Not classic tiki, but quite nice. Drinks are better than most in the local area. It's a small place, no air-conditioning and there is a small patio area. It has enough tiki to meet the criteria. Beer and cocktails, with a few tiki drinks. I like the vibe and the atmosphere. I bought a tank top...so cute. Prices are some of the best around, for everything.
I'm hesitant to let the secret out about how awesome this tiny little place is, but yeah, we'll be going to Arnold's on EVERY subsequent visit to Oahu in the future. The drinks are out of this world delicious and super reasonably priced. By comparison, we each had a Mai Tai the day before at the famous Mai Tai Sheraton (at $21 each), but the Mai Tai at Arnold's was just as good, if not better, and it was only $10! The food offerings here are pretty much nonexistent, so don't expect much with that. But yeah, the atmosphere, friendly vibes, and flawless drinks are what makes this tiny little place a hidden gem in Waikiki. We LOVE it!
A friend recommended this place and it couldn't' be any better than it is. Super charming and comfy. Fantastic prices and great selection. Top notch service. There was a musician playing on the first night I stopped-in and he was phenomenal. Met some locals and had a great time chatting with them and learning more about the island.
10/10 - highly recommend. Just don't tell anyone else, because I want to keep it as a hidden gem. :-)
Depends on what you like. I like the small hidden gems with good atmosphere great service and at a reasonable prices. This is the place.
I was told they made the best Mai Tai so I had my first one. Since the bartender was such a gem, Ill never drink another one in my life so ill never have to call him a liar. Seriously great place with great regulars.

Bartenders are personable and super friendly. I absolutely enjoyed myself. First time in Waikiki and I am glad I came across this special establishment. Everyone should come here and have this experience. The music is great she diverse. The crowd is super random. I did not try the food. Next time for sure.
Walked to this cute little bar from our hotel. The drinks were great and reasonably priced. The entertainment (a young man singing and playing guitar) was fantastic. The atmosphere was great. I will definitely be back. Free popcorn. And free ice water.
Great local bar.. Small but fast and the prices are great. Try it
Had a really good experience here. A nice little hidden gem tucked away in plain sight. (I actually expected this bar to be ON the beach from the name, but it's just about a block away from Fort DeRussey beach). Service was great - the bartender was friendly, funny, and VERY efficient to have the whole bar/floor to herself! The aesthetic of the restaurant is a cool beachy vibe. They also had a popcorn machine w/ popcorn you could go over, grab, and snack on! A really nice and unique added touch.
Great environment and friendly staff, very close to the beach with a surf shak kinda vibe. This place made me feel like I was at my local bar back home. The drinks were very tasty and reasonably priced, probably the best Mai Tai I've ever had. They even had live music Saturday night. This was my go to spot after I found it and will be my hang out whenever I'm visiting Waikiki.
