We are staying at an Airbnb and this rippa dive bar is at the front of the condo complex .Unpretentious , friendly service and great prices on food and drink . This will be our local for the next 8 days drinking with some of the local hooligans ����
Total dive bar on Nohonani just easy of Kuhio; usually filled with locals and other crazy people taking advantage of favorably priced drinks.
On a chilling Friday the 13th, I stumbled upon a small dimly lit bar, tucked away in a forgotten street of the city. The bartender, Jonathan, a spectral figure with sharp glasses, tattoos swirling like ancient curses on his skin, and a short salty beard, beckoned me closer. "For the brave," he whispered, his voice echoing with the weight of a thousand souls, "I have PBR tall boyz and cold Fernet in the cooler." As I sipped the bitter brew, I realized the stories were true. The bartender, they said, was a ghost of a man who'd once served the finest spirits to the living, and now served them to the spirits of the departed.
We always find ourselves gravitating to Honolulu Tavern when we're in the mood for a laid-back evening with good company. The cozy atmosphere, tasty bar food, and the thrill of a competitive game of pool in the back room make it our go-to neighborhood pub.
Best dive bar in town, NO POOL table though, you can thank Covid for that. Now serving Tostadas every Tuesday for $2 dollars, beers are the best bang for your buck.
I was hoping for a laid-back local bar, and it was perfectly that!
Friendly and fun crowd. The bartender was cool as well.
My brother was back in town in Waikiki, so I made the drive from Ewa and was so glad I did.
No food served here. Great atmosphere. Awesome bartender, Jeff. Met new friends, Sarah & Blake. So fun, especially with drinks 🍸 $5-$10. 👍🏼

Strong dive bar vibes but clean! Great bartender and affordable drinks especially for Waikiki. Loved my Mai Tai! Thanks to Imi for quick and friendly service!
The bathroom was nice and clean but just one. The upside that this place has a bathroom unlike many American restaurants in Hawaii. The drinks were also cheap and strong. This is a great place to relax and meet new people also the bartender was friendly and good at remembering names.
This is a fun, cozy dive bar with great service. The drinks are cheap and delicious and the bartender April was so friendly. It was busy but she was running around making sure everyone was well taken care of. This is a place where anyone can have a great time and we will definitely be back.
Jeff was the best bartender I've ever seen. Knowledgeable and Honest
A very relaxed bar, the crowd is more of locals which I love and always meet someone new. The staff is Amazing, and the owner is awesome. She knows my order every time and always feels welcome.
