If you're getting the impression that this is the type of place where when someone asks you "how it was it" you say... "Well, the beer was good." That is spot on! The food here is bad, it's almost like they took certain items like frozen pizza from the Safeway grocery store and just heated it up in the kitchen type of a thing. It's not that it doesn't sound good on the menu because on the menu it does sound like it's going to be good, but it's the quality is giving tourist trap and all you can eat cheap Vegas restaurant vibes. The ambience is OK it's a bit rundown, but you do have a nice view of the marina. The service is actually quite good. The waitress was extremely friendly and personable the bartender even the kitchen staff are all friendly and cheery. But what it comes down to is the sticky floors and the old tables and the downright low quality food - so overall this place gets one star because the food was edible and one additional star because the service was great. Would I go back - no. read more

Legit dive bar! But clean, welcoming and not at all trashy! A friendly welcoming place under a condo complex & mini-mall. Pool tables and a hidden (well not really hidden) speakeasy through some western cowboy tavern style doors too if you want a seriously legit Manhattan! read more

The balls are amazing, but it does take a few minutes since a lot of people also enjoy eating here!

This place has a great happy hour, you gotta go!! We visited twice during our time in Oahu and really enjoyed it. It's very much a sports bar vibe with several pool tables. This place can get packed, especially if there's a sporting event or game. They have several items to choose from their regular menu and happy hour menu. Service was on point, great place to unwind for a drink. Definitely a local watering hole. read more

I ordered 2 seasoned fries. The cost for each order of fries is $9 for that ridiculous amount of food or lack there of. I was surprised how there wasn't a lot of food and plus the seasoning... what seasoning. read more

Went here with a friend specifically for fish tacos. Found a nice table outside, inside, was kind of noisy. Got the two fish tacos for $16. The fish, mahi-mahi, was nicely crisp and a decent size. Sadly it came in flour tortillas which is NOT traditional baja style but the server did say if requested you can get soft corn. Also, no beans or rice just a small portion of colored chips. Wasn't enough food for dinner I had to eat some leftovers I had when I got home. Not bad but nothing great that's for certain. Oh service was good. read more

Really enjoyed Miles, service, at the bar, great drinks, and food. Also great location on the beach.

They have an upstairs and downstairs location now. It took the place of Bdubs and Pink Snapper at Discovery Bay. The upstairs location is more like a restaurant and the downstairs a bar. Someone picked me up a lobster roll the other day. It was on their daily specials menu for $24. It was good. I love the sauce that they put on it instead of just plain butter. It also had a piece of lettuce on the bottom of the toasted roll, so that the bread didn't get soggy. Smart move! There were some fillers in there though. It wasn't all lobster. I tasted some imitation crab mixed in with the chunks of lobster. The few chunks of lobster in there was fresh and firm. It was also bigger than most lobster rolls and took up the whole length of the take out box. It came with three pieces of potato wedges. I thought the container had standard ketchup, but it was actually ketchup mixed with barbecue sauce. Yummers! I've eaten at this place many times before and the food has always been excellent. I'd get the lobster roll again if I saw it. read more

Food was horrible places smelled like the dump definitely wouldn't come back at all worst food I had out here

This place used to be a downstairs bar/ food establishment that we loved! We arrived today to find out it's now at Tequila bar downstairs with limited food, and that the same owner opened up a new place upstairs still called Tropics. I recommend going upstairs more food choices and also looks like a sports bar. The girl that served us was wonderful too. read more

Service is not the best here. Drinks are decent, would not recommend the food. Kind of grimy.

