“This has been our go to brunch spot for the last several years. The food is amazing - the Oscar Benedict (crab/corned beef) is one of our favorites! The coffee w/cookies and especially having the milk/cream warmed is the perfect way to start the day. The peaceful atmosphere with its view of the blue ocean and Fort DeRussy park makes this a truly special place. Most of all, the staff is amazing… Summer, Feliciana, Chris, everyone! They have truly imbued the spirit of Aloha.“

“Bar Leather Apron is easily one of Honolulu's most exceptional cocktail experiences—a place where precision, creativity, and genuine hospitality all come together seamlessly. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the care and craft behind every detail, and that feeling only deepens as the night goes on. The cocktails alone are worth planning an evening around. In the Soul is a standout—balanced, expressive, and layered in a way that unfolds sip after sip. The Japan is elegant and refined, a beautiful reflection of the bar's deep respect for Japanese technique. The Matcha is both comforting and complex, with its velvety texture and earthy aroma, while the Sagano Smoke adds a dramatic flair, weaving smokiness and subtle sweetness into something unforgettable. And if you prefer something more delicate, the Fruity & Floral is bright, aromatic, and wonderfully refreshing. But the surprises don't end with the drinks. The Brioche with pizza butter is an absolute revelation—warm, soft, and perfectly indulgent. It's the kind of bite that makes you stop mid-conversation just to appreciate how unexpectedly incredible something so simple can be. What elevates the entire experience, though, is the service. Scotty is phenomenal—attentive, personable, and clearly passionate about the craft. And co-owner Jason sets the tone with his expertise and warm, welcoming presence. Together, they create a space that feels refined yet relaxed, where every guest is treated with genuine care. Bar Leather Apron isn't just a bar—it's a world-class cocktail destination. Whether you're a dedicated spirits enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable night out in Honolulu, this is the place that will exceed every expectation. This is easily a must on my list for all future trips to Oahu.“

“I go here to have a beer right before, or after class to hang out with friends because how close it is to HCC, the bartender always ask you if you want a snack with your drink free of charge, and the food is great, alot of good times in this bar.“

“Located on the 2nd floor of Waikiki Shopping Plaza. I went there at the end of September 2024, and it was empty and quiet. Drinks include sweet latte, mocha, and tea. The restroom was outside the store. You can apply for tours etc. There were 3-4 operators at the counter. I was curious about the $40 bill for a taxi from my hotel in Waikiki to the airport, but I had already booked it elsewhere, so I didn't use it. Although it was smaller than Rakuten Lounge, it was a good place to take a break.“

“Had a nice atmosphere and ran into a friend who happened to be the pool table holder upon my friend and I arriving. And we were fortunate to be able to play numerous racks even though there were over 2 dozen people enjoying the reggae music and socializing with eachother. And since playing pool was the mission. We nailed the mission in short order!“

“I’ve been here multiple times with my family and it’s always been a great experience. Tasty drink drinks great service and good music and vibes plus EP are my initials lol. Not much seating so if it’s a Friday or the weekend, I’d make reservation reservations.“

“We enjoyed our first visit so much, we came back just two days later for an encore. Over the two meals, we sampled at least ten dishes. Phenomenol creativity, presentation and flavor, one after the other. I will have a hard time identifying a favorite but let’s go with Yuzu Chicken and Beef Loco Moco. The seafood was just as wonderful. It’s not down at street level, so make sure you find your way up the stairs, and prepare yourself for a distinctive food journey you won’t forget.“

“Perfect place for pupus and drinks before hitting up Republik for concert nights and hitting up District for clubbing & salsa nights“

“Thank you very much for your help during my stay in Hawaii.
Overseas, there are no places where you can relax because you can't speak Japanese, but this is a place where you can feel at ease because the Japanese staff will help you.

Rakuten card holders can take a one-hour break at this facility.
When you visit for the first time, you will receive wet tissues that you will need in Hawaii.

In addition to receiving one can of beverage, you can also purchase one drink from the coffee maker.
In addition, there are restrooms, Wi-Fi, a massage chair that I didn't use, and a play area for young children.

The same facility is also available at Ala Moana Center, but the differences are as follows.

・The International Marketplace store is about twice as spacious.
・The International Marketplace store has more types of drinks that can be brewed with a coffee maker, and cold drinks are also available.“

“Excellent food, had the brie appetizer and catch of the day, blackened monchong. Staff recommend wine to pair with dinner and Taylor-tini were perfect. Chef Nathaniel clearly enjoys creating his dishes which are extremely delicious. Highly recommend!“

“✨ Amazing Dining Experience! ✨ From start to finish, everything was absolutely incredible. The food was delicious, the service was wonderful, and the ambience was beautiful — the perfect combination for a great girls night out. We started with the escargot and the ahi appetizers, and both were outstanding. The sauces paired with the light crunchiness made each bite a perfect blend of flavor and texture. For the entrée, we had the macadamia nut–crusted mahi, and seafood medley which was cooked perfectly. The crust added the right amount of crunch, and the sauce tied everything together so well. Dessert was the apple Dutch pie, and it ended the meal on the sweetest, most satisfying note. The cocktails were also on point — they paired perfectly with all our dishes. A special mention to our waitress, who took such great care of us. She checked on us throughout the meal and made sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend! Will definitely be back. 🌺🍽️✨“
