The Butcher Bar

The bone marrow burger and the lobster mac bites were super ono! It's a small and quaint spot, perfect for a date night with someone. Service was fast and the burger was definitely worth wanting to come back for.- Miguel Morales Photography

Tried this establishment during happy hour, which runs daily from 4-6. You can get happy hour items/drinks and regular items. Full name is The Butcher Bar by Aloha Steakhouse, which is right next door, and they are affiliated. Love the melted candle decided on each table. It is a bar, so half the tables are worth bar stools. There's one booth that we squeezed 5 people into. Otherwise make got reservation on Open Table. Because we had a party of 5, open table wouldn't allow us to book and I had to call to make the reservation. But confirmation was on Open Table. Really recommend the bone marrow burger, made with steak trimmings: ribeye, tenderloin, strip loin, and ofcourse bone marrow, which added a wonderful richness, caramelized onions, havarti cheese, and bacon! It was amazing!During happy hour, if you order the burger, steak sandwich or sliders, you can get this a $3 beer. Drinks were good. Smoked old fashioned was presented well, but the smoke was on the burnt tasting side, not "smoky". We had folks who wanted burgers and steak sliders but didn't want beer, so others took the beer since it was only $3. Worked out well. Steak sliders were good, slices of steak, but the bone marrow burger was the best. Appetizers that were got were reduced pricing during happy hour: lobster mac cheese bites, Burrata with sourdough, spicy ahi nachos. Lobster mac cheese - as others have mentioned, light in the lobster flavor. (Really wanted the bacon mac cheese bits but that's not on the menu anymore :( ...) fried Burrata and sourdough was good but not amazing. Spicy ahi nachos on wonton chips were really good - fish was nice and fresh and there was plenty hiding under the chips. Dry aged steak was very good, cooked to order properly. Desserts: ours server overheard we were celebrating birthdays so he brought us a complimentary brownie along with the Kona coffee crème brûlée that we ordered. The brownie was absolutely amazing - daughter said she would come back just for that, and I would come back for the bone marrow burger and spicy ahi nachos! The Kona coffee crème brûlée is definitely for coffee lovers - the coffee flavor is intense, but good if you like coffee and don't mind that it's not sweet. Note: there's an AC, but it's open door to seats on the lanai so it's on the warm side, especially the booth we were seated at. Dress comfy, it's casual.

Came across this bar while strolling around Waikiki. Situated right next to Aloha Steakhouse- actually a sister bar/restaurant.Cool ambiance. Reminds me of a masculine ish steakhouse feel. They display the dry aged steaks for everyone to admire.We went during happy hour and had their bone marrow burger and filet sliders.4/5 for both. They were pretty good the happy hour deal is a plus. Portions of the slider were appropriate for an adult. We had draft beers. So can't comment on the cocktails. But will try it next time.Service was great. It was busy but the server was attentive.For those of you visiting Waikiki, this is worth a try.

Stopped by the Butcher Bar for a quick happy hour before our dinner reservation and it was a cute spot. Decent happy hour menu. Friendly staff. We ordered a regular fries and this was a bit disappointing as it was very soggy. For drinks we got a beer and white wine both okay.

Don't get it mixed up with The Butcher and Bird, which is a completely separate establishment, no affiliation to each other. Though the Butcher Bar is associated with the restaurant group who also runs Zigu, Goofy Cafe, Heavenly, etc. Shares a kitchen with their sister restaurant, Aloha Steak House, thus, some items are similar, but the vibe of this place is totally different. I really love the melted candle and library look to it. I personally wished it was enclosed and not open air, so that you could really get a dark library speakeasy type of feel to it. Big shout out to Peyton (sp?) for being the quirky self that he is, keeping up with our witty banter and being the most hospitable that evening. Another younger server came to assist us that evening, but definitely didn't vibe as well as Peyton did. Peyton eventually became our main server for that evening and gave us suggestions on what to order, checked up to see how his suggestions panned out and brought us a glass of champagne to celebrate a birthday with. He picked up on the comment I made earlier that I didn't drink alcohol. He assertively brought me a glass of sparkling soda with grenadine to make me feel included as well, nice touch. As for the food, we came here for the restaurant week menu (which come to find out was a modified version of their dusk menu). Started with a watermelon salad that was topped with feta and a balsamic vinaigrette which was refreshing. Had a choice of a NY (10oz) or Ribeye (12oz) to which we got one of each to share. The plating and presentation of the main dishes could use a little work, but the flavors were there. The steak was nice and buttery, not overly seasoned. I just wish they did a little something to the sides and veggies to give it an elevated flair. We ended with Lappert's Ice Cream which gave us a choice of vanilla, Kona Coffee or matcha green tea. Aside from all of that, we ordered the lobster mac and cheese bites (couldn't quite taste nor pinpoint the lobster in there). I feel like the noodles or mixture inside of the bites could've been a little more gooey-cheesy-melty. We also ordered the fried burrata and sourdough which had a nice chimichurri on it. Slap the components altogether and it's like a sandwich/meal in itself. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and Peyton's company that evening!

