Ambience was great with the live music. Drinks are a little overpriced though. It is a great place to relax though and close to the beach. read more

Live Music nightly. Thursday night is my favorite with Guidance Band. Bar service is fast and efficient. Tables are usually available, but wait service is usually quite slow. Overall, a great spot for hotel guests to relax after day on the beach or dinner. read more

Came here for entertainment to see two guys from society of seven. We had a sub this night and he was Johnny Valentine. The music was entertaining they played by request mostly. The drinks were probably on the high side but it's the place you are at. What do you expect. The band takes like two breaks and plays from 6-10:30. People took small children here so if you want to grab a drink with the kids you can. Not like a bar where children are not allowed. read more

My boyfriend and I are staying in the Hilton tower right next to the stage and tonight we decided to stick down here to listen to the beautiful band. Honestly the music is the only reason I gave them 2 stars. My boyfriend ordered their specialty maitai and neither of us could drink it, then we tried the Blue Hawaiian and again barely drinkable. Though we did see a few other people drinking theirs they didn't re-order them, I ordered the pomegranate punch drink and it wasn't terrible, tasted super strong and took a few minutes to get used to but not too bad. Overall, come here for happy hour or stick to wine and beer for the band performance. read more

Olomana was terrific. Drinks was alright. Food is good if you like Round Table Pizza. We ended up buying food from the shops first to bring to the bar for our pupu...hamburger and reuben sliders, fries, fried noodles, edamame, garlic shrimp. It would've been an overall good experience if it wasn't for the pigeons! They're on the tables and chairs, eating at your feet, and swooping down from the roof tops. Yuck. read more

Not a bad atmosphere at all. Was looking for a place to sit with some live music and we found one right here in our hotel. The one star downsides to this is, the tables are first come first serve. So we had to wait for a little bit before finally sitting but that was ok. The drink prices are as of standard club bar prices for any hotel. 1 $10 - $13 for you mix drinks like blue hawaii and mai tais. Draft beer was roughly $5-8 if not during happy hour. Music was great and the band's playing are all locals. read more

Tapa Bar - Mai Tai and lava rock. - Wine Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Thank you Momma at Tapa's. You set up a small table right in front of the stage for our 50th anniversary. Every night there you always came over to greet us n found us seats. You reminded me of my Momma so much. You are absolutely server with a big heat. It was a delight to have met you. read more

I rolled into the Bar for happy hour and sat at one of the tables. Nice place. Happy hour price for a Maitai was seven dollars. When the bill came, she told me it was $8.76. I figured they added Tax and some kind of service fee. So I gave the girl a $10 Bill and expected some change. She just told me thank you and never came back. Very rude. Felt like I was in some Third World Asian country where service people rip off anything they can get from Tourists. Wasn't a lot of money but just the idea that tip is voluntary and I didn't expect Hilton staff to nickel and dime you like that. read more

Slow food service and the food wasn't very good. There was a live band which was cool. The pizza was mushy and almost as good as a frozen pizza at home that sat around for a while. read more

The only good thing about this bar is that it's never as busy as the other bars in the Hilton Hawaiian Village, but that's still not enough to make me come back. Unless you are sitting at the bar or ordering your drinks from a server, your drinks are coming in a plastic cup. The problem is that sometimes the servers get overwhelmed (even when they only have a handful of tables to serve), and sometimes they've just got sh*t attitudes (towards customers, bartenders, or anyone else unlucky enough to have to interact with them). Ok fine, so maybe it's just that one older Asian lady that has the sh*t attitude, but she's always working here in the evenings, so chances are you'll either experience it yourself, or you'll get to see her in action. read more

Nice relaxing atmosphere and drinks are good. Staff is friendly and provides good service.

Best spot on resort after hours with live music. If you like great service try to get served by LINDA, she is the absolute best! -big beer guy, we love you Linda read more

Really unimpressed with the service here. My friends just flew into Hawaii and wanted a drink, they were staying in the hotel so we decided to try Tapas Bar. We walked in and grabbed a table. The place was half full, now I am all for chilling and being on island time ....but we sat for 10 minutes with no greeting. When I inquired from the bar tenders asking if there were servers on the floor he smugly said "yes" and walked off. We sat for a few more minutes and decided it might be quicker to go up to the bar where we continued to be Ignored. Only when the bartender heard me complaining did he greet us. He said he would be right with us , but he was not. After sitting for 5 mote minutes we left. NO ALOHA HERE...GO TO BAREFOOT BEACH BAR INSTEAD. BETTER SERVICE, CHEAPER DRINKS AND A NICER VIEW. read more

Drinks in plastic cups? And, watered down. For the price, heck no! Not what we've expected. Too bad. read more

