    It has been a while since I've been back. The menu is different. We came for happy hour. The bartender, who looked like James Franco, was cool and fun. Debbie D and I were the first ones there and we had to come in through the back because the manager who had the key to the front had not arrived yet. All good! Felt like we were going to a secret bar. As the evening progressed, it did get busier. We just kept drinking and it was a lot of fun catching up! Mahalo Bevy!

    Stopped in for a quick drink around 5ish on a Wednesday before our dinner reservation nearby. It was happy hour at that time (Wed-Sat, 5 to 7). They have some cocktails for $12, wines for $14, beer for $5-$6, and discounted bar snacks. There was something called "cocktail of the day" as a part of the happy hour menu, which I don't think they really set because when we asked the bartended about it, she said she could just make us whatever we liked. So she asked what our liquor of choice was (whiskey) and if we liked more sweet/sour/strong. My husband and I each told her our preferences and she expertly made us each two very different drinks that we both enjoyed. You could tell she was a bartended who was actually good at her job, and not one just pouring alcohol. If we didn't have the dinner reservation, we probably would have stayed for another drink and some bar snacks. Definitely worth checking out - especially during happy hour!

    I was interested to find a cocktail bar in Honolulu, and when I asked a server from another restaurant, they recommended Bevy as a place they'd go if they wanted drinks! So glad they suggested this place--Bevy has a really chill atmosphere, along with a disco ball, amazing drinks, and a panda mural! Our group just had drinks, and I personally had the Bleeding Heart and Trinidad Sour. Both of those drinks were ON FIRE. The Bleeding Heart actually had a hibiscus ice cube, which was so delicious to have melting in the drink! So glad I checked out this place--our server was amazing (shout out to G!) and the atmosphere was exactly what we needed after a long day!

    Stopped by for a quick drink before heading out of the area and had a great experience! The bartenders were very friendly and the crowd was very chill and nice. I got their twist on an espresso martini (can't remember what was different about it or what made the foam...) but it was delicious!!! Seems like they do live music there some nights as well. Would definitely check it out again!

    It's been a few years since we have visited this place but happy to know they survived the pandemic. We came on a Tuesday night and it was pretty empty. I have passed on weekends and know it gets busy. We didn't order food as we already ate. The server was unclear as to the special was which I thought odd as patrons would want to know. She did though, try to describe it. The mixologist came by and offered us a drink that he just made (the navy swizzle which was go) and we thought that was nice. Lots of drinks had ingredients I never heard of so it took awhile to get through, for me. Service was a little in lacking as there was just the one server albeit the place was pretty empty and the mixologist. Luckily we were just enjoying our time and not on a time crunch.

    I absolutely loved the vibe at Bevy! It is a fantastic bar/restaurant for late-night hangouts. It's been a while since I've visited, but I still remember the amazing time my friends and I had here. We ordered the punch bowl, which was shareable among 4-6 people. The large bowl is priced at $110, but split amongst 6 people it's roughly $18, which is definitely worth the price - very comparable to singular cocktail drinks. When I was there, they had a live band. It wasn't too busy, so the vibes were very casual, but it was the chill night that we needed after arriving from our long flights. The staff were also very welcoming and friendly. We didn't order any food, so I can't say much about their menu, but it seems like they only offer small bites and appetizers. I'd definitely visit here again!

    I swear, this place has the best craft cocktails in the state... I take all my friends and visitor's here after my yoga or dance classes! The bartenders there are knowledgeable and seem to love what they do. It's fun to talk story with them and get suggestions on new spirit concoctions. They have a nice outdoor patio, where you can sip your cocktail, with your doggie and people watch. My favorite cocktail is the O-Ren 88 named after Lucy Liu's character from the movie Kill Bill On the food menu they offer my favorite - Raw OYSTERS!!! I'll also never say no to a badass smash burger.

