Reviews of Aloha Tower Marketplace (Mall)

Todd Okamoto

Weird. Not the same as when I was growing up. Now I feel really old. Sad.

MycaL E

Fun place on the waterfront

JEFF TULLIS

Great food & location.

DR Hunter

Lots of places to shop for souvenirs and such. A cultural experience.

Patty Rojo

Looks like this place was very nice a long time ago. Now it is run down.. not to many thing to do here

Kathleen Hirata

They should bake cake so that ppl can sing happy birthday

Zila Pitkin

Left Oahu 15 years ago, now Aloha tower isnt the same anymore, ita filled with HPU offices and students lodging.. Miss the old Aloha tower

Jonah Flick

Too bad this was bought by the university. Could've been a nice, vibrant, consumer friendly area

Tim Lowery

If you want to see views of the harbor and downtown, go to the top of the tower. Otherwise, the "marketplace" is pretty dead and deserted.

CR Neary

This place only has a handful of stores and restaurants. It mostly felt like an extension of the college campus, with campus classrooms and offices. Pick another mall in the area if you're looking for food and retail.

Jim Kelly

I didn't see anything here that made me excited here.

milissa beale

Beautiful to tour. Very high end stores.

Christopher Carver

This is a nice clean area with several shops. It has a lot of Hawaii Pacific University campus stuff. The only problem was with parking. We parked in an area that you have to pay at a kiosk prior to leaving. When a large group of people leave at once, many of them don't realize they have to pay before you leave, causing a log-jam at the exit.

Oscar H. Fajardo

Great views of the harbor and downtown area. Great location for the downtown restaurants and palace near by.

John Riopel

I would never thought getting off a cruise ship. And here sits dead mall. The retail apocalypse is real.

Susan Rezabek

Shopping for university books etc. Some restaurants. Spaghetti Factory and Hooters.

Stephen Hill

Beautiful location. But not parking friendly. Only had to pay 2 dollars though if you validate.

William Britton

Great view from the top.

Kevin Abe

Nice. Not as busy as it's heyday but going back for Spaghetti Factory.

Debra Wilson

It's sad that there wasn't others shops open. I understand it's a school area, but we wanted to go to the bookstore to checkout books that was closer to the windows. This area it also a tourist attraction location too.

The iconic Aloha Tower on Honolulu Harbor is surrounded by a humble shopping center, Pier 11, and the historic Falls of Clyde next to the Hawaii Maritime Center. The Aloha Tower Marketplace is home to Hawaii Pacific University students who dorm on the floors above the shops. There’s also a Barnes and Noble branded campus bookstore and a well-equipped LAN gaming center for HPU students. The facilities are in good shape, but much of the space is unused and somewhat of a ghost town. If it weren’t for the newly opened Old Spaghetti Factory, there wouldn’t be much foot traffic here.

Elle Melinoo

Love running here!!

jerel salazar

A great place for bar nights far from the wildness of chinatown nightlife but still in town. Awesome waterfront and pier setting, excellent for boat watching.

Lance Padden

Can be fun, a couple ok restaurants still left, parking is a pain. Maybe the best is the black jack table in Nashville. Go it's fun. Of course no real gaming unless betting with others for a beer now and then.

Jeffrey Dixon

Great restaurants, freaking great sunset view.

Dr. Chris Keliiwaihoikeone Camarillo

great entertainment some nights

Jane McCarty

Friendly people. Lots to see

Negativity

Iconic shopping area in downtown. Good place especially for visitors

Kris Obri

Great views but lots of walking hard for disabled. Parking is distant and you have to pay for it. Valet is cheaper then self parking.

Denise Ruiz

Only downside is the parking which is a pain. If you are lucky to get a spot you are lucky . The parking lot is VERY tight. The shops and restaurants are ok. Wish barnes and noble was open sundays.

Ivan Sanches

Good place to go for lunch.

Jeremy Shaver

Great view of the Harbor! Perfect sight seeing spot!

Beren Wong

Since the Old Spaghetti Factory moved in here, I have been visiting the place more often. It is basically on the campus of a university, but it has an gaming lounge (one of the only ones I know of on this island, and it is pretty good), a Hooters, an Old Spaghetti Factory, and more. The only bad thing about this place is the parking. It sucks. The lot is small, there is usually no parking, and the rates for parking are steep. Would be 4 stars if the parking wasn't so horrendous.

Thomas Anderson

Part of our last vacation before my wife died

Veronica Rocha crea

I love everything about this place Yeah!!!

Sergio Zermeno

Years ago Aloha Tower Market was alive wirh people and business always busy and restaurants pack with people but now it's not the same that we remember.

