Renowned as the local gathering spot with the backdrop of Lē‘ahi (Diamond Head), the Pacific Ocean and an over-century-old (136 years to be exact) kiawe tree, House Without A Key is still the ultimate place to experience sunset cocktails with signature mai tais and other delectable favorites. If you’re the bookworm type, fate may have you familiarized with a Hawai‘i-inspired Charlie Chan novel that now serves as the namesake of this oceanfront destination. While the 1920s story immortalized the beloved mai tai, the restaurant one-upped its predecessor by boasting arguably the finest mai tai on O‘ahu alongside a variety of equally endeared craft cocktails and island-inspired dishes. Everything—from the historical landscape to the nightly Hawaiian music and traditional hula performances to the celebration of local ingredients—is steeped in vibrant Hawaiian culture. This iconic poolside restaurant offers all day dining featuring local style comfort food from various cultures—just like Hawai‘i itself—with its diversity of ethnicities and experiences.
