The Myna Bird Tiki Bar on Postcard

"Upscale food halls are having their day and here James Beard-winner and Michelin-starred chef Michael Mina takes a star turn. Of special note is the Myna Bird cocktail bar, inspired by Don the Beachcomber, the jointthatkicked off the 1960s tiki craze. Expect rum, pineapple, and little paper umbrellas, of course, but also fusion touches like mezcal! Save space on your camera, as bartenders don't hold back on the presentation. Strong, thoughtfully balanced drinks roll out in everything from cantaloupes to conch shells. Don't miss the two-person, crowning glory of the Pacific Rim section: the Abandon Ship! It blends together two rums, chai tea, passion fruit syrup, Benedictine, and lemon."

A modern tiki bar which can be found inside the street food hall. Only a small spot, we recommend going in happy hour as the crowds are smaller and the drinks are cheaper They serve up some cool cocktails presented creatively. They even serve one in a SPAM can - “The Endless Summer” was mixed with rum, Pimms no.1, chareau sloe, lemon lime, strawberry and mint. We also had one in a giant parrot glass - the “Antidote of the South Seas” (Parrot) with Scotch, Ardbeg, pineapple, lemon, ginger, lilikoi and Absinthe. Creative, refreshing and flavourful

Not great ambience. The drinks tasted good but its located in a food hall so its loud and high traffic. I wouldn't call it a lounge in anyway. Not impressed with the whole experience as a whole and 14 for a cocktail was crazy for location and ambience. Also the website doesnt connect and the address is wrong because seeing #330 made me think third floor when it was at street level on Kuhio Ave. From the road listed in the address you might go up an escalator but it's all the way through the mall to Kuhio Ave.

Drinks pricey, some bartenders cool, other seem stuck up. We get it, you’re a mixologist. But overall decent.

Great bar very unique drinks, excellent lava flow, try three dots and a dash if you're craving something subtle and different, ask for Wade, great service and the best drinks I've had so far in Waikiki!

Great little tiki bar. It's a little weird drinking in what is essentially a mall food court, but that goes away quickly. Quality cocktails and friendly skilled bartenders. This is one of my new favorite places to grab a drink if I'm in the neighborhood.

The most legit drinks I've been able to find in Waikiki. The bar tender knows his stuff and was even so kind to give me a hand written list of other local bars that had quality drinks. Rents in Honolulu must be ridiculous but If this place had its own room in Honolulu it would be a game changer.

Worst experience during our whole trip to Waikiki (visit to this bar early evening on Dec 29th)! The bartender (Nicholas) had an extremely condescending attitude towards my husband when we sat down at the bar. A side comment of “Or you could ask first” before he sat at an open seat at the bar where there clearly was no indication someone had stepped away from the seat. That was just the beginning. After we were ignored for several minutes, might I add there was hardly any other patrons at the bar, we finally got our drinks. To top it all off, the tip given to the bartender reflected this horrible customer service experience. However, the bartender felt it necessary to FALSIFY the tip, and we were charged $10 more than the tip given. In our multiple attempts to contact this establishment and rectify the issue of the FALSIFIED TIP charged to us, we have been unsuccessful. Apparently they don’t care to answer the phone here.

Great tiki drinks, food court setting isn’t the most authentic but definitely worth visiting.