    Bevy beautifully combines modern elements with a touch of nostalgia, creating a unique ambiance that sets it apart. The bar takes inspiration from European-style cocktail bars, offering a vintage industrial atmosphere adorned with sustainable decor. Bevy really set the tone and vibe of SALT. What truly sets Bevy Bar apart is its farm-to-bar approach when it comes to food and drinks. They prioritize utilizing the freshest local produce, resulting in cocktails and bites that are both unique and delicious. Their commitment to sustainability and quality shines through in every sip and bite. Most recently I came for happy hour, which runs from Tuesday to Saturday from 5 pm to 7 pm. The happy hour drink menu features a variety of delightful options, all priced at $12. My personal favorites were the lavender mule, paloma, and margaritas. These drinks were expertly crafted and bursting with flavor. On Taco Tuesday, which runs from 5 pm to 9 pm, they offer a special deal of three tacos for $14, accompanied by margarita specials. If you're looking for shareable dishes beyond the happy hour menu, I highly recommend trying the brussel sprouts. This dish features a delightful combination of pistachio, jalapeño, pickled onions, and a sesame ponzu glaze. Additionally, the smoked salmon, served with balsamic, taro, and Okinawan sweet potato chips, is a must-try. My early memories of Bevy is when I was in college and freshly of drinking age- it was like a cozy club that you would really run into every cool person you knew. Whether you're looking for a relaxing happy hour or a memorable night out, Bevy Bar is the place to be.

    Ina, Michael, and Alia were the absolute most incredible trio of workers I've likely ever met in my life. The owner happened to swing by tonight, and man do I wish he stayed for a little longer... he has an elite team of workers under him, and he deserves to be happy about that. Each one of them deserves a raise, I've seen some careless "tips" all around the bar. They have incredible teamwork and they know what to do without supervision. Props to all 3, this place is incredible and needs more support. Keep your best workers at their best work!

    Two tacos with lamb and falafel

    The service here was awful, but the food was good. I wanted to make reservations for a Wednesday evening for a party of around ten people. Their website says to text a number, which I did the Friday before. They called back later that night, but I missed that call. The days leading up to the reservation, I called at least three times to try and confirm the reservation, but they did not get back to me. Luckily, on the day of the reservation, the restaurant was completely empty, and they were able to accommodate our group. I ordered the shawarma tacos with the lamb and falafel. Food was delicious because it was from Doner Shack. The reason for my low rating is what happened when we were paying for our food. The waitress offered to ring us up separately because the restaurant was completely empty. We decided that this would be best for us, so she walked around the table with her handheld device. When it came to me, she confirmed what I ordered and asked for my card. I handed her my card and she tapped it for me. What a mistake. She didn't confirm the amount, and THERE WAS A 20% TIP THAT WAS AUTOMATICALLY ADDED. I only realized this when she gave the device back to me to sign, and there was suggested tip amounts of 3, 5, and 7%. I was wondering why it was so low and then realized it was because there was already a tip added. Too late to do anything about it. She did not mention the automatic 20% to anyone in my party. And there is no mention of an automatic gratuity for large parties. This was just greedy and rude, and I will never be coming back here. Also, just a friendly reminder that when you are dining out to always check your bill. This is not the only place I've been to that has added on charges that were not fully transparent.

    Dance floor
    Dean H.

    Chill vibes and a nice night with family and friends. The drinks were well made and there was a ton of whiskeys to choose from. The ambiance was mellow lighting and nice bench seating with some high tops. There was also an outdoor seating area. It definitely livened up with my brother in law dj-ing that night. The small but aok dance floor made it a fun night for this way past his clubbing age guy. I enjoyed dancing with my wife for sure. The bathroom was clean and inside the establishment which was nice. The service was very slow and it took some time to get drinks and food. It was a pretty busy night and the wait staff/bar staff was swamped. I would go here again if someone I knew was dj-ing or to have a few drinks.

    Bevy is a classy casual bar in SALT at our Kaka'ako that serves creative cocktails and a small food menu. We came for happy hour and ordered a few cocktails and some happy hour food dishes. The shrimp was crispy but pretty uneventful. The servers were nice. SALT is a beautiful location with lots of local businesses. SALT has their own private paid parking lot and establishments in it validate.

