“This bar is so cute. Tucked away in the Stix Asia food hall. It’s a nice place to stop for a drink in away from the hustle and bustle of the Waikiki strip. Make sure to try their gyoza and I can’t remember the name of it but the cocktail I had was something with Hali vodka and midori was so good. Also they validate parking “
“This place feels like being at a party. Great food and hospitality! They made me and my wife feel so special. Try the shrimp bruschetta and the Hawaiian bacon with corn salsa. And have a Sous Vide Old Fasioned. If you're staying at the Ala Moana Hotel, it is a must visit.“

“THE whiskey and gin distillery on Oahu, quietly settled among picturesque hills. You don't have to do the tour, but a flight might help: moonshine, whiskey, and two gins. Not a big fan of the whiskey (woodsy but young), but enjoyed the others. They also have local beer and snacks, plus plenty of gift sets/ideas. Veteran business of the year, with artwork from another popular local veteran.“
“This place is a diamond in the rough as I wouldn't have expected to find such a well-stocked whiskey bar attached to a bowling alley. Not only do they have a great variety of whiskeys, they also have an excellent selection of tequilas. The bartender and waitress checked on me and my buddies frequently enough that our glasses and bellies remained full but not so much that they were a nuisance. The menu contained a wide variety of delicious bar food; we had bao buns with pork, kal-bi, onion rings, and kalua pig nachos. All in all this is a great place to hang out, drink great whiskey, eat good food, and even get in a game or darts or pool.“
“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.“
