“ The Mai Tais here are the best in town! Superbly mixed and really strong. One time for the trip is never enough so we came back again. Ask the servers for food recommendations. It really goes well with the drinks. Gets crowded almost all times of the day. ”
“ Picture this: you’re perched at the Mai Tai Bar, the sun’s dipping low over Waikiki’s golden horizon, and you’ve got a chilled Mai Tai in hand, the kind of drink that makes you feel like you’ve unlocked the secret to island life. This place is pure magic, and I’m not just saying that because a local tipped me off that their Mai Tai is the must-try cocktail on Oʻahu. Spoiler alert: they were so right! As the sky turns into a canvas of pinks, oranges, and purples, you’re sipping on this perfectly balanced blend of rum, tropical juices, and just the right amount of aloha spirit. Every sip is like a mini-vacation—fruity, refreshing, and with just enough kick to make you feel like you’re living your best life. The bartender’s got this down to an art, serving up drinks that taste like they were crafted by Hawaiian sunset gods. I mean, come on, is there anything better than watching surfers catch their last waves of the day while you’re toasting to paradise with a Mai Tai? Nope, didn’t think so! The vibe at the Mai Tai Bar is as laid-back as it gets, with a crowd that’s just the right mix of locals and visitors, all soaking in the same jaw-dropping view. It’s like the sunset and the cocktail are in cahoots, conspiring to make your evening unforgettable. The bar’s tucked into the perfect spot—close enough to feel the beachy breeze but elevated just enough for that postcard-worthy view of Waikiki Beach. And let’s be real, after a day of exploring (or maybe after chilling at spots like Haleʻiwa or the Moana Surfrider), this is the ultimate way to unwind. Pro tip: take that local’s advice like I did and order the classic Mai Tai. It’s not just a drink; it’s a full-on experience that screams “Hawaii, I love you!” Pair it with the sunset, some good company, and maybe a little daydreaming about your next island adventure. The Mai Tai Bar isn’t just a bar—it’s a memory-maker, and I’m already counting down to my next visit. Mahalo for the good times ”
“ If you're looking for the original Mai Tai, you've found it here. We arrived just as they were opening at 11. Our server didn't come to the table for a good 15 minutes, actually after one of us went to the bar to order our drinks. The drinks were excellent. The views are stellar. ”
“ What a beautiful outdoor restaurant located within the Royal Hawaiian hotel, right in front of the beach. This was where the first Mai Tai was created, so I had to order one! The food and service overall were fantastic, and the setting is unbelievable. We couldn't recommend this establishment highly enough. We had a great experience. If you are in the area, go here! ”
“ This place was awesome! Some of the best drinks and desserts on the islands. We went here multiple times during our honeymoon it was so fun to order fries and drinks while sitting on the beach. The service was the best in town ”
