La Mariana Sailing Club

Came here while waiting for a domestic layover since it’s relatively close to the airport. Highly recommend! Food was delicious and service made the whole experience even better. Sat outside which was nice since the weather was mild and not too hot.

Tiki bar. Fresh food. Amazing cocktails. Great atmosphere. It was Rick’s bar in the original Magnum PI.

Went here to kill some time before check in and everything was amazing. It was the perfect place to relax after a long day of travel! We got the mai tai and the Hawaiian punch (drinks) both were fantastic! We split the coconut shrimp which came with a fantastic sauce. Then we also got the ahi tuna tacos and the fish and chips. The fish was the star of the meal. I'd absolutely recommend this place if coming from the airport. They were even able to accommodate our luggage! Staff was fantastic!

Great tiki vibe with chill views of the marina. The staff was super friendly, and the mai tai was a very good classic cocktail. It seems as if they haven't updated their menus in quite some time. It's like this tiki hut is in a time warp and somehow dodged inflation. Huge props for figuring out how to keep prices (including cocktails) low and staff nice and friendly. I would definitely take my family here if visiting because it oozes old tiki Hawaiian, or at least what mainlanders think when they think Hawaiian. The food isn't my type of food, though, and there was not much on the menu that was exciting. When the food came out, it was nothing jaw-dropping either. Saddly, it wouldn't take much to make the food better. Technique would go a long way to fix soggy broccoli and separated lemon butter sauce on a grey overcooked piece of ahi. Overall, I say definitely come for the ambiance and nicely priced cocktails, but if I'm keeping it 100, maybe get some pupus and skip straight to dessert.

This place should be a national historic landmark. If you want a REAL old school tiki bar experience this is the last place left to get it. This food is top notch and the drinks are even better. The atmosphere is chilled and laid back so leave your drama at home. I would give it tdn stars if I could. Like every place they are short staffed so bring some patience, we are on island time, remember that. This is a marine bar/restaurant for boaters, it's been here over 70 years. It's survived for that long for a reason. If you are a tourist, sneak in and be respectful. If you live here then you should already know about this place, it's part of your cultural heritage.

What a great historical find on our vacation:) More Tiki In Waikiki this is a true authentic vintage tiki bar across from the marina ouir bartender gave us a brief history of this place and as he talked we just could imagine how it was in the 30's& 40's its like a step back in time. The Drinks are fabulous I had the "Original MaiTai" The Best!! Ii aslo had a Blue Hawaiian which was blended a different take but just as yummy!! it Paird well with the "Fresh Catch" of the day the "Tuna Sashimi" I have not had better fresh fish than this OMG it was the best of the best freshest fish :) This Place every where you looked it had the decor and history I truly loved this place with all the nostalgia and charm it had we will definately be returning to this place :) If you are a vintage tiki fan you will love it. This Is The Real Thing!! Tiki In Waikiki Find It!! Enjoy It!! Becasue you will take a step back in time and escape to a place that is what tiki is all about!!

The atmosphere of one of the last original tiki bars was fantastic. The location on the marina was superb the service and atmosphere outweigh the lack of top-tier cuisine. I would’ve spent just a bit more money to have most excellent food. The fish tacos were soggy. The squid was amazing. The pupu platter was great, and the drinks were fantastic

I visited here for the first time in 10 years. I'm sure Grandma Annette must be feeling very disappointed from heaven 😢 There is no way to rate the food 😅 I think chef is probably a beginner in the kitchen and has no knowledge of food. The drinks were amateurish, except for the beer😅 Blue Hawaii was like cotton candy 😢 The flies buzzing around ruined the place. Management’s should set traps on outside of the property.

