The Hidden Nēnē Reviews
Beautifully crafted cocktails and pupus. The ambiance is lovely with posh seating, fresh orchids, and even a few wild wall fixtures to spark conversations and photo ops
The happy hour drinks are particularly good, as well as the other few I tried
We went to the Hidden Nene with a group of friends. We all had different drinks from the happy hour menu and all the drinks were delicious. There were several other groups so the atmosphere was lively and loud which was ok with me but if you're looking for somewhere quiet this is not for you. The drinks where creative and the service was excellent even though it was busy. We didn't order food since we had just had dinner but they do offer a wide selection to make your own charcuterie...read full review

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.
