The bar can provide darts for you to play with, but we bring our own. The waitresses are always so attentive and helpful. They stop by multiple times to ask if you need anything. Keeping an open tab with them is probably the easiest way to go for both parties. We decided to try the Korean Fried Chicken since it was on a special for that day. And boy was it good! The flavor was great, it was cooked just right, everything about it made me want to come back and order it again. Which I probably will! There is ample parking for this bar in the parking structure above it and across the street in the old Sears parking lot at pearl ridge mall. This place can get a bit busy on weekend nights, but a very chill vibe/spot to go to after a work day if you want to have a beer with some friends or coworkers.

Planned to meet a few friends for pau hana this past Thurs and decided to try Blue Tropix on the…read morerecommendation of a friend. I arrived at 5 pm, there was preseason football playing and the little league game on the TVs. The bar was maybe 50% full and 4 tables with customers. I walked around, looking for my friends, but I was the first to arrive. There was no greeting or instruction from anyone who resembled an employee, so I found an empty table and sat down. Five minutes went by... Ten minutes... My friends text to say they were running late, I told them it was fine because I hadn't seen a server yet. Around 15 minutes after arriving and seating myself, a girl stopped by to introduce herself as my server. She left and returned with menus, but didn't bring the pau hana one, which is what we went for. She brought the pau hand menu and I decided to order one of everything, so we wouldn't have to wait longer when my friends arrived. The food arrived fairly quickly after being ordered, which was great because everyone arrived to hot food. The nachos and fries were decent, wings were average, but the lumpia left something to be desired. The filling was mushy and they just looked sad. Our server forgot drinks on several occasions, I couldn't find her at one point for something. Overall, I'd give the service 1.5 out of 5 and the food 3. The service would have been a 2, but after everything, when I asked for the bill, they brought me the POS terminal. Nothing itemized, I also wanted to pay cash. It is important to note that the pau hana prices are awesome

Located in Uptown part of Pearlridge where Macy's and Ross's are. A few doors down from Starbucks…read moreand Cookie Corner on Diamond head side of mall. Large, open, bright space with long wooden tables, stools with no backs, and high tables with same. A few big screen tvs mounted on walls with sports going on. Ladies, it's not just a place for beer. They also have delicious variety of cocktails and mocktails. Server was very nice and let us know to use our phones to scan the QR on table. You order from here and pay too. The server won't come to take your order. Not sure how this is handled if you have no phone. They may have menus and drinks written on chalkboard at bar or maybe request a paper menu. She brought us waters with a bottle to refill on our own, plates, cutlery and napkins. Drinks didn't take long and were deliciously concocted. We ordered chips with ahi dip- lots of dip and not enough chips but I'm sure if you asked for more they would acquiesce. Yummy and right flavor not too salty. Also onion rings which were large and plenty in the basket! You had choice of ranch dressing or brown mustard and we wanted to mix so she said no problem and brought them! Then we had to try the dessert flight which were three cute little prepared sweets of crème Brûlée, strawberry shortcake and a brownie with some type of custard on top. Yum! Place was clean, not too loud, and a restroom inside their place which was nice. All the servers were friendly, pleasant and made sure we had what we needed, clearing plates and glasses, keeping table clean. We really enjoyed powering up before power shopping so will return!

The place looked inviting and we were interested in what they had to offer. We were greeted by a…read moreserver who explained that there was paper menu and a qr code to view the memu. QR Code is most current and is rhe only way to place your order. We got rhe Hall Burger and a Smash Burger. The Hall Burger was a nivel thick patty. The Smash Burger was a thin miniscule piece of meat. The Smash comes with Sautéed Mushrooms and Carmelized Onoions. I had to send it back. There was two small slivers of onion and no apparent mushrooms. Server returned to let me know there was mushroom paste, but it says sautéed. Even after sending back my meal there was little change. Slightly more cooked - not caramelized - onions and a smear more mushroom paste. Over all food quality and presentation is poor at best. Descriptions are lacking information or out right deceptive. Prices are high, yet the quality and value are not reflected in the product. Overall the experience was disappointing. Over priced menu items. I would not recommend this establishment unless you are wanting craft beer. The selection of beers are limited.

I've been here twice on Fridays, don't know if they play music on any other days but each time the entertainment was excellent. We just listened to Eric Lee who is an awesome talent. In am pretty sure that he won some Na Hoku awards. His voice is awesome. We left after him at about 8:00 and a large band was setting up to play some music geared for the younger crowd. The food is good, huge menu. Also, the bar is well stocked and this place really fills up on Friday nights. It is a truly fun place to be and I recommend that you research the music before you go.

Would not recommend this place to any one other than having a beer at the bar to kill time. Don't expect any service whatsoever

I had a really frustrating experience at Eight50 Bar and won't be returning…read more From the start, service was off. Our waitress seemed far more focused on celebrating her birthday than actually doing her job. It showed. Orders were inconsistent and poorly handled. I ordered mozzarella sticks and chicken wings, and someone else in my party who ordered wings after me received their food first. It got worse. When the mozzarella sticks finally came out, the waitress took them to a completely different table--people who arrived after us. At that point, I had to track down another waitress just to figure out what was going on. To her credit, she stepped up, apologized, and comped both the mozzarella sticks and the chicken wings. She was the only bright spot in the whole experience. Then came the bill. It was loaded with items I never ordered. I pointed it out, and the same helpful waitress said she would fix it. She brought back a corrected bill for around $7, then later returned again with another version around $8 or $9. It seemed resolved at the time. But the next morning, I checked my bank account and saw that I was charged the full amount anyway. Between the inattentive service, incorrect food delivery, billing errors, and now being overcharged, this was a complete miss. The only reason this isn't a one-line review is because one staff member actually tried to make things right--but unfortunately, that wasn't enough to fix everything else that went wrong. I'd recommend double-checking your bill here... and honestly, considering going somewhere else.
