👍 They did a great rehab of this long neglected building and club bar vibe in the back room. BUT for a bar touting itself as “EP” aka a place requiring reservations to hear vinyl dont go expecting great audio…zero attention was paid to interior surfaces for acoustic impact (basalt walls, corrugated st...

👍👍 We stopped in the NightHawk on a rainy night and the vibes were incredible. The staff was welcoming and held the door open for my family member, who uses a wheelchair. The food was good— we got some classic bar food sides like fries and cheese curds, plus a gyro which was excellent. The music was fa...

👍👍 Best food on the island and one of the top restaurants in the US!! We came once last July and had to come back as my birthday request. And now came back for an 3rd and amazing time. Absolutely beyond in flavors, presentation and cocktail pairings! Every food piece was perfection. Would 10/10 recomme...

Irish pub
👍 Went for Paddy's day and it was cash only because they just opened. Their specials were a little high but all in all it was a good experience. Really nice bartender. I do understand that they were busy because it was the drinking holiday, but how they poured the Guinness made me cringe. Gotta take y...

Restaurant
👍👍 I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere here; everything was so refined and beautiful, with every detail perfectly matched. Of course, this place positions itself as a cocktail bar, so you shouldn't expect anything else. If you're hungry and on a tight budget, I wouldn't recommend coming here, as the po...

Hamada General Store
Restaurant
👍 Had high hopes for this place since they were the magic behind the former Home Bar & Grill, but my first visit was a little bit of a let down. I'm not worried though. They literally just opened so I think they are still working out the kinks. Got the Wafu Hamburger Steak (5 oz. Burger Patty, Tsukemo...

Paniolo Bar & Cafe
Bar
😠 Staff was rude and not paying attention to certain customers. They also were not serving any food due to their toaster not working. It's a very small place and I had to ask to pay twice. The coffee was underwhelming, and I had to listen to the workers swearing every two seconds. Overall, the environ...

👍 Nice atmosphere, wish there was a DJ, maybe a better label for drink size, didn't expect the drink to be shared so we had to finish all of the drinks we ordered. I was hoping a open mic for karaoke too

👍👍 One of the few places close to Waikiki where one can still enjoy a cigar, an adult beverage, and watch sports (on one of their several TVs). Lots of parking. This open air bar has plenty of shelter from the sun, pleasant staff, and great ashtrays. If you are a cigar smoker, I highly recommend that y...

🫤 A huge disappointment. This was the worst speakeasy we've ever been too. This place is so boring. There's nothing exciting about the place or the food. The portions are so tiny and the prices are so high. I usually don't mind inflated prices if the place is worth it, but this isn't. They crammed eve...