LINA KING

Angela Tenchi

Elegant family dining & spacious rooms for 100+ gatherings & events. Excellent menu with Shrimp Scampi recommended. A Beautiful bar at the Aloha Marketplace & Opening soon for lunch!!!

keanu Souza-Koprowski

Spaghetti factory has 1 hour free validated parking take ticket in . Food great as always

TaShana Short

Lots of stores and restaurants to choose from...beautiful walk to the beach.

Barbara Hart

Ate at Spaghetti Factory! Great experience and food. Wait help is awesome, all employees seemed happy, smiling, professional. Even though I was tired at the end of a busy day, my grandchildren came from school tired we all had a great time and food. It was nice to see Aloha Tower clock with the kids.

J Miller

Good food and drinks. A great place to meet clients, listen to live music while catching a drink or two, or just to eat a nice steak.

Gerald Haywood

We only go there for Gordon Biersch. Food is plentiful, very good and never disappointing. Right on the harbor with nice views. Suppose i should mention the beer...go for it. Wonderful brews.

Edward Rodriguez

A place to relax on the Honolulu Star dinner cruise. Or watch the Cruiseliners come into port.

Brian Hughes

Gordon Biersch is the #1 reason for this place still stands.

Dee Dee

Old Spaghetti Factory is a nice replacement for the old Chai Restaurant once there! Nice not having to walk to the back of the Marketplace.

Cynthia Keale

Great restaurants, right on the water and the magnificent tower itself.

Blair S

Great place. Try Gordon Biersch

Chris Valentine

Great place to chill at during the evening. There are two bars and a Hooters nearby, a mini Mart and a CrossFit gym as well. I love goofing off and just wandering around, you meet some amazing people over here. Side note: a lot of Japanese tourists frequent this spot as well. Think of that what you will

Carly Jones

There is nothing really here

Pius Oyebanji

The star of Honolulu was a great experience from the food, services ,entertainment and the crews!

Ron Vincent

Had an enjoyable time at Spaghetti Factory. Service and food was great

Alana Dias

There's only 3 restaurants

Deb K.

Old Spahetti House is there!! Great place to eat, food was AWESOME. Enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the marketplace. HPU University has most of the spaces, but the place is welcoming. Try the other restaurants soon.

Gabriela Coello

The food places are very good

B. A. Beeaye

The shops are all closed. Only the Old Spaghetti Factory is still in business. Validated parking on the opposite. First hour for free, every other for €2 with validatet parking ticket. Regular $3 for half an hour. Aloha tower itself is worth a visit.

Wayne Y

A few restaurants but mostly HPU focused.

Richard Stacy

Great at spaghetti restaurant

Jkeone wmsjr

Nothing special these days just the view of the majestic Honolulu Harbor the shops are minimal and it has become a dorm for some college students who attended HPC

Richard Rehder

Nice area that is clean and well kept. Free WiFi available too which is nice

S Misi

What a joke.. went to Hooters to get some food for lunch and sat there for quite awhile.. no one came by to take my order, no one even came by to bring water. Maybe cause I wasn't a guy? But when my sons showed up, - good looking 6footers local boys - ooohhhh we finally got greeted & acknowledged, and waters were brought to the table.. we left. Went to Gordon Biersch instead..

Peter Tsang

Its a college. Not a market. Perhaps it was originally built as a market style shopping centre, however, tourists didn't come and the entire complex is used as a college now.

David Dwight

A must visit landmark on Oahu

Cze Low

Good place to visit

Charlene P

Getting your parking validated doesn't make it free, just reduces the cost. That was annoying.

Miguel Fernandez

Nothing there. Good free Internet, though.

Pat Baird

Interesting place, not many shops

Cal A

Nice, but too tourisy. Not much to draw in the locals.

Doc G

Regretfully some bright bulb moved the port.. so this has been taken over by a college. Really sad

KJ Goh

Great sunset location. Explore downtown at the same.area. plenty to see.

Walter Viali

Good place to visit... Shops and good restaurants.

Jeane Hirao

Great location and looks like how it was at Ward Center. Great service.

Liza Szabo

There’s this ‘all you can eat canteen’ open for public now. Awesome breakfast by the shore.

John Scheleski

Hotters, Nash and best fun at Gordon Bierch. Reasonably priced, hreat beer food & outstanding live bands

Scott Schuman

Cool sight from the water at night.

Linda Moore

Went to Hooters,they were great

JOANNA OLIVAS

Another spot we found by accident just walking around downtown. This spot is like a forgotten tourist place which is cool because we had no wait or crowd. You can take an elevator to the 10th floor of the tower and get an amazing view of the water and down town, once your done you can go back down and grab a bite or stop at Barnes and nobles!!

Brett Janes

We've we're

Mohit Paudyal

I love the market place. It's fun with less croud and it's quite place to sit and enjoy the waters.

nihonnewbie

Cool architecture, great views.

Adam Dubov

Welcome by the Birds of Paradise. Best to come with gifts of crackers / bread. Beautiful & memorable place.

