    It isn't the holiday season without our annual visit to The Christmas Bar. The over-the-top decor, fun festive drink menu, and friendly service makes this pop-up a must-see on our holiday bar hopping. Every corner and every inch of the ceiling is decked out with lights, ornaments, and holiday touches. We did miss the narwal this year as he was nowhere to be found! Every visit I order a different holiday cocktail and this year I tried the Campfire Old Fashioned. Made with Skrewball and Jim Bean, stirred with cinnamon syrup, chocolate and orange bitters, the warm and rich drink features toasted marshmallows on top to tie the whole "campfire" vibe together. Between the immersive decor and creative seasonal drinks, this pop-up is a must visit for anyone wanting to get into the holiday spirit.

    Friend sent me this link to his Christmas bar that she saw on Instagram so one thing that I did not like was that you have to stay inside the Christmas bar with your drinks you couldn't take them outside and the day that we went they were so beautiful and it was kind of packed with lots of people we wanted to go outside, and he kept on asking us not to take the drinks outside, which I don't understand in the same hotel This way it wasn't all that save your $30 and go elsewhere

    Christmas Bar in Waikiki is hands down the best! Amazing atmosphere with great drinks and friendly staff -- perfect spot to unwind and celebrate. Loved the vibes and the service was top notch. Definitely a must-visit if you're in Waikiki!

    This was such a fun holiday stop!!! The atmosphere was great, the drinks were delicious, and the A/C is running full blast to provide a delightful December chill... all you can really ask for during the humid rainy season in Hawaii. The bartenders worked quickly and were helpful with recommendations. There were a few comments about how expensive the drinks were, but they were about on par for any other cocktails you will get in Waikiki, and I look at it as paying for the overall atmosphere/experience. It was a great spot to pop in with friends before dinner!

    This bar is so fun and festive! The drinks were really good and there's photo props throughout the bar.

    Super fun!! Hidden door but once you open it ... it is Christmas!! Drinks are fun based on Christmas themes. The bartenders are mixing away and quite fast. Fun place to go during the winter

    Unmarked door at the back of Tiki's, push the handle and suddenly youre in a world of holiday wonder. You physically instinctively smile! For fun people watching, whats others come through that door. Their faces reflect the same. Its indescribable and the photos don't really capture how decorated this small space is. The entire place is great for a selfie or group pic, but some with hashtag signs to help out. The drinks are expensive but unique where you probably will never get elsewhere. There are non-alcoholic versions too. They don't serve food except for a Charcuterie Board which was really good. Families with the kids during the early part of the night. Take a few pictures but not a place to play. Its a bar. Get your names on Tikis dinner list and have dinner there. Great setup and I understand why so many we spoke with make The Christmas Bar an annual tradition

    Butter Beer & Jingle Bell Margarita

    Located inside Tiki's Grill & Bar is a fun hidden gem, a secret winter themed holiday pop up bar. Everything is Christmas themed, from the decor to the curated holiday cocktails. We ordered the Butter Beer and the Jingle Bell Margarita. The Butter Beer was absolutely amazing, 5/5, the cream soda and butterscotch mixed really well and tasted like a cozy Christmas dessert in a glass. Shoutout to Bill for approaching us and letting us know about this spot, he was very friendly, easy to talk to, and super accommodating, which made the whole experience even better.

    I gave it a four stars coz it's kinda hot in there. The AC is not that strong to accommodate lots of people that they're letting to enter. There was no line when we got there since we came in early, around 630ish to be exact. The price of the drinks were too pricey but it's quite alright, gave us all a buzz after drinking it. I got the chocolate thingy, kinda too thick at first, added a little ice to make it better but the ambiance is so nice Very christmasy I recommend that you guys go there early so that you get in faster. No chairs though and we did valet for parking and don't forget to get it validated

    Christmas Themed Drink

    It's located inside of Tiki's Grill and Bar. They only have drinks and no food. The drink I had was good but a bit expensive - $19 plus tax and tip. Well, you're basically paying for the decorated area that only takes place once a year ;) The decoration was pretty and festive indeed. It's a good place to come by and take pictures. If you're into those holiday stuff, worth checking it out.

    Always my favorite seasonal bar to celebrate the holidays! The decor is like something out of a Christmas movie, and the staff somehow serve everyone quickly despite the massive crowd it always draws. Cocktails are wide-ranging to suit everyone and there are even mocktail versions as well. Come stop by when the calendar hits December!

    Tiki Grill lamb & shrimp dinner

    Fun bar with great photo opportunities, but a warning: DO NOT put down your belongings to take photos without watching them. We left our bag of Tiki Grill leftovers on a counter kind of close to the hostess station and polar bear while we were walking around taking pictures and having our drinks, and then when we went to leave, it had disappeared. We asked the hostess, who was nearby, if she saw anyone take our bag, and she said yes a patron picked it up and walked out with it like it was theirs. You may say who cares about some leftovers, but these included MOST of a $48 lamb and shrimp dish from Tiki Grill restaurant next door, where our party of four ordered too much food to finish. So probably at least $30 worth of food. I hope whoever took it needed food and enjoyed it. Maybe a sign to not over-order in the future, in addition to not trusting people in what seems like a safe bar. We didn't go to the management about it, partly because the Christmas Bar and Tiki Grill are separately managed and we figured there wasn't anything they could do anyway. Kudos to the Christmas Bar hostess for letting us know it wasn't picked up by the busboy, which we originally thought had happened.

