This place really just doesn't have anything going for it. Yes, you can sit at one of their cheap tables placed on a dilapidated concrete floor and drink a Budweiser, but that's about it. If you want decent food go elsewhere. They do have live music (which you're not allowed to dance to). read more

Very fun time! Definitely come visit this spot for a pineapple rum drink! They have live music and good snacks to munch on while jamming out! read more

Very slow service. Music is hit and miss depending on the performers. They had some delicious drinks but took so long! The business is not equipped to handle the large crowds the music brings read more

First time visiting Oahu and not a single spot I visited while I was here for two weeks compares. Drinks weren't over priced and not watered down like many spots here on Waikiki. The live music by lily and Jesse we're the cherry on top. This spot made our nights in Oahu enjoyable!! read more

Cuckoo Coconuts Waikiki - Awesome singing along with lily - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

On our last night before heading home and after wandering arounf Waikiki a bit, we ended up here for a late dinner. We apparently had just missed karaoke night and the place was starting to clear out. We tucked ourselves away in the corner at the bar. We weren't overly hungry so I had a poke bowl and washed it down with a blue Hawaiian. The bowl was decent and it hit the spot. I also really liked the atmosphere with a tiki-bar sort of vibe under all the tents. read more

Strong drinks & fun atmosphere! You'll want to go after 7 when the live music starts and the place is lit up. Not as exciting during the day but still a fun spot to stop for a drink! read more

Cuckoo Coconuts has so much potential to be great but coming in here, the tables were sticky and gross. Waiters are nice but don't come often enough to check if you need another drink or food. Waited long periods of time between each drink. There was one lady singing the whole time it would have been nice to have karaoke be an option but I guess she's there a few times a week to entertain. What I didn't like was the bartender free pouring I think that's completely unprofessional and tasting the drinks you can definitely tell the ratios were off. The specialty drinks also had so much potential to be great but weren't. Also rather than the bartender pour our shots a server poured and definitely over poured this is definitely more than a shot of Tequila. So bad for the company and wasting money on over pouring. Not complaining about the free alcohol though. Ok place to come not great, wouldn't come back. read more

Live "dance" music but NO dancing is so lame! I won't be back or recommend this place

Loved the ambiance here! On a busy Friday night in Waikiki this place had no wait! The menu is simple and affordable. Don't let it fool you, the fish & chips was some of the best I've ever had. The fish just fell apart in my mouth. The drinks were good but strong so beware. I asked for my drink in a pineapple cuz I didn't want the pina colada and they were able to that for an upcharge to $17. Not bad for a drink that large! Only gripe is that the restrooms were a little dirty and unmaintained. read more

Love Hawaii in general. Great place. Authentic and very nice staff. I recommend stop in and check it out.

We went here based on a recommendation from a family member. We did arrive a little early so the line was not too bad and it actually flowed very quickly. Once inside the live band is playing and Norm and his band are fantastic! They had the whole restaurant singing and wanting to dance (but because of Covid we could not). The wait staff took a long time to come to our table takeout orders for both food and drinks and the food was OK. The restaurant is family friendly so if you're traveling with kids it is OK to take them in to enjoy the live music. My kiddos had a blast! Kudos to the bartender because the drinks were delicious. The old-school tiki themed tribute to Hawaii adds to the overall enjoy ability of your visit. It was really the ambience and energy of the restaurant that makes me give this place five stars. read more

What a great way to have a good time in Waikiki - a different band each night. Leilani who plays normally on Wednesday & Saturdays will sing to you personally. She's great with the crowd. I enjoyed each time we went. The staff is nice and the drinks are strong and fantastic. Mahalo read more

This was my first time here but was the greatest experience. From the live band to the quick and excellent service. The drinks were amazing and food was as well. If you're looking for a fun and good time this place is perfect.y favorite part had to be the love band. read more

This cute outdoor bar was so much fun! The live music was a lot of fun and they sang great songs. The atmosphere was really cool and it seemed like a lot of locals come there for the drinks. Drinks were good and strong. Really enjoyed this spot. read more

Visited this colorful tiki bar on a whim and was pleased by the food and drinks (real pina colada, Java Lava, pineapple burger). The singer and her band were hilarious and VERY interactive with the crowd, asking where everyone was from and handing off the microphone for impromptu karaoke. My husband and I were impressed by the range of songs that catered to all languages in the audience, like English, Japanese, Korean, etc, sung by a native Hawaiian gal. Very inclusive and fun. Everyone was up and dancing when we left. We're not bar people, so this tiki experience was exactly what we were hoping for on a visit to Hawaii. read more

