Who needs therapy when you can visit Antique Alley. I stumbled along this place as I was grabbing some taco at Thyda's Tacos right on Queen St...the nostalgia with the items that's been collected over the years felt like I was going back in time, definitely unique with every corner has something a few that brought back memories. Not exactly know what an antique items are worth but know that items here are quite pricey I thought to browse around a bit hoping to find something special I just couldn't get myself to spend that type of money. Some of the items here are absolute treasures and am delighted to have someone who's aware of the history behind them and values its worth. It's almost like a treasure hunt as the element of surprise is just a short browse away, come take a look and get lost in the time warp. Thank you!

A rare antique store on Oahu in the Ward area. It's right across Whole Foods on Queen Street. A variety of trinkets

The owner, Pake, was extremely warm and welcoming. If you're into antiques and collectibles from A-Z he most likely has something you'd want. It's a hidden gem of a store where your business can really help support Pake and his wife. You don't come across cool nostalgic stores like theirs often. It's almost like walking into a series of American Pickers except Pake has items from all around the world. I will admit that the prices were a bit too much for my budget but Pake was still willing to talk history about items I was interested in and he even referred me to a place to purchase Japanese knives. Can't stress enough that this store and the owners are one of a kind. Keep supporting their local family business!!!

What a lovely shop with equally lovely owners. We were visiting from out of town and trying to find a small vintage hula girl for a family member. The owner was kind enough to point out what he had along with some history of each piece. He also was wanting to make sure whatever we got was exactly what the recipient wanted. It's a shop that is stuffed to the gills with things to dig and look through. I found a book from 1944 that i cannot find any additional information on, which is really intriguing to me. The pricing on some things might be a bit higher than people are expecting but it's all incredibly unique, old and different. I found plenty of things in my price range. Bonus was I lost my hat in the shop and came back the next day and they had found it on top of something in the back of the store. Great folks and happy to support a local business. If you want something unique to check out and enjoy thrifting, don't miss this spot. You will be glad you stopped by

lovely experience here. great humanly service. worth a visit! definitely an antique more than a thrift. lots of really cool items, some a bit steeper than my price range. could spend hours checking out all of the items here ended up buying a cool vintage lamp!

This is cute Kuromi bag that Antique Alley repurposed to hold the ring and earrings that I purchased.

I visited this place looking for antique jewelry and I was not disappointed. The owners were kind and welcoming. Provided information and gave me the space to browse comfortably. I found a beautiful sterling silver plumeria ring as well as a pair of pink clip-on earrings. But what really made me smile was the cute golden frog bank that I found. Did I have a "need" for a golden frog bank? No and yet everytime I look at it or use it, it makes me happy. The prices for the items that I bought were quite fair. *This store has a lot of items crammed in a very small space but it is neatly organized. Give yourself plenty of time to browse, you may actually find something that you will treasure.

Great place. Great people. A place where Aloha still lives. The place is like a treasure trove of stuff. I can't speak more highly of the owners. You can tell when someone loves what they do. They are what a community is made of.

"It's about the story they have or else they're just things." - Paké Zane, Antique Alley (Cultural Recycling) One of the best parts of my trip to Honolulu was stumbling upon Antique Alley. It felt like a museum in which every item is for sale. There is definitely countless treasures in this place, just need to take the time to look. I would highly recommend talking to Paké. He has great stories and will take the time to talk to you about each item that you're interested in.

What a fun place to kill time! This place is full of hidden gems and junk from your grandma's house! Who knew that someone's signed 1997 Punahou yearbook was worth some money?! There were lots of random old photos of Hawaii, toys, bottles, lighters...anything! You name it. It was fun to see and reminisce about your childhood. Kinda crowded so if you're claustrophobic I don't recommend going inside.

Does this place have beads and bones for crafts. (Bracelets, necklaces, earrings etc. ? Thanks in advance.

Aloha, Antique Alley is known to have a little bit of everything. We do have beads, some bones, and a lot of costume jewelry that can be reassembled. We have some "mummy beads" from Egypt, N. Kenyan ostrich egg beads and some vintage "trade…

It's amazing that a place like this even exists on Oahu and I'm so glad that it's here, because I…read morefelt like I stepped into the old Bone Room when it was on Solano Avenue in Berkeley, California. The Bone Room sold many fine items, like Gothic Alchemy jewelry, bug specimens, home decor, minerals and rocks, antiques and incense; Hound and Quail has all that except the Gothic Alchemy jewelry and human/animal bones. They do have some taxidermy, antler horns and a hanging (fake) skeleton, which caught my eye and lured me into the store. As soon as you step into the store, you feel like I entered a portal into a past time where old Victrolas ruled, steam trunks were the "in" luggage, men's swim suits looked like women's, when skeleton keys actually worked, and when people had to actually write letters and wait for a reply! If I were on Instagram, I'd tag this store with the following words: magical, curated goods, historical goods, household decor, old, antique, men's, taxidermy, leather, man cave. I actually did not want to leave. I wanted to stay there all day, and even possibly the next day and maybe the day after that. One of the owners, Mark, was super nice and attentive and genuinely happy that I was enjoying their taste in curated goods. It's pretty epic, you gotta go check it out yourself! I parked in the Chinatown Municipal Parking on Bethel Street and it was pretty cheap at 50 cents an hour on a Saturday.

