Bar 35 is a great spot for happy hour (until 10). My friends and I got there at 6:30 and we were able to find a table fairly quickly. As soon as we sat down, our waitress politely greeted us and told us that happy hour ends at 10 pm--woohooo!! She pointed to their drink menu and notes which drinks were on special during HH. We ended up ordering the Berry Asian and Blue Coco drink--both super tasty and refreshing. We also ordered the fries, which was served piping hot and crispy! And of course, we had to get the French Kiss pizza, which has pesto sauce and Brie, which I found so delicious! There was also a band playing, which I always enjoy. read more

Bar 35 is just a really great venue. They recently did some renovations and their main seating area got a major update. Gone are the old black couches, and in their place you'll find a more modern approach: tall tables accompanied by square stools -- a classic pub look. The only negative: the harsh, interrogation-style lighting hanging above each table. What keeps me coming back? Well, it's their Tuesday special: A whole bottle of wine and one of their delicious artisan pizzas for $25. Yes, you heard me winos! If you know me, you know there's nothing I love more than those two things. And it lasts all the way until 9pm! Their Deep Forest pizza continues to be an all-time favorite of mine (prosciutto, mushrooms, mozzarella), but I daresay it may soon be eclipsed by their French Kiss (brie, ham, pesto, mozzarella, basil). While extremely delicious, their pizza is on the thin side so be prepared to order some appetizers if you come with a larger group. Most of the time you'll find really great service here. My friend and I met up to partake in their Tuesday special one night and our waitress brought us our wine, uncorked and poured it for us, then waited as I sampled it to make sure it was to our liking! She really set the bar high. I recommend finding @Bar35 on Instagram because they've got some amazing deals only their followers would know about. For example: For the whole month of July, their Tuesday special wasn't limited to Tuesday. That's right, you could've gotten it ANYTIME Monday - Thursday. It was like the heavens parted and I was getting a little glimpse of heaven... Well anyway, I guess you know where to find me every Tuesday. read more

Bar 35 - Tuesday special: A whole pizza + bottle of wine for $25! - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Came here on a busy Saturday night. The main entrance was very tight and hard to get through due to everyone standing near the bar and dancing. Once we walked back towards the patio outdoor bar it was a lot more relaxed and a quieter scene. The bar tender was really friendly and made nice conversation. Drinks she made were really good, she recommended we stop with the gummy bear shots because we would have a hangover in the morning, and made us something similar but not as sweet. I appreciated her honesty and honestly, once your two or three drinks in you don't think about stuff like that. Chill bar. Will be back! read more

Bar 35 is my favorite watering hole in town. Go there on Wednesday for their House of Brews beer tasting & pizza samples for $20. You'll get 8 samples plus one repeat. Andy, the organizer, promotes weekly themes (spiced beer, IPAs, ciders, etc). The bar ambiance is nice- cool, dark, lots of bar seats and a handful of tables. The pizza is another winner, light and crusty artisan type. Enjoy! read more

A group of us went to Bar 35 for a coworker's going away party. While we had reserved the outdoor seating area, we were told upon arrival that the person who made the reservation forgot that it was "cigar night". At 7 PM, out come the cigars. Still, we stayed and enjoyed drinks and flatbread pizzas and garlic fries on the lanai. The drinks were good, and so was the food. The server was a bit uncooperative when we asked her to remove the cigar ashtrays, but she did, eventually. This is not a high-brow place, but was comfortable, with good food at moderate prices. read more

I only come here for the beer tasting, and it's freaking great! Imaging this..... You get try 8 different beers that a related by a specific theme for the week, while one of their beer experts come around and talks about the beer. He can tell you about where the beer is from, what kind of flavors it will have and why, and even the history about beers. You also get free pizza. This is not your typical pizza. This is some freaking creative, delicious, thin crust pizza. Oh the 9th beer you get is the one you choose from the 8 they gave you. Awesome right? $20 on Wednesday night. Come early cause it is usually packed. If you didn't eat dinner before you came, they have delicious fries with different sauces, and other appetizers. Check this place out, for their large selection of beers, their food, or beer tasting! read more

