Mai Tai’s

Perched on the 4th floor of the Ala Moana Center, Mai Tai’s offers ocean-view vibes, tropical cocktails, and live island music—earning its reputation as one of Honolulu’s premier bars. With sweeping views of the Pacific and a laid-back yet lively atmosphere, this venue delivers a true taste of Hawaiian nightlife.

Step into a relaxed setting where indoor-outdoor seating frames sweeping ocean panoramas. Bold colors, island-inspired accents, and casual lounge furniture complement the trade-wind breeze and informal surf-town energy. The layout accommodates everything from sunset cocktail crowds to late-night hangouts.

The drink menu is rooted in its namesake: the Mai Tai. Silver and dark rum, fresh pineapple and orange juices, orgeat syrup, and signature foamy toppings make for a legendary sip. Beyond the classic, specialty cocktails and local craft beers round out the selection, keeping it fresh whether you’re sticking with a traditional taste or trying something new.

Entertainment is a core part of the experience. Mai Tai’s features live music daily, often with two sets per evening—calypso, slack key guitar, ukulele, or steel drums that bring island sound to the open-air stage. Regular “Hang Ten Happy Hour” (4–7 PM) and late‑night specials (8–11 PM) provide excellent value and boost the relaxed, social vibe.

Operated daily from 11 AM to 11 PM, Mai Tai’s perfectly accommodates beachside hangouts, midday breaks, and sunset cocktails. With free parking and no cover charge, it’s an easygoing stop whether you’re roaming the mall or winding down after a sandy day.

What sets Mai Tai’s apart is its blend of scenic ambiance, handcrafted cocktails, and live Hawaiian culture. You don’t need to be in Waikīkī proper to get an authentic island bar experience—this rooftop gem serves it with style and ease.

Get a feel for its rhythm in this recent Facebook post highlighting the venue’s daily live music and happy‑hour perks:
“LIVE MUSIC every day, twice a day… Hang Ten Happy Hour 4 pm–7 pm // Late Night Happy Hour 8 pm–11 pm”.