To my surprise, on a Sunday evening after having dinner nearby at Maze, my wife and I walked over to Bar Leather Apron and we were able to get seated right away! In fact, around 7:30 p.m. when we stopped by, there was actually a ton of seating available in the bar. Who would've guessed. If you're in the same boat as me and are unable to find a reservation for your upcoming visit, I would encourage you to stop by and try a walk-in. The first page of the menu lists a wide variety of whiskey based cocktails. Most -- if not all, of the cocktails are pre-fixed with BLA (Bar Leather Apron), and represent a collaboration with the named distillery. If you're fan of whiskey, you'll definitely have a difficult time picking only one. I ultimately ordered their "Take Warning" -- 2021 BLA Knob Creek BLA Single Barrel, Cynar, Carpano Antica, Mezcal, Bergamot Salt. Drinks here are not cheap -- averaging $20 to $25 per drink. Although my drink was very spirit forward, it still felt very well balanced. I appreciated the hint of smokiness from the mezcal that rounded out the end of a sip. Service here quick and friendly. When we received the check, a cute small chocolate snack was brought over as well, borrowed from the menu at Maze. Overall, I can see why Bar Leather Apron has earned so many accolades in its field. Definitely worth a stop by if you enjoy the art of mixology.

I went with the Barreled Old Man, a smooth, layered mix of bourbon, rye, and brandy that just worked, while my wife's Sesame Veil brought a nutty, balanced flavor that stood out. For round two, the Espressing My Love was a great take on an espresso martini, and Michael built my wife a custom drink off her favorite flavors and nailed it again. We paired it with the smoked mozzarella and salami grilled cheese and Ho Farms tomato soup, and this is where it really hit. The sandwich came out hot and crisp, and when you took a bite the cheese pulled away just right, that perfect melt, with the salami adding a savory kick. The tomato soup was fresh, bright, and made for dipping you didn't want to stop. We were welcomed with a table that had our name on it, a small touch that goes a long way.

The neighborhood is vibrant, gritty, and alive--a mix of Chinese, Southeast Asian, and Native Hawaiian influences layered over historic buildings, glowing neon signs, art galleries, and hidden cocktail dens. It reminded me a bit of New Orleans: worn facades with stories to tell, creative energy around every corner, and the sense that the best experiences are often tucked behind an unassuming door. Which makes it the perfect home for EP Bar. "EP" stands for Extend Play, a fitting name for a place built around music. Long before listening bars became fashionable in Los Angeles, New York, and London, there were the jazz kissa of Japan--small cafés where people gathered not to drink or dance, but to listen. Records spun through carefully tuned sound systems while patrons sat immersed in the music. The music wasn't background noise. It was the main event. Walking into EP Bar, you can feel traces of that tradition. The room is intimate and inviting. Reservations are highly recommended because the place fills up quickly on weekend nights. Once inside, the atmosphere hits a sweet spot. The music is loud enough to create a mood and provide privacy for conversation, yet never so overpowering that it dominates the room. Loud enough to muffle the secrets being shared between old friends. Loud enough to drown out the office gossip that somehow followed everyone from the coffee machine into happy hour. The soundtrack isn't just playing--it's setting the tone. As an Old Fashioned guy, my choice was easy. I ordered a Oaxaca OF, which swaps traditional whiskey for mezcal. Smoky, balanced, and memorable, it felt like the kind of drink that rewards slow sipping between tracks. Another member of our group went with the Pho Us By Us. To nobody's surprise except perhaps her own, it tasted a little salty. Considering the ingredients--Green Chile Vodka, Sake, Pho Spice, Lemon, and Soda--it was probably the most honest cocktail description I've ever seen. The drink tasted exactly like its name suggested. That's part of the fun here. The menu doesn't hide behind clever marketing. Drinks like Thai Me Down and Candy Rain practically dare you to order them. Not every note landed perfectly. Service was a little off-beat during our visit. But like any live performance, sometimes the rhythm isn't flawless. Thankfully, the vibes, decor, music, and overall experience more than carried the set. What I appreciated most was that EP Bar doesn't feel like a gimmick. It feels like a genuine continuation of a tradition that began decades ago in Japan's listening cafés, traveled across oceans, and found a home in Honolulu's Chinatown. It's a place where music matters, conversation flows, and the pace of the evening slows down just enough to appreciate both. The place slaps for what it is--and for what it isn't. In a world increasingly filled with distractions, EP Bar invites you to do something refreshingly simple: sit down, have a great drink, listen to great music, and be present. I'll definitely be back. After all, every good record deserves another spin, and I'm curious to see how the needle lands next time.
