I highly recommend coming here for great vibes, amazing drinks and wonderful service from Jamie and the staff. Located in Downtown Pearl Ridge at the Wai Makai Food Court, it's a convenient and great place to gather. Weekend afternoons and nights can get fairly busy, but we came on a Sunday mid-morning and got to relax and watch the game. Got to try their Holiday Cocktail menu which was reasonably priced and picture worthy. It's a smaller area but the decorations were cute and festive. They have great Happy Hour (4-6pm daily) deals and allow you to bring food from outside and enjoy it with your drink.
Such an amazing place! Due to the unfortunate events that caused valor to stop live music, I hope they can bring it back, it was great to have a place to drink, dance and listen to some great bands and it was central for those who live on the west side of the island. Tons of parking, only cause valor is located in the mall, exactly where the food court is. Valor is quite spacious and the bartenders are cool, the drinks are not as pricey compared going to Waikiki to watch live music. I would only go back if they bring back live music, but will support them as a pretty great establishment.
If you're looking for a place with good cocktails, an interesting vibe, look no further than VALOR!!! Located upstairs in the Pearlridge mall in the food court by the theaters. My friends and I decided to have a drink in the afternoon. We were lucky enough to come during 4-6 when they have pau hana specials. $3 off cocktails!!! Originally, we came for one drink and because our first drink was good we decided to stay and try a few more. We started with the classic espresso martini, which was strong but good cocktail. We then decided to switch the flavor palate to something more sweet and this is where we really enjoyed our drinks. My friends decided to try the Mango Margarita which had a li hing mui rim and I decided to try the Sweet Like Celina. If your looking for a not too sweet drink, then the Mango Margarita is the drink to get, but if your looking for a strawberry based sweet but strong drink, then Sweet Like Celina is the drink for you. The only thing they are missing is the food, hence 4 stars vs 5. They do have a small charcuterie board on the menu or I think you can get food from the near by food court eateries and bring it over to the bar. Other wise everything else was great, I will definitely be back!!
Amazing and different drinks. Well thought out recipes. The fruit loops was a surprise how good it tasted. Jamie is so quick and personable. They play sound for the games so def a place to drop by! Close to the airport and even if you don't want to shop it's a quick walk from the parking lot
Cheers! Literally as we decided to grab a drink with about 45 minutes to our movie time which is quite a bit yet not enough to explore too far or for any seating at a restaurant this location does made it really convenient to a quick sip. I remember seeing some holiday sips though there wasn't any menu that display the new sips even as we looked over via QR code which also seems like there was just one bartender that was working it all and with a semi full bar top no one approached us or even gave us a look/hello was a bit sad. I approached the bar area still nothing there was another staff though not quite sure what role she had both was understandably busy but as I walked around the bar area and found the holiday menu there looked it over and even as the bartender had noticed me still not a single word. Eventually I got my order in and immediately cashed out versus keeping a tab I though to do so as getting their attention again would make us late for our movies and got of course got drinks from their menu though they made one of the wrong drink we nevertheless enjoyed them. I got "Deck the Ball" and bestie wanted the Winter Wonderland but got the "Merry Mistle Brew" it was wonderfully powerful but so good my drink came in a glass ornament and hers a bougie brew with sprinkles as we chat and sip it was time before we know it and left for our movies. I do love the vibe and it was a nice spot though wished they had more comfy seating versus the typical bar seats but will be back as we have another night of movies planned. Thank you!
Had dinner at the mall and decided to go to Valor afterwards. The drinks were really well done. I liked that they were not too sweet, but very balanced. I could tell the bartenders took great care in preparing everyone's drinks. Will definitely be back!
If someone told me that they put a bar next to the movie theaters, I wouldn't believe them! It's a nice area to grab a drink with a friend or have a drink before seeing the movie. I'm not sure if you're able to get a drink and get food from the food court. My friend told me that Fridays and Saturdays, the food court turns into a club. That's very interesting to hear. But anyways, I selected a Mai Tai. I know it's very touristy, but hey, I haven't been home in a couple of years so I think it's okay. haha! The bartender had a heavy hand OR I haven't had a Mai Tai in a while and my tolerance has declined at an embarrasing level. I had a couple of sips and I immediately felt warm. My friend ordered a Japanese high ball type of drink and he liked it a lot! He also ordered the mule on the menu and switched the vodka to the Japanese whiskey. He was pleasantly surprised how delicious it tasted! Thanks for the drinks, Valor!
This place is a total vibe! Perfect for a holiday hangout with friends. Their holiday drinks were not only adorable but tasted amazing. My friends and are definitely coming back for more. I had to try a few festive sips of their limited time holiday drink specials, and they were all soooooo goooood! It's a bit weird being in a mall, but the atmosphere is super cool. Great spot to grab a drink or catch a game. The drink menu is huge, so there's something for everyone. They don't serve food, but you can always buy food from the Food Court and eat in, which is awesome! The night my friends and I met up, they did a little intermission between 8pm - 9pm since they closed during the hour. But they were prepping for a concert (Natural Vibrationz), that we later attended during the night. This is a fantastic addition to the mall scene!
Inside the mall in the food court. One side is bar and the other issues Cinnabon and Panda Express. Also next to Subway sandwiches, trippy. Then there's The Heist. They smoke infuse it in a safe and you open it when you feel it has enough smoke for you. Amazing! Then there was the espresso martini which was also pretty darn good. Last but not least, they have a Monday night special, after 8 pm, for industry, first responders and military. Friendly service on this Monday night.
Hot New Bar in Pearlridge Mall, Aiea, O'ahu, Hawaii... Valor is located upstairs of "Downtown Pearlridge". It's a great location - in the food court next to Consolidated Theater. Just go up the escalator (near Hallmark) to the Subway, Sbarro, and Rainbow Drive-In area. Jamie was our efficient, friendly, and helpful server. My friend asked Jamie what Valor's specialty is... Espresso Martini... This was confirmed by my friend's niece, who saw it on Instagram... Bam! My friend got the "Sweet Like Celina" with a fresh strawberry garnish. It had a vodka base and homemade strawberry puree. She liked it. I got a refreshing Coke - because "it's the Real Thing"! Hee hee! We enjoyed the clean, open bar with many large screens to view sports, WSOP, and other channels. This is a very convenient location with restrooms in the far corner of the Food Court. While your other half is shopping downstairs, you can rest and have some refreshments! Come check it out!
My husband and I took our friend here while we waited to be called for our table at GEN. We were just going to walk around the mall but found this bar inside and decided to grab a drink. The bar looks really new and it's very large with seats at the bar itself and large bar tables around the bar as well. I ordered the chunky monkey cocktail and it was SOOOO yummy! I highly highly recommend it. I could have drank 10 of them but I'm pretty sure they are super strong lol. Every Monday they have 50% off for all military which I love as im a part of a military household myself. They also have happy hour every day from 4-6pm. The staff is super nice and efficient. They were patient with me when I couldn't decide what I wanted initially. Nothing but smiles! The manager also rounded all the groups and made sure we were all okay and had what we needed! This was probably the best service I've gotten in a Hawaiian bar in a long time! We will probably be coming back here!
Welcome to Aiea Valor! This 5 star review is based on their amazing cocktails. It is hard to really rate a "bar" when they don't serve food but this deserved my Yelp review because rarely does a place make me 5 custom drinks that are soooooooo good!!!! So this bar is set up on the side area of the Pearlridge food court. Located literally next to the Subway and the escalators to go down to the Hallmark floor of the mall. SUPER casual. This is not a fancy date night type of vibe. Only seats are the high bar chairs until the mall closes, then people can sit in the food court area. This is not a place to have a gathering of like 10 friends as, again, you sit at the high top bar. So more of a pop in, have a great cocktail..or two.. and your out. Now, you CAN go get food from the food court vendors and eat it at the bar. We had Yummy Korean BBQ but there is a pizza place and other things up there. If I had to recommend a drink, it would be to get the expresso flight. ALL 3 of the drinks are full sized and are delicious. Plenty of free parking of course at Pearlridge.
I tried their two cocktails.. sweet like celina and purple bliss. Celina must have been one really sweet lady cause dannng, the drink was really sweet and made me feel the jitters. Purple Bliss was much better and I liked the flavor more, but they add this giant block of ice that's the same height as the cup, so you probably get one small shot glass worth of drink in that. LOL but I guess that's how most bars make money, right!?