This is by far one of the coolest, most authentic Hawaii centric marina 'tiki bars I've ever been in, but without all the gross cob webs and dust bunny accoutrement you find in other places. Service is average, and the menu looks like it never changes, but wat do you really need to do to fish and chips? If I ran this place, I'd be happy for the rest of my life. Come here. The décor is actually authentic, not replicas. Kapa, tiki, masks, glass floats, lauhala and the works. It's epic. I was sad to leave because it was like the reality of a fairly tale dream I had.

The Mai Tai drink was delicious. This was a perfect escape from the airport after I dropped off my bags at check in and left the airport instead of waiting around forever. We needed one last dinner and drinks before we sent ourselves back to the ice cold east coast. My cousin took us here and we were not disappointed. They both got the ahi tuna tacos and I got the coconut shrimp. There were some other things but I can't remember now. I had a few mai tais which put me right into snooze land for the bumpy first leg of the journey *note. There was a rat that ran around the restaurant from the outdoor seating area into the indoors area. I mean I can imagine it's hard to keep them out when the indoor outdoor is open from top to bottom buttttt make your own mind up

So we stopped by earlier this year but parking lot seemed packed so we didn't go the first time. Yesterday we went at 5pm and it was pretty empty for a Saturday but maybe because the summer tourist season is over. Specifically chose this place to try because of the Tiki Bar ambiance and vintage feel. We did have drinks/pupu and main course. Food was fine for your average bar-type place but my Fish & Chips (i switched out for rings) had 3 very large pieces of Ono (not cod) and lots of rings! My friend had the shrimp/bacon/avocado sandwich which would have been better if it was done as a melt with cheese. The mixed drinks were stronger than your average bar and were good and not watered down. Service was prompt and friendly (maybe because it wasn't crowded) and enjoyed it. Too bad the gift shop closed when we left but took a quick look inside as we arrived...oh well next time! Definitely go check it out for the Tiki decor ambiance and don't judge solely on the limited food offerings (but they do have regular specials).

Hard to find parking and we even got there earlier than Happy Hour. We had a table overlooking the Marina and stayed long enough to watch the sunset. Surprisingly packed for being in an industrial area but maybe that's the charm, that it's a hidden gem. Highly recommend, they say that it was featured in the show "Hawaii Five-O".

A real old school Honolulu Tiki Bar in Oahu, hidden in an alley. The food is average, the drinks are great, but the atmosphere is completely vintage and unspoiled. As you sit sipping your Mai Tai, you can almost hear the thousands of stories and boasts that have floated through this bar over dozens of years. If you're in Oahu, this is a must see.

Picked a friend up at the airport and wanted to take her out for watching our dog. Plus the original Tiki bar and grill was close enough to the airport to see the sun go down since she arrived around that time. It was our first time at the restaurant. We heard about it being one of the film locations for TV series. Liked all the old original items that decorated the place located at the harbor. It was kinda campy but loved the atmosphere. Have to admit to being a little occupied and did not take many pictures. We enjoyed our meals, the service was friendly and prompt. Finding the restaurant is little odd when following my mapping program on my phone.

Old school touristy tiki bar off Sand Island Access Rd overlooking the marina. If you've hit the dry dock, you've gone too far. Street parking (signs state to park diagonally). This place has been around for a hot minute. Dark interior with all sorts of eclectic ocean art. Glass fishing balls, tikis, old school furniture. Clean, plenty of seating, nice bar area. Lots of aquariums, plenty to look at & soak in. All sorts of foofoo drinks (Blue Hawaii, Mai Tais, etc) besides your regular common drinks. Pious were great. Ono fish & chips were ONO & plentiful. Bartender Jesse was friendly. Prices are fair & decent.