I've been wanting to try this place out since my last trip I made to Waikiki and I stopped by on a Saturday night around maybe 9:30. Just outside the place, there seemed to be an altercation between some guests and one of the servers. The guest threw her water on the server, so, clearly, something was wrong. Not sure the extent of it. I went in and it was packed, there was a band on the stage and the crowd was having a great time. The crowd was on the...mature end...to say the least, but that doesn't bother me. I sat at the tiki bar, since all of the tables were filled. It was clear they were all trying to handle the situation out front and everyone seemed flustered and behind. I sat there for 10 minutes, grabbed my own menu and enjoyed the music. The entire time, no one at the bar served me or even looked at me. It would have been fine if one, of the many, people who were going in and out of the bar would have just acknowledged me with a "be right with you" or something similar...but no. So, sadly, though the rest of the crowd was having a grand time, I walked out. read more

Cuckoos might be my favorite thing on the island. Food is decent, drinks are a-1 and the Wednesday/Saturday band will blow your wig back. Highlight of every trip to Oahu. Hope this place never changes. read more

Tourist trap...but you're a tourist right? We've been here b15 (or more) times as we travel to Waikiki multiple times a year. Drinks: BAM they pack a punch. Food is bar food. Music: outstanding. You can't beat it. Staggered home from here more than a few times. Have a drink and take it in. read more

Is it touristy? YES Is it cheesy? YES Is it pure silly fun? YES Walking in you will see more lights then you would have on your Christmas tree. There's usually a 1 or 2 man band. Who doesn't like live music?? Silly people dance. You can grab some greasy grub. I have never eaten here. This place looks like a little tiki bar and you should come check it out. There are definitely some characters. read more

Oh my gosh, what a blast! My partner and I had dinner "upstairs" at Aloha Table, then as we were leaving, we noticed music happening under the umbrellas downstairs. Stopped in to check it out. Quite a campy but ridiculously fun place. We each got a killer MaiTai for $10 each and spent the evening dancing to a great band. Everyone -- staff and guests alike -- were super friendly which added to the fun. Would definitely go here again! read more

Great drinks, good food, sweet vibes the service was a little slow at first but it picked up.

Dope vibes, small little spot that is a bit hidden and very easy to miss. Toward the evening it seems to pop off a bit more with the live music and what not. Came with my girl and got a Pina colada in a pineapple. Fun experience for sure. read more

First time in Hawaii and this was the best bar to enjoy my anniversary. Love the music too.

The food and entertainment were good but the customer service is not. We're seated quickly but that's the only thing that was quick. Taking our order took a while and we waited a bit long. Our drinks and food are delish! The pork lau lau is so tender and tasty! I tried my husband's chicken teriyaki and it's also yummy! Both our drinks are delish but I forgot the names. Getting our bill took so long as well. But if you're ok on waiting, this place is really poppin if you want music and dancing during dinner. read more

My fiance came to this bar after hearing that it served some drinks in coconuts and pineapples! Also, the reviews mentioning that the drinks are strong were pretty encouraging too. Well I'm glad to report that: 1) They DO serve 2 drinks in fruit (one coconut based one in a coconut, and one pina colada with pureed pineapple in the pineapple) 2) Those drinks are STRONG (but still tasty) The venue is a cute little outdoors space--fiance said it was as if they took a small parking lot and made it a bar--but that thought really didn't cross my mind because they decorated the place so thoroughly and so well! Everywhere are patio umbrellas essentially creating a make-shift roof. Tiki statues decorate the corners. The nearby wall is covered with a colorful mural. The bar is a tiki-esque little wooden hut. And strung from every surface are fairy/Christmas lights! The atmosphere is amazingly awesome when night falls. Speaking of atmosphere, let me tell you that band Tuesday night was ROCKING OUT. A small 3-piece band with a hugely charismatic female lead. People were spontaneously dancing along, people were singing--she even made a round around the entire place and had everyone sing into the mic if they wanted--and most people did! Maybe it's the alcohol. Maybe it's just the infectiously fun atmosphere. I don't know which, but I was very reluctant to leave haha. Okay, now on to the drinks. Fiance really enjoyed the beer selection. They seemed to have a decent variety (try that Maui Brewing Co Coconut Porter!). I got the coconut drink and the pineapple drink. (#party). Both were actually sizable (the coconut doesn't look sizable but trust me, it is with how strong it was) and both were extremely flavorful/tasty. I also think the prices aren't too bad either, given the fact that a regular coconut or virgin pineapple drink usually set you back $10/$13 respectively. Fiance and I didn't try the food, that might have to happen next time. I definitely recommend this place and plan on coming back. Between nightly live music, the fun, and the drinks how could I not?? read more