Amanda M W

Wish we could've gone up the aloha tower at night. But its beautiful there any ways

Debbie Fodor

This was a great place 15-20 years ago, but my last visit was earlier this year 2019. I found that the Marketplace had been acquired by the University and found it to be empty of all retail businesses. I had to apologize to the the friends whom were there with me, l had been so enthusiastic about the going out to the Marketplace! I was so disappointed.

Joseph Reinhart

A great little spot with a few restaurants. Ample parking in the back lot if front lot is full. But a small walk.

Lance Jones

My family and I went to Gordon Bierch late one evening. The service was excellent. The food was good. The entertainment was pretty good if you like 80's music. My burger had bun left after I finished the meat. But that is not why I enjoy Gordon's. I reacquainted myself with an old friend. The Maartzen lager is worth going there by itself. I need to remember that.

Jody Vance

Nice place. Should have more businesses though.

Vinnie Fauth

Very nice.

Ed Tseng

It's a good 20 minutes place to visit

Joseph O'Leary

Fun marketplace to hang out

Perky Patti

Disappointed. A ghost town now that HPU has taken over and it's summer break. A few restaurants - Gordon Biersch, Hooters, Old Spaghetti Factory. A Barnes and Noble bookstore. Validated parking was $2 for dinner. Also valet for a higher rate.

Lamont Hicks

Great place!

joey krems

Video games...and spaghetti... LoL... what is not to love about that..

Matthew Wright

Great Hooters restaurant here.

Tommy J Crutti

A sight to see beautiful view of the skyline of Honolulu you can see pride of America cruise liners magnificent Coast Guard Cutter that help keep America safe God Bless America your friend Tom

Leslie Ruff

Ate dinner at Gordan Biersch Brewery Restaurant, great food, beer and entertainment. The ship attached was in Port from Peru.

Kıvanç Dalgıç

Not much things going on and also just couple shops are available and also just for small things . You can find.Of course still nice to be area at least you can still and have cold beer

Denise Zimmerle

A pleasant stop on a walk before whale cruise. We visited historic tower only, with ride in the historic elevator to observation deck. This must be a has been- it was very quiet at 10 am, a surprise since tourism in this town starts before light!

Joyce Hamilton

Nice.

Kerrie Roser

Stopping of point for 15 day cruise from sydney

Michael Rush

Aloha Tower market place is fantastic. Several great places to eat, drink, listen to live music and enjoy the view of sea, sky and harbor.

David W. Stout

Great place for Lunch or Dinner and just to get outside and hang out

John Kolessar

I loved to Gordon biersch restaurant. The Pele's tear beer is the best. Visited 3 times during the week. Unlimited fries, sweet potato ones are awesome

Mark Grubb

We took a cruise and a dinner on the Star of Holalulu. A great show and great food. You need to treat yourself to this!

momo mama

We come here to check out the reef fish in the harbor. Fishes enjoy the bread and birds love the bread too. Lots of tourist get dropped off every 30 min to take selfies. Nice ocean and Falls of Clyde backdrop. Bring a hat, full sun blast here.

amit kumar

Its a beautiful place....good for shopping...

j. corpuz

Parking us convenient and shops and resturants limited

Jeremy Metras

This is the new location of the spaghetti factory and this place has a great view of the harbor

Edward Szotak

Great view from the top and it's free

Topher Ellis

Not a lot here anymore. That's mostly a university with a couple of eateries open to the public and a free visit to the Aloha Tower which is panoramic and very interesting.

Tina Canning

I love this historic tower

gavin epple

Some good bars like Nashville Waikiki, Hooters and Gordon Burch. The views from the tower are amazing in all 4 directions.

Christopher Knightsbridge

Beautiful but pricey

Amelia Bryan

Fun spot for day tripping, exploring.

Lynda Barry

Since becoming a facility of Hawai'i Pacific University many of the stores and restaurants have closed. Hopefully some of them will start coming back soon.

R Pach

I don't frequent this place much but I love hooter's! Oh and spaghetti factory is there now. Bonus!

Robin Kelley

Loved Club Nashville!

Nene Saloma

Hooters and spaghetti factory, yum!

Bobby J. Soto

Great location with good restaurants. Plenty of validated parking available.

Jimmy Brown

Parking is very expensive I mean too much even with validation if longer than one hour

David Hipwell

Tourist area prices are high, clean well maintained.

Alvin Okubo

Beautiful must check out the tower

E M

Nice place. Wish they had better shops. But looking over the pier is amazing. So many tropical fish.

Rick Baez

Great place to enjoy eat relax and sight see

Timothy Harris

Great live bands and food!

Amanda F

Definitely worth the short trip to the top of this historic lighthouse tower for a 360 degree view of the Honolulu pier.