Yikes!! You would never expect a "tiki type restaurant" in a questionable industrial sketchy setting...yep La Mariana is in that type of area...if you follow GPS and after turning down the rutted buss up road maybe feel a bit apprehensive then you have arrived lol..parkibg is wherever you can fit Anyways once you get past that feeling of fear you will be pleased by a very out of the way "old hawaii" type of restaurant...The decor is very bamboo-ey and some might say "old hawaii touristy" (grass hut tiki vibe) I just call it cool. (Oh by the way no ac ) but cool nontheless... The staff is cool and personable..service was good but be forewarned like every other place nowdays this place is somewhat under staffed. The atmosphere is retro and the menu is a mix of burgers fries... fish..tacos etc....I went with the "Ono fish and chips" and I dont know if it was called "ono" because that was the type of fish or was it called "ono" as in delicious...well it was ono (delicious) I might even say probably the best fish and chips on oahu (IMHO) white flaky seasoned fish..crispy batter with fries tartar sauce and a small lemon..... Prices not cheap but not expensive just "doable" $20.00....anyways try this place out its so retro cool!!

First things first.. MK was great! When you walk in, it took a while to get acknowledged but their sign does say they are short staffed. Once we were greeted by MK or Mary Kat our experience changed. She was great, very attentive and very sweet server.. We ordered a round of drinks + calamari to start -Mai tai (7/10) decent maintai -Margarita 7/10 (bitter) -Hawaiian Sunset (sweet but strong) 10/10 -Singapore Sling (very good) 9/10 * all drinks come with a kick so no need to order a floater Food: -ahi butter, capers (very good) 10/10 -ahi burger (very good) 9/10 -butterfly shrimp (very good) 10/10 *Mac salad is to die for, comes with a big portion too Ambiance: campy Hawaiian style restaurant with a tiki feel.. very cute, very small but feels like you are In a movie.. caution (restaurant is open air so it can be stuffy) Overall; we will return, preferably with a night that has live music! Very good meal *sit at the bar if you want that true tiki hut feel

Love this place for that good ol fashioned Hawaiian Vibe that ya cant get anywhere else! Food is good too! Had a big party here and it was fun ...some items took a long time to arrive but other than that... love this place that makes you feel like you are really on Vacay in old Hawaii !

Tiki Tiki Tiki! Take me back to Gilligan's Island holding a mai tai with 10 little pink umbrellas in it! This place feels like it was dropped in this location 100 years ago and has not changed one bit. Think full on grass hula skirt, tiki torches, old wooden furniture, gorgeous water views, loud Hawaiian shirts etc. You go for the ambiance, not the food. The food is.... fine. If you are hungry you will find something but that's not the reason you go to this place. You go to just step away from the "normal". I would recommend making it a "theme" night and taking a bunch of friends! Great sunset views. Easy parking

Cool real tiki feel, right on the Mariana. Super hot and gross but it's super cool! No ac but fans everywhere. The bar is super authentic. I ordered the piña colada with vodka. It was lame, basically a slushy. My hubby ordered the blue Hawaiian which you could definitely taste the booze. They ran out of the shrimp and ahi so we just got one drink and left. I would def come back

Hadn't been to this well known eatery in years so it was a real treat to return. When you walk in it's like stepping back in time when Honolulu didn't have mile high condominiums and you could hear soothing Hawaiian music played everywhere. We had reservations for our large group (there was already a large group of men right behind us) and thankfully, the place wasn't packed but had quite a few people enjoying their meals & drinks closer to the open "windows", which overlook the ocean and piers where private boats were docked. Because it was lunchtime and not everyone in our group arrived at the same time we had to wait for drinks (not too long). Lunch took awhile to come as well and the the Maître 'D wasn't too happy about how many chairs we squeezed around two tables. Our server, Star, was a star as she took our orders and brought everything out as items were ready. She had patience with us (bless her heart for her kindness) throughout the process. As a future reminder, La Mariana charges a 20% gratuity on groups larger than 6 and they only provide one check, not individual. Make sure you have at least one person in your group who's good at counting and making sure everyone has put in their portion.

