    Happy National Pizza Day!
    Michael K.

    This place used to be at the top of my list. It still is, but after my last couple of visits, it's now sadly at the top of my Do Not Recommend list. Roll back the clock 10 years and this place was king! It was the place to go for pau hana and also late night shenanigans. I've had many good nights at Bar35 and remember it often having a long line to get it. Fast forward to 2024 and I feel it has achieved true dive bar status. This is very sad. I'm disappointed to see this and will not be back. I really don't know what went wrong here? Is it COVID that ruined them? Is it the lack of motivated staff, a problem that seems to be plaguing the service industry work force everywhere. Whatever it is, you won't find me in this shady area of downtown on a Friday night again.

    Worst security guard ever
    Chet C.

    Worst customer service ever. I presented my Drivers License and the door guard kept it asking for another ID. When I asked why he said there was something odd. He then got incredibly aggressive with other patrons saying that we were too close to his butt and he had a hundred things going on right now. Eventually his boss came and said there was no issue with my state issued drivers license. I will never visit this place again with this person working security. Pure incompetence.

    I went there for the first Friday during happy hour. We sat in the back area with colorful umbrellas giving us nice shades and gotta love the comfortable couches. The drinks were cheap and good, especially the lychee martini! The foods were very good as well. Also enjoyed the standard jazz they were playing. Bartenders and servers were friendly and the service was fast.

    Bar35 is a whole vibe. I came in the on a Saturday night during Happy Hour and they offer amazing deals on drinks. I have yet to try their food but I definitely will next time. My favorite cocktail was Miss Chinatown. Shoutout to the bartender for being so sweet.

    Friendly and knowledgeable staff here to help you decide on their vast beer and drink selections. Look on the wall, and it's quite a selection of interesting canned/bottled beers. They even have beers on draft. Full bar. They have refurbished some areas inside and also out on their back patio. Their resident pizza owner has changed. New food menu. The pizza has a thicker crust vs. what they had before. They have a bouncer outside so make sure to have your ID on you.

    I can't tell you how many times I've been to Bar 35 and somehow it's escaped a review. I love this place and am glad to see it survived the pandemic relatively unchanged (if not better). Located in Chinatown on Hotel Street, it's a great stop on a pub crawl or exploration of the area. The bright sign beckons you in; friendly bouncers and staff are welcoming to sit down and stay a while. The inside is exposed brick, high ceilings, and is kept dark to enjoy the ambience and fun conversation with friends. I love these old buildings and how they've been repurposed for a modern crown. The main room has a long bar along the left wall with various seating arrangements on the left. At the back right are private booth areas for groups, I assume they take reservations for these for parties. Beyond that are numerous restrooms (most reserved for those identifying as women), then the kitchen and walkway to the best part - the outdoor seating area. Under the stars of Honolulu, you can enjoy the fresh night air in large shared couch areas, plus smaller two-seaters, standing room, and the outdoor bar top. They have a huge selection of beers; you can order anything you'd like indoor or outdoor. Plus mixed drinks and wine, there's something for everyone. On a recent visit before a show at the nearby Hawaii Theatre, we arrived in time for happy hour, which was even more reasonable then the regular prices (I feel this is the kind of place that wants you to stay and relax a while). The bartender was super friendly, offering us ice water to go with the ice cold beer. Other customers seemed equally happy. It feels great to get to enjoy town again; I look forward to another visit!

    Once upon a time when I worked in the financial district of Downtown Honolulu, my colleagues and I would go to the Chinatown area for happy hour (HH) and First Fridays. Those were the good old days where you'd hang out with your office mates winding down with adult happy juice. We'd usually patronize our favorite spots where Bar 35 was one of them. Located near the corner Smith Street and N Hotel Street makai side, Bar 35 has been in business since 2006 offering craft beers, cocktails, flatbread pizzas, sandwiches, and an array of appetizers. Recently, a, a friend suggested coming here for HH. I was off that evening and had been swamped at work so this was a great idea to wind down with some friends. Upon entry, you are carded immediately so have your ID ready. It was just before 5pm and still early, so we selected our seats. After studying the menu, I decided to get the Gyromatic Pizza and a Cucumber Cooler to wash it down. One of my friends came to Bar 35 just to document their outdoor patio with a bar adjacent to it. Above, they have a cool arrangement of colorful umbrellas. Inside, they also have multiple private rooms. We were advised their kitchen starts from 5pm so we used the waiting time sipping on our drinks and catching up. The next thing we know, our flatbread pizzas were delivered to our table. I was able to sample the Smokey Heaven (smoked salmon, cream cheese and capers), French Kiss (French brie, pesto and ham), Veggielicious (zucchini, olives and mushrooms) and the Gyromatic (lamb and beef Gyro meat, and tzatziki sauce). They were all good but clearly my favorite was what I selected, the Gyromatic. I'd order this again. I got the Cucumber Cooler (Smirnoff cucumber lime vodka, homemade sweet & sour and soda water) and just enjoyed it. This gave me a slight buzz where I found myself ordering another one as we had a designated driver that evening. Service was pretty good that evening. Our waitress was friendly but borderline rude. I was trying to take a photo where she intentionally stuck her body part into my photo, not once but twice. She may have been joking but this wasn't received well by me. This was shortly after we entered, and I sure wasn't going to make a scene so I let it go. Overall, a decent time having HH with some friends and I wouldn't hesitate to come back again. The usual parking pains in Chinatown but there are multiple municipal parking lots nearby as well as metered street parking. 2022 #25

