Steak & Cocktails in Side — Grill Dinner With a Full Bar

For steak and cocktails in Side, Hawaii Restaurant & Karaoke Bar pairs a wood-fire grilled Fillet Mignon or Hawaii Steak with a signature cocktail, wine or cold beer in one venue. In Side old town since 2000, open daily 10:00–02:00, with 30+ cocktails and a Happy Hour at 19:00–20:00.

One table, two cravings: a proper grill and a full bar

Most nights the choice is either a good steakhouse or a lively bar. In Side old town, Hawaii Restaurant & Karaoke Bar is both under one roof. The kitchen runs a wood-fire and charcoal grill, so your cut arrives with real smoke and char — while the bar behind you is pouring 30+ cocktails, wine and cold beer. You don't drive from a restaurant to a bar afterwards; you settle in, order a Fillet Mignon, and let the drinks keep coming.

We've been on 512. Sk. since 2000, and this pairing is the whole idea: a serious plate of meat with a drink that actually matches it. Browse everything on the full menu before you arrive, or just walk the old-town lanes and let your nose find the grill.

The steaks worth building a night around

The grill is where Hawaii earns its name for meat. Steak lovers usually go straight for the Fillet Mignon or the house Hawaii Steak, but the board runs deeper than that. There's Fillet steak, Beef steak and the ever-reliable Daily steak, plus classic sauced options — Pepper steak, Mushroom steak, Onion steak, Beef Béarnaise and Tournedos Béarnaise. If you want a showpiece, the Plank steak and the Hawaii Special (For 2) are made for sharing, and the lamb special is there for anyone who wants to step off beef.

Cooked over charcoal and finished at the heat you ask for, these are the reason people book a table here twice in one holiday. For a deeper look at how the cuts compare, our guide to the best steak in Side and the wider steakhouse in Side write-up go plate by plate.

What to drink with your steak

A good steak asks for a good drink, and this is where the bar side of Hawaii comes in. Reach for a bold red wine if you want something classic against a peppered or Béarnaise cut — our Turkish wine guide for Side is a handy shortcut if you're new to local labels. Prefer something crisp and easy after a warm day in the old town? A cold beer sits perfectly next to grilled beef.

And if you'd rather treat the meal like a night out, the cocktail list is 30-plus deep. A signature cocktail before the grill lands turns dinner into an occasion — start with our Blue Hawaii signature cocktails, then let the bar team steer you from there. Serious mixed-drink people can dig into the full range in our best cocktail bar in Side rundown.

Time it right: Happy Hour and the after-dinner hours

There's a smart way to play a steak-and-cocktails night here. Arrive for Happy Hour, 19:00–20:00, open with a cocktail while the grill fires, then move to your steak and a glass of wine or a beer as the room fills. Because the kitchen and bar run late — we're open daily until 02:00 — you're never rushed off your table. Stay for karaoke, or catch live sport on the screens: football, the Premier League, the Champions League, Formula 1 and hockey.

Family-friendly, halal meat, and easy to reach

Hawaii is a proper bar, so alcohol is served — but it's also a place families come for dinner. All our meat and chicken are halal (halal slaughter); pork is only available on request, prepared in a separate area with dedicated equipment. That means you can order a halal steak and still have the full drinks list at the table, whatever the rest of your group prefers.