We were brought by our realtor after a full afternoon of showings. It is a classic tiki bar experience, off Waikiki but still in town. Service was patient. I can only speak of the drinks but the Mai tai was a good heavy pour and the Mango blended drinks were fantastic. It's was surprisingly clean for an ocean front bar. Lots of pride of ownership. Appreciated that we could sit and hear our conversation and not have to yell over music. Seems family friendly and there were a few smaller children at other tables. The service was prompt and non-invasive. Overall will come back and will bring friends.

Such a classic vibe. Think classic Hawai'i. Tiki bar that's kitschy but not cheesy. It's known to be the last true tiki bar on Oahu. Renovated and reopened in 2022, I am so glad to have finally checked this spot out after hearing so much about it. History lesson: originally opened in Sand Island in the late 1950s by Annette La Mariana Nahinu along side her husband. The current standing establishment originally opened in 1975 after weather destroyed the original structure. Since most tiki bars closed Annette collected the relics from around Oahu, which are displayed around La Marianna. While Annette died in 2008, her tiki bar tradition lives on, transporting you back in time. Walk in and you're immediately immersed in Bali Hai style. Lots of fishing nets, colorful sea-glass balls, old carved tikis, seashell and pufferfish lamps with koa wood tables and rattan chairs. There's even a waterfall inside the restaurant! The sunset views are something else! Serving up classic cocktails (Mai Tai is a must!) and Hawaiian bar food which is simple, no frills, decent but also nothing to write home about. From friends, I've heard the menu has downsized but prices are fair and portions are decent. You come here for the ambiance and stay for the drinks. Live music 7 days/week. Plenty of seating. Service was great! Sure you can drive up to enjoy the establishment but it's also fun to arrive by boat and park at the private marina. I hope this place stays around for another 100+ years!

I know how hard it is for businesses to stay afloat, especially after the "C" word a few years back. Its gotta be even harder in a more expensive area like Hawaii. I just wish that this place could do better. PEOPLE, this place needs help! This place needs your business! Ive heard so many great things about this location, even being part of a great TV show. Listen, I get it. But please help this location out so they can bring some better food offerings back. The ambiance, the service, the drinks are all amazing, but a few smatterings of fried foods were not what I wanted.

I friggin LOVE me a tiki bar and this is the Queen of old kitschy Hawaii tiki joints! From the moment you walk on property, you are greeted by plants, bamboo fencing, tiki decor, and you feel like you stepped back in time to 1940. I would almost expect a pinup girl to walk through the front door as I sat at the bar. You might think a place like this would serve overly sugared, silly drinks and mediocre food, but you would be wrong. The cocktails are wicked strong, and two of them will probably have you swaying like a sailor on a ship. The food is also excellent. We got several appetizers and entrées, and then of course dessert. All of it was top notch. The best part was that we went on a Tuesday afternoon because it was a state holiday and I had the day off work. The place was not at all crowded and we felt like we had it to ourselves... This little oasis in the middle of an industrial area. it allowed me to walk around and take photos of Tikki collection and appreciate the beautiful architecture of this bar.

La Mariana Sailing Club is one of the oldest tiki bars still in operation in Honolulu and one of our favorite places to bring family and friends visiting the islands. The ambiance is a perfect mix of fun and kitschy Hawaii vibes while representing the history of the family who started this business. The menu consists of no frills classic bar food and the strong tropical cocktails. The service is great especially if you're able to snag a bar seat. They underwent a renovation during the pandemic and locals and tourists alike could not be happier this establishment reopened and is back in full force.