We went there yesterday to enjoy the music and the atmosphere with a drink and food. The service at the bar was good and the Pina Colada was delicious! But when we got our food order I could not believe that they are that bold to serve this disappointment for that money. We ordered a burger for $19 ( if you want a fries with it you need to pay additional $6) and it came on a bun that looked like it was stepped on, child-size of spit of aioli and teaspoon on chewed up avocado. I would be ashamed to put that price on and serve something like that. Looked worse that $3 burger on a gas station. read more

Great place to watch a game, have a drink, look at girls in bikini's and relax. The waiters are ON SPOT and you don't have to try to look them in the eyes to get their attention......they're looking for the customers to service them. Great bar staff get great tips! read more

It's pricey for food and drinks. Tables are difficult to come by as it is first come, first served here. The entertainment was excellent however--whoa! Great trio playing everything from Michael Jackson to Van Morrisson. Bartenders needed an attitude adjustment the nights we were there. Too rigid and unfriendly. read more

Very inviting Atmosphere with a lot of friendly people .The singers on the stage interacted with the customers making it a very fun evening,a lot of laughing ,dancing and getting to know people from all over the U.S. There was also seating off to the sides for a more private setting. The service was great,and the Drinks were fair priced,and refreshing! I definitely will go again! read more

I don't care how convenient this bar is if you are staying at the Hilton, do NOT go here. You'll have a better experience if you go to the ABC store to get drinks. I invited my girlfriend over to hang out with me at the Hilton during my one night stay-cation. The first thing she suggests is we go down to the bar at Tapa tower so she can have one of those ridiculous "tropical" drinks. We found a table amongst the many Elvis impersonators (Elvis night?) and looked around to see if we could get some service. The whole system here is very weird. I think you just have to find a seat and wait for one of the servers to notice you. My girlfriend ordered a "Mango Strawberry Rita" for TWELVE DOLLARS. $12! I understand that it's hotel prices or whatever, but she expected that this drink would at least give her a buzz. Nope, nothing. I can't comment on the taste since I didn't have anything here, but the drink came in a freakin plastic cup. Not classy at all. So if you feel like paying $12+ for a smoothie in a plastic cup then come here. Overall: Should've went to Jamba Juice... read more

Wish I could give a ZERO rating. Our group of four sat on one table for over 15 minutes and a male server helped two other tables next to us that sat after us. We figured maybe no one can see us. So we moved to a table closer in sight. Yet it took another 5 minutes for that same waiter to ask if we were ordering anything. If you don't look like a tourist don't come to this bar because they definitely won't help you! Long story short we left as that waiter never got back to taking our orders while he served other guests. I wish I could have gotten all the servers names that was working on 9/14/19 at around 7-7:30pm so I could put their names on this. But I hope this serves as a heads up for those who stay at the Hilton hotel and just want drinks who are local looking, to NOT give this place business. Thanks read more

I come to the Hilton Hawaiian Village at least 3X a year...usually it adds up to 40+ days or so total. I must say the pool service overall has declined significantly as years go by. This time around they don't even sell food...ummm I thought this was a resort, I want to have some food with my drinks. Then again getting a drink is quite difficult. Waitress came by (after I called her over) and I was able to get a drink. Then I guess she forgot we all existed because I never saw her again, at least not on our side of the pool. She knew I still wanted drinks as I requested to leave the tab open...well it's been over 45 mins n we are still sitting here empty handed. Oh and this isn't a one time occurrence, as a Diamond member I'm used to staying at this an other Hilton hotels ; however, this one is seriously making me reevaluate my loyalty! read more

Tapa Bar - Wine Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Ordered mai-tai drinks and they tasted like weak punch. Then 2 nights later we wanted a light dinner after being out all day, and went into Tapa Bar for dinner. We ordered sandwiches, and before we knew it, the waitress brought us Round Table Pizza paper plates, and said our food would be out shortly. About 15 minutes later, our sandwiches arrived in plastic take out containers that had come from across the street from "Round Table Pizza." We were not informed of this. They don't have their own kitchen. We left without eating or paying for this crap which is what we told the server. On our next trip to Hawaii, we will not return to this location. read more

The place you don't want to be. Slow service, water downed HAPPY hour drinks, minimal bar food, and my biggest pet price: warm beer. One good thing : their live music. read more

This place is pricey, but its located amongst the rather well themed Hilton area and is all outdoor seating. It features live music and waiter service as well... pretty different for a bar. We ordered two different drinks here, both were generous in size and quite good. Given the prices, there is really no price to bother with the beer or wine. Go for the fancy stuff, and you should be in good hands if you are willing to pay a little more. We didn't get buzzed off our drinks, really at all, but flavor wise they hit the spot. Something we would probably recommend if one is looking to open their pocket book a bit and feel a little excessive. read more

