Irish Rose Saloon: A Divey Irish Pub with Live Music in Waikiki

Some of the best nights in island here. Good music and great bar staff. Always a good time.

A dive Irish bar at its finest. Clearly where the local regulars hang out but Vi was friendly and they have Guinness zero for us non drinkers.

This Irish pub in the heart of Waikiki has live music every night and great bartenders , Ray, Anna boo , Dean (Opens at 6am on Sundays for football , Veronica and all the others are amazing - come check it & if you're hungry grab some food at Sunny's next door - great breakfast burritos & coffee

Went for a cocktail and loved it! Hidden gem that a lot of the locals go to. Drinks are great price, staff is very friendly and attentive. They had a band that played great music. Recommend!

it's what you expect. Casual, good booze and beer, music, and plenty of space to enjoy your pint of whatever. would I recommend this place, Yes. It is the no-frills, no-thrills Irish pub you expect to find, where they serve good drinks, friendly staff, and good music.

The Irish Rose Saloon is a no-frills Irish pub away from Waikiki's main drag. Located on the second floor it has a dance floor, a stage, and dart boards. They have live music every day at 9pm with no cover and currently open at 6am on Sundays. They have $5 mai tais everyday and daily happy hour until 7pm with $4.25 wells. Cash is preferred as there is a 3.75% fee for credit cards. It was pretty much empty when I came here and the bartender Dean was great! He gave me a list of recommendations in the Waikiki area and we passed a slow morning by playing some trivia with other patrons. It was a fun place with a local crowd and a casual vibe.

I had this place bookmarked prior to visiting Hawaii. I always try to explore new areas that involve good reviews, relaxed atmospheres, not super expensive, and not far off the beaten path. Irish Rose Saloon is one of those places. We walked there later in the evening so it was kind of difficult to find. I was on Google Maps while walking, in case we were not paying attention. We finally arrived and it was like a little obstacle getting there because I seem to remember walking upstairs to get there. I am not sure if the downstairs was connected or a different business. Where we were though, had a massive space and a stage for musicians. We decided we wanted to sit at the bar and luckily found 2 seats right as people were leaving. It took some time for the bartender to greet us and we ordered some draft beers. I really do enjoy environments like this. There was live music on the stage. People were dancing, singing, and you know-doing people things lol. We enjoy people watching and actually had some laughs because there was a guy in there who looked like Garth in Wayne's World. We did not spend too much time here but the vibe was great. The prices were reasonable as well.
