Honolulu, HI

Four Oʻahu rooms built around pours by the glass, from a Waikīkī bar with 1-ounce tastes up to Opus One to a Kailua chocolate factory that turns into a natural wine bar after five. All four come from Honolulu Magazine and its Frolic Hawaiʻi writers.

Editor’s picks

Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Honolulu Magazine. Updated September 2026.

Island Vintage Wine Bar · Waikīkī
Island Vintage Wine Bar sits on the second level of Royal Hawaiian Center. Its wine dispensers make small pours possible, so a visit can be built around several tastes instead of one full glass. Pair a flight with a plate from the kitchen.
Amuse Wine Bar · Ala Moana
Amuse Wine Bar inside the Honolulu Design Center pours wine by the ounce from self-serve dispensers. A tasting card lets guests sample several bottles, with varietals grouped so a familiar pour can lead to something new. Build a small wine flight and add a plate from the kitchen.
Mānoa Chocolate Café & Wine Bar · Kailua
Chocolatier Dylan Butterbaugh spent six years learning wine before turning his Kailua factory and tasting room into a natural wine bar in December 2022. After 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday the chocolate flights meet a rotating monthly list of small-batch European bottles, $10 to $18 a glass or $22 for three 3-ounce pours, some of them exclusive to this room. Order a flight and the single-origin chocolate tray; manager John Fujimoto will explain why the yeast is still alive.
Appetito Craft Pizza & Wine Bar · Waikīkī
Appetito Craft Pizza & Wine Bar pairs wine with hand-tossed pizza from a kiawe wood oven in Waikīkī. The room serves Italian food made for sharing alongside its wine list. Order a wood-fired pizza and choose a glass to match it.
