    So I've been on O'ahu for 4 days now and I've had a Mai Tai in my hand every second of the trip. Surf Bar Waikiki has the best, hands down. Not only is it presented in a unique way for fanfare, but the balance of juices and rum choices are fantastic!

    We visited Surf Bar twice on our visit to Oahu! Chuck and Elise were such kind people. They took great care of us, told us local recommendations, and shared their lives with us. The menu drinks are fabulous, but Chuck made us a couple of off-menu drinks based on our preferences. The prices are high, but the quality of ingredients, presentation, taste, and customization make the cocktails absolutely worth it. We came on a Monday the last time and enjoyed some great live music as well. Do yourself a favor and come by Surf Bar! It’s a can’t miss location for all cocktail fans.

    Discovered this place a few months ago after getting one of their Groupon and it has quickly become my favorite spot to hang out in Waikiki. Drinks are delicious, service is amazing and the vibes is great. Once you walk in, you'll forget you walk in through a hotel lobby as the bar is kind of tucked away. Fun place to hang out with a group and chill. Come and ask for Maddie! She is our go to server and takes care of us every weekend.

    Came here for drinks after dinner & absolutely loved it! It doesn't look like much from the outside but you have to go inside! Lots of seating, great vibes, and really nice decor. Dylan helped us all night & provided phenomenal service and great drinks! We're not in Oahu for long but you can bet we'll be back tomorrow!!

    Small intimate bar nestled inside of Waikiki Resort. Trendy, modern, and clean aesthetics with good liquor selection and well made cocktails. Went there for taco Tuesday and found a guest popup Mexican restaurant inside (@MiCasa_Hawaii)! Hopefully they come back! Great place to relax with your favorite people while enjoying a few refreshing drinks!

    Dylan, the new manager, went above and beyond to ensure our honeymoon was an unforgettable experience. His exceptional attention to detail and personalized care made our stay remarkable. From catering to our needs to curating a wonderful environment, Dylan's efforts were truly commendable. His dedication and commitment to creating a special ambiance for my wife during our stay were greatly appreciated. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and Dylan's outstanding service made our honeymoon truly magical. Thank you, Dylan, for making our stay a memorable and delightful one!

    Found this bar while browsing google reviews and glad we came looking for it. On the walk over we were surprised there was no signage or anything alerting others to their presence, and even had to be directed from hotel employees to the doorway near the lobby. None the less, bar has an amazing aura of a high class cocktail vibe with a friendly and skilled bar tender named Sam - probably short for Samantha. I had the “basil breeze” at the suggestion of Sam and my bf had their house old fashioned. My drink was what I was looking for - fresh, fruity, tangy, flavorful, and not too sweet. My picky bf loved his drink too - also not too sweet and all the signatures of a phenomenal craft cocktail. My bf also had a local IPA he also loved. Bar is quaint, dim lighting, great decorations and seating area, and an absolutely perfect pre or post dinner place to enjoy company and a good cocktail or local beer. They also have live music and themed nights throughout the week. Highly recommend you go on the hunt for this gem and have a great start or end to your night.

    Sam, Sadie, & Robbie were excellent bartenders. The vibe was comfortable with good music. The bartenders talked with us and made the environment fun. Smaller place but it’s what we wanted. I’d recommend with a group of 2-5 😄

    Really cool bar centrally located in Waikiki. Had a couple different drinks here and all were solid, favorite of them all was the Mai Tai. It's smoked and served in a chest, drink actually has a smokey flavor. Everyone was really nice and waitress was great, very attentive. The night we went there was a DJ but other nights they do have live music

    The first night on Saturday we walked in early. Greeted by a nice bar tender from California that was just 10 outta 10. He was great to talk to. He made the best drinks for us and it was a great time. I got a riptide and that is now my main drink. He made them so pro i loved it .

    Equal parts drama & deliciousness. Behold! The Smokey Mai Tai & Marikoriko. Just walk into the hotel entry & take a soft right. Subtle entry. Many cozy corners for you to claim. Friendly bartenders. Give it a try!

    This place is a hidden gem, bartenders Abby & Robjob are the best & dealt with our requests so well. Specialty cocktails are top notch! Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Franco L. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered the Smokey mai tai and the Maui lavadula specialty drinks. Abby makes them so good and she has such great customer service! Will be bringing friends to the surf bar next time!

    Dylan is the best bartender in Waikiki! I’m a bartender. I know good bartenders. Abby the server is great too. They made my whole birthday trip!! WILL BE BACK!!

  • 5/5 Hollye K. 1 year ago on Google
    Abby was an awesome host! She was super attentive and timely. The smoky mai tai was very classy (and strong). The Maui Lavandula was nice and smooth in my opinion, for a girl that doesn’t drink too much cocktails. Vibe is super chill on a Thursday and nice to just sit back and enjoy a cocktail. There is a bathroom right outside the bar door; needs a key from the bartender, but super clean. 10/10 would come back again!
