We stumbled upon this spot and it was so lively for a Monday! They have live music a few times a week. We met the singer who has been performing for decades and is super friendly. Staff is also friendly and visibly hardworking. We only had some onion rings and a beer which were 10/10. read more

Cuckoo Coconuts Waikiki - Onion rings and beer and miffy - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I found a tiki bar in Waikiki and was in the mood for a blue Hawaiian. Honestly, the experience didn't live up to the hype. For nearly $20 a drink, serving them in plastic cups felt underwhelming. The pricing is also not it- they add a 15% service fee automatically, and then ask for a tip on top of that during checkout. Spending $42 on two basic drinks felt like a poor value. The only saving grace was probably the live music, but it was too loud to even have a conversation. read more

I had an out-of-town visitor who really wanted a pina colada in a pineapple and I figured we'd visit Tiki's Meeting Spot near my house and get one. Come to find out Tiki's literally had closed a few days earlier so headed over to this similar establishment. Tiki's used to do happy hour specials so I was hoping Cuckoo Coconuts would be similar, but our server said sadly, no happy hour prices here. Full price cocktails it will be then! They are a bit on the higher side but I do feel like they give you your drink's worth--there's enough alcohol to feel like you're drinking a cocktail, not just a slushy. My chi-chi was tasty, although not as coconutty or creamy as I thought it might be. My friend enjoyed her $26 pina colada in a pineapple shell, and the presentation was great, with the top on the pineapple and a little paper umbrella. My husband got an Amaretto sour and it was good. Live musicians were tuning up while we were here and there's a decibel reader nearby, presumably because it may get loud here. Nice place to go if you want a tiki-style drink in a casual environment. I will say that I am going to miss Tiki's Meeting Spot's happy hour prices and I can't do $17 cocktails all too often. read more

Chill bar with tasty frozen drinks. Quick service with various drink options and some good eats as well. Looks like there's a band section but they weren't playing when we went earlier in the day. Would come again for another freezey drink! read more

Went to this spot on recommendation of a DL flight attendant. They have live music at 7p. Got here at 600p and was dead. By 7p pretty rocking. The band plays oldies and are are more than competitive! It's a dive bar in paradise! Down the block is Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany's... you get the neighborhood. Ordered the Real Pina Colada served in a real pineapple and were fantastic! Ok at $26 they should be and were. Started with calamari. A little rubbery but still ate them! Their horseradish cocktail sauce made them a lot better. Then ordered a Mai Tai. When in the islands! Y Not! It was not the most memorable I have had. Would pass I future. The Hawaiian fish and chips were plentiful but more importantly just plain Outstanding! The garlic shrimp also excellent. If you are looking for "fancy" this ain't it. But fun it is! read more

We decided to come to Cuckoo after a night of lazing on the beach and it was surprising one of the few bars that was open past 8:30pm. At first sight the bar looks super fun and inviting, almost looking like a themed tiki bar. There was no line surprisingly however and we were seated instantly but inside there were tons of people and a live performance taking place which made the atmosphere too loud to have a conversation. Once we were seated we decided to order a Pina colada and share as well as some onion rings. Unfortunately the onion rings fell flat and were overly battered, and the Pina colada while aesthetic and served in a whole pineapple, lacked flavor and was not that sweet. We ended up heading out pretty soon after the drink/bites were done as we could barely have a conversation and hear each other. We left quite unsatisfied after the experience and ended up ordering some uber eats to our hotel later, as most places near us were closed. read more

We went on the rainiest of Fridays, trying to make the best of the storm. The servers had raincoats, and despite the rain, kindness and smiles. We had drinks in pineapples and excellent chicken "stripes". The live music was excellent. read more

If you are crazing a fresh and hard hitting pina colda Cuckoo Coconuts Waikiki is a must for your next trip to Honolulu !!! They serve it in a full size pineapple fresh from the island so you get that irresistible fresh pineapple and refreshing coconut with dark and light rum. The food hit the spot as well with the spicy garlic shrimp having a lot of flavor and the jalapeño poppers were fried perfect and felt like a Super Bowl party exactly what I was craving. This place is all about the island vibes with a casual and fun environment with live music and a friendly service that got me what I needed quickly. I will be back next time I'm in Waikiki !! read more

Tourist here: I have no complaints... We had no wait time, service was incredible fast, and the food was fresh... it's a Fun vibe inside or I guess I should say outside as it's just a bunch of tents... we got the calamari, fish and chips, coconut shrimp which all was soo good... I might have to say the fish and chips was by far the best.. they used sea bass and had a light buttery flavored batter.. I also got the virgin pina colada and it was soo good, more pineapple flavored which I was down with... Highly recommend, esp to get away from all the resort people.. read more

We had a burger and fish and chips. Reasonably priced with great service. It was a slow Monday night as we showed up not long before closing, but it was just what the doctor ordered as we had just gotten into town. I had a Pina Colada as well and it was pretty good. I can imagine it would be fun when the place is in full swing. It's right by the Hyatt where we stayed. read more

Pretty nice place. We went around 5pm and it was pretty empty. Food is good and drinks are tasty. It is not a fancy place at all though, chairs are plastic, cups for cocktails are plastic. However what I liked were sauces. Many big bottles so you don't have to ask for refills. read more

Great vibes overall! This is what I would imagine a tiki bar in Oahu. There's a live band that plays 1-2 hours before closing. It's pretty idealistically located 1-2 walking distance min away from the main tourist streets. There are many tables and it's great for groups and couples to wind down for the night but to keep a good buzz for the night. Great bar food and curated drinks to fit the tiki theme. Blue Hawaiian: On the light sweeter side. More of an alcoholic pineapple flavor. Mai Tai: Sweeter than the blue Hawaiian. Great fruity and safe drink to get if you want a sweeter alcohol. Very refreshing! read more

