Signatures · checked 2026-09-03

Honolulu pau hana has a house style: a tropical pour before sunset, then pupu — small plates built for the bar. These are the signature sips and bites the venues themselves print on their own pages — with prices only where the house published them.

Sips the houses name

Roy’s Waikiki (226 Lewers Street, Beach Walk) posts Happy Hour 2pm–4:30pm in the bar and patio area only — no weekday restriction on the page — with $8 local draft and seltzer, $10 house red, white and sparkling, and $10 Lilikoi Spritzer and sangria. At Ala Moana Center, Mai Tai’s (1450 Ala Moana Boulevard, 4th floor) posts Pau Hana Happy Hour 3pm–7pm every day with $10 specialty mai tais, plus Hana Hou late-night 8pm–11pm Sunday–Thursday with $10 mai tais and specialty cocktails. Across the Pali, Maui Brewing Kailua (573 Kailua Road) posts Happy Hour Monday–Friday 3:30pm–5:30pm with $2 off all beers and $3 off MBC craft cocktails. And P.F. Chang’s Honolulu (2201 Kalakaua Avenue A500, Royal Hawaiian Center) posts Happy Hour Monday–Friday 3pm–6pm with $5.99 select beer, $6.99 select wine, $8.99 select cocktails, and half-priced half apps.

Bites worth crossing Kalakaua for

Roy’s small plates run $7–$13 with $13 sushi rolls — the Shibby, Kanpai, and Hono rolls — plus $13 rainbow sashimi crudo. Hula Grill Waikiki (2335 Kalakaua Avenue, Outrigger Reef) posts Early Eats daily 3pm–6pm in the Plantation Bar, and the house Early Eats sheet prices the pupu: poke tacos $23, crab mac nut wontons $19, Korean fried chicken $19, honey mac nut shrimp $17.50. Drink prices are not on that page, so order the view with the wontons and ask the bar about the pour. Maui Brewing adds $14 pizzas and 50% off select apps to its Kailua window.

How to run it
