    Tipsy Tiki in Waikiki is a small but very cool spot to grab a drink. I stopped in for a Mai Tai, which was refreshing. The ambiance has a fun, laid-back feel, making it a great place to relax for a quick drink before exploring more of Waikiki. It's not a big bar, but that's part of its charm. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

    Tipsy Tiki = strong drinks, chill vibes, and zero regrets

    We found this little gem while looking for a spot to watch the 49ers game, and it did not disappoint. Drinks were strong, smooth, and looked almost too pretty to sip on (almost). The piña coladas were the kind that make you rethink every sad blender version you've ever had at home, and the Tipsy Mai Tai definitely lived up to its name. The bartender was super friendly, the vibe was laid-back, and while there were a surprising number of Bucs fans hanging around, respect. It just added to the fun. TVs all around, good energy, and tiki drinks that sneak up on you in the best way. A great little spot to grab a few drinks, watch some football, and pretend you're living your best island life.

    Tiki bar located in the mall food court in Waikiki. We actually came here two times in one day- once before the cirque de soleil show, then I brought my brothers here for an after show drink. Same bartender and she was great and very friendly, made killer drinks too. Lots of regulars here, but felt very welcomed. Cool vibe and was fitting for Hawaii.

    Great vodka suggestions and amazing micheladas.

    Amazing service and amazing drinks!!! First time visiting Hawaii and this has been our go-to. Micheladas are a 10/10 and what got us hooked. All other drinks have been phenomenal as well. In such a clean, fun area as well. Near many shops. Matt is the best!!! Definitely will be visiting again.

    Loved this place! We visited this cool little place on 02/21/25. Our server was fantastic I don't remember her name but she had a thick accent. We tried the Casamigos Cadillac margarita, guava margarita, chips and salsa, birria ramen, and the birria beef tacos. We returned on Sunday 2/23/25 for more food and drinks. We had the beef nachos and La Pina margaritas. The guy working Sunday was nice and provided outstanding customer service. The drinks are strong which is great! (We sat outside and were served by the outdoor staff).

    Love visiting Matt for a drink whenever I can! Always has fresh ingredients, tasty drink specials & amazing food here too! Highly recommend

    Chips, guacamole and mai tai was
    Shirley O.

    This place will leave you tipsy or maybe I'm just a lightweight. I came in for a snack and drink and ordered guacamole and chips and a mai tai. Surprisingly, the guacamole and chips were very good. The guacamole was fresh and creamy. It needed a little more salt. The chips were light and crunchy. The mai tai was good and strong - sweet, sour, tropical and boozy. I felt tipsy within 30 minutes. Service was excellent and the vibe was relaxed and casual. The bartender was friendly and my food came out quickly. Thank goodness I was in walking distance and not driving. The mai was a strong drink. I drank it all because it was good and wasn't going to let it go to waste.

    The local catch fish tacos
    Jordan J.

    I walked up to the bar and was immediately greeted by Matt the bartender. He was super kind and friendly. I asked for a menu so I can decide if this is the place that I wanted, looked over the menu, decide to sit down. I asked for a Cadillac margarita, unfortunately, I fix my like it at first, but he did remake it for me and was perfect the second time (I am VERY picky when it comes to margaritas because I love them so much so not on him). I ordered the Local Catch fish tacos by his recommendation, and they were absolutely delicious. I did not get the rice and beans, but it was not needed, burst of flavors from the tacos. I love the music and the bar, not too loud, but also loud enough for good vibes. Seems like all of the coworkers like working with him and just all-around good vibes!! Thank you for the great experience and I may come back after my hike from Manoa falls :) Also, wanted to shout out, bartender/cashier, Jacob!! Very sweet guy with great conversation. If Matt, the bartenders, not here, it makes you go order from Jacob, because he is awesome!!

    Great spot with great service! Matt made us a spin off of the Saturn that has to be the best drink in Waikiki.

    Is it kid friendly?

    YES! We love kids and even have a kid menu! Because we are located inside a restaurant and primarily serve food, kids are allowed to sit at tables inside the bar area or even at the accompanied with a parent.

Reservation was at 8:45 place was empty by the way yet it took 20 + minutes to be seated. I was seated outside but it was dark so the view was gone and it was cold and raining. The server didn't come for about 10 minutes where I asked to be moved. I was moved to a covered table and we got a new server where we promptly ordered. My sons kids meal came out and his tenders were actually delicious as well as the fries . My food took over 20 minutes to arrive only after I made eye contact with my server and he rushed to the back to grab my food, I'm guessing he had forgotten about it because my short rib arrived cold. Like literally cold to the touch. The mashed potatoes were warm and those were great as well as the veggies . I didn't complain because nobody ever came back to check us on or offer a refill or anything . To pay was a hassle also as they only had 1 server helping and he was tied up with a big table for over 20 minutes that was arguing how to split up a bill. I eventually flagged down a bartender and she went and grabbed my original server from the back. The whole night things kept going wrong . I did have a mai tai earlier in the day from their happy hour which was great but dinner is a no-go for me here now.

Thankfully we got here before the line got long and the room itself felt pretty stuffy since it was packed, so my family and I moved to a corner with the AC where it was cooler and had less people so it gave us more breathing room. Tips: There's free validated parking for 3 hours, use the restroom before going into the bar since you have to get back in line if you leave the bar, and have only one person in your party wait up front for your drinks since it's crowded near the bartenders. Hope you all had fun this holiday season!

The food was pretty good but on the pricey side, even for Waikiki. Teri steak and fries were $24 for the a la carte steak (about 5-6oz of thin steak) and another $6 for the side of fries. Ouch.

If they were busy, it would be different, but there was only one other table by the pool and they seemed to be only ordering drinks. Our food was cold and sub-par at best - it was definitely not worth the wait! Sean was also inattentive throughout the evening. We had to go to the bar to order drinks or had to ask another worker for condiments because Sean was nowhere to be found. I hope the owners and management take these reviews seriously! I do not know how they are still in business with this type of service and food! Unacceptable!!!
