Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars 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."

"The age-old combination of food, wine, and music finds expression in Formaggio, the enoteca run by owners of an adjoining wine shop. Retaining the feel of an undiscovered gem, the restaurant features a small but distinguished selection of wines that are poured by the glass and by the flight. Dishes like a Cubano roast pork panini, artichoke and chicken sausage pizza, and osso buco are tasty and priced right."

"Morning Glass Coffee’s coming venture cryptically promises “highballs and vinyl” in the old Madre Chocolate space in Chinatown. Opening date is pending COVID considerations."

"Two years after it was announced, this spot in Downtown’s 1902 Podmore building by Senia chef-partner Anthony Rush and wife Katherine Nomura is finally slated for a spring opening. The inspiration: “The great cocktail lounges that Anthony and I have had the privilege of enjoying when life has taken us to different parts of the world,” Nomura says, “notably The Connaught Bar, the Beaufort Bar, The Aviary, and The Nomad to name a few. During the day, it will be a restaurant for brunch."

"704 Kilani Ave, Wahiawa, 96786 Bakeries, Wedding Planning. I'm a brownie girl and I gotta say their brownies here are the bomb."

"A post shared by A Cake Life (@acakelife) on Apr 12, 2018 at 7:42pm PDT. A Cake Life’s array of doughnuts—with gold pearls, sanding sugar and frosting—make it nearly impossible to choose just one. Stop by and grab a box of a dozen chocolate-dipped doughnuts for $30."

"Let me start by saying we rarely bother photographing man-made nature, such as botanical gardens. There is nothing inherently wrong with it, but it feels a bit inauthentic; it’s like building a wildlife photography portfolio by going to a zoo. With that said, the Ho’omaluhia Botanical Gardens are absolutely worth the trip!"