Been wanting to come to La Mariana Sailing Club Restaurant and Bar for about 20 years now... always heard from the grapevine that it was a tiki bar like no other in Oahu or the entire state of Hawaii. Even Anthony Bourdain came to visit here on one of his episodes. The recent Hawaii 5-0 tv series also filmed a segment here with Carol Burnett singing a song inside the restaurant. Decided last week I wanted to go someplace to eat that was 'exotic and special' and so invited my brother and sister-in-law to have lunch with me there. I checked Google Street View maps to see how the parking situation was for that area and looked to be adequate for the most part as there is a private parking lot on the EWA side (not the DH side as that is for ONLY employees as per the signage) that has parking for handicapped and perhaps about 6+ regular stalls. As for street side parking fronting the restaurant, one parks perpendicular while across the street, one parks parallel. The main entry from the DH side (where most people would walk through) unless they know of the restaurant's small parking lot on the Ewa side has several scenic areas to take photos before reaching the host table past the tiki inspired vertical posts covered walkway. Being that we just arrived there a few minutes after the 11am opening today (Thursday), there weren't that many customers inside. Our waitress, Jackie took good care of us throughout our lunch as we sat at a table for four at the front edge where people would form a line as they wait to be seated. As it wasn't busy, our view of Keehi Harbor with all the sailboats were unobstructed, but if were busy I don't know if I would like that seating area as those waiting in line would be looking at you while they wait in line... lol. I ordered $11 edamame (half regular and half spicy garlic) and the $14 garlic fries as our appetizers along with the $12 Lava Flow drinks for my brother and I. Jackie told us that usually they can't do half and half of the edamame if it were busy, but since it was not busy, they'd be able to do so. She did mention that they ran out of spicy oil, so it would just be garlic edamame which I accepted. We enjoyed both of our appetizers and gave good comments about it. The Lava Flow drink I chose was due to watching Misty 'Food Fiend' on YouTube when she visited with friends in November 2022 to rate some drinks. Both of us agreed that the Lava Flow (a pina colada with strawberry puree) was a *very good* pick with not overpowering alcohol. The Lava Flow drink is 5 stars out of 5 in my book and both of us loved it! I ordered the $19 mahi-mahi sandwich with the side I chose being their cole slaw. It came with the buns grilled, a slice of lemon and tartar sauce along with lettuce, fresh white onions and a tomato slice. I normally would add a lot of tartar sauce to a fish entree but it really wasn't needed that much on this sandwich as it tasted so good with just little tartar sauce. The other two also glossed over how much they liked their entrees, a $19 cocktail shrimp/avocado slices/bacon slices sandwich that he chose with cole slaw and a $22 grilled ahi with butter, lemon and capers with rice plate as the portions were generous. The chopped-up cabbage and carrots cole slaw came in a small bowl in a creamy sweet dressing with a slight taste of vinegar. I wanted another drink with my entree, so I asked Jackie for the $13 Singapore Sling (gin, Grand Marnier, club soda, grenadine, etc). As the Lava Flow gave me just a little buzz, I asked her if she could lighten the alcohol content on the gin and Grand Marnier and she said they could. Drinking the Singapore Sling wasn't my cup of tea, and after drinking just half of it, I stopped. I would rate this drink a 2.5 stars out of 5 and would not get it again. While we were enjoying the excellent ambiance of this beautiful back in time tiki bar we all said without hesitation that we would all like to return to La Mariana. Please note that there is NO air conditioning, just all natural breezes (if there are tradewinds like today during our visit). I have heard from some people that when there are no tradewinds, it is sweaty if you sit further inside the restaurant. As we were nearing the end of eating our meal, Jackie asked us if we wanted dessert (the menu they provided do not show any dessert, but their (very outdated) website do show several desserts such as their Mudd Pie, sorbets, etc.). Though I really wanted to try the Mudd Pie, we were pretty much full on the appetizers and our entrees so passed on dessert --- so just fyi that they are available. Shucks, should have gone to the bathroom just to look if it is also decorated like the restaurant's interior and exterior. Maybe just go to 'visit' even though you don't need to? Don't forget the photo ops inside and outside the restaurant as you won't regret taking them ! It would be a great place to take your visitors to eat and have some cocktails !

This place is a hidden gem! It's the coolest place ever! Food is delicious and the drinks are amazing!!

