Skybox Taphouse

The pitch.

A third-floor, open-air sports lanai inside International Market Place that quietly triples as the most reliable karaoke room in Waikiki and one of the only legit from-scratch pizza kitchens at a sports bar. Twenty-plus screens for every game, 275 seats with a banyan-tree breeze, Skybox-branded house taps, Kona and Maui Brewing rotations, and karaoke every single night from 9 PM to 2 AM. Family-friendly at lunch, sports-loud at dinner, karaoke-loud after 9 — and the kitchen serves until 1 AM.

What it actually is.

Skybox sits on the third-floor Grand Lānai of International Market Place — same level as ShoreFyre — and uses that elevation to do something rare in Waikiki sports bars: open-air viewing, lanai breeze, 20+ screens you can see from anywhere in the 275-seat room. Three-in-one: Italian pizza kitchen, sports bar, karaoke room. From-scratch dough pizzas come out alongside burgers and wings; taps include Skybox's own Blonde and Hazy IPA plus locals from Kona and Maui Brewing; sports run on every wall from 11 AM open; at 9 PM every night karaoke turns on and runs to 2 AM.

Happy hour: what to get.

Outside happy hour, it's known for…

Nightly karaoke 9 PM-2 AM; open-air lanai with 20+ screens; one of the few sports bars with a real pizza kitchen and 1 AM food.

Best time to actually go.

Wednesday 6:30 PM — happy hour until 6, trivia starts at 7, karaoke takes over at 9, lanai perfect at golden hour.
