Bartender was not nice. She was rude and yelled at us for taking a photo on the skooter. She said that it was her transportation to work, but we thought it was a prop because it was inside the bar. We meant know disrespect and she yelled at us and mocked us. We’re respectful people, she could have just asked us nicely to not take a picture of the scooter.Be nice and kind. We are just trying to enjoy our selves.

Last day on our vacation to Hawaii. Stopped by Smith's and found the PBR cold, the atmosphere excellent, and the bartender friendly. Everything we've come to expect from an outstanding Dive Bar. Will definitely visit again on our next trip.

For when you need that dive bar that's been around for a century. A good place to unwind. A Honolulu cult classic with history. Make sure to get an iconic t-shirt. Nothing fancy. Just decent drinks.

A great hole in the wall bar in Hotel Street with a history line no other. It's worth the visit!

If you need to get away from it all...this is the place to go. Not only do they not care, but they will help you forget what you were leaving in the first place! Honestly one of the best dive bars I have ever been to . It's what all dive bars should be. Honestly, most establishments should be like Smitty's.

Opens since 1930s, it was the bar where the officers and crew of the USS Arizona went until that fateful day, December 7, 1941. The bartender Shannon is like a walking history book about everything concerning the bar. We went to the bar just before noon and had an opportunity to talk with Shannon in length. Having a drink at the oldest bar in Honolulu was both a learning and also a humbling experience. There was so much photos and documents concerning the USS Arizona that was a real eye opener.

Absolutely loved here one drunken back in 2022. Flash forward a year and some change. Best dive bar on the island ?

Oldest active bar downtown est. 1934. This is also the official bar that supports the sailors who found at Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. The Bartenders are all Awesome. They have Karaoke and a juke box machine. They also have the cheapest beer in town. They have 2 styles of souvenir t-shirts for sale at $20.00 each. I’m so happy to be there I’ve gone down for the past 16 days in a row. Come down and join us. You’ll have fun and make a few memories ?
