Ladies, be careful walking through the gauntlet into this bar at night. There is no turn around. I think all the great reviews are for during the day. And I can see how this would be a fun cheap place to grab this $5 Mai tai. I was here on a Friday night around 9:30pm. It was all men and you have to walk through this super narrow long hall lined with guys salivating over you to get to the bar. The room opens up to several tables and a tiki style bar. There was some island decor of funny pictures and a topless hula girl. We quickly finished our drinks and left. (It was so packed all the tables and chairs were gone, standing room only.) Not quick enough, the men in the gauntlet started yelling inappropriate comments and wanting to fight my husband and brother. At least I had jeans on and there was no grabbing going on. I would avoid this bar at night because of all the local horny Waikiki workers are on the prowl for some action. But during the day when all of them are working, I think it would be safe. Sorry Arnold's I wanted to give you 5 stars so bad but I just wasn't safe or...
Read moreBased on Google reviews we decided to check this place out. I liked the ambience, design, live music. Cozy little place.
Service was okey. Drinks were watered down and didn’t taste good, but I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it because wanted to enjoy the music and the night out.
When I saw how the bartender was “washing” the glasses I felt sick to my stomach. I was observing her and I have questions about hygiene of the place. She has two sinks , one with some brushes and another for rinsing and the mat for drying. The sink with the brushes had no soap in it. A few batches of glasses she was just rinsing without even changing the water. After the glasses dried on the mat a bit she moved them to the clean pile further away and was serving drinks in those not even properly cleaned glasses. Since I was carefully watching I was disappointed that hygiene was not taken seriously. I hope that was just one of the days and it’s not the way you wash your classes on a...

We were very excited to learn about Arnold's from a hotel bartender. "A local Tiki bar that stays open late, awesome!"
I was wrong. Dead wrong.
We strolled to the bar and were bombarded with the most caustic and disrespectful "customer service" of all time.
My group was made up of people in their 30s and 40s. We were ready to spend money and have fun. Not only did we get IDed like we were accesing a secure government facility, but the bouncer was clearly drunk and incredibly rude. He straight up made fun of us, one line sticks out "..more like 30 years over 21" to my very young looking wife in her 30s.
SHAMON! Myself and Micheal Jackson from ROCKANDHULA challenge you to a moonwalk contest to pay for what you have done. Shamon.
Avioid like the plauge that it is and go see Jason at Rumfire. The best server and...