I came here and enjoyed it. I got here on the first day of my visit, Sunday evening and saw that they had a gluten free pizza. It had a cauliflower pizza and it was great. I had three pizzas. The first was the truffle and bacon - yum! The next time I went I had a pepperoni pizza at happy hour - great! The last evening, we had the meatza pizza and it was OK. Not because of them, but I'm not a fan of ground beef on pizza for some reason. Also this place didn't seem the cleanest if you were eating outside. Lots of tiny birds were flitting around and my husband didn't mind, but that was weird to me because birds here don't come near people. But there, they kinda like to hang out. The dud? The nachos with carnitas. The tortillas were weird and they became super soggy. Soggy, because the carnitas tasted like they had a lot of liquid. The cheese sauce was gross. I thought it was inedible, but my husband ate the carnitas, sans cheese sauce and tortillas. Yech! So a star lost. But they gained it by having two things. First, they had a cider. Which was awesome! Second, the people who work there are totally nice and I enjoyed communicating with them. We had a different hostess every time we went and they were nice and accommodating. I appreciated them. So, yes, the five stars for a great experience. read more

We came here to meet with my other half's God mother on a Thursday night. They are a part of a Filipino cultural performance group. It was a large party, 35 people so we definitely called ahead. Our server was pleasant, but I did feel like she was overwhelmed working such a large party on her own. They didn't get a shipment or their delivery hadn't been received because they were out of several beers and quite a few menu items. We had the lilikoi bbq chicken wings and kalua pig nachos. Both were tasty and reasonably priced. read more

I found this little gem thanks to Yelp. It was outside of our village resort but we wanted to try something outside. We were hoping to find something less family oriented and possibly cheaper than the resort. Tropics looked really close outside the resort on the map but walking in the heat made it feel like forever. Once we found it, I went inside to request a table for 2 outside. I think there was only one person working the whole restaurant. She was bartender, hosting, and serving from what I observed. Luckily it was not so busy and it was early in the afternoon. The restaurant inside looked very spacious from what I saw and there were several tables outside with umbrellas to provide lovely shade. We were given menus and asked what we would like to drink. We ordered some beers that looked unique. Our drinks came out quickly and decided to order some food. We ordered some burgers and Furikake fries. Although we had a plane to catch to Kona, we had a couple of hours to spare so we were not in a rush. Our food came out rather quickly anyway-isn't that the way of how the universe works anyway??? This was the first time we had Furikake and it was sooooo good! The burgers were great too. Of course I could not finish so I took the fries to go in case we were hungry in our travels. Everything was great here-the food, the service, the set up, even the prices were decent. We were that impressed that we managed to find a Tropics in Waikoloa Village and went there a couple times! read more

Really cool spot right by the hotel I was staying at. Walked up and was seated right away and greeted by the sweet serenade of live music! Playing some island classics as well as some mainland throwbacks. I had the moco loco as well as the wings and was happy with both dishes. The moco loco was a news experience for me and I'm certainly a big fan. Big flavors for a big dish. The wings were delicious and had a great spice. I love a place that rocks with the 3-piece wings. Washed it all down with the Maui Brewing pineapple wheat. Perfect complement. read more

We discovered this bar on our second trip to Oahu and instantly loved its laid-back vibe. The atmosphere is relaxed, the music--both live and recorded--is always on point, and the food is excellent. With a fantastic selection of beers and top-notch service, it's become one of our favorite spots! read more

This review for the one upstairs. Tropics downstairs no longer serve pizzas, so now I frequent upstairs more. Nick is bartending this slow evening while I'm checking out late basketball games on TVs. Nick remembers how I ordered pizza last time, extra crispy with cauliflower dough. Zee is kind and attentive. I love my roni pizza with jalapeños on crispy cauliflower dough... am I high maintenance?? I know what I like... All is good here for a late evening snack and chilling. read more

Great Happy Hour! The place was kinda hard to find via the map app. But once we got there we liked the below sidewalk level patio seating. The drinks are a little week but they are cheap. We ordered appetizers; nachos, sliders and edamame. The nachos were cold but okay. The beef sliders were delicious and so was the garlic edamame. Being on vacation at a pricey resort this is just the place I needed to find! Good service , decent food at a great price. read more

