Great speakeasy hidden bar in Honolulu. During this visit wanted to find a couple of hidden bars. This one was fun and fit the bill as hard to find! Other reviewers have said where it is. I found finding the phone number to make a reservation a challenge! Once connected they texted the reservation link. Once confirmed they texted the instructions. For us we entered through a vending machine. (Based on other reviews I assume they change the “front” of the door occasionally. Cocktails were excellent!

You would think that is pretty niche, but the appeal is wide. Love the cocktail list.... Split between taste type (savoury, bitter, sweet, etc...) as well as some lovely mocktails. The tapas style small plates are all fabulous. Small menu but well considered. Pretty much vegan heaven. Others have already described how to get here... it is about a 25 minute walk from downtown Waikiki, and only 10 minutes walk from Ala Moana. Reservations are a must, and I recommend solo travellers to book a spot on the bar tables, which are more convivial. The bartenders are friendly and will chat with you. l enjoyed it so much...

Wonderful experience at Wild Orange. Friendly staff and great drinks. The food is vegan but you would never know it. Cool place to visit and have a few drinks.

Wild Orange is hard to find and apparently mostly word-of-mouth. And only open Weds-Saturday evenings. But so so worth it. You enter through another venue, Brian's Social Club, that is also super-hard to find. We're talking no signage for either one on the street. Go up to the second floor parking above 24 Hour Fitness. Near the back is Brian's, which has concerts and a comedy show some times. Enter in there, and hidden behind a jukebox (you'll need a nickel, but you can get one from Brian's) is a door to this bar. It's funky. One wall of Bally's game machine backplates. A large orange tree. Neon graffiti. And a wide variety of locally-designed craft cocktails and appetitzers. All are amazing. It's only been open about a year. Yep, they opened DURING the pandemic. And pretty small. Maybe 12 bar seats and maybe ten small tables. It's a really great experience. My only gripe was the music - a bit heavy on the rap for me. But not too loud, so okay. Those cocktails? Some of them were designed BY the bartenders. They KNOW the local ingredients, and they know others. One, I can't recall the name, mixed a local plant and a local rum with Laphroig. OMG!!! So many depths!
