Always the best. I come to Honolulu just for the drinks and to hear Tommy James play.

Great music and gifted musicians. Great atmosphere. It was a place of refuge and comfort while visiting my ailing cousin in the hospital. A true G-dsend. I always was alone.

Overall 9.5/10
Lowers Lounge consistently delivers one of the best cocktail experience in Hawaii, bar none.
Location: 9/10 Located in the heart of Waikiki, Hale Kulani is easily accessible with friendly valet service. It's also a short walk from the entrance.
Ambiance: 10/10 It doesn't get better than this. A quiet, elegant live Jazz bar gorgeous decor and perfect lighting. The smoky vocals are only matched in smoothness by the smoke rings cocktail.
Seating: 8.5/10 With bar, table, booth and chair seating, Lewers Lounge offers a nice, comfortable environment. Unfortunately not all seats give a view of the live jazz, but a majority do. Make sure to either show up early if you want good seats. The music starts at 830pm, but doors open at 7.
Drinks: 9/10 $24 for a premium, artisan crafted cocktail in Waikiki is a steal! In a town where bottle beer costs between $8 and $16, these drinks are an amazing value. The Smoke Rings drink is a solid entry if you enjoy an old fashioned. It wasn't the best smoke infused cocktail I've had, but it was very good. My wife's The Very Thought of You is their take on an espresso martini. She didn't like the squeeze of lemon they finish it off with, while I love it. Other than that, it was another strong effort. We've never had a bad drink here.
Food: N/A Since they only offer light food options, we usually go to dinner after our drinks. The free mixed nuts they offer, however, are warm and slightly toasted. They are fantastic!

The musician (solo pianist) is a Cat. If you're interested in music you should get as close to "stage" as possible, the chatter gets pretty loud in there

This was my first time here. Definitely an old-school piano bar atmosphere. However, the service was a bit slow for my tastes. The server didn't check in with us enough -on more than one occasion I had to flag someone down -the pupas were just regular for me. For the same price, there are better food options around the city. My concern is the inconsistency. There was a lovely production with the pouring and presenting the first glass of wine. However, when you order a subsequent glass, you don't see them pour it from the bottle. And I noticed right away that after the first sips that it was a different wine from the first wine I had, despite being told that it indeed came from the same bottle. That might work with people whose palate is not as sensitive as mine but I know that was a different wine. That first glass was lovely though! Typically my friend and I like to order a bottle of wine however, this didn't appear to be an option at this establishment. Only glasses were offered. And the price was $2 different on my recipe per glass than on the menu. Best things for me were the musicians and the ambience.
Swanky Intimate Jazz bar. Service is fine, if a bit stiff. The 2 piece band ( piano and horns), were excellent. The first gentleman with the guitar was also very good. Beautiful hotel. Right on the Ocean. Expensive. Very adult.

Lewers Lounge was a bit too swanky for me but I did enjoy the atmosphere and the jazz performances. It’s a bit pricey for the average person. The menu was small bite items. I had the charcuterie. The cocktails were good. Why is it so hard to find a pisco sour?

This place was a great find and a badly needed change for me after drinking margaritas on the beach for 4 days. They have a great selection of cocktails and the bartender knew how to make them well. The vibe was great: dim lights, comfortable sofas and chairs and live acoustic music (they take requests!) from about 5:30 to 8. The jazz band takes over after that. They do have a dress code "no flip-flops or shorts" policy which was also nice.
