchen was basically already closed. I went down the street to Waikiki Brewing instead. Better service and better food. read more

This review has two parts - drink and food. Drink: Happy hour is legit!! It's $2 off beer and wine and if you play your cards right you can walk out of here nice and toasty for not a lot of money. I usually go for the sparkling wine - it comes out to $4 a can. This usually gives me about 3 glasses of champagne. What a deal! Also, on Fridays they do select pints for $5. These are usually expensive craft beers that you get at a cheaper price. Food: HORRIBLE. I usually just make a salad and bring it over to the bar since they allow you to bring your own food if you got it inside the market. But one morning my boyfriend and I tried the brunch and it was probably the worst brunch I've ever had. We ordered a loco moco with a medium burger and the patty was so burnt it tasted like cardboard. It takes a lot for me to send my food back but I couldn't even eat one bite. So they made it again and it was almost worse!! The kind bartender took the item off our bill since he could see that it wasn't edible. A few days ago we ordered french fries while watching football and they took about 30-40 minutes. We were even tempted to cancel our order and walk out but we still had another quarter left in the game... But once again the bartenders were very apologetic. We have had some good experiences with the kitchen but there were definitely more bad than good. Aside from the kitchen being a disaster, I love the atmosphere (good place to get some work done while having a drink) and the fact that I can make myself a nice big salad from the salad bar in the market and then bring it over to enjoy with a beer. They also have a lot of tvs so you can watch sports! Even though I gave this place 3 stars I will keep coming here weekly but will definitely stop ordering food from the kitchen and bring my meals over from the market. read more

Meh. I've experienced better is a great way to describe this place. Sitting at the bar we had two different bartenders helping us. One was seemingly an inorganic compound, kind of a blob who didn't do anything to add to the experience. The other was very friendly and helpful when the first failed to follow up on our order. As to our order: The drinks were fine, though the Mai Tai was made with a different recipe each time (2 bartenders, two different drinks). The food was good, but THIRTY MINUTES for a Poke Bowl??? When I asked, at 20 minutes, where it was the good bartender said it had been ordered and she didn't know where it was. But it still took another ten minutes for it to arrive. Additionally my wife's burger with sweet potato fries was cooked perfectly at medium rare, but the fries were regular fries and it took another ten minutes for the correct order to come out (but I. was still waiting on poke....) So a mixed bag. Had the service been better it would have gone a long way towards making up for the kitchen, but in the future, if I decide to stop here, I will most likely only grab a slice of pizza at whole foods, and then have a happy hour beer at Two Tides. read more

Pretty casual place. Decent beer selection and the food was ok. I would like to see a bigger food selection. Oysters were good but other items should be added like Poke, etc. I'm pretty sure whole foods has a poke bar so add some to this bar as well. read more

Fiance and I came here after YELP Movie night; so it was a bit late. Most food in the menu were sold out. (bummer). We just ordered whatever it available because of hunger. We probably will just have to come back next time to try their golden star food items. Pretty convenient that they are located by WARD Theater. I will not say why but local probably can figure that I'm very glad that their building is so accessible near the theater. (*wink*wink*) We saw two bar, up and downstairs. Dylan which the bartender at that night provided us an excellent customer service. He let us taste a few beer while we try to find the good one and my fiance found according to his liking. I just ordered a strawberry lemonade and enjoyed it as well. The view is awesome though, probably on a very good day when the sun is not beaming hot and with a cool breeze, a perfect day to chill and *muni-muni* (reflect on thoughts mindfully) while sipping the drink that kiss you heart. read more

Went for the special. The oysters took I kid you not, about 40 minutes to come out. We almost walked out.

Haven't tried this place yet. Looking forward to it! I have heard many great things from friends and family.