I went straight to the ER the next day after eating their fish and chips my body broke out in hives head to toe with painful itchy welts too across my body !!! Also where I touched the pool sticks left crazy bumps on my hands ?!! Is the felt so old it's molded ?!! Very possible the tables are run down bad !!! read more

Solid three star with a nice local feel. Some of the pros; the margarita was outstanding and really affordable if you get it during happy hour(3-6pm daily). It's also walkable from many hotels in the area, Some of the negatives is that it took really long to get served and my chicken dish took an hour to come out. Probably could have overlooked this if the chicken wasn't chewy. Recommend stopping in for happy hour for some great cocktails/craft beer at a good price and watch a ball game....but maybe pass on the food read more

We came into our hotel late that night, and my boyfriend wanted a sports bar and luckily for us. This place is right across the street from our hotel, this is not to be confused with Tropics Grill and bar at the Hilton. They have lots of pool tables and lots of TVs and live music, it's definitely a nice way to start vacation. The bartender, I forgot his name was super friendly and very attentive, he even made me a lava flow, even though it's not on the menu, I deducted a star because the food was not very good, mediocre at best, I was excited to try the mahi-mahi, and paid a good amount of money for one piece of fish that was super greasy and not very crispy, my boyfriend had a chicken sandwich, which was OK, the french fries were seasoned very good though and we were starving time we got there. It is a cool bar, and if we go back there, I would definitely get drinks there, but no food. read more

Tropics was a super friendly atmosphere! Comfortable/casual setting our waitress, Teagan, was wonderful, had us coming back the following night for another beer and to share some dive stories! I suggest ordering the Piggy Smalls Pizza, it was delicious!! We shared the nachos which were tasty off the happy hour menu and my husband enjoyed his beef burrito! read more

I came in to get a quick meal to-go for my boyfriend back at our hotel. There is currently a limited menu due to covid so I couldn't get what I wanted. I got him the cheeseburger and added bacon even though it's honestly not what I wanted to get. I was initially a little disappointed about ordering it, but holy moly, it was amazing. It was a PERFECT medium rare that was so juicy it just melted in your mouth. I absolutely did not expect this. The bartender was also incredibly kind. read more

Came here yesterday for Happy Hour and at 1st was a little taken back at the smell inside the restaurant and asked to sit closer to the windows....this was a big relief as it made it 100% better. Inside this place is a classic in my opinion dive bar. They have both inside and out side seating and wanted to sit outside but it was already full...inside pretty dark with lots of seating both at tables and the bar. I liked the overall vibe and could tell lots of locals and others do as well. They also have pool tables and dart boards for those of you into those table games. The service I will say was very slow and want to take into account I know how hard it is to find help. But when our server to finally come she was 100% super friendly and apologetic...we decided on the Happy Hour specials which included our glasses of red wine, mai tai's, nachos and off Happy Hour buffalo wings. Positives: Decent Happy Hour wine, beer, liquor and food options. Very friendly waitress staff with smiles! Strong drinks Table Games including a few arcade options. Lots of seating options. Food for bar food was pretty decent...the wings were very tasty and while the nachos had way too many chips need a little better distribution on the cheese. Opportunities: Slow service Smell inside and dint know if we caught on a bad day. Too much sun on the outside patio deck especially in the afternoon. Needs a deep cleaning...John Tapper or Robert Irvine would go nuts here. All in all liked the vibe and would for sure come back to hang out. read more

Trivia night. Thought it would be boring, but pleasantly surprised our server Roz was amazing it was busy but she made sure we were taken cared of in a timely fashion. We asked her if she was overwhelmed and was surprised to hear her say not at all I have great team mates we all help rather then have someone fall behind that's what we do. She said it so matter of fact. What a great night the Fish Tacos were amazing and hot not cold we will be back thank you Roz for a memorable evening. 10 s to you Roz, see you sooner then later!! read more

