Great service!!! World's best/smoked looks amazing... they showed the process when I asked about it even after saying I didn't want a 25 drink. Both mai tais on the menu are great and worth the money.

I went here with my wife when we had the wedding. We had "royal scratch Mai tai ". At night , there is some performance such as dancing and singing, which makes the atmosphere so great.

Sabrina Majeed

They have so many different flavors of Mai Tais here, it's impressive!

Tiago Saldanha

Good atmosphere at the bar . Lovely place to sit, have a drink or a bite and contemplate thw beach . A definitely must go!

Kevin Watson

The favorite Mai Tai bar has drastically degraded… no longer a nice selection of craft Mai Tai drinks that it once had.., same on Management to allow that signature disappear..,

My favorite beach bar ; amazing servers and bartenders . I always spend more than I plan, but my expectations are always exceeded ???? ???? ???? I love their version of a French 75

Pam Ichiyasu

The atmosphere is awesome!! All the bar tenders are very friendly and they make excellent drinks!! We hit up other places but always came back just a fun great place to hang out!!

Kent Zinn

My favorite place on Waikiki. Perfect location, atmosphere, and views . Be warned that nothing is cheap and prices reflect the location.

Renée Vargas

Pricey hotel bar drinks but 100% worth every penny. Their mai tais are strong and made with freshly squeezed juices !

John E

Lives up to its name! Go with the classic Vic’s 73, and enjoy a sunset here ????

Robert Tolar Haining

David M.

Wonderful view and great drinks, easy to get to from the Royal Hawaiian shops.

I asked for extra lemon wedge for my vodka soda and bartender did me one better - brought the press over and squeezed it right into drink! Great tenders :)

Philip Saul

The mai tais were awesome, didn't get to try the $30 [one though. Awesome view as well

Lewinita Geiman

Free water comfortable chairs and great drinks, didn't try food but it look good too

Barbara Iliopoulos

A cocktail here watching the sunset is a must ... not so kid friendly but sometimes you just need to drag the ankle biters to something you like to do Read more

Katrina G

You may have to wait but getting a table near the sand is definitely worth it. Enjoy the views facing the hotels after dark.

Mary Beck

Wonderful to be here outside on Waikiki Beach ! Can order light meal as well as drinks.

Emmy Charles

Scratch Mai Tai is soooo good!

DIÉR

Best place to get a drink on the beach . So relaxing!

Edwin Lap

Get here early for the best seats! Best view for evening cocktails . Wine is a bit weak, but they do offer the wine list from azure as an alternative

Simon Tan

not a hip or modern bar , but the view is great and the drinks are strong, worth the expensive price tag

John Walles

The "real mai tai " will knock you down!!! $10 a drink but a great value because they actually put alcohol in it. Girls, drink slowly!!

Suprachibby

Pretty expensive eats including the bar menu . However, it's in a great location and is a good spot to get a cocktail and view the beach .

Island Bruin

Classic Mai Tai 's- just solid rums and Curaçao- no fruit juice .

Crystal Taylor

Ask Christopher to tell you the history of the Mai Tai , and make you the real deal with 17 yr aged booze and falernum!

Ron Jeramiah

Dranks are strong. Mai Tai’s are grand! ????

JH H-D

So many cocktail options!

Raymond Grechman

The view is perfect. The Mai Tais are strong.

Melissa Kaita

Drinks are tasty but very strong!

Brent Miller

The Ali'i Mai Tai is only worth it if you like aged rum by itself.

danzrr

If ordering the Virgin Piña Rocks, make sure the server hears you want your drink *without* alcohol (as the name/menu suggests)!

Rick Cabral

Order any drink in a pineapple !

Emily Renee

The bartenders Susan and Cheryl are the best! Great drinks and food plus an amazing view !!

Jack

Ask for Cheryl . Best bartender in the world and she knows everything about Honolulu! Order a mai tai and relax!

Jeff Robertson

This place is the best place for a Mai Tai !!

sara mae pickle

Any bar that serves skunky beer gets a thumbs down in my book ????. The ceviche was dry & chips stale, & the service was not good either. To end on a positive note though, the music was nice.

Katherine

You can get drinks to go and bring on the beach

Max Blue ????????

Order any Mai Tai . Delicious. A bit pricey though.

Henri Makembe

Expensive but worth it. Great service-ask for the off-menu Mai Tais

Aaron Landry

Order the Scratch Mai Tai . It's the best on the menu. All the more expensive ones are for tourists who don't know better.

Chris 'Spike'

Scratch Mai Tai is the best! Also Burger is out of this world!!!

Teré Patterson

Happy hour is terrific! $5 mai tai .

Rey More'

The duck soft buns and chicken satay are a must

jr junior

The drinks that spill on the floor over time makes this place ideal for skanking. Bring shoes .

Camilo Velasquez

Smoked Mai Tai isn't on the menu, but it's quite a show to see the bar tenders make it. It's an expensive specialty cocktail but worth the novelty.