Sat at the table for about 15 minutes, two bartenders, two customers at the bar and no one came to our table. I wanted the lava rock they show on the menu but when my husband returned to the table (he had to actually get up and go to the bar to order) it didn't look anything like the picture on the menu. It didn't taste like anything either. Well, actually it did taste like something, it tasted like a 7 eleven slurpee... In a small clear plastic cup. And the price? $12.50 very very disappointed ... read more

$4.00 for a refill on a club soda in a plastic cup? Really? They didn't even give me a clean cup! Refills on fountain drinks for designated drivers should be free, or at least reasonable. Especially at a place like the Hilton. Oh yeah and then there was the roach half the length of a dollar bill that waltzed over my wife's foot causing her to jump and spill my soda (which the Hilton then charged me 4.00 to replace) Ridiculous- the last time I ever drop a dollar at the Hilton. read more

All you haters! Boo to you! Chan and Benjamin are the best bartenders! Attentive, funny, and go out of their way to make sure you have a great time and save a buck or two. If you're reading this: ignore the Haters. If you're a hater: leave your bad attitude at the airport!! Can't wait to go back! read more

Wow. The staff are really rude. Not at all what you would expect. One bartender peeled up a little and engaged in some friendly conversation but after we had to state that we would be going somewhere else for dinner. Oh and the happy hour mai tai is awful. read more

Bar has a foul odor Happy hour Mai Tai not worth $1.00...straight word Can't believe this any part of Hilton Do not go here read more

A wide variety of tropical drinks, expensive except Happy Hour is a good deal. Service is good: polite and attentive. They manage to get drinks out quickly even when the place is packed. The live music was good, although they butchered David Gray's "Babylon." read more

Synopsis: Pretty chill place. Definitely for people who don't want to dance or pay large sums of dinero for drinks. You can get a small mini pitcher for 5-6 bucks! NICE! All other drinks are reasonable. They have karaoke system, pool table, inside and outside seating. Though the view is lousy, the options of where you want to hang out are awesome. Environment: There is an outside area, lounge area, and bar side. The outside area has tables with umbrellas, so it can protect you from light showers. Not recommended for anything more than that. The bar area is open air and fans. I have never felt hot, but then again I have only been here at night. The lounge is where the magic happens with pool table and karaoke. So quite awesome options. It's very good for a small group where it is not busy. If it's busy, not the place to be. People: I have never met rude people. The type of people varied all the time. I have not seen regulars, nor have I met anyone new because I was always in groups. But, if you ever find me there, I'll be in the lounge area being a pool shark. Drinks: Noted in synopsis. I'm sipping that frick'n mini pitcher! *burp* Parking: Horrific! Park some where and then bus! Songs: The choices are all American and you feed your dollar into the machine. Awesome! You can all sing along for a buck. :D and most of the time you don't even have to wait!!! read more

Acting like a tourist in my own home right now. Paying premium prices since it's at the Hilton. But enjoyed the outdoor ambiance with live music. read more

After spending a dinner date, we passed by the bar and tried it because music was good. Live music was great as well as the environment. CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS HORRIBLEEEEE!!! DRINKS ARE NOT GREAT. We told our server that the drink/smoothie was too sweet and she told us to tell the bartender. Food is mostly just pizza. BETTER SERVICE AT WAILANAS. GO ACROSS THE STREET. read more

This is an open bar that sits what seems to be in the middle of the Hilton Hawaiian Village. It also is situated adjacent to a swimming pool. We dropped by to chat with some friends at about 4:00pm; we sat ourselves down and there many other tables that were already open as well. Hotel guests walked about this area, giving it a very open, casual feel. The price range for the tropcials and martinis are from $11-13, and the beers $6-8. In all honesty, you can probably find cheaper somewhere along the boardwalk. There is also a mandatory 18% gratuity for a party of 6 or more. The only foods they serve are pizza, in all its usual forms, but I didn't linger on the page to note the prices. read more

The entertainment here is outstanding. We come here every once in a while. The drinks are Waikiki-pricey. Yes, we islanders would love a Kamaaina discount, and maybe the Waikiki establishments will consider discounts for us one day. We love the atmosphere, facing the ocean. The service is fine. No problems except when the place is full, we wait little longer for our food, but we're never in a hurry as we simply love the surroundings. One downside: the chairs are uncomfortable for long term sitting. read more

Decent bar at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Open air, which is nice, and plenty of seating. Drinks are expensive, but strong and pretty good. Lots of good tropical choices. The local beers aren't particularly good, and they don't have good alternatives (it's all Bud & Bud Light, yuck). The entertainment is terrible. Awful local bands and performers aimed at tourists. Beyond cheesy. Not every song should be sung in the Hawaiian style. Surely the Hilton could do better. But then we don't drink a lot so maybe we weren't in the right frame of mind. ("Where are you from?" "Who's here on a honeymoon?" that kind of thing.) But then again, you are sitting outside on a lovely day in Hawaii, having a drink and taking it easy. That's worth three stars. read more
