International Market Place is one of the best spots in Waikiki for dining, shopping, and nightlife — and if you're heading there to eat, Skybox Taphouse on the third-floor Grand Lanai should be at the top of your list. With a full kitchen open until 1 AM, two bars, 20+ TVs, and live entertainment every night, Skybox offers more than any other restaurant in the complex.
Third Floor, Grand Lanai — The Best Seat in the House
Skybox is located on International Market Place's Grand Lanai, the open-air dining level that takes up the entire third floor. Take the escalators up from the ground floor and you're in a completely different atmosphere from the shopping levels below — open sky, warm breeze, and views across Waikiki.
The venue seats 275 guests across indoor and outdoor areas with two full-size bars. Whether you're here for a quick lunch, a long dinner, game day, or a late-night bite, the open-air layout makes Skybox feel like more than just a restaurant. It's a destination.
The Menu Goes Beyond Bar Food
A lot of people walk into International Market Place looking for somewhere to eat and don't realize that Skybox has one of the most complete menus in the building. The full kitchen serves hand-crafted pizzas (whole pies and by the slice), Upper-Cut jumbo wings in Buffalo, Honey Sriracha, or Hawaiian BBQ, All-Star fish tacos, Triple Play nachos for the table, Kalua smoked pork sliders, Wisconsin golden cheese curds, burgers, quesadillas, salads, and more.
There's also a dedicated breakfast menu on weekends, a late-night menu running from 10 PM to 1 AM every night, and a kids menu for families. That range — breakfast through late night, seven days a week — makes Skybox the most versatile dining option at International Market Place.
Happy Hour at International Market Place
If you're looking for happy hour at International Market Place, Skybox runs one of the best deals in Waikiki: Monday through Friday, 3-6 PM. $5 domestic pints, $7 local Hawaiian drafts (Kona Longboard, Maui Big Swell, Skybox house beers, and more), $11 signature cocktails (normally $16), and discounted pupus. It's a regular after-work stop for locals and an easy call for visitors looking to save on drinks without sacrificing quality.
The full drink menu includes two house-brewed beers — the Skybox Blonde and a Hazy IPA with mango and guava — plus 11 signature cocktails, wine, seltzers, and spirit-free options. Pitchers and towers are available for groups.
Open Later Than Anywhere Else in the Building
This is one of the biggest reasons to choose Skybox if you're dining at International Market Place. Most restaurants in the complex close their kitchens by 10 or 11 PM. Skybox keeps the kitchen running until 1 AM and the bar open until 2 AM — every single night. If you're at International Market Place after dinner hours, Skybox is where you go.
Whether you're wrapping up a night out, catching a late West Coast game, or just someone who eats late, you can get a full meal here when everywhere else in the building has closed for the night.
Live Sports on 20+ Screens
Skybox is the only restaurant at International Market Place built for watching sports. Over 20 TVs with state-of-the-art picture and sound cover NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, UFC, NCAA, Premier League, and more. Sound is on for the big games, and every seat in the house has a clear sightline to a screen. If you're visiting Waikiki and don't want to miss a game, this is the only spot at International Market Place — and one of the only spots in Waikiki — where the viewing experience is taken seriously.
Karaoke and Trivia
Beyond sports, Skybox is the entertainment hub of International Market Place. Karaoke runs every single night from 9 PM to 2 AM — not just weekends, every night. It's become one of the most popular things to do at International Market Place after dark. Wednesday nights feature trivia at 7 PM, with karaoke following at 9.
No other restaurant in the complex offers nightly entertainment like this. If you're looking for something to do at International Market Place beyond shopping and dinner, Skybox is it.
Private Events and Groups
Skybox is also the go-to venue at International Market Place for private events. The 275-seat capacity, two bars, AV setup, and karaoke make it work for birthdays, corporate outings, watch parties, and group celebrations. Custom food and drink packages are available. Call 808-378-8542 to inquire.
Parking and Getting There
International Market Place has a 700+ stall parking garage, which makes driving to Waikiki for dinner a realistic option — especially for locals who don't want to deal with street parking. The complex is at 2330 Kalakaua Avenue, between Kalakaua and Kuhio Avenues. Take the escalators to the third floor and head to the Grand Lanai.
Skybox Taphouse is open daily 11 AM to 2 AM. Walk-ins are always welcome, or save a table if you're coming with a group or for a big game.