The most iconic thing about La Mariana is it's location. It's located in a secluded part of town that is away from the hustle and bustle. It's a low key tiki restaurant with a great view to relax and watch the sunset. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere and decor are cozy. I tried the fish and chips and it was really unique to others that I've tried. They fry a large piece of fish and the battery is extremely crispy while the inside is tender and juicy. I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a laid-back place to chill and drink with friends that isn't too loud.

This is not a food review. I sat at the bar and had two beers. Day drinking. Big Wave on tap. The beer was cold and it was perfect. I enjoyed sitting at the bar. Scotty the bartender was knocking out some fantastic drinks. Next time I'm looking at either a Mai Tai or a Singapore Sling. It's a nice dark tiki bar. Comfortable looking dining room. Outside, the sailboats look pretty. I most definitely will go again. Next time I will take friends. Hawaiian time.

Great views Good food Excellent service Yummy drinks Don't forget to buy a tiki mug. There's a little store attached.

When I got picked up from the airport, my Uber driver recommended this place to me. He said that it was a "hidden gem", that offered good food & drinks that were reasonably priced. I'll always take the word of a local when it comes to food & drinks in a new area. I took an Uber from Waikiki - the round trip cost was about the same just to park your rental car per day at a hotel (I'm glad I didn't get a rental car). Sand Island isn't what you think. It's not paradise; it's a lot of commercial buildings next to each other. Anyway, I approached this place with an open mind. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was back in the 1980s watching Magnum PI. That's not a bad thing. The 80s were a fun time! The whole tiki look was spot on. The hostess sat me in a horseshoe booth in the left corner (those booths are hard to come by these days). I ordered the garlic shrimp & it was delicious! Some people mentioned that the food isn't the best, so I have to disagree with them. My waitress, Jackie I think, was very polite & accommodating. I paid the check & had a couple drinks at the bar. The only thing missing from the past was a thick cloud of cigarette smoke. I was more than happy going to this place. If you want to get away from the beaten path of Waikiki & the tourist scene, I would check this place out. Yes, it's not a restaurant for billionaires, but who cares. I'll definitely go back the next time I'm in the area.

Good food and great service. Limited menu at lunch time, I expect more options but the food we ordered was good. They have a little parking lot but street parking available. I would stop by again next time I'm in the area.

I enjoy this place alot! A friend of mine from the mainland came in and he has never been to this wonderful tiki bar. We ordered drinks and had a great lunch. La Mariana has a great atmosphere the interior work they did during COVID has not taken away from the place but has made it much cleaner looking while maintaining that open atmosphere. The menu is back to their pre COVID menu which is good. But we kept it simple for lunch. We ordered drinks and their MP Ahi Sashimi, Coconut shrimp and Calamari. All were excellent. The Ahi was fresh as it smelled of the sea, the coconut shrimp and calamari were perfectly cooked and not overcooked. The only negative thing is the waitstaff we had. They are new eg came aboard about Jul when they relaunched. She was not very pleasant in a lunch their back in November and she still has the chip on her shoulder and really doesn't want to get a tip or acts like she doesn't. Shes very inattentive and cannot multi-task at all. It took 35 minutes just to get the bill and pay it. She walked by and looked at us several times and we signaled for the bill but she'd quickly look away pretending she didn't see us. I just wish they'd get some wait staff that are more pleasant and friendly. So a docked a star. Otherwise 5/5.

Atmosphere is top notch classic tiki bar/restaurant. We came mostly for that alone, but did order food and drinks. Food was all average quality at best. Drink were decent, but not incredibly. Service was good once we were seated. I need to mention we were not greeted by anyone for quite some time and stood around the host/hostess stand until I gave up and asked a waitress if we could get seated. Even with all the negative issues, I'd still come back just because I don't want places like this to vanish.

We love coming here!! The atmosphere is so much fun and the drinks are amazing. We always look forward to visiting here.

