Best Nightlife in Oahu

"Waikiki Beach’s legendary gathering place honoring Hawaii’s great ocean sportsman, Duke Kahanamoku. You'll find beach boys and guests alike with local-style comfort food, Hula Pie, and spectacular sunsets with Diamond Head in view."

"Sheraton Waikiki’s ultra-chic RumFire serves Pacific and Hawaiian flavors that pair well with their excellent drink menu. They emphasize healthy local ingredients and sharable plates that create a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere on the gorgeous oceanfront patio (at least before it switches into nightclub mode). Plates run between $15 and $30 dollars, though there is also a “Keiki” menu with options between $10 and $12 for children under 12-years-old."

"Situated on the edge of the ocean, RumFire Waikiki is a popular restaurant and bar, especially for sunset drinks. Order food for the table like Crispy Chicken Wings Salt+Pepper Style and an Artisanal Assorted Cheese & Charcuterie Board, or classic comfort meals. This is a place to cheers with friends over refreshing cocktails and other boozy delights with a primo view of Diamond Head."

"One of the best-named bars in Oahu, Rumfire offers oceanfront boozing at its finest. Inside the Sheraton, the lively bar has awesome views of the sea, famed volcanic cone Diamond Head, and those famous Hawaii sunsets. You can drink your liquor at the actual bar, inside, but it’s the outdoor seating area with fire pits that really makes this place special."

"I know you’re reading this post looking for breweries on Oahu, so maybe you’re wondering why I’m suggestion Maui Brewing Company. Isn’t Maui a completely different Hawaiian island?. Well, yes, but I don’t have my islands confused; this brewery does hail from the island of Maui, but they have an Oahu location, and it’s a massive open-air, family-friendly facility in the heart of Waikiki."

"Waikiki is located at a prime location and you can step in any time for a good drink. The place is located on the fifth floor and along with an amazing view, it offers a great selection of beers. They have ample options for food to go with your beer such as a selection of pizzas as well as chicken wings, loco moco plates, and more."

"Hawaii’s largest bar is inside Maui Brewing Co. (MBC), a huge indoor-outdoor restaurant overlooking Waikiki’s main thoroughfare. Taste the full suite of MBC beers and eat island-inspired pub grub from 3:30-9:30pm daily. This venue blends industrial decor with a sports bar atmosphere and live music."

"Tiki's (tikisgrill.com) is a fun restaurant on Kalakaua Avenue in Honolulu. Its upstairs location gives customers a great view of the ocean and bustling Waikiki. The kids' menu offers dishes that include grilled teriyaki chicken, fish and chips, grilled cheese sandwich, sliders and root-beer floats."

"Tiki’s Grill & Bar is a laidback, fun tiki-style restaurant. Pull up a seat on the expansive deck and enjoy a Pacific Rim menu with flavors of the islands!. Try Tiki’s famous coconut shrimp, guava glazed baby back ribs or an island watermelon salad."

"Tiki’s Grill & Bar was the simple ambition of three college students at the University of Hawaii, and none of them really expected it to blow up this big."

"Popular bar with good happy hour, live bands, and beer selection Another decade-old Chinatown drinking stalwart, this massive space with its big bar and high-top tables scattered around is a solid happy hour spot. Drink and food specials (heavy on super thin-crust pizzas) go till 9pm Tuesday through Friday and there are nearly 200 beers on offer. Bar 35 is not the best place for craft cocktail connoisseurs, but the prices are reasonable and it’s always a fun place to hit with a group and catch a local live band or themed DJ night."

"Situated in Downtown Honolulu, Bar 35 is Chinatown’s home bar and has a mass following amidst tourists and locales as it serves traditional drinks from 20 different countries. It is one of the prominent bars situated on the very ignited street of North Hotel Street. Among over 150 boozy brews in the menu, the beer range on the menu remains a crowd favourite making the place a temple for beer enthusiasts."

"Bar 35 has been open since 2005, offering up more than 200 brews in downtown Honolulu’s Chinatown district. Along with the huge beer list, Bar 35 also features classic and specialty cocktails. Take advantage of the extended happy hour that goes from 4pm to 10pm from Monday to Friday, or one of the bar’s many special events, such as a beer tasting or art exhibit."

"Offering a classic atmosphere, Pint + Jigger is located in the heart of Honolulu, and is the perfect place to socialise while enjoying traditional fried American cuisine. Dishes such as the whiskey-flambéed mushrooms, served on crostini with garlic parmesan cream cheese, or the Manila clams, cooked in either white wine or Dijon broth, make Pint + Jigger all the more special. Each meal can be accompanied by Pint + Jigger’s professional suggestions from a selection of 41 kinds of beers and first-class cocktails."

"Pint & Jigger is a warm, inviting place that has an incredible beer selection, great bartenders, and a speakeasy (Harry’s Hardware) you can access next door through a hidden door. They offer shuffleboard and a giant chalkboard for drinking games and have some of the best food on the island. If you go to Harry’s, try the oysters, they’re shockingly good."

"Pro tip #1: if you’ll be spending 5 days in Oahu, I recommend starting the fifth day with a visit to the Pearl Harbor Museums, followed by either a walking tour of downtown Honolulu (Chinatown, Aloha Tower, Kawaiahao Church, Aliiolani Hale, Iolani Palace, St. Andrew Cathedral and Punchbowl) or a road trip up the more remote west coast of Oahu (Makaha Beach Park and Kaneana [Makua] Cave). Early risers can start with a guided visit to the Honolulu Fish Auction."

"In a textural, contemporary space, this well-received restaurant tempts diners with its updated Japanese cuisine. The original location of the expanding chain offers a number of innovations, most notably Kumi's Special, an appetizer composed of halibut, crab, and avocado. Other signature dishes include baked scallops topped with spicy aioli and the Hawaiian roll, a sushi offering that incorporates Spam and pineapple."