A delightful cabinet of curiosities, Hound & Quail is a charming shop of carefully curated gifts,…read morecards, art, stuffed animals, bugs in lucite and so much more. There is some serious attention to detail going on here and items in price points that will appeal to everyone. If you're interested in decor or gifts that run...shall we say...far left of center...then this is the place for you.

Wonderful, locally owned & operated business that offers an amazing variety of items with some…read moreunbelievably great deals on one-of-a-kind treasures. This auction house carries EVERYTHING, from local Hawaii estates (usually 2 to 4 estates per auction) to art from local collectors & museums. WARNING: THESE AUCTIONS ARE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE. Where else can you find a handwritten letter from King Kamehameha V to John Dominis, original paintings & prints by Jean Charlot, Madge Tennant, antique & contemporary furniture, an 18" Hawaiian koa outrigger canoe, a vintage 1960's Easy Bake Oven in the original box & a set of carpentry tools; all under one roof? They sell housewares from fine china by Lenox & handblown crystal stemware, antique tea cup collections, plus everyday use stoneware & glassware sets. I bought an entire rosewood living room suit - Ming-era style, carved with Chinese prosperity symbols, consisting of a 3 seat couch & two chairs (with custom-fitted cushions), 2 footstools, a large coffee table & 7' long credenza, all carved rosewood with custom cut glass tops on the coffee table & credenza; all in excellent, like-new condition for ONLY SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS ($600) - that's 1/10th the original cost. The matching solid rosewood dining table with 10 chairs sold to someone else for $600. They sell estate jewelry, everything from vintage affordable costume pieces to high-end quality gems & fine jewelry designs, to antiques watches & wall clocks. It's a family run business with a small full-time staff & a large group of family & friends who volunteer to help out during auctions. Wendy McClain, the owner, conducts the auctions herself & is tireless. There are no upset prices, but some people think that means they can offer $20 for something worth $20,000. Be warned - Wendy does not suffer fools lightly. People who repeatedly shout out ridiculously low offers find themselves invited up on stage to find out just how "easy" it is by auctioning one or two items themselves. I discovered McClain's a couple of years ago & now I attend almost every auction (they hold one about every month), partly to keep an eye out for undervalued treasures, partly to socialize with other regulars, who include local celebrities. I've also used their services to trade up - selling some of my older furniture & art when I've seen something that better suits me become available. There is a showing every Friday before the Saturday auction from noon to 6 pm, and fro 8 to 10 am on Saturday, with the auction starting at or shortly after 10 am. The auctions are attended by dealers & private collectors buying for themselves in addition to some very nice, genuinely helpful people, so take any advice or information you get with a grain of salt & take notes to do your own research at home the night before the auction, or bring your smartphone or tablet/iPad & look up comps on site. The staff & volunteers are helpful & friendly, but none of them claim to be experts, so be prepared to do your own research. McClain's used to be located in Gentry Center, but about a year ago they moved to 780 S. Beretania Street, directly across from HPD headquarters. There is no on-site parking, but there are metered stalls along Beretania & the side streets, and the metered stalls in the municipal lots (ewa makai corner of S Beretania & Alapai) are free on Saturdays. It's a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

I bid two auction lots Sunday afternoon and scheduled pickup for Tuesday after 1 PM. The figurine…read morewas flawless; only Lot #538 Chinese birdcage had severe undisclosed damage. The online listing contained zero photos or notes of the cage's split, partially missing front door. I trusted the auction's professional listing service, which comes with a mandatory 15% buyer's premium meant to cover full pre-sale condition disclosures. I would never have bid if the major breakage had been shared upfront. Upon pickup, I was shocked to find the cage door broken clean in half. Staff confirmed internal archive photos proved the damage existed long before the auction went live. I stayed calm and polite the entire time, no loud outbursts or scene-making. I respect the owners as acquaintances and understand all businesses face hardships, so I approached the issue reasonably without overreacting. I simply asked why the critical damage was hidden and requested to reject the defective cage--this broken piece holds no value to me, and the omission was entirely their error. Owner Wendy confronted me angrily and rudely. She claimed she did not take listing photos and insisted her staff described the item fully to their knowledge, then blamed me entirely for failing to inspect in person pre-bidding. To make matters worse, she dismissively said the split door was not severe damage and I could simply glue it myself. I was stunned by this careless, unprofessional remark from a business owner. It is baffling why they intentionally concealed obvious structural damage just to sell a faulty cage for a $75 bid plus the 15% premium. This whole situation is ridiculous; it feels they actively misled a long-term loyal customer of 15-20 years who trusted their business, and I ended up falling victim to this lack of transparency. They shift all accountability for their incomplete listings onto buyers while acting entirely blameless and painting me as the problematic party. Their defensive, hostile attitude makes their operation appear unethical and unfair to consumers. Despite collecting a steep buyer's fee, they refuse to take responsibility for their failure to disclose major pre-existing defects and offered zero resolution or remedy. I formally dispute the 15% premium charged for Lot #538 and contest the misrepresented damaged item sale. I question two core standards: 1. Does the mandatory 15% buyer's premium oblige the auction to fully disclose all known major structural damage to listed goods? ​ 2. Is the auction permitted to hide prominent pre-existing flaws to complete sales, passing all risk to buyers with no recourse? Pre-auction in-person viewing is optional, yet no visual or written clues of the broken door appeared online. It is disappointing this local Hawaiian business disregards honest customer practices and exploits trusting long-time patrons. I share this review to warn other collectors and online bidders of their lack of transparency and confrontational customer service.
