    I grew up going to this place when it was the outrigger showroom and feature the society of seven, now it's the blue note and they maintain the vibes but still upgraded the experience and I am very grateful for the venue. Allowing so many talented people to come through. Through. This night was one of my favorites Streetlight Cadence, they absolutely killed it and the prices for the venue and the merch aftterwards were very reasonable. I was able to tell a group of traveling tourists to join me for a band they've never heard of.

    Loved everything about Blue Note. Every seat in the house has perfect views. I love the way they set up the seating so that the best seats are not left open. I love the way the COVID standards are still in place and how everything is so so organized. Loved it and will be making this place a regular adventure for me.

    2 out of 4 local comedians were hilarious. Jon B, & Shield E were highlights while we were there. Reserve tickets on line. Prices are cheap.$10-30 but if you get tickets for seating, it's first come first serve. No seat is bad. Up close and personal to stage. Food is a little pricey. $15 for truffle fries and came out cold. Best to eat before you go and enjoy a few drinks instead. There is a $10 minimum at each table.

    Blue Note Hawaii is a chic club located within the Outrigger, in Waikiki. Patrons are to purchase tickets for events and furthermore, by attending, agree to pay at least $10, per person, per set. The prices of the drinks and food certainly facilitate that as well. Prices are high, on par with typical tourist spots on Oahu. Staff is efficient and friendly, our server was very willing to help us with our every need during the event we attended. Food is good, and portion sizes are appropriate for prices. Sound is good here too. Seating is first come, first served so early birds get best options. All in all, it’s a decent/small place to catch an act, have some food, and enjoy your time. Oh, and they validate parking, so that’s nice.

    I came here with a group of friends for a Wed Night comedy show. The venue is really nice and clean, with really cool blue lighting. The staff was very friendly and came by frequently during the show. The performers were funny, but just a warning that some of the jokes are very adult themed - maybe not something for a family activity!

    Loved the music, but even though we paid for premium tickets they said it only gets you through door and others can sit at your table; did not like that, especially in a covid world.

    Went to Halloween Concert there on October 27. The Range was the performing artists. The music was great and entertaining, but the volume was low at times so was hard to hear in those moments. The drinks were decent, had a jack n coke and an Old Fashioned. Ordered a chicken Flatbread, it was not so great. Overall a good time was had.

    $45-55 per seat to see Sammy Johnson. Bar vs floor seating, doesn't really matter because they are both amazingly close to the stage. Very large crowd, but was enough space to socially distance ourselves from other groups. On the L level of Outrigger Beach Resort. $10 drink/food minimum per set.

    We've been to Blue Note twice. We most recently saw Josh Tatofi on Valentine's day, and he is amazing! Food is mostly bar food (pizza, burgers, fries) but they do offer a fish, steak, and salads. The venue is awesome, we love getting general seating tickets and posting up at the bar seating in the back-left side of the venue. We weren't super impressed with our food last time as my husband's pizza was burned and shouldn't have been served. I had a mushroom ravioli that was great. They validate parking at the check-in desk and I recommend arriving early. There was a line we had to wait in last time and you may have less seating choice if you arrive when the doors open (for general seating Tix).

    We attended the All 4 One concert at Blue note on July 23rd. We were a party of 4. The staff was awesome. Adam was our server who did an excellent job tending to our orders. Drinks were cold and food was hot. Of course the entertainment was great.

    We came here to watch the Macy Gray show and it was great! We got the premium seating and the seats were right in front of the stage. The food was good not great, the prices are what you can expect for the area.

    Anniversary night! Had dinner, watched Anuhea perform. Then we got to meet her and take a picture. Good times! I told her on my last deployment to Iraq. I listened to her music a lot. Brought me and the other local boys through some tough times. Anuhea, you are loved! My family loves you, and every time we see you perform, it is always a great time!

    Attending Candlelight: Vivaldi’s Four Seasons at the Blue Note Hawaii was a truly magical experience. The elegant music resonated beautifully, creating a mesmerizing atmosphere. While the food leaned towards the expensive side, its swift arrival and the impeccable service made it a worthwhile indulgence. A night of exquisite melodies and fine dining, leaving a lasting impression.

    Saw a great comedy show here! Drinks were weak and pricey, food was expensive but good. Service was awesome and the space is nice, but seating is communal FYI. Would come back!

    We had a great time at the Jon B concert. Parking was as expected, we parked at Royal Hawaiian since the Outrigger lot was already full 2hrs before the show. The venue was nice and easy to find, the food we did have was delicious but based on what we would've purchased, most items are overpriced. Our waiter was nice and even though its fcfs we found great seating in our area. I'd go again, the drinks are great

    Love the remake of the showroom, intimate atmosphere, safety protocols and look forward to seeing other venues presented there. Staff was very helpful and courteous.

    Relaxing atmosphere, good food. I loved tge truffle fries!!! The Hawaiian music and hula were the best part of the evening.

    Very efficient with their time. Food is prepared prior, so it comes out quick. Alcoholic beverages are good. Atmosphere is upbeat, loud, and busy.

    The venue itself was nice. Food and service was good. When you purchase tickets you're given 2 options for Self-Park or Valet Park. Arriving an hour before showtime both parking options were at full capacity leaving the only option of finding street parking or a garage about a city block away. So anyone who has difficulty walking or is not familiar with the area has a high probability to be either too far away or could possibly get lost or late for the actual show.

    Dinner is a bit pricey but it's an upscale gourmet meal with very good live entertainment. Nice evening out. I went for Ho'Keena For The Holidays. Seating for singles or groups. Parking nearby is about $15, but not all garages are validated by the club so be prepared to eat that cost. Service was attentive, club was nicely decorated for the holidays. There's a nice surfing memorabilia display featuring Duke Kahanamoku and shops downstairs in the lobby. Waikiki beach is a few steps away down Surfers Alley near the club.

    Yesterday, we enjoyed the orchestra's performance of Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" by candlelight. Despite the splendid execution, the surrounding noise created some obstacles for fully immersing ourselves in the atmosphere of the piece. I believe this venue is worth visiting for those who appreciate tranquility and harmony in music. I give the musicians a five star rating for their excellent work! Overall, I enjoyed the venue, but it was a bit stuffy inside.

    Went for a candlelight concert and really enjoyed the show! Loved the music but the food was not impressive, especially considering the price. Cocktails were $18+ so I passed on those. Next time I’ll definitely eat beforehand!

    Candlelight: A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics by Range Ensemble. The music could have been turned up some. But overall was very entertaining. We enjoyed every minute of the show.

  • 5/5 Chris C. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent small venue. Great for seeing your favorite artists in an intimate setting.

  • 4/5 Alan B. 3 months ago on Google New
    Wonderful venue but NOT the right location for classical music. Dinner and drink service were WAY too loud and distracted from the event. Now....the musicians were awesome and the music was delightful. Just a shame to have to compete with rattling drinks and people eating. Tip: pick seating as far away from the bar as possible.

    My husband and I saw the Wednesday local comedy show while we were on Oahu back at the end of June. It was a fun setting and nice to see some local talent. The food was a little expensive for what it was and some of the jokes were a little too crude (even for our taste)... but it was a fun experience :)