One of my favorite nights on the island, and that's saying a lot. Whenever you want to take a break from the phenomenal fancy bites on the island, this is the place to unwind for some great bar food and live band! The pina colada in a pineapple is a MUST! One of the best pinas I've ever had and they definitely don't skimp on the alcohol like other places. read more

Get the real pina colada! It comes in a big pineapple for $26 and it's so worth it. The place also has live music and the service is amazing as the servers are fast and attentive. I loved coming here during my stay, it felt so relaxing and just vibed to the music while eating food. We also got the fish and chips and the cheeseburger which are big portions as well, worth the bucks! Go here!!! :) read more

This place was great! I was looking for a more chill, dive type bar. Cuckoo coconuts met and exceeded the expectation. Drinks were not the cheapest but were poured well and strong enough to make it worth the premium pricing. Live music was great. Bartenders were friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend if you want a touch of the more down to earth vibes in Waikiki. read more

This is a fun place to get Hawaiian cocktails & food. Great live band but only drawback is no dancing allowed. We just sang along & swayed in our seats. We'll be back next time we visit Oahu. read more

Stopped in for a quick drink and ended up staying longer than planned! The staff was super friendly and welcoming. We came on a weekday around 5 PM, and it was nice and quiet--perfect for relaxing. By 8 PM, the place was buzzing with energy while the band played (and yes, remember: no dancing allowed!). The drinks were absolutely delicious--tropical vibes in a glass. Great spot to chill early or enjoy the lively atmosphere later in the evening. Definitely worth a visit! read more

It's a local/dive bar, by my standards (that's a plus for me) Sunday evening we walked right in. Greeted warmly, and offered a table. I asked if we could move to a table since it was hot inside and they had tables with fans overhead. Thank goodness!! Local beer on draft $7.50. Live music. Cool band playing 70's and 80's tunes. We did not eat. It's bar menu items. They have a strict NO Dancing allowed at all... I asked our waiter why the NO dancing. It's posted everywhere, and the band mentioned it anyone gets up to dance they have to stop playing. The reason was because of Covid, and management left it that way. Lots of picture ops!!!! Jerry, Jerry, Jerry...... read more

I visited a couple tiki bars in Honolulu, but this was by far the best. This place grabs you with music as you're walking by. Their menu is big just like their dishes and drinks. They had great mai tais, but must get their pina colada which is served in a pineapple. The servers keep the food and drinks coming and the band is very entertaining. I'll be sure to come back the next time I'm in Honolulu. read more

This was the worst "MaiTai" we encountered during a week visit to Waikiki. It was so bad that we only had a few sips before abandoning it despite paying $16 for a drink served in a plastic cup. It was not only NOT a MaiTai, it tasted like sewage. Additionally the bar offers live music which makes conversation impossible but also has a ban on dancing. The server took forever to get back to us and didn't ask how everything was because I'm sure she knew it was awful. The only good thing about the experience was the slice of fresh pineapple garnish. Take a picture with the large Tiki out front and then keep walking until you get to the Hideout at LayLow where you can get a proper cocktail. read more

Cuckoo Coconuts Waikiki - Hawaiian Tango - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Cool little tiki bar. Cute vibe and really tasty drinks. I ordered something called the "Hawaiian Tango". Coconut rum, gin, and mango juice. The drinks are a bit spendy. Mine was $17. My wife ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl and it's super tasty. Both our drinks and the food was served very promptly. Looks like they have some live music tonight, but it's interesting that there is no dancing allowed here. I think it's an insurance thing. Anyway, a good experience. I would come back. read more

We hear live music emanating from this establishment the night before, so we decided to give it a go. Live music is from 7:00-10:00pm, and it is LOUD. If anyone in your party is sensitive to loud noises then they shouldn't come during this timeframe. The menu is very limited, so you may want to review what they offer to see if it's right for you. Below are the items we had: Chicken wings *** Teriyaki chicken bowl *** Salad with teriyaki chicken *** (they give a lot of chicken but the bell peppers are just chopped and not de-seeded) Coconut shrimp (not pictured) **** Hot dog (not pictured) **** Our server was nondescript--so I will say service was average. I like the vibe here with the music but I'd probably just come for drinks and a good time. read more

Love the food, service and music. The only drawback is they don't allow dancing. The band plays totally dance music! Why the Management does not allowed dancing is mystery to me! I wish they would change that. I'm sure they would bring in a much larger crowd. The drinks are powerful and delicious! Worth the price! Restaurant was only halfway full. It has a lot of potential. read more

We stumbled upon this place on our first night in Oahu; tired from our travel day and ready to initiate vacation mode, we heard the music , saw their drinks and decided to take a chance. While there are many options for live music, we found ourselves back for more (at least 3 times during our visit) because we enjoyed how laid back the vibe was and how you can just chill at a table with your drink or join a lively party in the back. The bands were fun , the service was quick , we were seated very quickly, even on busy nights and we enjoyed their cocktail selection.

We were looking for a Pina Colada after dinner and came across this place. It's an interesting set up as it's "outdoors" and created by tents. There were signs posted around saying "No Dancing". Not sure if it was a joke, but found it a little weird especially since it's like a bar atmosphere with live music. We shared a pina colada in a pineapple, which was a little pricey for what it was and there was barely any alcohol in the drink. Probably wouldn't be on my list of places to go again. read more
