I am so glad we managed to find this place, it was worth it. The drinks weren't amazing but the atmosphere and the friendliness of the patrons and staff was top notch. It felt like being in a time machine (which also would explain the drink quality, that seemed like it was from the 70s maybe) and just the sort of secret, local vibe. (I know the place was full of tourists, but it still felt a little hidden and the bartender and the dude sitting next to us had known each other for years and gave us so much gossip and old stories and such that we didn't even notice anyone else. ) With the gorgeous marina outside and the sunset light filtering through the windows, we were enchanted and very sad we didn't live close by.

Last of the true tiki bars on Oahu. Great location, amazing decor, a funky well worn gem in the tiki bar. world. I always bring the malahini here when we have company. Go here before she is gone forever, you won't regret it.

Visited May 2103,on a tuesday. Incredible. Is a bit hard to find, but be persitent - well worth it. Food, drinks etc great. The Hawaiian Piano music just added to the experience. Go early.

After 23 years of living on the islands I FINALLY made it to La Mariana! It was worth the wait, loved every minute there, the staf was friendly, the bar was Beautiful, Food was good and had a great selection of mugs and shirts to purchase.. This is an authentic Tiki bar that has been around since it all started, How could you go wrong!!
Enjoy!
Aloha!!

We visited La Mariana Sailing Club in 2009 during an Oahu vacation. The club is difficult to find, but once there, settle in and enjoy this gem. The decor is marvelous. Everything you want it to be.

We loved this place! I still keep my temporary membership card in my wallet, and the mug we purchased with our umbrella drink is now holding our toothbrushes. Such happy reminders ...

OK just got back from Hawaii August 2011
So got on the bus at Waikiki and walked down from Nimitz Hwy - Very industrial type Road. Go to this oases at 3:00 pm just in time for lunch, cheese burger ( was very good ) Taxi would be a good option. Anyway it's fantastic, picked up a mug and tee shirt.

I went here again in January for my birthday, and they once again had mugs for sale. It was pretty expensive for a restaraunt tiki mug (nearly $30) but it seems very well amde and it does say La Marianna on the bottom. I agree with an above poster that the menu is improved, but it is still not polynesian. I had a greens salad (very good) and some cream cheese poppers. Not a bad way to spend a birthday, although I wish the drink menu was more exotic.

The 3 docks were thrashed in the tsunami; restaurant & bar were totally undamaged. They've had a supreme volunteer effort, and have put the docks back together as best as possible; their latest facebook pic shows boats moored there, so I'm thinking the financial impact is not that significant. Lucky...

Current reports are that the marina is gone, but that the restaurant is not actually damaged. I would imagine that the financial impact could be significant, though. Hold a good thought...

La Mariana is gone! My husband and I were entertaining a friend from Guam there just last night. Little did we know when we ordered shots of Patron for last call that it would be our last call at LMSC ever.
Our condolences and prayers for Coburn and the rest of the LMSC crew. You will be missed. :(

Found out La Mariana sits on leased land, and the lease is up in 5 years. Don't know who owns the land (I think it might be the state of Hawaii), but I hope they chose to write a new lease for the place. It's not a good space for pretty much anything else, as it's irregular.

Also found out the rumor about the realtor developer was false; apparently, La Mariana is in a trust and the employees have an ownership interest in it. What a wonderful way to perpetuate the giving spirit of Annette Nahinu...

The one downside of La Mariana in the past was the food. However, earlier this year, they've ramped up the kitchen and now have a full blown polynesian/tiki menu with appetizers, salads & entrees. Food is MUCH improved now; they've also added a widescreen TV at the bar...

Last year, I visited La Mariana to find that Annette Nahinu had passed away. There was a rumor that, just prior to her passing, she had been convinced to sign away the ownership to a realtor/developer, who was now considering knocking it down to build condos. I'm hoping this is all rumor; if you know anything different or have updated news, please post. La Mariana is a treaure, and it would be really sad if we lost another great Tiki bar...

Every August, my college buddy & I make our annual pilgrammage to Oahu for 10 days; La Mariana is the 1st place we go immediately upon landing, and the last place we visit before leaving. It's hard to locate (it's in a small industrial area near the airport bordering the canals, with not very clear directions or signs), but it's well worth finding; it's the last original non-ironic Tiki bar left in the Hawaiian Islands, and it's my kind of place. Haven't tried the food, but the drinks are great. Have gotten to know one of the bartenders, Waylan, who's a great guy. The one drink downside is, they no longer serve drinks in Tiki heads; I guess too many people were stealing them, or they're too expensive to replace. Regardless, if you like Tiki bars, this place is ground zero...

I try to make it there every once in awhile. Visitors to hawaii definitely need to check it out for the decor. The drinks are good, but the menu is not polynesian. Last time I was there I had lasagna! Call ahead, so see if there will be entertainment. My first time there I had a wonderful time because of the pianoman. He had a lot of talent.

Visited La Mariana in October 2009. An early visit (before 9:00 PM) on Thursday nights will provide you with a special treat. A group of locals gather every Thursday for an open mic night and they sing non-stop till 9:00 PM. The song variety is wide, and the talent is quite good!

Also, the Zombies are quite tasty!