I am glad to see the restaurant returning to its pre covid times. Love all the tiki drinks and there are more menu items to choose from. O had the shrimp, avocado bacon sandwich on wheat bread and a mojito. The shrimp were good size. And lots of Avocado and real bacon. My friend had the frilled Mahi Mahi sandwich which she said was wonderful. We both shows the slaw for our side. It was well made and not heavy on the mayonnaise. This is one of my favorite spots for watching the sunset.

So glad that they reopened. A super chill place for locals and tourists. Limited menu at lunch. I would have like more descriptions of the cocktails and food, but our server was super quick to answer any questions we had. Drinks. Got my go-to first. The Zombie. Which I describe as an Uber-Mai-tai. So tasty, not too sweet and more alcohol! They have a limited amount of local craft beers, so I ordered a Kona Craft Light to go with our food. Food. We had a few pupus to share. My favorite was the ahi poke, which not only included onions but also tomato and cucumber, which added an extra level of freshness and flavor. The springs rolls were pretty standard. It was more wrapper than filling, and the steak was well cooked. Overall, I'm glad that LA Mariana's is still there to remind us of 'old Hawai'i'. The decor is awesome, and they definitely did some sprucing up while they were closed!

I like this open air atmosphere but no ac. This counter remind me Hawai'i 5O Food is reasonable and if you want to feel old Hawai'i, it's good place to eat American food

As always, whenever I am out here, I look for somewhere that I haven't been before. I had read this small article years ago on this place and when I suggested going here, my Hawaii posse agreed! Parking is great! This is a hidden hideaway! When I got there, people were already seated and having dinner. I grabbed a chair at the bar. They have a number of classic tiki cocktails and I settled on a tropical itch. Very potent! I only had one! Little by little, the gang started showing up. We ordered the crispy chicken wings, the pork nachos, and a pupu platter. We met some nice older retired ladies and they sure had stories to tell! Jesse was our bartender and took really great care of us. The people kept coming in for dinner, and we were there for a few hours. They also close at 8, so we had to move on. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the mood for an adventure. Mahalo La Mariana!

This place has been a fixture for decades. 20 years ago it was mostly locals that came here. Now its mostly tourists. There used to be a blind guy who played piano on many nights. Sadly I don't know what happened to him. Let's be clear. You come here for the authentic Tiki bar experience and the drinks. Do not come here for the food. The food is OK, but that is not what drives this place. I last came here before the pandemic. I thought it was expensive. Now looking at the menu, it seems cheap. I'm not sure they raised prices that much in the last 4 years at all. Mai Tais are only $11. Zombie (Mai Thai on steroids) is only $13. I always get a Zombie. One drink is all you really need. It has about 4 shots in it. Next time I may get the Navy Grog which looks to be equally as potent. Apps, we got Coconut Shrimp and Vegetable Spring Rolls. Honestly they were both ok, but clearly just frozen stuff tossed into a frier. They used to have these handmade Ahi Spring Rolls that were amazing. They weren't on the menu this time. We shared the Ahi Tacos which were pretty good but needed some type of aioli sauce. The seafood entrees are all in the $20 range which seemed pretty cheap in this day and age. Next time, probably skip the app, and get 2 made to order entrees. I'm giving this place 4 stars because its so unique. There's nothing else like it in Hawaii. And this place has the history to back it up. Its been here for 70 plus years. The drinks are amazing and cheap, and the food, while nothing spectacular is decent and affordably priced.

Super fun place with the old tiki vibe. Food and service are excellent! Ambiance is relaxing. Other than the sketchy parking lot, everything else is a 10!

Enjoy the relaxed Tiki ambience next to the Mariana Marina , recommend the calamari Mahalo

Good food, great vibe ... Waited 45 miles for the bill. We watched the sunset and then sat there with water for almost an hour. No drinks, watched Nearby tables turn over twice. NEVER OFFERED DESSERT! Um ... Fail. Wow.

Best kept secret in Hawaii. By far the best Mai tai I have ever hade and the Poke was to die for. The tiki art and atmosphere takes you back to another time and place.

