My bar is such a vibe ???♀️ My bf and I were in the search for fun, inclusive nightlight while staying in Kona. Found this place and we were so stoked it was karaoke night. The queens are talented and do amazing crowd work. We had such a blast and it was my bfs first lap dance ? This was truly the only place that was f’n fun on the island. I love the community, good music, the drinks were good, pool tables are free, plenty of room, nice outdoor patio, I loved all of the local conversationalist. Truly a night I’ll always remember ❤️?❤️?

We came for the drag show. We are vacationing from the San Francisco Bay area, and we're not sure what to expect from this local drag scene. We were blown away! The queens SLAYED!! Gorgeous and hilarious! In addition, while the drinks may not be "cheap," they are worth every penny. Behind the bar, Kevin whipped up the most delicious coconut Mai Tai's!!

Safe LGBT places are tough to come by and even more so in smaller, less traveled areas. Come check this place out. Run by two pillars of their communities, great atmosphere and stiff drinks.

The server in this bar is rude condescending and disrespectful. The thing is when you do is respect others you see shooting your self in the foot. On an island like this you have no idea who you hurt...

Came in to check out the bar and have a beer. First off a 15.00 dollar cover charge just because the bar brought in a DJ. Then order a beer and sitting at the bar and was only in my bar stool for 15 minutes and was told that I needed to get up that they were taking away the bar stools and if I wanted to sit on a stool I could sit out side in the rain. Kind of BS

Awful service! The bartender Kevin made me 2 very weak Mai-Tai drinks for $30. They didn't even have the 2-tone brown and orange look. Mypartner who normally doesn't even drink said that he didn't taste any rum in it either. I asked the bar tender Kevin if he made virgin drinks by mistake. I was shocked when he replied: "**** off" and "leave if you don't like it!" I regret I gave him a tip with my drinks. Very unprofessional, over the top, angry behavior that I got scared. We didn't order anything else and won't be back there again. No repeat business from us, unfortunately.

Bad bartender Kevin! Yelling loudly at and cursing the customers, saying: "**** off!" Wow!!! So unprofessional!! My partner asked him if he made virgin drinks by mistake because we didn't taste any alcohol in our Mai-Tai-s. Awful behavior. If you have to order a drink there, stick to a bottled beer to avoid interacting with Kevin. Sad.
This is such a fun spot in town! I love the music and the lights. Definitely going back!

My Bar is a lovely, peppy dive with the friendliest bartenders and clientele around. From the moment we walked in the door, we felt welcomed. It was a relief after we had walked over a mile to Ola Brew, found a single bartender trying to accommodate hoards of tourists, and just wanted to grab some drinks. My Bar is right across the street and serves Ola draft alongside an impressive bottle selection and bar bites like pizza or tenders. We had arrived a little after seven, but stuck around for the Sable Scities drag show at nine, which was a blast. They had an amazing Chinese Lion Dance show, in addition to Sable's risque humor and a guest dancer. It's not my usual scene, but we had an undeniably great time. The pizza wasn't revolutionary, but it was large and hit the spot. We went with the meat option, which came square cut and topped with sausage and cubed pepperoni, like you'd find on Digiornos. Perfect companion for our extended stay. As previously mentioned, there were lots of Ola draft options, including my favorite Kiawe Porter, the safe Maa Lager, and cider/seltzer options. I ventured to a gin and tonic, which was quite possibly the strongest call I've ever been served. I had to call it quits on the liquor after that, and the bartenders were incredibly understanding, and constantly refilled my cup of water throughout the show. Really next-level considerate service. The only tip I have is to make sure you have a transportation contingency plan. Ubers pretty much stopped running by the time the show was over around 11, so we had a nice walk back to Alii Drive. As a bonus, after our evening of bar food and drinks, the bill was far lower than I was expecting. Many thanks to all the good people that made our night fun, affordable, and memorable. I can't recommend My Bar enough.
