This hidden gem is great! I've been here a few times late at night and it's always packed. The one time I did come early, literally right when they opened, it was nice to grab a room with friends. The food is bar food but very affordable yet tasty. The workers are very attentive and make sure to monitor when you need something. As more of my friends trickled in, we moved to the main room to sing karaoke. The ambiance was nice and comforting. Everyone took turns singing and the shared atmosphere was great. I would highly recommend.

It’s one of the few Karaoke bars on island where you can either have a private booth or be in with the general public, singing, eating, and drinking while you take turn singing songs.Private Rooms are $40/hr & 60/hr depending on size and you pay $1 per song. Reservations are recommended. The hourly fee is waved as long as you and your group collectively spend money on food and drink as what the room is worth. Example: Group spends $200 on food and drink, you have 5 hrs or 3 hrs depending on the size of the room. You cannot bring your own food but you can bring your own desserts and cutlery. Volume for microphone and music can be controlled from the room.When singing with the General population, the songs are free. Only complaint about being in the public area is that the music is sometimes too loud.Bar and bartender are great. Wide selection of alcohol and the bartender knows how to make a good Ol’ Fashioned.Most importantly, music catalog. It’s an encyclopedia of decades of music and every genre. There’s even a section dedicated to Hawaiian music.Theres only about 10 parking spots so prepared to either park in the surrounding neighborhood or Uber/Lyft.

Great spot. Met up with a few friends and was pleasantly surprised. Clean. Good food. Good drinks. Karaoke. Chill vibe. Will definately be back.
My new go to local bar. A bartender that knows me and is awesome. A server that I've known for a long time who's also awesome. Running into old friends. Food is bar solid. It's a 5 to 10 minute Uber ride away depending on how crazy fast your driver goes. Wall to wall karaoke. Some good singers. Wednesday is my night.

I remember coming here a while ago and came back a few times now with a surfing buddy who occasionally comes here. It has that same cozy charm that I remembered.

Participated in several Happy Hour Karaoke UYEs at Blue Ribbon Bar & Grill in McCully, so it's about time for a review! Located on makai side of King Street past Hau'oli Street, if you get to Pumehana Street, you went to far. There are a small amount of stalls in front of BRBG, watch out for the reserved stalls. If the business tied to the reserved stalls is closed for the day, you can use them. There is street parking available on King St after 6:30 pm. BRBG is an older small neighborhood bar. Walking in, you go directly into the main area with a good amount of tables. The first time we went, we were nearly the only ones in the bar. The second time we went (on the same night a week later), there were several other groups and it felt relatively crowded. There are also several private rooms for about 8-10 people that are available. Happy Hour is 5-7 pm everyday. There are 9 HH food items, $.50 off select bottled beers, and $5 beers & well drinks. We started with HH food and added one or two food special or regular food items. Impressions: HH Agedashi Tofu. Light breaded, deep fried, and served with a soy dashi sauce and daikon- very good, will repeat! HH Cold Tofu. A generous amount of tofu with a soy sesame oil drizzle, with ginger & green onions. More neutral tasting than the agedashi. HH Edamame. Nothing fantastic, but a good item to start. HH Tater Tots. Nothing fantastic but good, will repeat. HH French Fries. Crinkle cut, Nothing fantastic. HH Kalua Pork Quesadilla. A decent sized quesadilla layered with kalua pork, very good, will repeat! HH Karaage Chicken. Probably my favorite! A good amount of boneless chicken, deep fried. Excellent, will repeat! HH Seafood Pancake. Decent sized and full of calamari. You should get one of the two pancakes! Very good, will repeat! HH Kim Chee Pancake. Decent sized and full of kim chee. You should get one of the two pancakes! Very good, will repeat! Food Specials: Spring Rolls w/Chili Sauce. Decent taste, but a small amount, avoid. Local Style Fried Noodles. A good amount of noodles with luncheon meat & vegetables. Very good! Regular: Kalua Pork Nachos Supreme. Good amount with meats and veggies and decent taste, will repeat! Local Style Fried Rice w/Egg. A decent amount of fried rice with a good proportion of meats and vegetables, good! The karaoke is only $1/per song. I'm a terrible singer, and shy. Had to get a couple of bourbon shots in me before I tried one song. Yeep Mari T, in contrast, sings like an angel! Aunty Nadine C & Peter Y's buddy Ben fell somewhere between those two extremes. With tax and tips, total came up between $35-48, not bad. In the neighborhood, very good Happy Hour, reasonable karaoke, good food, decently priced drinks, and great friends- what more can you ask for? I think we found our new favorite karaoke bar! Recommend and will repeat!

This place is solid. Unassuming hole in the wall located in the urban core with a solid parking situation and delicious food. The auntie/ajumma cooking in the back briefly spoke with us and she absolutely runs a masterclass in cooking delicious local bar food. Ordered the kalua pig nachos, meat jun, Kim Chee pancake, Mando and fried noodles. All 10/10 solid. Rainbow soju was $$ and dangerous! Songs are $1...can't go wrong here. Try them out and support local!

Food, drinks and karaoke with your besties makes it a Blue Ribbon night!! They do open at 5 so I came earlier to check the place out with Nadine C and decided to get an early start on the happy hour and we had the Agedashi Tofu, Kalua Pig Quesadillas, and Onion Mushroom Cheeseburger with fries (On the specials menu), we loved it so much we had to thank the lovely lady who prepared it and made sure she knew it was delicious! Along with our meal we had some cocktail Watermelon Sugar Hi for her and Gin-Ger Berry for me...omg super strong as it took me all night to finish it, we both didn't care for our drinks though later in the night several of my groupies all enjoyed the Ume Chu-Hi...and drank it way too easy, we also tried several soju including POG and Guava super yummy! This places certainly doesn't give you the blues as it can cater to all right in the heart of McCully having basically the lot to it's own at night makes it a great place to gather to celebrate an occasion like what I was there for with a group of 20+ easily as we did reserve one of three private karaoke rooms available though it didn't fit all of us the introverts made themselves comfortable on one of many booths and tables in the main dining room. They do have happy hour from 5pm to 7pm but everything we tried was yummy and reasonably priced including the karaoke is $1 a song the singer in our group sang their hearts out joyfully all night long. We all had a blast as the staff there is super friendly and polite as we all had fun getting loud, the food came out wickedly fast it's a great quick late night hangout for the group or with just your bestie. :-) Thank you!