This cozy quirky little restaurant 屋外の席に座ると、日没時に雰囲気がさらに良くなります。 It is tucked away close to where the new giant neon blue Amazon lights light up Sand Island. Nice to experience . Diner style bar food, tiki themed decor and lighting perfectly done for a Gilligan's island reunion party. Friendly staff. Get a seat outside just outside has nicer atmosphere during sunset .

If you are looking for the glitz of Waikiki ... turn around ... go back. If you are looking for wait staff who watch your every movement and efficiently guide you through your dinning adventure ... eh ... maybe not. And even if you are looking for exquisite food ... nope ... nothing here exquisite. Pretty good is as far as we got, but ... I'm giving it a solid 5 stars for being my kind of place ... a Diamond in a Junk yard. Sand Island is a miserable place to be ... even if you are there on business. So to follow your GPS down a pot holed dark alley (it looks worse in daylight) to this gem along the water ... you've got a lot of nerve. Tacky old school Tiki (most gathered from legendary Tiki bars long gone from tacky Waikiki. It's a great find that disappeared during Covid, caught the attention of the Magnum PI folks for their bar, and managed to live through it all. Give it a chance ... it is what it is.

What a find! This is an amazing little his away place with a wonderful story. Will be stopping here for all of my Mai Tai needs

horrible service and food. Avoid this tourist trap as mush as possible. We waited forever for food, yeah....very cold food and the worst service possible at a restaurant.

Our family loved this place! Had two drinks, shrimp cocktail and coconut shrimp. Delicious! Beautiful interior and Christmas decorations. Nice spot to see sunset. Servers were friendly and attentive.

I live on the island and have eaten here several times before. The tiki bar atmosphere is very relaxing. The food and service was "average".

We are huge tiki fans, and this place is my favorite tiki bar I've ever been to. Drinks are not too sweet, strong, delicious, authentic to OG recipes. Ocean view. Gorgeous. Original decor from Don the Beachcomber, Trader Vic's, and more. Spotlessly clean and fabulously tiki, but with dive pricing. All the quality with none of the cost. Preferred this place to Skull and Crown, which is saying something. This bar just became my whole personality.

The food was good and the drinks were perfect and able to be customized The service was fantastic just the right amount of attention. And well, it's a tiki bark so the ambience was just so amazingly Polynesian. The woodwork carvings are beautiful This is my fourth visit and I keep bringing out of towners here so they can enjoy.

Love this place, the old Hawaiiana vibe is alive and well. If you have some family or friends visiting this is a must stop. Order a mai tai and sit back, relax, and enjoy the ambiance. The service is great and the only thing holding back that last star is the food itself. It is good but I could tell the coconut shrimp was previously frozen so the texture was off for me. I had the burger and it was good, my friends had the ahi sashimi and that was great! It couldn't get any fresher according to my friends so that was the highlight for them food wise. In a nutshell, I will always come back to this lovely restaurant and enjoy the ambiance, company, friends, food, and drink. Don't miss this place!

Well...just a great place. Ono fish and chips great drinks fantastic people great Of all the places on Oahu this is a must

If you find yourself in Honolulu, don't miss this original tiki bar, opened in 1955 with ambiance to spare. It's in a warehouse-y area next to a marina. The drive is not what you're expecting, but then you see unmistakable tikis and lights awaiting you at the end of a long parking lot. Furniture and lamps from all of Honolulu's great tiki joints of yore ended up here making the place look salty in a way that new tiki bars can't pull off. There is a collage of ephemera from old Honolulu tiki bars just outside. That walk up to the front door past numerous totems is divine. Inside, the place is everything an era-appropriate tiki bar should be. The reviews say the food is less than spectacular, but it's decent bar food and inexpensive by Hawaiian standards and the cocktails are also reasonably priced. This is the last remaining original tiki bar in Honolulu and it's your duty to make it here.
