From the moment you walk in, it feels like you've stepped into a mainland-style club, something you don't always get in Hawai'i. The space is huge, with multiple rooms and bars, so it never feels too cramped even when it's packed. What really stands out is the music. The DJs do a great job blending hip-hop, Top 40, and dance tracks, and the vibe naturally builds as the night goes on, starting chill and turning into a full-on party by late night.

Proceeded to swear and harass paying customers. After getting our last round of drinks the bartender then started saying vile things to our group. The security was also super disrespectful. We ignored the bartender and tried to enjoy the rest of our night to then be ambushed by the security saying we were being disrespectful yet we had done nothing but move on from the horrible bar experience and tried to still give the place chance. I wish I had better things to say but unfortunately from our experience I would never step foot in this place again.

Lots of tables to cater for large groups and a bunch of dart machines available -- you do have to pay to play. There was no set menu and the bartender was nice to let us know that if we shoot her a name of a drink she can make it for us. I got a Midori Sour and it was perfect! Not super strong and more of a melon flavor. Price was decent at $15. I'd say make sure you know the names of a couple drinks beforehand. They did have a couple of specials with one being an "18 year old Filipino Girl"....Okay.... A bit of a weird crowd though with a couple creepy men, so come in a large group! There were a good amount of people in their 20-30s, but the ambiance wasn't giving after some instances.

My friend who is a jazz…read morelover wanted to go since they had a musician in town performing but they don't always have jazz. The vibe was cool and classy. Luckily he made rez so we had a high top table but they also have private / semi - private rooms. Nice cocktails as well as all the other categories of alcohol. I had a yummy espresso martini and friend had a gin based drink that was on the bitter side. We didn't eat but looks like they had some good bites as well. Service was good but a little slow due to busy-ness? Instagramable backgrounds which all new places must have. The one drawback I would say is the parking unless you don't mind paying $10 for valet.

At the end of the night, while I was clearly distressed searching for it, a gentleman introduced himself as the janitor and kindly offered to help by arranging an Uber for us to get home safely. Thankfully, my phone was found by the time the ride arrived, but his kindness and willingness to help left a lasting impression on me. If anyone knows who this kind person is, I would truly appreciate the chance to personally thank him. His thoughtful gesture spoke volumes about the care your staff shows toward your patrons. Because of this experience, my company would be honored to consider using your facility for an upcoming event. Thank you again for fostering such a caring and professional environment

The venue is definitely small and unfortunately the a/c was nonexistent. My friends and I had to step out couple of times to take a refresher outside.

Also the area is in Chinatown and didn't feel too safe. Make sure you have Uber ready to go cause they were kicking people out from the streets.

It was definitely shoulder-to-shoulder in some areas, but the energy was high and everyone was having a great time in the crowd! The performers were amazing, super entertaining and interactive with everyone. Even though I didn't spend much time on the dance floor, I had a lot of fun dancing with my friends and enjoying the vibe of the venue! Overall, this is a fun spot to checkout and feels like one of the go-to nightlife spots in Honolulu. The only downside for me was the experience with the bouncers. They came off rude when we talked to them. Still, if you're looking for a high-energy night out, this place is worth checking out!

They have Salsa on Thursday nights so I walked from my hotel to this place which ended about 15-17 minutes which is not that bad. I had to walk through a sketchy area while following my navigation on my phone. When I left the place, I walked through the Ala Moana Center which I felt safer. $15 cover charge which includes a ticket for a free drink which I used to get a bottle water. Small bottle of water, but still nice. I got there during the middle of the lesson in which I stood back and just watch. It was the super basic steps in which I already know so I didn't want to partake, plus I saw that there was not an uneven number of dudes so there's no need for me to jump in. Haha... I made it a goal for that night that if I danced 5xs then I will be happy to leave as I was not feeling the best. I did dance 5xs, and then I left. I'm glad that I got to salsa danced in Hawaii, but it's definitely not as fun as salsa dancing back home in California. Lol.. Not much people there. Mostly couples who are complete newbs. Lol also the floor is pretty sticky, which is kinda gross. The bathrooms are clean and nice though!

Good evening, fellow Yelpers!

We were here to celebrate our birthdays, but we couldn't find the type of "Vibe" we were looking for. Especially after hiking to The District (which was closed). My wife was satisfied with the selection of music and I have no complaints. They played a mix of R&B, Hip-Hop, and Alternative/Pop Music. If you felt outta place like we did, and The District is closed, this is the spot you want to be. They have a live DJ and a full bar. Havent checked to see if the offer food. Everyone was cool and talkative. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and would suggest this establishment to anyone

And now my latest visit was the third time after I'd gone, I'd become ill the following day or two. While it might be a coincident, it is the common denominator.
