The Barefoot Bar

We stumbled upon this bar while in the area as we were looking for a place to get some work done with a beach view. We sat at the bar, as that is where the outlets are. The bartenders were very nice and knowledgeable. They were friendly, prompt, and attentive. They provided great service and directed us to the happy snack bar around the corner for food, as this bar only serves drinks. They have a variety on their menu, but they are happy to customize, as one of the lemonades had gin in it, but we were able to ask for it with vodka instead. They also have mango lava flows in addition to the strawberry. I even asked for a gummy bear shot and they were able to make it on the fly for me. They don’t have a huge wide variety of liquor, but they have enough to get the job done. They also have military pricing for drinks which makes the drinks some of the best deals you can get on the island. Due to the pricing of the drinks, variety on the menu, friendliness of the bartenders, and proximity to the beach, we will definitely be back whenever our next visit is.

It used to be great, now management has made it worse. In the past, the wait staff was there to serve until 11pm, now they have split the two bars into self serve and wait staff, and the self serve is open late, but the waited staff part closes at 8pm. I was there until 9pm the other day and at that late hour, there were many people still sitting there, obviously wanting to stay longer, the wait staff was all required to leave. How about keeping both side open the same hours so people can decide if they want to do self serve or have a server. Apparently the new management team is full of people with new, great ideas that make no sense and are harming the business at the bar. Here is a photo taken at 9pm after the wait staff was sent home at 8pm, with at least 20 people still sitting there hoping there were still some wait staff to serve them drinks.

Mahalo iā 'oe !! A pretty dope beachfront bar serving low key and no fuss fun cocktails. Self serve makes it real easy ordering with plentiful beachfront seating and live entertainment whilst you sip your cocktail and rub your feet in the sand. We got a Mango Flow and Lava Flow, not too bad albeit a bit too sweet but pretty yummynand gives you that true vacation vibes. Support local businesses!

This is on property at the Hale Koa military hotel and absolutely loved it! There’s a discount for active duty and veterans. It was a seat yourself Hawaii paced place. The day we were there saw a wait for drinks but they always served us right away. Maybe because we arrived early so they knew we were military. Try the lava or mango flow!

Great outside bar. Attentive waitress staff. Winnie was awesome. Good place to watch football. Music in evenings. Snack bar nearby.

Great place to sit and watch the sunset. The bar is split into 2 where one has food and one doesn’t they are on opposite sides of the path, you want to go left for the no food one. Drinks are good, you can get waited on or walk up yourself and order. Mango flows and lava flows are definitely a must. It’s a chill bar by the beach to watch the sunset.

Great spot but some shortcomings: Did not have a place to dance along with the music as the old location. Also, not food service? If these were corrected, I would rate the full 5 stars. Must note that the location is much better with the shady trees and larger capacity.

My FAVORITE place to have drinks in Waikiki! Great drinks, great prices, the NICEST staff anywhere! And we're not in the military. But we always stop here for food & drinks.

Sometimes hard to find seating but their drinks are pretty good and they have a great location and usually have live music.

Awesome facility for military. Great outside bar and entertainment. I had their Mia-Tai and Pina Colada because I was there on the beach.