As someone who is usually too snobby to go to a place like this, I should probably change my ways. My friends and I had the most fun here possible on a Friday night for a few integral reasons: 1. FIVE. DOLLAR. WELL. DRINKS. Everything is better with alcohol, and after doing a round of the more fun cocktails, we quickly switched over to the cheapest well drinks in Waikiki, a huge find in such a tourist trap area. With such a good deal, who wouldn't have fun here? 2. Leilani and live music: thanks to impeccable (and coincidental) timing, we arrived right before the music began and ended up staying for all three sets. Leilani and group did a bunch of covers suitable for the tourist audience and made the entire night fun with requests, shoutouts, and dancing. 3. Other patrons: thanks to my trusty friend alcohol and the fact that we were the youngest people there, we were the target of a lot of attention, made some nice friends from Texas, and got a round of drinks for free. Drinks and food themselves were ok. I had a loco moco that was fine, but more importantly, a good base for my drinking. All together, this was the perfect place to pregame going out while having zero shame in dancing to covers in front of old tourists. read more

This place is the definition of a hole in the wall. The Entertainment is amazing, The Food is delicious, the atmosphere is very lively, but the service is abysmal! The waitresses rarely check on you if they do at all. Flagging one down seems to be impossible. And I had to ask 3 different waitresses to bring me my check, only to still wait 15 minutes for it to make it to my table. The food on the other hand was some of the best shrimp I've ever had. Perfectly sautéed and glazed with Garlic butter. I was in heaven. The drinks were heavy handed as well, which was great cause we lefts with a strong buzz. The price isn't bad, it is cheap, which is hard to find in Honolulu. My biggest piece of advice would be to order your food & Drinks all at once, cause if you order drinks first and then decide, you may be waiting 30 minutes for someone to even look your direction. read more

This restaurant has live music! I was surprised to walk on here Sunday night (live music Friday night too) and a woman name Lily sung some classic hits ("Unchained Melody", "Hotel California", a Beatles Medley) beautifully. She even took time out to sing Happy Birthday to customers. Cuckoo gets it right with the live music, my friends enjoyed their teriyaki bowls and burgers but I did not like the fries. They were flavorless. And I feel if you have to put ketchup on them, they're lacking something, and this was the case with their fries, unfortunately. I had the Hawaiian Iced Tea for a late night beverage and THAT was exceptional. The pineapple makes it sweet enough to make the mixture of gin, vodka, rum, and tequila go down easier. ;) Again, come for Lilly and her keyboardist, stay for the drinks! read more

Wow, this is probably the eating experience I've had at Waikiki or in the last three years. The spicy tuna tasted like it had turned, the Hawaiian burger was super plain, cooked well done and cold, and the coconut shrimp were average. I'm normally pretty tolerable about places, but wow, I've never left a place so disappointed and needing to go somewhere else to eat after. On positives, the wait staff was nice and the manager took care of things when I mentioned the food tasted off. read more

The ambience is awesome. It's so cool that they don't have a ceiling or four but it still flows really well. Drinks is super strong and the price is pretty good considering it's location sort of hard to fine but I think that's the charm. read more

Stopped here for a drink last night on vacation. Such a cute tiki bar. They have a live band and they are fun and entertaining! They serve pina colada's in pineapples and really give you the feel of being on vacation. You must stop by if you trying to have a good time in wakiki! read more

Legitimately one of my favorite places when I was in Waikiki. A "hidden" dive/tiki bar with live music, and drinks strong enough without having to down ten before feeling buzzed. I was there over two months ago but still feel a wave of happiness come over me as I think back to it. The place is 100% touristy and likely not a "locals' place" with the number of blue hawaiians and mai tais I saw and its prime location, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. Because this place is slightly hidden from the main road, it doesn't get overly crowded. My friend had ordered fish and chips which was surprisingly freshly fried and really delicious. We were seated and our drinks were brought to us in a timely manner. This place was hip and embodied the "island vibes" that come to mind when you think of Honolulu! read more

This place was a perfect little tiki bar that transported you out of Waikiki and to a little spot in the middle of nowhere Hawaii for a little alcohol, music and food.
