RumFire Waikiki is an oceanfront bar and restaurant at the Sheraton Waikiki, 2255 Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii. Its open-air terrace overlooks Waikiki Beach and is centred on firepits that glow after sunset, giving the venue a warm, lounge-like atmosphere. The crowd is a mix of Sheraton guests, visitors from nearby hotels and some local residents, mainly adults in the evening but with families present earlier. The dress code is resort casual, with aloha shirts, sundresses and neat shorts typical; swimwear is best covered. The ambience is relaxed and social, with the sound of surf in the background, and music is generally a curated playlist or occasional live acts rather than a club programme. The drinks list is built around rum, with tropical cocktails, rum flights, mai tais, craft cocktails and a selection of beer and wine. The food menu covers shareable plates, flatbreads, seafood and burgers, and breakfast is also served in the morning. Prices follow Waikiki resort levels, and cocktails often cost roughly US$16 to US$22. The venue operates daily from about 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM, with hours subject to change. There is no cover charge, and reservations are advisable for sunset dinner seating or larger parties, particularly on weekends and holidays. The best fireside tables fill first, so arriving shortly before sunset improves the chance of a good spot. Weekday late afternoons and early evenings are calmer. Visitors should check the RumFire website for the current menu, hours and any live music schedule before visiting.
