If you’re looking for the best bar food in Honolulu, you won’t have much trouble.
After all, Honolulu is the capital of Hawaii, and one of the state’s most exciting cities.
Located on Oahu’s shore, the most populated city in Hawaii is famed for its bars, nightlife, restaurants, shops and sea views, as well as its interesting and unique bar food.
The city’s bars are diverse, interesting and perfect for drinking and eating. From American- and Asian-inspired bar snacks to Hawaiian takes on bar grub, Hawaii’s bars have every kind of food to suit the tasty beverages on offer in the city.
Enjoy a great atmosphere, with some fun, high-quality food on tap at these 5 spots, which offer the best bar food in Honolulu:
1. Home Bar & Grill
Close to the convention center on Kalakaua Avenue, Home Bar & Grill is a cross between a quirky American dive bar and a homely Hawaiian drinking spot.
With a small “homely” kitchen, low open booths, and a great atmosphere, the food is, in fact, prepared by top chefs from the area. They serve up atypical bar food such as tater tot nachos alongside culinary delights such as ahi in green onion coulis, called “negi toro.”
2. Waikiki Brewing Company
Also on Kalakaua Avenue, Waikiki Brewing Company is primarily known for its great selection of craft beers, including a jalapeno beer and seven other beers that are brewed in house.
But the vast selection of beers are also served alongside a fun, American-inspired menu of great bar food, such as Adee sliders and Mac and Cheese.
The bar also has a great relationship with the restaurant next door, called Cheeseburger Waikiki, so you can also order a cheeseburger from the bar with all the trimmings if you get a hankering for a burger.
3. Square Barrels
If you are a fan of combining burgers and beer, then Square Barrels is the place for you.
The downtown Honolulu bar has a cool vibe, with modern décor and whitewashed walls, and a great selection of beers on tap.
But the real reason people keep coming back is for the burgers.
From the “Inception” burger (a burger within a burger), to the venison burger, there’s a burger for every meat and veggie lover at Square Barrels.
4. Duke’s Barefoot Bar
For a Hawaiian twist on classic bar food head to Duke’s Barefoot Bar.
Serving up delicious Hawaiian pizza and tasty waffle fries, among many other bar-based snacks, and overlooking the beautiful Waikiki Beach, the bar has great views and easy-to-eat snacks.
And, unlike some of the other bars on this list, Duke’s Barefoot Bar also offers a great range of classic cocktails, including Hawaii’s famed Mai Tai.
5. REAL a Gastropub
This pub is a real pub that’s centered around beer and drinking … but they haven’t neglected the second most important thing about a pub – the food.
REAL a gastropub (the clue is in the name, which comes from the British term for a pub that serves high quality food) pride themselves on presenting local, seasonal and innovative cuisine in their bar.
They offer an ever-changing menu depending on the time of year, as well as some regular favorites such as Candided Garlic Bacon and Duck Confit Corndogs. For “real” pub grub lovers, this bar is not to be missed.
The best bar food in Honolulu is just the beginning of what this great city has to offer…
