Happy Talk Lounge - Restaurant & Bar

Such a cool place with amazing music and atmosphere! Huge shoutout to the musician who was covering modern hits in a Hawaiian style - honestly, that alone is worth coming here for. The bar bites were also really good. We ordered the coconut shrimp and chicken wings, and the wings were so tasty we ended up getting a second order. Service was great and respectful. My friends got beer and really enjoyed it. I ordered a cocktail and didn’t have the best luck with it - lots of ice and a bit too bitter for my taste. I wouldn’t recommend the Hanalei Sour. One thing to note: the restroom isn’t inside the bar, it’s on the hotel property, so you’ll need to take a short walk. Overall, I’d recommend this place mainly for the vibe and live music - such a fun experince!

It was a Wednesday evening, and we weren’t even that hungry. This night was more about live music, cocktails, a light bite, and just enjoying the atmosphere together. There were four of us, and that’s exactly why this spot made sense. The place was packed — midweek, but full energy. You feel it right away: live music playing, people talking, that relaxed island vibe where everyone seems to be having a good time. We started with coffee martinis, beer, and some comfort food to share. Everything came out solid. Well cooked, nicely presented, and easy to enjoy without overthinking it. At some point it got too comfortable — I ended up ordering another round of wings and decided to try a different cocktail, the Hanalei Sour. Glad I did. Drinks were balanced, not watered down, and clearly made

Best place we ate during our week on Kauai! Atmosphere is perfect. Service was exceptional. Food delicious. They have a great happy hour. Easy to find parking. Highly recommend adding it to your itinerary!

Aloha! This is … If not the best, one of the best spots in the island for happy hours. The open concept with cross breeze keeps the temps comfy. The sunset view, depending on where you sit will be the golden hour! Let’s not get things mixed up - my review is heavily weighted on the bar and service, less so on food side. It’s a popular place and gets busy, so grabbing a spot at the bar can be a challenge. They accept reservations for the dining room and I recommend you do it if you are going at a busy time. Cocktails and wine menu is extensive - they are made well. Chili mangorita did light up our night. Longboard for beer, Negronis, rosé kept flowing. Service is fairly prompt, you won’t be waiting long before they tend to you. One of the best and most surprising things we had from the foo

Great experience for extremely tired travelers who just made it from Texas, starting their day at 0330 TX Time. The service is a 5/5 stars. We arrived within an hour before closing, absolutely no one rushed us, they didn't seem bothered by the late appearance, they even asked if we'd like more of anything super close to closing time. Mark was the waiter, he was nice and helpful. I didn't get anyone else's name, but the hostest was very sweet, agreeing that airport food is not the way to live, and then the man clearing our table was also super nice. The drinks are 5/5 for the strength, maybe a 4/5 for not covering the taste of the strength? None the less, I won't turn down a strong drink by any means, keep them coming please.
