Tropics Ale House - Honolulu

The restaurant served ground beef instead of authentic carne asada. We were charged for an appetizer that we attempted to order, but it was out of stock. The drinks were watered down, and the tots were just average.

The price was comparable to other, nicer restaurants nearby. However, the food quality was poor for the brisket, and smoked chicken dish. I would say 45/50 for the amount you get since the prices are higher for the resort areas (the amount of food is not a lot), it was not worth 85$. In fact, I'd say stay far away from that dish, this place has better stuff than that one. Though it still isn't great.The Blue Ocean beverage was very over poured and awful.The Sunset beverage was great, nice blends of alcohol. The fries were lightly battered, but that was it. Why not use the pickled onion to make something to pair? Or something pineapple/bbq? Just seemed strange to not have anything else.These were the best things out of the order.The onion was okay. The coleslaw was very fresh! The bratwurst was alright, but barely had any pineapple in it. The brisket was okay, but for the amount of fat it had, it had very little flavor to it, and was really overcooked. Which explains the heavy need for all the sauce. The chicken was so dry. This was the worst thing I've eaten in awhile. The sauce did nothing for it. It was way overcooked, and too dry.I felt bad for the waiter, since it was very busy.Will not return here and now I am wishing I could have spent that money elsewhere more deserving. Don't go here!Go to Tanaka or somewhere that is actually worth a 120/140 food bill, you'll get more options, more food, better experience, better service, and overall just better options.

LADIES BEWARE!!!! I have gone to this bar on several occasions.The last two times I went, I told the bartender I only wanted two drinks hard seltzers. The past two times I have went there, I blacked out and ended up on the side of the road. On July 3 I woke up disoriented, confused and wondering what happened. My purse was gone and I was stranded in Waikiki. Considering that I blacked out twice upon dining in... I am assuming that someone who works there is putting something extra in my drink. Please be careful.

Good atmosphere. Food and service ok. Went for trivia and wouldn’t recommend. With about 3 minutes to answer each question, the pace was way to slow. Also, there is no limit on team size, which is annoying. A dozen+ people with 3 minutes to answer a question doesn’t make for fair or engaging competition for a 2-4 person team there specifically for trivia.

Not busy, good service, great pico de Gallo on those tacos. Go on Monday, the live music is a one man guitar/singer who kills it.
