Pina Colada in Side — Hawaii Restaurant & Bar

The Pina Colada at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar in Side is a soft, creamy rum cocktail built on Bacardi, Malibu and milk. It's mixed to order at our bar in Side old town, poured smooth and easy to sip — the kind of relaxed, tropical-leaning drink you reach for on a warm Antalya evening.

What the Pina Colada is at Hawaii

Ask any bartender and you'll hear a slightly different Pina Colada — that's part of the fun of the drink. Ours at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar keeps things clean and creamy: Bacardi, Malibu and milk. Bacardi brings the light rum backbone, Malibu layers in that mellow coconut note the Pina Colada is famous for, and milk rounds everything into a smooth, gentle finish rather than a sharp one.

It's an honest, uncomplicated pour — not a fussy layered creation, just three things that get along beautifully. If you're picturing the Pina Colada exactly as your favourite beach bar back home serves it, ours may taste a touch different, and that's fine: this is our take, built the way we like to pour it in Side.

How we serve it in Side old town

Every Pina Colada is mixed fresh to order at the bar — nothing sitting around waiting. You'll get it in the middle of the lively, easygoing atmosphere Hawaii has been known for in Side old town since 2000: the wood fire and charcoal grill working away nearby, the karaoke stage warming up, sport on the screens. It fits right in whether you're perched at the bar or settled at a table with the whole group.

Because the recipe leans creamy and coconut-soft rather than boozy-forward, it's an approachable cocktail — a good first drink of the night or a slow one to nurse while the food arrives.

Who it's for and when to order it

The Pina Colada is for anyone who likes their cocktail smooth and a little indulgent rather than dry or bitter. It's a favourite with holidaymakers winding down after a beach day, couples easing into a long dinner, and anyone who just wants something that tastes like being on holiday.

The smartest time to order? During our daily Happy Hour, 19:00–20:00 — that hour is made for a cocktail on the way into dinner. It's also a natural pick before karaoke gets going, or as a nightcap since we're open every day until late. If you love this style of drink, browse our wider cocktail bar for more.

What to pair it with

A Pina Colada is easy company for food. Its creamy, coconut-leaning character sits nicely alongside anything off the wood fire and charcoal grill — chicken wings, calamari, or a shared mixed grill all work well with a cool, sweet cocktail on the side.

Prefer to switch it up over the evening? Start with the Pina Colada, then move on to a cold beer with your main, or a glass of red if you're going for steak — just ask at the bar for what's pouring. Cocktail fans should also try our house Blue Hawaii and our frozen cocktails — perfect for a hot Side night. Kids at the table? They've got their own alcohol-free cocktails, so nobody's left out of the round.

How it fits the wider menu

The Pina Colada sits in our Cocktails list, one part of a menu that runs from thin-crust 33cm pizzas and grilled dishes to steaks and desserts. Plenty of guests treat it as the drink that bookends the meal: a cocktail to open, our kitchen through the middle, and maybe a coffee or dessert to close. Whatever else you order, it's an easy one to build the evening around.
