They play vinyl records which is awesome. Monday is hawaiian night. The drinks are pricey but they have a good selection. The old fashioned has a coffee liquor which kicks it up a level. Definitely worth the try.

A fun, hipster bar - especially perfect for audiophiles. Ambiance: This bar is definitely a "chill" spot. The lighting, interior, and song choices were all a 10/10. Drinks: My friends commented that the drinks were creative, delicious, and worth the wait. I would expect to spend around $30-50 per person if you were to order a few drinks and snacks. Parking: Since this spot is located in Chinatown/Downtown, parking is a little tricky. If street parking is not an option, the municipal lot is nearby with parking being a a few dollars. There is also a lot next to the restaurant, but parking prices I believe, are just under $10.

Ever since Covid hit I hadn't really gotten out. But man was I missing out! My friends and I went to EP bar for some drinks and they were awesome! I had the matcha IPA which packed a punch, I should've paced myself haha. My friend said they all enjoyed their drinks as well. Although a rather small bar, it was an awesome atmosphere felling very homey. The staff there were excellent and service was the best I've had in a while. I parked at Marks garage but this spot is in walking distance from majority of the municipal lots downtown. Highly recommend checking out EP bar but MAKE RESERVATIONS!

This place is great! Atmosphere is chill, the ambiance is very charming, and the staffs are friendly. Amazing cocktails and selections of alcohol. The staffs are hospitable and attentive to our needs. They didn't let me down when asked for their recommendations. The aesthetic of this place is impeccable and the vibe here is just awesome. The DJ was great! All in all, I recommend this place.

Came here on a Monday for mele Monday for some drinks with the boys. The staff was 5/5 and the dj was also great. Bunch of drinks and pupus were ordered. One spot I am coming back to for sure. They also take reservations so make sure to use that to your advantage!

We came in on a last minute reservation(30 minutes prior) and had an amazing night. What originally was one or two drinks turned out to us closing out the bar. We were greeted by amazing service but I forget her name, but she led us to a table. We soon after moved to the bar so we could see the DJ doin his thing on the vinyls. Great choice because the bartender, Tyler, was there to help us choose Amazing cocktails and provide bomb service! The music was amazing, the beef jerky was UNREAL, and the drinks had us coming back for more!

Absolutely obsessed! Came here on Valentine's day for drinks before dinner and everything from the ambience, the interior, the drinks, etc. is what I would look for! Their menu has a variety of crafted drinks -- has really great twists to the classics and include interesting ingredients including black sesame in their manhattans or Vietnamese coffee in in their coffee-tinis. We got 1 of their valentine's day special and 2 of their regular menu items. The valentine's special "My Boo" had Tanqueray, Nigori Sake, Strawberry, Lychee, and Yuzu. Very smooth and with good balance of sweetness, slight tartness from the Yuzu. We also ordered the Luminescent dreams which has a culmination of creamy sweetness from Melona flavors mixed with a tartness from the Lime -- has a beautiful effervescent type of glow that makes it fun to drink! Finally the Oolong-Passion which was our favorite was a very light, not overly sweet; a good passion fruit base mixed with rum and flavors are balanced with the Oolong tea that tops it off. Will return for this drink alone! The ambience is what I expect from any trendy upscale-ish (but not too posh) bar from LA or SF. Dim lighting with backlit shelves of alcohol; also has a huge display of various records which I believe you can also look through or request for specific record to play. Interior was clean, about 4 high top tables and then the bar seating. Perfect for an intimate gathering. Note, they don't serve food -- purely drinks. We went early, around 5PM and it was just us and the bartender which made it a really nice and intimate setting. Parking: There are various street parking/lots/municipal parking lots however I would just uber or get dropped off so you can order and enjoy your drinks!
Good drinks and service. They have 4 tables, but some bar seating. No food. Glad I came.

Super chill! Good music! I swear even if the food or drinks suck if the vibes are good, we're staying!! But we loved our drinks! Our first round was delicious but the second round was not that great. I totally forgot what the name of the drinks were. We had reservations but we came here on a weekday so we got seated right away. Looking on yelp there are not that many bars that looked appealing to us so we were happy to find this spot. I can't wait to back to this place when we're back in town!

excellent bar! super intimate vibe, i had the oolong drink and gf had the luminescent dream. both were amazing and perfect if you don't enjoy super spirit forward drinks. our drinks got served super quick as well due to the low population. all around awesome 10/10 fr.

Such a cool bar with awesome cocktails but tried to walk in at 10pm on a Wednesday and they said that last call had already happened. And the guy still gave an attitude "read the closed sign at the door", same sign that points they close at 11pm and not at 10pm. Like I work on service industry and i get slow shifts sucks but if you close at 11pm you close at 11pm and no need for the attitude. Wish this was the 1st time it happened but unfortunately at this moment something similar happened at least 5 times

This bar was one of the highlights of my time on Oahu. I loved the ambiance and music from the live DJ. The decor and layout was very aesthetic. The space was small but I personally like a more intimate setting. All their drinks were very creative and well-made. Saved this spot in my favorites!
Great bar!The drink is good, atmosphere is also good! Furthermore the music was Japanese 90s and 00s!!