There is absolutely no way that I would ever set foot in this joint without the vodka bait. But, there was vodka, so I went. The writer of the cocktail menu made an ill-conceived attempt at assigning "cute" names to the drinks. I drank something called a Miso Horny. It didn't turn me on at all. read more

Bar 35 is a great place to come during happy hour. You can enjoy select domestic beers for $3, most other beers are $4.50 and pints of draft are $5. They also serve some pretty tasty pizza and you get 25% off when you order two during happy hour. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Nice background music. Not too loud, so you don't need to yell to speak. A solid four stars. read more

Bar 35 - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've been here several times and the atmosphere is relaxed and trendy. Had my birthday get together at bar 35 and after going to indigo we went back to bar 35 to finish off the night. The martini's are excellent and the bartenders are very friendly (even when I left my tab open until the next day a few visits ago). Great long happy hours! The beer selection is also very impressive. One of the few places that boast several ORGANIC beers. :) The best part is the outdoor bamboo patio area. Beautiful and a great place to have a drink and a breath of fresh air. :) We tried the pizza this past sat. and it is as good as pizza can get. 5 STARS.... read more

Bar 35 - fabulous martinis - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Have you ever had a magical night? A night where roads turn into yellow brick, bartenders morph into wizards-or-witches and your vodka press takes you to a place somewhere over the rainbow? Such nights are rare as gold and should be treasured ... Bar 35 can induce one of these enchanting evenings, but the question that matters is this...where will you be when it happens? In the heart of Hotel Street lies a bar unlike any other. When you walk through the doors your eyes are blinded by the lack of lighting as you stumble over what appears to be a phantom leg. Your eyes slowly adjust to the darkness and you realize that leg belongs to a hottie in high heels, sipping on a lychee martini. When your vision reaches equilibrium you find yourself in the middle of a hundred fellow revelers, shoulder to shoulder, nuts to butts, breasts to chests....some dancing, some talking....everybody's smiling. You realize your not in Kansas anymore... Just then the bassline drops, shaking the glasses behind the bar, clearing your mind of the fog the tornado-of-an-entrance left clouding your thoughts. That yellow brick road you've been walking all night has led you to Bar 35 and that Wizard you seek is pouring an ice cold cocktail from a Boston shaker. Eddie, the Wizard of OZ (ounces), can be found in the south...in 35's "garden". The coolest bartender in all of Hawaii can fix you up with a drink to mend your broken heart, fill your brain with grandiose delusions and give you enough liquid courage to take on the wicked witch-of-a-bum sitting by your car. Eddie is worth waiting in a huge line for "because of the wonderful things he does", but if you know him like I do, all you need is some eye contact and in 2 minutes your drink is made. Gretchen, the Good Witch of the North, can be found in the northern bar where it's dark and deafening. She waves her wand and concocts the best rendition of vodka-press i've ever had, and at $3 a pop until 8pm, you can let her work her magic on you all night long. "Gretchen and Magic and Vodka, OH MY! Gretchen and Magic and Vodka, OH MY!" The night ends and you stumble out of Bar 35 the same way you stumbled in...but with new friends made and remnants of the intoxicating potions that the Wizard and Witch brewed especially for you, still running in your veins. Back to Kansas you go, as that yellow brick road slowly turns to pavement....you fall into your bed and sigh, "There's no place like Bar 35..." #Yelp 365 - 010/365 read more

The food, servers, and the happy hour deals on drinks are good here. Happen to land on a night where trivia was happening and was pretty fun. For a halloween night, it wasn't too crowded and was a very chill place to be. Nice patio area where it's not as loud as the inside bar. read more

Almost every time I've been here has been a Friday night between 8:30pm-11pm. Obviously the earlier you go the more seating is available. Inside at the bar service is fast, not necessarily the most friendly. Outside bar/patio is really nice if you get there early enough to snag a seat on one of their couches. Ambiance is really nice with the lighting and open air. Food is really good, mixed drinks are pretty bomb, I love their lychee drinks. Outside music has a more fun/old school (like early 2000s hahah) vibe, whereas inside DJ tends to play more current jams, but I guess it also depends on who's playing that night. Gets pretty crowded right around 10:30pm. Laid back crowd. read more