#36 of 52 (weeks of trying a new restaurant at least once a week)We were enjoying a staycation in Waikiki and I chose this place for my honeys birthday dinner. We made reservations towards the end of happy hour so we could take advantage of the happy hour specials. It's cute inside but it was quite warm. We sat at a table inside and eventually moved outside when one became free to get more air.We ordered almost the whole happy hour menu. We started with ahi tacos which was easily our favorite pupu. We ordered both types of fried macaroni balls. The lobster ones had a good amount of lobster in them but they were pretty dry. The bacon ones were better, moist and nice and cheesy. For our main dishes my honey got the burger made with 3 kinds of meat and bone marrow. The burger was the best part of the meal. So juicy and delicious. I got the sliders and while good I wished I'd gotten the burger. It was a nice place and the meal was really good.

Everything was a 10/10, the service (Issac and Peyton) were awesome and the food and drinks were insane, it was exactly what we're looking for! Checked all the boxes!

A choice place in Waikiki...The Butcher Bar is a cozy new spot in Waikiki...Marine Surf Waikiki to be honest and you wouldn't really have known that as there's zero signage and the only what we figured it out is the address on the hotel sign was the same with the restaurant which then i noticed a menu that had the name on it.Cozy doesn't begin to describe the seating here as there's a small bar counter seating, a huge community table in the middle along with a few two seater tables besides the outdoor patio area along with a very minimalistic decor the vibe doesn't quite scream butcher bar though the massive Dry Aging Chamber would otherwise say differently.Menu offerings are quite simple with some small dishes, burger and a couple of sandwiches you can experience the "Dusk Dinner" course or just Ala carte it with some of their yummy entrees.We decided on the Tenderloin Sliders which was much more meatier than I thought with two thick slices of Filet Mignon and carmelized onions served with fries it certainly was a bougie bite.To balance things out i wanted the Petite Wedge which was just that as a wedge of iceberg lettuce is drenched in dressing topped with bleu cheese crumble and walnuts and a few chunks of pork belly was a fun and interesting twist on a yummy salad.We also got the Stuffed Portobello or i think is what you called it as it wasn't on the menu but stuffed with three types of cheese was too hard to resist and it was a nice and delicate bite that i enjoyed.The service here is nice and friendly having a cozy spot for a bit of flair is nice and really enjoyed it all.Thank you!

Dinner in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii...Searching our Yelp apps, Irene and I found this Hot New Business called:The Butcher Bar by Aloha Steakhouse Located at the Marine Surf Waikiki Hotel, The Butcher Bar utilizes the meats and marrow that its sister restaurant, Aloha Steakhouse, would normally throw away. We did see Aloha Steakhouse across the way from The Butcher Bar.The Butcher Bar is a casual, open-air venue. We sat at the bar, near the air conditioning vent (above). We appreciate the purse hooks along the bar!We decided to share the Stuffed Portobello mushroom (not on the menu), the Petite Wedge Salad, and the Tenderloin Sliders - two thinly sliced filet mignon with caramelized onions and garlic mayo. They were served with House cut fries - yum! Everything was delicious and had beautiful presentation!We didn't have a reservation, but we waited at the door (before opening time), so we were the first customers of the day!Thank you to our server! She was a young, efficient, competent gal who really knew the menu and which items were Happy Hour specials! Thanks for the Kama'aina discount and for refilling our water glasses with orange and mint infused water!

Hard to make a reservation over the phone when no one answers. The posted phone number is correct and maybe theyre busy, but how are people supposed to enjoy the delicious-looking menu if reservations arn't taken. Next time maybe!