    I haven't been to a club ish bar in such a while, but it was my first time here. I like how at a certain time, a dj got set up, and music started bumpin. The dance floor got filled up pretty quickly and it got packed. There was no entrance fee the night we came, and they had some pupus and drinks to order. Seating was very limited in the main entrance area due to it being turned into a dance floor, but there were private areas available and an outdoor area. It was pretty cool, and I wouldn't mind coming by again for an occasion.

    I came here during their happy hour. Their food happy hour is Monday through Friday 5-6pm (1st Fridays not included) and Saturday 7-8pm which includes 25% off any 2 regular pizzas and 25% edamame & euro fries. Their drink happy hour is all night Monday, Tuesday through Friday 4-9pm, 1st Friday 4-8pm, and Saturdays 6-10pm and includes $3.75 Three Olives cocktails, $5 Hangar 1 martinis, $2 off $5-$7.50 bottled beers, and $3 off draft beers. This was one of the few bars that were still open (something about a global pandemic...) so I didn't really have a choice but to stop in here. Luckily it was during their happy hour! For drinks I ordered the cucumber cooler ($7.50 during HH) which was a refreshing drink with lots and lots of cucumber flavors. If that sounds like your kind of drink this is a good one for you. My second drink was the berry Asian ($7.50 during HH) which was definitely on the sweeter side and had a lot of sweet flavors. For food because of their 25% discount of 2 pizzas I ordered the sweet Bangkok and the deep forest pizzas. The sweet Bangkok pizza was something I've never had before! It has Chinese sausage (or lap cheung) on top and it's a pizza with a sweeter flavor profile but it is still really good. The deep forest was also good but I preferred the sweet Bangkok more. I was already pretty tipsy even before coming here and all I can remember is devouring these two pizzas like it was nobody's business. I also liked that the pizzas were thin crust! Overall this was a pretty good happy hour spot with good deals on food and drinks if you can navigate through all the special happy hour times. It's a lounge-y spot where you come with some friends and have fun until it's time to leave.

    It was our first time in Oahu and it was cinco de mayo, so naturally we had to have a fun night out and Bar 35 did not disappoint. Drinks- We were in Chinatown for a block party and wanted to get some drinks at a bar nearby. It was 7PM on a Friday, so thought it'd be a long shot to find a place that still has happy hour but there it was- Bar 35 has HH until 8! Food wasn't on HH anymore; I believe it ended at 6:30. But at $4.50 for a specialty cocktail, we were not concerned with the prices of anything else. Yes, you read that right, $4.50!!! And they don't skimp you on the alcohol either. We tried the berry asian, pineapple plantation, miss Chinatown, cucumber cooler, and lychee martini - basically almost the entire HH drink menu - and all were delicious! The lychee in the martini tasted so refreshing too. Food- We only tried one dish since we were going to dinner soon, but it was very tasty. It was some kind of pork belly pieces on a stick that were nicely charred and sweet, paired very well with our cocktails! Ambiance- We walked in while daytime light was still out, but as we entered Bar 35, it was like we were taken to an entirely different place... like a Miami club at 3AM. The first portion of the bar was only about 20% full at this point, but the way the DJ was bumpin the early 2000s hits, the energy felt at capacity. It seemed like most of the patrons at this point were locals. There was one girl celebrating her 25th birthday, and she kindly came around giving everyone candies as treats. At some point, when the bar filled up a bit more, the DJ announced a special surprise for the birthday girl, which was a lap dance from who I think was her boyfriend, or at least I hope so! I personally don't know of any bars in LA that would have a birthday lap dance going off for a patron at 8PM on a Friday night, so this was quite the show for us. And how could I forget the very instagrammable neon bar sign and cool paintings! Oh and to top it all off, when I finally had to go to the restroom, I was shocked to see a whole other bar area in what is such a cute vibey patio, playing its own separate (and slightly chiller) music.

