DJ won’t play what you request. Told him we wanted country and he said he didn’t like it although a good DJ will mix it in regardless so basically DJ plays what he wants and isn’t that great. I’ve heard multiple dope DJs who could mix country in and it was well liked. Basically not the best

Never thought of visiting Sessions, assumed it was Porky's 2.0... Man, was I off. It's a true pub & an amazing, intimate music venue. Ross & Frankie know their bartending craft. It is now a destination for me.

Met some great people here! They offered some late night munchies of chicken tenders and fries. You could download TouchTunes and purchase credits to also play your own tunes! There's a pool table next to the bar and a lounge area in the room next door. Occasionally, this place also has live performances on their mini stages Ample street parking on Saturday night.

Sessions was great..Me and my cousin decided to drop by on a Thursday. Really friendly Bartenders (sorry i cannot recall the guys name or the girl that came later)..Shyne (sorry i probably mangled that) is the one we had the most interactions with and she was awesome. It was her first day but you couldnt tell that from her perfomance..very professional and on it. You would think she was working there for years..All the bartenders had great interactions with the customers and it just felt like one large party where everyone knew each other. I had gone there when it first opened and honestly i did not have a great expereince. They have come a long way and i can easily say if you are in Kailua stop in and have a few or in my case way more than a few lol. They have live music as well. Check em out.

Well.... I was the only one in there during football so the bartender was quite attentive. I asked about drink specials during the game and he mentioned Bloody Mary so I ordered one not knowing the price.$18 for a Bloody and beer chaser! NOT SPECIAL to me! I told him this is not Waikiki! I will not be going back unless someone else is buying.They also advertise LIVE MUSIC every night. Not even close to true.

If you go here and use a credit card, CHECK YOUR STATEMENT. I've been a few times and extra charges mysteriously appeared on my bill. Just beware.
I'm not sure why more people don't go here. It's a fun little

Great bar staff, always quick and serving with a smile. I want to especially mention the bartenders on 8/26 Sat night with the 90s crowd. They stayed professional all night, remembered peoples names, drinks and had great attitudes all the way till the end.Sessions has great drinks, events and live music, it’s clean, inviting, innovative and just what Kailua needs.

I was pleasantly surprised the first time I walked in and saw the remodel. Kailua now has a Bar and Lounge that you used to have to go into town to get that atmosphere. Stand up comedy from Comedy Squared has a different lineup every Wednesday for only $10 and the BBQ from Whiskey Smoke is amazing. I'm surprised more people didn't take advantage of the happy hour that runs from 4-7 but it's still new and I'm sure it will catch on. The staff has been amazing and I heard more renovations are still in the works.Parking: Street parking is free after 6