Great spot for happy hour (3pm-6pm daily). Price is good and food was tasty. We tried: Happy Hour Pils - Only $4 and tasty! --Truffle Parmesan fries - tasty but may opt for furikake fries next time. A bit too much parmesan. --Ale House Sliders - Very good! --Fried Calamari - we really enjoyed their calamari Since there was a baby shower going on in their patio, we had to sit inside which felt completely find because it was empty. But all the tables were socially distanced so we would feel fine (esp since we're vaccinated). The interior is HUGE. There's typical sports bar stuff - pool tables, etc., If you are bored one night and want to hear live music, these guys have it - I think it's Thurs-Sat. It's in Waikiki but a bit on the outside, easy walk but I liked that there seemed to be a lot of locals (maybe because of the baby shower). read more

Came here a few years ago for happy hours which were decent. We were too early for that this time so sat inside for lunch as the outside patio was not open and it was raining a little. The mahi mahi tacos and the drunken chicken rice bowls were both very good and filling. Nice selection of beers. Service was friendly, but a good thing it was not very busy as she was also tending bar and waiting on everyone. What I don't like is that the place needs an update; it just smelled dingy with the windows and patio not open and it detracted from an otherwise decent experience. read more

It's closed now. All papered up. Downstairs Tropics bar is open. The food down there is average, but functional.

Love the chicken karaage! SO buttery! Poke appetizer is simple, fresh, and clean. It tastes like it was marinated with soy! And the taste was very consistent for each poke cube bite. The Hawaii Tai is yummy. All the cocktails had good amount of alcohol in them. Especially the manhattan...it was super strong. Pulled pork sandwich is yummy! There were pickles and some spread on the buns to really bring out flavor. It comes with fries which were fresh and crisp. Fish tacos were dry and disappointing. But great service and drinks over all! read more

Tropics Ale House Waikiki is a bar and gathering place at the Hobron and Ala Moana intersection in Waikiki. For people staying on this side of tourist central, it's the most convenient bar to walk to. All the major bus and trolley routes also pass by. This area is home to many hotels and restaurants, so it's a great place to start or end your evening. Tropics used to be located in the University area of the city and I enjoyed frequenting that venue before the beer scene exploded here. After a few years of no locations, they now have a few with Waikiki quickly becoming the most popular. For anyone that remembers this is the site of Snapper's, but don't let that fool you, Tropics is much nicer! Gone are the moldy carpets and filthy furniture; Tropics is new, clean, and well planned. They have a large beer selection, which you can view on Taphunter. They also have hard liquor for mixed drinks and food. The stage for live music is still there as well as three new pool tables, dart boards, and plenty of bar and table seating. The restrooms are also surprisingly clean, which is always welcome at bar like this. It's a popular industry night location and also with the military. They also have outdoor seating perfect for people watching above on street level. read more

I should have known after sitting at the table for 10 mins without anyone coming, we should have left. When our waitress came she was friendly and attentive. We received our order...hubby was still waiting for his beer..... My Kaulha prom sandwich was good...some fries were room temp while some were hot. Hubby ordered his burger well done...it came medium rare! Waited for about 5-10 mins for her to come back to the table...gave up. I found another waitress asked her for our bill. Within 2-3 mins our waitress showed up (even though I tried to get her attention when she walked pass prior to me going to someone else). They did remove his burger and beer...but won't be back! Gave it a 3 star ONLY because the pork sandwich was good. read more

As everyone points out on Yelp this little spot is a bit challenging to find, but it's worth the discovery. Took us a bit to find, but we were instantly greeted by the host. Very friendly laid back environment. Everyone seemed to be very chill and relaxed. Oh and bonus was the live musician playing in the background. Admittedly, it's a bit divey, but hey aren't those the best? Caught this place just before we had to head out of town. Wish we had more time to truly enjoy the vibe. Long and short if you are close by and seek a simple affair with a decent crowd the. Check out Tropics for some quick pious and a beer. read more
