Waikiki Nightlife

Oahu has so much natural beauty, yummy food and international shopping to offer, but it also has a very fun, laid-back nightlife scene. From dive bars to clubs to good ole’ entertainment, here’s a few favorite spots us locals enjoy year-round:

Mai Tai Bar
Mai Tai Bar at Ala Moana Center – an awesome local spot for live music, pau hana (happy hour) and having a great time! On the third floor of Ala Moana Center by California Pizza Kitchen.
Kelly O’neills
Kelly O’neills on Lewers St – fun, crazy, loud irish pub with live music almost every night. It’s also open till 4!
Suzie Wong’s Hideaway
Suzie Wong’s Hideaway in Waikiki – the best dive/tiki bar ever (in my personal opinion!) We love going to this place with friends and visitors.
Arnold’s in Waikiki
Arnold’s in Waikiki – best possible place to start your night! It’s always a good time, cheap drinks, and full of down to earth locals.
Bar 35
Bar 35 in Chinatown – has a great outdoor area way in the back (to the left).
Duck Butt
Duck Butt in Kakaako – great pupus, drink specials, and karaoke! You only need 8-10 people for a free private room – just call ahead of time to reserve.
Hawaiian Brian’s
Hawaiian Brian’s on Kapiolani – a big, weird space with tons of pool tables and live music every night.
Nocturna
Nocturna on Ala Moana Blvd – right next to the M. It’s weird, but it’s a bar/gamer’s paradise with free games and giant screens