This place will scam anyone they see they possibly can take advantage of. I was asked to leave because I "stumbled" into the restroom. I asked to notify my party I was with, at first they said no, and then they obliged, after minutes of stating I will not leave without notifying my party. They then could not find my card, and tried to make me sign a receipt, which I did not. Then they "found" my card over an hour later saying it slipped under their nose. During this experience, I witnessed and brought to their attention of others stumbling and falling over, yet I was the only one escorted out. Be weary if you are military, or an outsider(Haole) because they WILL try to take advantage of you. read more

Yelp 100 Review Challenge 2015: 127/100 NEW FAVORITE PAU HANA SPOT!!! I visited Bar 35 once with some college friends right after turning 21 and the experience is all a blur. Now I've returned as a downtown-located-working-professional with a whole new appreciation for this place. At 5pm on a hump day Wednesday, Bar 35 was surprisingly empty. We grabbed a table, most are made for party of 4's though they do have a couch and lounge area for more. Their happy hour menu is awesome (see photos below). I ordered three $3.75 drinks which included Miss Chinatown, Asian Fusion and a chocolate martini which were all awesome. They have daily specials, and for Wednesday they have a sample flight of 4 beers for only $7 - so we had to order that! We also got the eurofries ($6) but 25% off during happy hour. The fries were delicious but the side dip is an extra .50 and is on the smaller side. Major props to the server who seemed to be the only server even as the crowd started to grow. She was prompt with filing our waters, taking and delivering our orders and they even had a raffle ticket for a free electric bike that she had us enter! Amazing server! The lighting is rather dim, the bar is LOUD even at 50% capacity and parking could be an issue if you come during happy hour (5p-6p for food, 5p-10p for drinks) where street parking in downtown isn't free BUT I will definitely be back! Great service, drinks & prices - can't go wrong! Plus, they projected the Golden State Warriors game on the wall which my Fiance enjoyed to watch, that's an added bonus in my book!!! read more

I really like this bar, and especially the back patio! It was such a nice atmosphere, I didn't feel like I was in downtown Honolulu. There were beautiful green geckos everywhere, and it was nicely enclosed. The service was fantastic. Our waitress was super attentive and friendly. They have an amazing happy hour! $3.75 cocktails, for example. I recommend the "MISO HORNEY!". Their beer menu is HUGE, too! Over 150 beers! They also have some food, mainly appetizers and pizza. Unfortunately their fryer was broken, so we couldn't try the fries, but we had a pizza and it was very tasty. It was almost like a large flat-bread pizza, it really hit the spot. I highly recommend it! On Tuesday they have a wine and pizza deal. $35 for a whole bottle of wine and a pizza. We will definitely be back to try the fries and "participate" in more happy hours. With such tasty food and drinks, and great service and a great atmosphere, I left wanting more! read more

One of my fave bars in Chinatown! Great cozy bar and I love their pizza here! If you're a beer drinker then they also have many many different kinds of beers here from all over the world! They also have a full bar and other bar foods too. DJ usually comes around 10pm and this bar is in between other bars so it's easy to bar hop from here. There's even a bar in the back outside area and some private areas too good for parties. read more

Awesome Happy Hour and all around good food. Walking in, your think it's a small space, but there's a back room you can reserve or sit in if no one reserved it and an outdoor sitting area! I recently had their Okonomiyaki fries which were soooo good! I also sampled two of their pizzas which were also good...one was a Thai style pizza and the other was a Greek style one! So good. read more

The more I come here, the more I love this place. By no means I need to join AA, but the drinks are awesome and the bartenders are super bad ass. My friends and I always sit at the inside bar to experience the EXCELLENT service that they (George, Gretchen, & Stephanie) provide. Soon, new and amazing drink concoctions will be added to the drink menu. I can't wait to try them... all? So I highly recommend Bar 35 for your pau hana drink(s) or to start/continue your weekend groove, but don't hog the stools at the inside bar when I get there. read more

