Whiskey Bars near Honolulu, HI

“This was easily my favorite bar on the island.

They specialize in highballs, and the current menu is a full-on Chinatown tribute—local ingredients, bold flavors, no shortcuts. Everything about this place hits. Smooth vinyl spinning 😎, a space that actually feels intentional instead of thrown together… you can tell the owner cares about the experience, not just the drinks.

I had three cocktails—all of them balanced, creative, and dialed in.
The Mango Sticky Rice cocktail? Different level 🥰 I had it twice… so yeah, technically four drinks.

No regrets.“

“Great food and friendly service. I love this place!“

“I met 3 friends for dinner here last night. We each ordered a sandwich or a burger. I ordered the BLT b/c they offered to substitute the bacon with avocado. But then they were out of avocados. No big deal, the LT on sourdough was good. More vegetarian options on the menu would be nice. It was a bit loud by the bar, so I'd recommend asking for a table away from it. Overall, the value was decent. It seems like a Honolulu dinner out with a mocktail these days costs about $40/person, and that tracked here.“

“I have been to this bar twice and both times have been an amazing experience. The second time I went I had many questions about recommendations on a type of sake and Michael was able to make sure I had the best intel on sake because he was super knowledgeable on everything they sold! I had an amazing experience and recommend to all others. Thank you Michael!“
