Drinks & Nightlife

This is a nice lounge with good eats--hip and trendy in the front, but with quiet and intimate seating in the back. Try the Thai-style clams, our favorite!

One of the few places I'll recommend in Waikiki as their beer selection is just plain impressive. It would make most mainland establishments' jaws drop. The food is standard American fair, not bad.

Honestly kind of divey! But if you're in the area and hungry (or in need of a cheap drink) pop in here and try their tater-tot nachos and kimchi fried rice with fried egg on top. No regrets!!

This is the best place to buy beer, wine, and spirits--best selection, best price. Pro tip: tucked away to the right is some of the best poke around town too! Try the spicy king crab if in season!

Food Scene

I've been to a number of sushi restaurants in Japan and elsewhere, but this is the best I've ever had. Fresh, clean, simple yet sophisticated, yet not intimidating like many--give this place a try!

Good for breakfast with a beautiful view of the ocean. I won't eat a loco moco anywhere else. Pro tip: get it with fried rice.

I love burgers, especially ones that come from responsibly raised local beef. This place blends gourmet with a relaxed atmosphere and full bar--just indulge a little ;)

Pretty decent Thai food (we're Thai) at a nearby location. The ace up their sleeve is actually the craft local beer they stock at the bar.