One of my favorite bars to hit in Chinatown. Good food, drinks, live entertainment, and atmosphere. The candles/ dim lighting really sets the mood. It has a romantic feel. It has table seating and a outdoor lounge area in the back. The thin-crust pizza here is the best. I recommend the two I tried, Sweet Bangkok and French Kiss. So delicious! The pork spring rolls are also very tasty. Kudos to the great chef. This place is always on my list when I go out in downtown. read more

George, Stephanie, Gretchen and Eddy are probably the best bar staff in the state of Hawaii! I do not believe I have ever been treated sooooo well by a staff after only comming in a few times!! The happy hour specials are awesome and the bar presents a neat and clean atmosphere! $3.50 skyy + flavors. Just about anyone can enjoy that! The beer specials are dependent on what they have on tap, always changing, always amazing! If you are looking for a chill, non hipster bar in C-town, this is your place! read more

This is exactly the type of spot I like to hang out at. Chill music, chill people, wonderful staff. Wide variety of drinks. There's even a patio out back that is quiet and chill. This place is superbly underrated, especially considering their happy hour specials. A must go if you stroll through Chinatown or specifically visit it. You know? Whatever. read more

My favorite place to hang out in Honolulu. (1) The versatility. It's 2-in-1. You have the main area when you go in the front door, a nice long bar, small tables for 2-3 people, and then loungey sofas for larger groups of people. Go to the back, and they have a open-air patio/beer-garden type setup where the music doesn't tend to be as loud. (2) The pizza - yeah, crazy. Bar 35 has a wide beer selection, and I've been there nights where they had wine (I don't know if it was some special occassion), but the pizza here is delicious! Thin crust ... my favorites are probably the tuscan sun and italian perdition. I'll try to remember to take pictures next time. (3) Location - Chinatown has really taken a turn for the better in Honolulu. It just isn't so sleazy anymore. Parking isn't so difficult, and whenever you tire of Bar 35, you can always hop over to Next Door or Indigo's (stiffest drinks) or, if you like the military type or Tripler nurses type, go to Kelly's or O'Tooles down the street. But generally, you're going to find a good mix of tourists/locals/military people here. Its all good. UPDATE To update - I asked about the pizza here from Norm, the guy who works the kitchen. It is actually "fusion gourmet" pizza by a personal chef, Chef Valentini, who runs a catering gig. You can check out his concept on pizza here: http://chefvalentini.c... According to Valentini: People often ask me, "What is different about your pizza from others?" My answer is always the same, "everything." 1. The crust is ultra thin and crispy 2. The menu has fun and extravagant names (i.e. Simple Pleasure, Sweet Bangkok, etc.) 3. Out of the ordinary toppings 4. The shape is not typical round, but oval! 5. It's served on wood pizza peels Yeah, I've gone to Bar 35 just to eat pizza. read more

Bar 35 - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've been here on multiple occasions and I definitely have to say, when you go will make or break your experience here. On First Fridays, this place is ridiculous. It's packed like a NY subway during rush hour. People are sweaty, bumping into you and you literally cant move as you try to squeeze your way through to the bar. The bar service takes FOREVER, simply because it's so crowed! Oh and they charge you cover to be packed like sardines! I believe its $5 but they may have changed it. On the other hand, I've been here on an off night (pretty much your typical saturday night) and it was fairly crowded, but not packed. Seats were open and the bar service was as you suspect on a slower night, much faster. Also, no cover! :) The music here varies, but overall, not that great. They have weird and random movies playing as well...just provides another dimension for your entertainment! I love that they have an open patio bar which is light nicely. It's a cool scene, other than your typical bar. It's not so nice when its super crowded however. The drinks here are typical as well. Not super strong, but not that expensive as well. They have an amazing selection of beer, which is awesome!! One of the reasons why I like coming here. read more

