Best Cocktail Bars in Waikiki

My husband and I came to Mahina and Sun's last year four times, with and without other guests. We love the local vibe (dog friendly), the decor, the live music, intimate feel and the food! We shared the Ahi spread for an app. Very nice portion. Delicious. I had the risotto with roasted mushrooms and fennel sausage. Not a huge meat eater so the small pieces of sausage kept the risotto very delicate. Wine list is limited, however, the champagne choice was very good and my one class of red was actually excellent. (I work at a winery in Napa.) Of course we'll see you again this trip!

The Podmore is a gem of a place! It is a gorgeous space with staff that are kind and thoughtful. That attentiveness is part of the menu too: it is simply one of the best places in Honolulu for a creative and tasty cocktail; the food too is wonderful. I go every few months with a friend or when friends are in town and each time, we have a delightful experience. Top-notch!

We really enjoyed our visit. Bacon candy was amazing Hamachi was also The beef brioche seemed a miss. It was 98% brioche and 2%beef. Could barely tell there was any beef at all. The only other thing is the empty plates cluttered our space ( at the bar) and we're not removed until we paying the bill. Towards the end of the visit we felt like we were left hanging. The waitress finally came over and gave us a water refill and took care of the bill for us. Again over all we had a great time. Everyone was friendly. Just a couple small things that could be easily managed.

So fun! We went for the Christmas pop-up and will be back for the regular seating as well. Delicious food, amazing drinks and super sweet staff.

Outstanding service, food, and views. Top notch vegetarian entries as well as seafood and beef choices- all delicious. Highly recommend. And a tip- reserve around 5:30 pm for a glorious sunset view to match the culinary excellence.