    Polar peppermint mocha freeze, the grinch mojito
    Emily L.

    This place is located in the back of tikis, and it has a hidden door. It's super small but made the place look extra festive with the condensed decorations. The drinks were more pricy, about $20 each. My one drink (mocha freeze) was super strong which isn't a bad thing, so you do get your moneys worth if you want to get tipsy fast. Overall, I will say that I wish that children were not allowed in the bar. There were small babies and children in there, some were lying on the ground and I almost tripped over one of the kids which could be a hazard with the drinks. I think it's cool to visit for the holidays and get cool pictures! I just think children would not be the best idea.

    This was our last night here in Oahu. I wanted to do something special, we had gone twice to Duke's…read morerestaurant and enjoyed it but wanted to do something different. Chat gpt recommended this place and I have to say the AI was right! The place is really fun. You can park downstairs and they valet Park you and they will stamp you for free parking. The atmosphere is a fun vibe. They had live music. It's a indoor outdoor place. One thing to note, they don't serve their lunch menu after 4:00 so we went there expecting burgers and they don't serve them. So we kind of stayed reluctantly. I ended up ordering the guava ribs and my wife got them too. Those had to be the best ribs I think I have ever had! They literally fall off the bone as you're trying to pick up the meat. One of the reasons we wanted to go here was we wanted the options of seafood but one of our adults doesn't like seafood and they said that they had all kinds of stuff, which they do. Our server Maka, was incredible. He brings us out a free appetizer and said that was from the chef. I don't know if it was the chef or him but I was impressed and it was good. It was some kind of little fried dumpling. It was awesome! One of the people in our party had thought he was not going to order something and I gave him one of my ribs and after he tasted it, suddenly he wanted some too. I grabbed Maka and asked him If he could get those ribs fast because the rest of us were already halfway through our meals. He got right on it and had that order in. The ribs came out just in time and everybody was happy. It ended up being one of the nicest meals that we had the whole week. We were here and it was a great way to end our vacation here in Hawaii.

    Completely overrated. This place is definitely turned into a tourist trap…read more We went to Tiki's years ago and it was absolutely fantastic! We were dying to go back this trip and sad to say, we left disappointed. The whole vibe changed from a fun Hawaiian restaurant to a yuppie upscale restaurant... however they still have the live music, which was a nice. The atmosphere was nice too. The menu items were minimal and surprising to us, none looked appealing. We did get a couple of appetizers, which were good... and a few samplers from the chef which were the best thing we had. But overall, is was a waste of money - and a lot of it!- I will share a positive though, the crème brûlée served in the bottom of a pineapple was delicious! It had a tangy, sweetness of pineapple that was delicious, as well as beautiful! Overall, not the same Tiki's. We did eat at food trucks and little hole in the wall places that had food that was better. Skip the bougie restaurants and go straight to the food trucks and little restaurants. Tip: ask the locals were the good food is. They will tell you it is for sure not at restaurants like these.... We asked.

    We had two great dinners at Duke's Waikiki this past week in May 2026!…read more For our first dinner, we want to give a huge shout-out to our server, Rio. Her energy was incredible, and she was so kind and accommodating to our family. Our second visit was with our extended family of 10. Eight of us arrived at 9:50 PM and requested the dining section because our two-month-old and three toddlers were sensitive to the live band. Initially, we encountered some seating difficulties near the dining room's 10:00 PM cutoff time. Thankfully, Kenny stepped in and was able to take care of us. We ended up having another fantastic dinner with excellent service. Thank you so much for creating a fun, enjoyable dinner for our family of 10! Huge praise to both Rio and Kenny for their outstanding hospitality! Whether you sit outside on the patio to enjoy the fun live band and hula dancing, or inside where it's a bit quieter and cozier, you are guaranteed to have a great time at Duke's!

    The last time I visited Duke's, it was a pretty chill experience, but now not so much. If you do…read morenot know the backstory of Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, visit their web page or do an AI thing. he lived a very full life. So, Duke's is now located right on the beach inside the Outrigger Hotel. How many of these darn Outrigger's are there in Waikiki? These guys got it down pat. No shoes, no shirt, no worries. At the bar, the service is excellent. Even when they are slammed, you can have a conversation with the barkeeps. Their craft cocktails are on point. A must order is the Duke's Mai Tai, their signature cocktail made with fresh Hawaiian juices & two types of rum. Surprisingly, they offer a breakfast, lunch, and dinner prime rib buffet. We just ordered off the menu. Surprise number two, the food is excellent. We ordered the Duke's Nachos with kalua pork. Our nachos arrived piled high with black beans, jalapeños, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, and Colby-Jack cheese, and of course, shredded pork. A local ice-cold draft beer was a perfect accompaniment. They did have live music one early evening, and the place was rockin' You can make a reservation online, and if you want a sit-down experience, make a reservation. We made a reservation for an early lunch, and we were able to easily secure two seats at the bar.