valor is such a hidden gem inside pearlridge. the cocktails are creative and delicious--favorites like the smoked old fashioned and espresso martini flight really hit the spot. the vibe is chill yet lively, with live music on weekends that keeps the energy up without being overwhelming. it's the perfect place to unwind after shopping or to start your night out. the staff is friendly and attentive, making sure you have a great experience every time. definitely a go-to spot for quality drinks and good times. read more

A fantastic and unexpected experience from this establishment whose quality of cocktails is only surpassed by the warmth and hospitality of those serving them. The owner was there and very engaging. He actively edited the music selection seemingly adjusting based on the patronage which created an ambiance of every person there tapping a foot while sipping a drink. There was hip-hop, local music, and my wife and I even two-stepped to a country song. It was amazing how this was done seamlessly so that everyone enjoyed it however still feeling unforced and inclusive. Apparently they even have live music occasionally however not that night, I can't wait to return and experience that. The owner, a Marine veteran whose experience lent itself the name of the bar, was an absolute delight. He was engaging, listening to my story, and telling me his. He purchased my wife and I a round and let us sample some of his personal creations that have been submitted to competitions (see crazy pics). In the end we left there wanting more and can't wait for the next date night! read more

New chic and stylish bar located right next to the pearlridge movie theater, bring a little taste of town to central Oahu! Cocktails are not only cute and aesthetic but are also well crafted and tasty! Staff is very friendly and service was great as well. They also have live music from local artist which is a plus!Hours are very flexible opening from 12pm-12am so it's perfect for either a quick drink after a long shift or a night out with some friends. If you're a fan of red or white wine, you NEED to get the wine with charcuterie board! It's so delicious and definitely one of my favs! read more

I love this place in Pearlridge Mall. What a brilliant idea! A bar with multiple TV's in a large mall, surrounded by food places and next to movie theatre. You can buy food from food court (many eateries to choose from and eat in bar area. Perfect for a family setting. Daughter and I went shopping, then we were hungry and wanted to watch NFL games, win win for all. We also had an amazing bartender, Naomi, very friendly, patient, overall awesome service. We will be back, want to check out the live music at night. read more

Chris is the best! The service is quick, and the atmosphere is relaxed since it's located in the food court. During off-peak times, you can sit for as long as you want and enjoy hanging out with friends. Plus, you get access to clean restrooms and plenty of parking at Downtown Pearlridge. read more

Amazing service. Delicious cocktails. The best espresso martinis I ever had! Their classic was really good (tasted like mocha) but was actually my least favorite compared to the Emerie's (tequila) espresso martini and the coconut espresso martini. The others were just that good. Even the Japanese Paloma was super refreshing. Gotta give this guy a try. I'll be driving out to Pearlridge more often just to come here. read more