Such a cutesy atmosphere. I love the decor everything from the bar set up to its cute little furniture, the vip area, the back area with the outside bar, and the ladies room! It's super trendy and since its located in China Town you don't have to feel obligated to dress all fancy smancy. The crowd is mixed from locals to mainland people. The bar tenders are super cool&the security guards are my friends! Loves and I'll come here again:) read more

Ended class early. Someone needed to wind down. Yelp'd and googled places near campus that had happy hour. I'm no drinker so I knew she'd know the better choice. A bit of a walk, especially with your school materials. Inside it was dark. I liked their music selection, not really the videos / images that they played along with them... Happy hour until closing time. The bartender was energetic. There were a few people but thinking it was during happy hour, I thought there'd be more. I guess not. Found out there's a VIP room at the back along with a bathroom. Ordered a Sunny Side Up. Too strong for me. I just shouldn't be drinking alcohol at all. Split fries. Wanted some pizza, heard it was expensive for the size they have it. Our waitress came by to check up on us once in a while. The couches they had. I liked. read more

Look folks, it's OK to come here even if you're twice the age of the regular crowd! Don't let all those young pretty people scare you away. They won't bother you. After overcoming my initial hesitation at being way to uncool for this place, I've come to consider it one of my favorite after work hangouts in Chinatown. I really love the space here. The bar is amazing with the exposed brick wall, warm lighting, and acres of booze. And they have a bunch of comfy leather couches to wind down in after work. Guinness is on tap and, rather surprisingly, they have great cocktails here. The flatbread pizza is also very good. They have a few larger, more private hangout rooms that can be reserved for larger groups. And there's another really nice space in back with an outside bar and tables. read more

Tired of all the medicore restaurants on the north shore & central O'ahu, my husband and I decided to venture into town to find a spot for date night.. he searched Yelp & found Bar35! From the outside, the bar looks kind of sketchy. There are some homeless/crackheads hanging around on the sidewalks, but don't let that scare you away! The inside of the bar is pretty spacious, with huge couches & coffee tables to one side & the bar on the other. There are also a few private rooms that look fun if you're going with a big group of people. My husband was really impressed by their beer selection, since he's a fine beer connoisseur. I think they have over 200 different types (bottles). I'm not that big on beer, so I was equally impressed by the cocktail selections! Try the Miss Chinatown & the Berry Asian.. so delicious!! We also loved the French Kiss pizza! I was really happy with the service here. The girls bartending were so friendly & sweet. One thing that was both strange & funny was the mid 40's-ish DJ playing a mix of house & 80's music. There was also School House Rock projecting onto one of the walls.. weird but it adds to the unique feel of this place. Overall, we loved this place & will definitely return for the huge variety of drinks & the funky atmosphere. The bar-goers were a mix of people--young & middle aged, students & business people. I think this bar has something to offer everyone. read more

Bar 35 - Tons o beer! - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Been here a bunch of times for years now. They have a great Chopin vodka special for $5 and flat crust pizza that is always delicious. It can get super packed for happy hour Fridays and especially on First Fridays but it draws a nice diverse crowd from the urban hipsters to the professional business folk..casual but also dressy. A great spot to hit up before going on a dinner date or after a dinner date. Can't go wrong.It's also smack dab in the middle of Chinatown, alongside or across other worthies like 39 Hotel, Next Door, Lucky Belly, DownBeat, and Manifest so you are amidst the hustle and bustle of adventure for food, fun, and entertainment galore. I love the back outdoor area, complete with full bar, loungey seating and ample space to stand and chat. Street parking or some paid lots or mark's garage is closeby, or just cab it over. I love that I can just walk over to the bar so I don't have to worry about the drive home. :) read more

Trendy, hip bar in China town. They have great thin crust pizza and gyros. The backer of fries is huge and delirious! Their happy hour is epic. You can't get drinks this cheap almost anywhere in Honolulu! There are several different areas from the main bar, patio and a lounge. read more

Their thin crust pizza is delicious but price wise I don't think it's worth the price. You're left still hungry and just spent about $15. The drinks are pretty good especially during happy hour and the back patio has great ambience. I used to go here a lot back in the day and the service would get pretty slow so you have to jam your way to the bar area and fight the crowd for a drink. The decor inside is pretty dark typical of a bar but the variety of beer they have is pretty awesome! It's a great place to go with friends for the bar atmosphere but lately just seems a bit much. read more

