    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.

    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).

    Chips, guacamole and mai tai was

    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!!

    Bartenders Potion; mezcal old fashioned
    Corey R.

    Great atmosphere with such friendly staff. Matt at the Tipsy Tiki bar was awesome and he helped us when we wandered in. He mixed up a deliciously smoky and spicy mezcal old fashioned.

    Matt the bartender was an excellent mixologist and personable bartender. Will be back for more!

    Matt was an excellent bartender! Super friendly and made the most amazing margaritas. Will be back for more as a Kama'Aina!

    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.

    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.

    I loved this place. We came looking for it and followed the signs for the beach entrance. Don't do…read morethat LOL. It's easier to just enter through the front of the Outrigger Hotel. When you come through the beach, you have the option of dining at the bar, which seems to be a totally different experience. The bar serves burgers and other bar foods, and we wanted something a little less casual. After entering through the bar, we ended up having to go to the desk inside. They added my name and took down my phone number to text when the table is ready. This place is huge. There is indoor seating with lots of grass "skirt" trim around some of the ceiling and bars, and the upholstery of the dining chairs are different colorful aloha prints. On the deck there are think torches and umbrellas and string lights. On the level just a few steps down are more umbrella tables and some musicians playing Hawaiian music. All around are photos of the famous Olympic champion, surgery, and actor Duke Kahanamoku. Much to my surprise, as I was looking around while waiting for a table, a girl asked if I was Denise. They didn't text me; rather, they jot down a brief description so they can just look around and find you. She sat us on the beach deck. Our server was fantastic, so friendly with lots of explanations and recommendations. They use an ordering system and it's fun like a week liked machine. Hubby's beer was delivered to our table before our server even walked away! We both ordered the teriyaki sirloin steak with mashed potatoes. It. Was. Freaking. Delicious. I was full, but couldn't stop eating because it was so good. Dukes is really a place where you know you are in Hawaii--the decor, the food, the music, the friendly service. If you come to Honolulu and don't come to Duke's, you'll be missing out.
