    Our go to for some late night Shenanigans...we absolutely love this place. It's a place where you can have a few with your buddies & no one bothers you. Mama Ting is always there to make sure that there is no funny business going on. Tucked away in the industrial area in Waipahu, it's a small joint that offers late night eats, karaoke & full bar. The food here is so good. Our must have eats are always: Fried pork with tomato & onions with a soy dipping sauce. Fried calamari with a mustard soy dipping sauce. Ahi poke with cucumbers, tomatoes & onions. The karaoke song selection is pretty extensive, but not quite up to date. But doesn't love singing to oldie but goodie songs! Can't go wrong with some Gun's N Rose's or Aerosmith or some Hawaiian music.

    Great bar with friendly staff. Great for day drinking too. Pretty relaxing vibe. Great food too if that's your thing, really great. Their beef jerky thing they make is super good.

    Cute little hole in the wall bar. A friend/co-worker is a regular here and planned an after work Christmas gathering on the last day. The parking is very limited, mostly street, so if you're alone it may be kind of dangerous to drink heavily then walk far to your vehicle. We drank probably 7-10 Jager Bombs, which were delicious until it hits you Karaoke is always fun with friends and the food was also a hit The owner and workers are sweet and on top of it.

    I may be biased because everytime I eat here, I tend to have some liquid courage, regardless the food is awesome. It's always made to order, garlicky, not too oily, tasty, and perfect with a beer or two or five. If you are expecting an ambiance, get takeout and send someone else inside to pick it up. If you want good food and a great time, you are welcome. Prices are very reasonable and portions are meant to share. My go to is shrimp fried rice w/ extra garlic, fries chicken, and if my heart feels up to it chicken skin! I've tried quite a few things on the menu, and have yet to find something I wouldn't order again. If you are a fan of dive bars, this is one of the best on the Leeward side.

    Poke

    I have always loved Tings food. I haven't gone to this bar for years. Today I was craving papaya salad & it was a total disappointment. It's was so sour, lots of vinegar. Maybe different cook now? Idk. Don't think I'll be back to eat this ever. Even the poke salad was idk. The fish was so mushy it was gross!! Lucky my kids don't really care cause they ate the damn thing and Enjoyed it.. Sorry I had to yelp this. It was bad!!

    5,000,000 Stars - Jeff the Divine Pourer of Honolulu Tavern…read more If Zeus stepped down from Olympus, traded in his lightning bolt for a cocktail shaker, and opened a dive bar in Honolulu, he would still fall short of the sheer majesty that is Jeff the Bartender. I walked into Honolulu Tavern expecting a beer and maybe a game of pool. I walked out a changed human being, spiritually reborn through the transcendent wizardry of Jeff's drink-making abilities. The man didn't just pour me a Mai Tai -- he summoned it from another dimension using ancient Polynesian incantations and possibly a portal beneath the bar. Jeff doesn't make drinks. He crafts liquid experiences. I ordered a Jack and Coke. He gave me an elixir so powerful I briefly remembered all my past lives and cried openly at the bar. Jeff handed me a napkin without breaking eye contact. "Let it out," he said, in a voice smoother than the whiskey he poured. He flips bottles like he's auditioning for a Cirque du Soleil fire show. He garnishes with flair, zest, and possibly dark sorcery. He doesn't just serve drinks -- he blesses them. At one point, someone tried to order a vodka cranberry. Jeff leaned in and whispered, "I can do better." Moments later, he slid a drink across the bar that tasted like a sunset riding a unicorn across Waikiki Beach. Also -- and I cannot stress this enough -- Jeff remembered everyone's name, their favorite drink, and gave unsolicited but eerily accurate life advice. One sip of his signature cocktail and my taxes filed themselves, my skin cleared, and I received a text from my ex apologizing for everything. In conclusion: Jeff is not a bartender. He is a mixological prophet. A liquid shaman. A cocktail demigod. If you die before experiencing a drink from Jeff, you've wasted your one precious life. Mahalo, Jeff. Mahalo for EVERYTHING

You're overlooking the water and swans, and when the weather is nice, I imagine it is SUPER nice. It was drizzling when I was there, but it still felt good to be outside since it wasn't raining too hard. They have TVs and a pool table, and I saw some SERIOUS pool players when I was there, so that was a vibe too. The food is really good. The wings?? High, high, hiiiiigh. I don't know if chicken is imported to the island or what, but the price is CRAZY high.... I had the buffalo chicken wrap and it was actually really good, BUT that wrap was so small. Of course they cut it in half, but each half was tiny. There's no way that was even a full 6-inch wrap before they cut it. Still stuffed and flavorful, just disappointing on the portion size. The French fries though? Really really good. I had them with my wrap and I enjoyed them a lot. Didn't get a pickle though, and I didn't even realize it was supposed to come with one until I came back the next day... I wish I had gotten that. The bartender was nice--it was a guy. Not super friendly, but cool enough. Now the bathroom... ATROCIOUS. I hated it. Didn't even want to touch anything. Yikes. But other than that, I do like the place!

Our waitress seemed far more focused on celebrating her birthday than actually doing her job. It showed. Orders were inconsistent and poorly handled. I ordered mozzarella sticks and chicken wings, and someone else in my party who ordered wings after me received their food first. It got worse. When the mozzarella sticks finally came out, the waitress took them to a completely different table--people who arrived after us. At that point, I had to track down another waitress just to figure out what was going on. To her credit, she stepped up, apologized, and comped both the mozzarella sticks and the chicken wings. She was the only bright spot in the whole experience. Then came the bill. It was loaded with items I never ordered. I pointed it out, and the same helpful waitress said she would fix it. She brought back a corrected bill for around $7, then later returned again with another version around $8 or $9. It seemed resolved at the time. But the next morning, I checked my bank account and saw that I was charged the full amount anyway. Between the inattentive service, incorrect food delivery, billing errors, and now being overcharged, this was a complete miss. The only reason this isn't a one-line review is because one staff member actually tried to make things right--but unfortunately, that wasn't enough to fix everything else that went wrong. I'd recommend double-checking your bill here... and honestly, considering going somewhere else.

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. .