Try the pizza, it's good... Try the pizza, it's good... Try the pizza, it's good... Why should I try the pizza? I came here for beer!!! The main reason I'm here is for the beer. I love how they have a ton of beer, and when there's an event, this place really rocks! The bartenders and servers are so friendly, but they never tried to sell me a pizza. But I would always get... Try the pizza, it's good... Try the pizza, it's good... Try the pizza, it's good... And since I'm on a pizza kick, I caved in and tried the pizza. I don't know what I got, but it was good! Better than good, it was great! I really loved the thin crust and it came out so quickly! And no, I wasn't drunk. And surprisingly, I didn't get a beer to go with the pizza, but a martini! What? Go figure! So I've opened myself to not only thinking that Bar 35 is just for beer. It's for pizza and martini's, too! read more

I've been to Bar 35 many times, but this review is for my most recent visit for my bestie's birthday. The bar has a relaxed garage party vibe with an open dance floor, a few long tables, and a patio in the back. Thankfully we had bottle service so we were in the private mesh area. I showed up just after the bottle service had ended, but I was still able to order a few drinks. The sever was really nice and quick. The private space was big enough for our party of 20 plus people. It also has a private bathroom which was helpful for the ladies and the birthday girl. It was a Saturday night so the place was pretty packed. They have a large screen with projections and mostly play hip hop and throwbacks. Despite the crowd, I was able to get drinks from the bar in a timely manner. We were also able to hangout and dance without getting jostled around. Drinks are always poured well and not overpriced. The dress code is casual and the people are friendly. Side note: I like coming here when it's happy hour. They have some good drink specials and food. read more

Good drinks, good food. Throughout the years, B35 has remained a pillar in our downtown favorites. Steph & Gretchen are the best- always ready with a hug & your favorite drink. Whether you're a regular or a newbie, B35 is a staple worth making time for. read more

I went with a bunch of co workers after work. We didn't have a reservation but they were able to squeeze us in. If you go be sure to make reservations. They have really good lychee martini. That's all I've been drinking all night. The food here is really good as well. We tried the smoked salmon pizza (I forget the name), omsayaki fries, Brussels sprouts and pork skins... all was really delicious. I would go back again and try other foods. read more

I went here during my first First Friday experience. I had a good time! I think the place could be bigger, but at the same time we had space to dance or whatever and were not cramped. I wish I could think of more to review about this place, but all I remember is meeting a cool local guy, his buying me my choice of drink (cranberry vodka), dancing, and taking a few pics with the girls. I don't know much about this place haha but I would recommend it anyway. Who knew Chinatown has so many cool places?? read more

I'm hardly ever in Chinatown because I hate the parking situation and one-way streets, but I need to learn to get over it since there are so many good places to eat and drink in that area. Bar 35 is one of those places. I really liked the pizza, fries w/ sauce, and chicken nuggets while drinking Eddie's Special. For a bar, the pizza was super good! I love thin crust pizza. The sauce that came with the fries is yummy too. My friends and I went on a Friday night and it was pretty packed. I like the private tables inside away from the main area, as well as the standing area outside in the very back of the bar since it's easier to hear each other talk. Inside the bar it can get really loud, like loud as a club. lol. I would probably go back to enjoy the food and drinks with my friends. read more

PROS: -Wednesdays are beer and pizza tasting nights at Bar 35. This allows you to taste seasonal beers while having tiny bites of their various flat bread pizzas. I would expect more pizza, but it's still fun to have the beer-expert go around and educate you on various beer details. -Comfy Couches -Fun, interesting, conversation starting art. Look at the painting to the right of the bar. It's a penis painting! -Reasonable prices. -Nice, dim lights and friendly atmosphere. CONS: -Parking is going to cost you, no matter where you park. Find a parking garage or pay lot nearby before you go. There is no street parking outside of it. read more
