    Amazing beach bar! The owner has the best vibe, plays great music, and makes the best drinks we had in Hawaii.
    Jennifer A.

    Best Bar Experience in Hawaii! This beach bar made our whole trip. The owner is amazing -- the friendliest vibe, great energy, and he makes the best drinks we've had on the island. Prices are great, the music is perfect, and he even treated us to free drinks throughout the day. Such a fun, welcoming atmosphere. We're adding pictures because this spot deserves all the love. If you're in Hawaii, you have to stop here!

    Battery Randolph behind it. Go in there!!

    Save some money! Koa oasis is attached to the hale Koa hotel. For servicemen and women you get a great price and for regular Joe haoles it's still a good deal. I think the mai tai were 12 bucks. Usually around 18 bucks down the street or at the hotels or more . And they're good drinks too and the bartenders are nice people. The customers are great. The military folks are in shape, the place is well run. Go to the US Army museum up the hill. It's free and it's awesome. I love that battery Randolph & the history of the whole thing. They have a good hotdog there and it's inexpensive. I forget what the other food is but the whole thing is great. You sit there and look at the ocean and enjoy your dranks from the tables. The more I think about it it's really a can't miss if you're staying at Hawaiian Village you just walk right over there, they open at 11. Aloha! Five stars.

    This spot has the best relaxing views away from busy Waikiki. It's also a great date spot, or just a nice place to relax and watch the catermaran boats drift on & off shore. This place has the most Awesome service and the best hospitality on the island by Kimo! Mahalo's!

    It doesn't get better than this - a pretty drink watching a gorgeous sunset! We got really lucky with scoring the last table, and I got the mango flow, which is a little twist on the normal strawberry puree for a lava flow. It was delicious! For our second round, I got the sunset lemonade and my husband got the lava flow. Kimo was so friendly! This will be one of my guaranteed evening plans every time I'm in Waikiki!

    Easy to find! Right on the beach front. An extension of the hale koa hotel. Sweet bartender, good quality drinks at decent prices. Great place to watch the waves & have a drink!

    as you walk by this place admiring the beautiful surroundings, do yourself a favor and sit down here and enjoy a mai tai. Yes i know, but trust me on this one .. quick service, great drinks, aloha!

    Frozen mai tai

    We came to hangout on the beach and saw this place right on the boardwalk. Went with a frozen mai tai and it did not disappoint. Really tasty and low price! They closed by the time I could go back for a second drink sadly but highly recommend!

    Walked 3.5 miles from the port to go to a locals beach bar. It is exactly that. Beautiful view of the waves. Totally enjoying this place!

    Mango Flow
    Crystalyn M.

    Amazing view, atmosphere, drinks and service. The gentleman cooking and serving drinks was also very diligent about sanitizing the tables and providing excellent customer service. I had a Mai Tai and Mango Flow. Both were delicious. He also sent the drinks off with a cup of ice water, which is so thoughtful. You can't beat this view and price. There are other beachfront bars around, but this is right at the edge of the water. The music was very aloha. It's extremely convenient to be close to the restrooms also.

    Fun little beachside bar in the Waikiki area! We stopped to get pina coladas and we were not disappointed! I got a mango flow (pina colada with mango puree) and loved it. It was a refreshing drink after being at the beach for a while with a great view! This place has outside seating in front of the beach for customers. The gentleman behind the stand was very nice too!

    Such fun at this little cocktail stand with a patio area. Right on Waikiki Beach. We grabbed a couple of Blue Hawaiians and a hot dog after a morning of swimming and just hanging out at the beach. Such friendly staff and a great atmosphere. It was a nice relaxing afternoon. Would highly recommend.

    Best place ever without a doubt ! Kemo is the aloha spirit. Without a doubt he's the man make a wicked drink great place to catch The sun set and to people watch I really recommend

    Mai Tai
    Krishen W.

    Stopped by while doing a beachside walk down Waikiki Beach, to get a maitai because you can't go to Hawaii without getting a Maitai. The drink itself was very pretty but didn't really feel like it had alcohol in it. It also felt a bit expensive for such a small drink, but also it is to be expected. It did taste great however, and was refreshing! The staff here are super nice and were friendly! There is some seating right outside or you can also head straight to the beach like 5 feet away.

This is a great spot to grab a drink if you want something that feels closer to a local dive bar vibe, even though it is right in the heart of Waikiki. You are not really dealing with locals raised on the island, but more people who live in the area or regulars who clearly make this part of their routine. It has that laid back, no frills energy that makes it easy to settle in for a drink or two. The barbacks were clearly busy, but drinks still came out quickly, which I appreciated. Overall, the vibe feels very tiki bar meets dive bar. Strong pours, loud music, and a crowd that is there to hang out rather than be seen. It adds to the fun, especially later at night. Not perfect and definitely crowded, but if you want a lively spot with fast drinks and a casual atmosphere, this is a solid stop. .

After bringing dozens of friends here over the years, we are officially done. If you visit, be careful: * Unsolicited sexual advances. I'm used to being hit on by bartenders but this guy was way out of his territory. He is gross and constantly had to dodge his unwanted advances especially with his girlfriend working there. Seriously?? Ew. Stage Ego: The host (same heavy set guy) prefers hearing himself sing over managing a fair rotation for the paying customers. * Retaliation & Hostility: After I turned down highly inappropriate personal advances from this bartender, he began actively punishing me--ignoring my orders and burying my karaoke requests at the absolute bottom of the list. * Short-Challenged & Ripped Off: on too many occasions I'd hand him a $20 for a $5 drink then never give me change --continues to serve other customers avoiding eye contact or pretending he doesn't hear me ask for my change. Other times he'd claim I never paid him at all. That was the last straw. A bar is only as good as the people running it. We're tired of the hostility, ego, and financial dishonesty. There are plenty of other great karaoke spots nearby that actually respect their customers--go to those instead.

Wanna know where your granny's and uncle's hooch was coming from during the Roaring 20's guess wheeeeeere? Cuz this bar still has the trap door that lets you to gueeees where - you you know it a harbor!!!!! The barkeep there gave me a very good intro of the entire history - test there was a brothel upstairs (most bars did to appease the lonely mil folk before going off to war - or even earlier) The floors is original - so is the thick glass for the actual bar. What my barkeep also informed me - was each naval ship had their own designated bar. This particulate one was designated to the USS Arizona. so when you go have yer beverage here - tread carefully, you just might've walking on the very same floor your grandfather, great uncle or great grandfather did . Do NOT disrespect this sacred place! Oh by the bay the day have really cool shirts. They also run an operation to donate to those in need. ask the barkeep for details. When you go here use yer utmost respect - and do not desecrate this place. Consider this sacred ground! for those who passed before us!!!