Happening bar inside Whole Foods. I've been to both bars. Upstairs is more cozy. Prices kinda high, $8/pint and mixed drinks more of course. No happy hour on weekend. Bartender said Wednesday nights $5/pints but will be busy. Will try one day. Mango beer yummy! read more

Met up with my friends for some pupus before the Yelp at the Blaisdell. It was busy but not packed. They had a Special Beer Event going on but we got a table. Waitress was there to take our orders. We ordered Happy Hour Specials off the menu. Battered Cauliflower, Beyond Burger, Fries, and Cauliflower Nachos. All that were served was delicious. Definitely would order again. I drank a ice tea, it came with free refill. My friends ordered beers that were on Special for $5 pints. They were happy with their selections. The menu had a detailed description of the brews. It lost a star since one of my friends beers got lost. read more

After many times being mistreated at this place. I decided to let people know, how terrible service and servers are this place. Waiters are Super pushing. Don't respect and rude to customers. I suggested to avoid this place no matter what. read more

You definitely get a good value on food and beverages vs. going out to a restaurant. Fish and chips were generous- big cuts of fish. Very tasty. Burger was also goo. Chicken wings were ok. The team leader Ashley seems irritated a lot of the time. Wish she would have a nicer/kinder disposition. She seemed super irritated by customers. read more

So weird! So I don't want to give this place a bad rating because I know the local workers are awesome. I also have always really enjoyed this bar. But their COVID regulations are just . . . Bazaar. I can literally sit at the bar and the bar tender can't take your order. You have to get up and walk to the other side of the bar to order. Then they make the drink but can't hand it to you. They walk right past you and leave it at this station. I'm sure this all made sense in some corporate office but it's a spectacle at best in practice. PLEASE CORPORATE OFFICE, let the bartenders serve you. We're all either vaccinated or idiots at this point. read more

I went here with a friend after yoga for drinks and some food and was happy with the experience! I really love the bar at the Kahala Whole foods so was hoping to love this one as well. I wasn't exactly sure where to order from but a really kind employee came over to give us menus right away. I loved the little nook with comfy chairs we chose to sit in but there is also ample room at the bar and outdoor spaces to eat. There is also a second floor even though I haven't checked it out yet. I ordered the vegan burger and it came fast and was delicious. It came with a lot of fries to share! We also chose from some of their beers on tap. They have a lot of great local options. You can also get food from the hot bar within Whole foods and eat it in this area. I was impressed with the service and the atmosphere and will definitely be back! read more

Love this place...I love that it's a no frills place that you can come after work and get some drinks and bring in the food you purchase downstairs at Whole Foods. They have a pretty good happy hour where they feature libations that are sold in the store for $2-$3 cheaper. They do have a limited pupu menu but I would recommend just going downstairs and getting something super 'ono like the brisket...mmm. On some nights they have live music, like the awesome Randy Allen... this place is super family friendly, so life doesn't have to end once you have the kiddos! read more

Pretty decent happy hour specials. Good selection of drafts and spirits but most importantly, excellent service from the bartender Kyra! The rest of the crew was nice and helpful as well. If you get the wings, maybe try blue cheese dipping sauce because the ranch sauce had a really odd flavor. Not a fan. Otherwise, great experience. Definitely be back for happy hour. read more

Two Tides Bar is a nice, trendy bar where you can either order food from the bar or bring in whatever food you purchase from Whole Foods. It's a two level bar but you can only purchase their food from the first level. I've been there on two separate occasions and on both occasions the bartenders there were inattentive, ignored you and took forever to take our drink orders. The worst part is that both we were sitting at the bar both times and not on the tables. So I know it was not from not seeing us. I can understand that they are busy due to it being a new hot spot, but at least acknowledge our existence. The only redeeming quality is that they offer quite a few vegan options and for Dillion, who was our server when we moved to the first level. He was the only one who helped us right away and was very attentive throughout. He even told us "Teamwork makes the dream work". But it seemed like he was the only player on the team. I've been to many bars (trust me). And I have never seen bartenders who do not enjoy what they're doing until Two Tides Bar. I mean how hard is it to crack a smile? read more
