About The Hidden Nēnē

The Hidden Nēnē is a speakeasy located in the middle of downtown Hilo. Despite being hidden, it offers a welcoming atmosphere with a solid drink menu featuring delicious and potent cocktails, including the BEST MAI TAI EVER. The vibe is cozy and dark, with good seating that creates an intimate setting for guests. The service is friendly and attentive, making it a great spot for a nightcap. Visitors enjoy the small, charming environment, which is reminiscent of an NYC 1935 movie, with a moody green decor, black and white floor tiles, and seating for just 35. The menu includes a variety of tapas, such as deviled eggs with a twist and stacked caprese, all prepared with great attention to detail. The award-winning Key Lime Pie drink is highly recommended, described as tasting like a dessert. The intimate setting has a large selection of cocktails, many of which can be made as mocktails. Guests appreciate the wonderful ambience with decor and music, and the knowledgeable staff can adjust drinks to be sweeter or tarter based on preferences. The live jazz band playing holiday music adds to the enjoyable experience. Whether for locals or tourists passing through, The Hidden Nēnē remains a hidden gem for those seeking a cozy, fun, and memorable night out, making their trip to the big island more special.
