Tipsy Tiki 2330 Kalākaua Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96815

"Don't get a martini here. Half size. The bar across this place is the same. Half size martinis. Stick to beer. That's the only thing they know how to make."

"I'm a fan of tiki drinks, so naturally I was drawn in by the name alone. However, the menu they offered was for the Mexican restaurant next door and included mostly margaritas. I asked if they could do a Mai Tai and the bartender said yes. The Mai Tai was a touristy type, sweet with fruit juice, but also strong and decently balanced. I liked it enough to get a second, and the bartender was super helpful and quick. However, I can't help but be let down there wasn't a list of tiki drinks to choose from, so I can't say it's recommended as a tiki bar despite the name. It's good for a quick drink, but ultimately you're sitting in a food hall and not a cocktail bar so there are definitely better options if that's what you want."

"Stopped in for a few quick libations. My husband had a couple beers. I asked the bar tender, Ramone, if he could make me a spicy mezcal margarita (something that wasn’t listed on their main cocktail list), and oh my did he deliver! He asked if I wanted spicy or extra spicy (pro move), I went for the extra spicy. He muddled in some fresh mango and a Hawaiian plum, rimmed the glass with tajin, and topped it with a flower. Not only did the drink look gorgeous, but it tasted delicious! I so appreciated Romone’s willingness to get creative and make something off menu for me!"

"Horrible service by the short-haired blonde bartender. Incredibly frustrating and a waste of time. We left. Pity, because it looked like a cool spot and would have been fun if we were served by someone other than her."

"RJ is the best bartender, possibly on the island. Tipsy Tiki, is tucked away in the Kuhio food court. I had his take on an old fashion & hibiscus ginger marg. Both were an amazing drinks respectively and deserve their own unique descriptions. But you won’t find them on the menu. Great vibes, wonderful live music, a must visit location on the island. Be warned it gets busy and every drink is made with care."
