3rd-floor rooftop pool deck with the best Diamond Head view of any Waikiki rooftop. 4-hour daily happy hour (2-6 PM), $8.50 Mai Tai Mondays, and weekend Bubbles & Beats brunch DJs.
Skip the Kalakaua sand-bar circus and go up. DECK. sits three floors above Kapahulu with a head-on Diamond Head view, a pool you can dangle your feet in, and a 4-hour daily happy hour that starts at 2 PM. Sunday brunch turns into a DJ-driven day party. Mondays the mai tais are $8.50. It's the rooftop play if you're tired of the cliche Waikiki sunset bar.
DECK. occupies the 3rd-floor rooftop pool deck of the Queen Kapiolani Hotel, on the Kapahulu side of Waikiki where the strip starts to quiet down and Diamond Head begins to dominate the skyline. The view is the point: a wraparound rooftop that puts Diamond Head dead-center and Kapiolani Park sprawling below. Daytime is bottomless mimosa brunch crowd; evening softens into cocktail-and-dinner couples; weekends bring the "Bubbles & Beats" DJ day-party. The menu emphasizes locally-sourced ingredients with American-Pacific framing.
Monday's $8.50 Mai Tai at the rooftop railing facing Diamond Head. Best discounted cocktail-with-iconic-view ratio in Waikiki.