Nothing like eating huge sandwiches and the best pizza around! Our office orders takeout frequently from little g's and we absolutely love it here! We usually have place our order a few days in advance to secure our order for the day we want. They do run out fast so it is safer to place the order in advance too. You can order online but after a certain amount it requires you to phone in your order. I didn't grab a picture of everyone's food but this was the two sandwiches I got! The chicken parm is incredible stacked with 3-4 pieces of chicken parm and their red sauce with mozzarella served hot. The Italian has three different meat with cheese and lettuce and bell peppers served cold. These were served with a different grained bread which was a lil different than what we are used to but still really great!

After looking over the menu options, we stood waiting for quite a while before anyone acknowledged us or took our order. The manager seemed rude and unwelcoming, which immediately set a negative tone for the visit. Looking back we should have trusted our first impression, but we decided to give it a chance and see what the hype was about. We each ordered a slice of pizza and took it outside to eat. After eating , we walked past the glass wall of the cafe and I noticed the manager handling and mixing flour with his bare hands, with the flour mixture covering his hands and forearms. I didn't expect to see food prep without disposable gloves and it made me uncomfortable. The pizza itself didn't make up for the experience. At around $22 per slice, I was expecting something exceptional or life-changing, instead, it was pretty underwhelming. The flavor, texture, and overall quality just didn't justify the premium price. Between the unfriendly service, concerns about food handling, and the disappointing pizza, I don't feel the experience was worth the cost of overpriced slices of pizza and I will not be returning nor will I recommend Little G Cafe to others. There are plenty of other pizza spots in Honolulu, including Boston's Pizza, that offer better value and a much more welcoming atmosphere.

    Great place to get pizza and cannoli!…read more My boyfriend and I decided to stop by one Saturday night and was pleasantly satisfied with what we ordered. We got there before 8pm and they were sold out on a lot of the items, but still liked what we got! We ordered the Brooklyn Pizza (perfect for two!), which was made with fresh ingredients and was made to order. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate chip cannoli which has the right amount of sweetness and texture, a perfect ending to our meal. They have outdoor and indoor seating, and the service was warm and pleasant. I love the vibe on both areas, and we could see the wood-fire oven even in the indoor seat that we got. Good to know too that they're a vegan pizzeria, we'll definitely come back to try more of their pizza and salads.

Our kids loved both pizzas, and there wasn't a slice left by the end of dinner. After a long day in the sun, it was the perfect meal to bring home and share together. We'll definitely be ordering again.

Like everyone else, I kept seeing their viral Bolognese sandwich all over social media, but I always put it off because I'm not a fan of mortadella. I'm so glad I finally gave them a chance because everything exceeded my expectations. We ordered the Salsiccia & Funghi pizza, Ortolana pizza, Il Calabrese, and the Il Parma sandwich. When I say the Il Parma was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, I mean it. I was literally craving it the next day. The flavors were incredible, and the fresh prosciutto made all the difference. The staff was so friendly and patient, taking the time to answer questions and give great recommendations. While we waited, we got to watch them slice the prosciutto fresh and fire the pizzas in the wood-burning oven, which made the experience even better. They were also running an awesome special: $10 pizza slices that are absolutely massive, plus a complimentary non-alcoholic spritz that was super refreshing. The shop doubles as a little Italian market, and I was already eyeing a rosé balsamic vinegar to take home next time. Parking was easy right in front, and it's located in a very walkable neighborhood. I was honestly ready to come back the very next day, but they're closed on Sundays.

    My son and I stopped by Aroma Italia for lunch a couple of weeks ago, and we left so impressed!…read more We decided to share an order of Alfredo pasta with chicken (well... I ate the chicken because my son refuses to eat protein ). The Alfredo sauce was absolutely delicious. It tasted homemade and fresh, like someone actually made it from scratch instead of opening a jar. It was creamy without being overly heavy and had such a rich, authentic flavor. What really made our visit stand out, though, was the service. I wish I could remember our cashier's/server's name because she deserves a shoutout. My son and I both have food allergies, so before ordering we needed to make sure everything was safe for us to eat. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all of our questions. She also helped me figure out which pasta would be the best choice for my picky 7-year-old and even arranged for the grilled chicken to be served on the side instead of mixed into the pasta. That small accommodation made all the difference since my son wouldn't have touched it otherwise. The portion size was perfect for sharing between the two of us, and we both left happy (which is saying a lot when dining with a picky eater!). Between the fresh, flavorful food and the exceptional customer service, this was a wonderful experience. It's always refreshing to find a place that not only serves great food but also takes the time to make families with dietary restrictions feel comfortable and cared for. We'll definitely be back!
