Came here multiple times and each time service was fantastic. It's located in the white sands hotel and push the door that has the dark 8 next to it. Fun speakeasy with fantastic drinks. Also if you like bourbon, fantastic fair prices per pour. A good variety of cocktails, mocktails, and absinthe drinks and cocktails. read more

One of my favorite speakeasies, ever! Located in a hotel with some seating indoors & the majority in their outdoor, covered patio. Island vibes. Our server was excellent! So sweet, friendly & gave us fantastic recs! I do not know if she was the only server for the entire outside because I did not see anyone else, but if she is, give the girl a raise! Cocktails were delicious & strong & they have something for everyone. read more

A cool, little hidden speakeasy inside of the White Sands hotel. When you walk in the hotel, before the hotel desk, the door is on the left, hidden as part of the bamboo wall. The space is small, there is an interior space and a (mostly) covered patio. Expect well made, and pricy, cocktails. We of course ordered the green options. A cool bar to check out in Waikiki. read more

Came here with my girlfriends after finding it on Yelp. It was a 17 min walk, but it's Hawaii. It was a nice walk. It's a speakeasy and we enjoyed trying to figure out how to open the door haha. They were BUSY, good sign though. They were short staffed with one bartender and one sever. We were enjoying the beautiful patio and music so we did not mind the wait. The drinks were all worth the wait as well. We enjoyed every single one of them! Definitely will be back and would recommend. Outside the speakeasy there's a poolside bar with swings. It was really cute. Unfortunately they were closed at the time we showed. If you like good cocktails that are actually worth the price, this is your place. read more

Such a cute vibe! A fun little speakeasy in Waikiki, the vibes were immaculate! They of course had the classic hidden door inside of the hotel, but once you're in there is a ton of seating and live music. The drinks were strong and unique and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. There were not any food options there The service was okay, we had to ask for water a few times read more

If you're looking for one of Honolulu's coolest speakeasy-style lounges, The Green Lady is a must-find hidden gem. It's a little tricky to locate, but once you step inside, you're instantly rewarded with a warm, cozy vibe that's perfect for chilling with friends. The drinks here are top-notch--creative, expertly crafted, and consistently excellent. The staff matches the quality of the cocktails: polite, attentive, and genuinely friendly. A little heads-up: they don't serve beer, but that's a minor trade-off for the high caliber of cocktails on offer. Whether you're catching up with buddies or just want a laid-back spot to savor a fantastic drink, The Green Lady delivers. One of Honolulu's best-kept secrets for a reason. read more

Nowadays, they call everything a speakeasy. But the Green Lady Cocktail Room really did feel like a true speakeasy. We entered the hotel and passed the door without even noticing. It was hidden and easy to miss! The White Sands hotel is a renovated older hotel tucked away off of Kuhio. If you can't find it, ask the lobby for Room 8. They'll point you in the right direction to find this tucked away cocktail bar. It's a true cocktail bar. It's just focused on cocktails (and mocktails!) Entering into this place gave me white lotus vibes. It was dark and moody. I loved the ambiance! They had a great menu of options. I tried two of the mocktails and enjoyed both! They had a mocktail that was served in a cute little coupe - I love when they're able to make a mocktail in a neat style. My favorite was the thoughts and prayers though. It was a pandan drink with great flavor! Green Lady is worth a visit! Without realizing it, we stayed for hours and it was full by the time we were leaving close to 11pm. read more

Okay, wow, this place is bomb! We came here with some friends who are local and they recommended this place. This is such a cool speakeasy and the drinks are amazing. I wish I could try the whole menu. FAVORITE ITEMS: - Space Jam: this was my absolute FAVORITE. It pairs gin, thai coriander, lilikoi, orgeat, falernum, and lemon. I would get this over and over. This was such a unique drink too. - Wrong sized sweater: this drink had mezcal, green chile, celery, lime, and smoked rosemary, it was also an incredibly amazing drink but not as good as the Space Jam in my opinion. PARKING: not sure because it's in Waikiki but perhaps some street parking nearby. PRICE: on the pricier side but given the quality of drinks, they were worth it! Overall, I love this place. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu! read more

Cute lil speakeasy tucked away next to the hotel. My boyfriend and I came here to spy on our friend's Hinge date. We gave them their privacy so we chilled at a different bar for a bit before coming by. BIG MISTAKE. My bf and I were completely lost and were gonna resort to the pool bar, presuming that she had gotten kidnapped. However, right as we were about to accept defeat, the magical door opened and we stepped right into this wonderland....... When you enter, you're met with the indoor lounge, which you can chill with friends at some cozy tables and sofas. As you traverse through the lounge, you then escape to a cute lil backyard where it's romantically lit by torches. Made it a little hard to locate the couple we were spying on but my bf is pretty tall so we spotted them!! We casually ordered at a faraway cocktail table as to give the lovebirds their privacy. The two drinks we got were pretty darn exquisite. Their menu offers unique flavor combos and categorizes them on a scale of how adventurous you're feeling! Great drinks to sip while eavesdropping. Would recommend! read more

Hidden speakeasy behind bamboo doors (Ask for Room 8)! Located inside the White Sands Hotel. Met some friends here for a Friday nightcap. Popular spot. Nice hip and trendy ambiance. First come first serve, no reservations. Opens 8pm. We got there around 8:30pm and it was already full of people! Limited seating inside and most seating outside (humid, so don't wear anything heavy). Everyone in our group tried different cocktails and seemed to enjoy it, but I chose the La Clandestine 53' absinthe on the rocks since I haven't had that since living in Paris. It is under the "Green Lady Drips" on the menu. It is an acquired taste, but worth trying if you've never had it. This might be one of the only places in Hawaii that offer a selection of absinthe. Service was nice. Parking is the biggest con - quite expensive for valet so I suggest parking somewhere else that validates with purchase. Worth checking it out! read more

Fun drinks, cool vibe, great service. I would recommend Green Lady to anyone visiting Oahu!

Love the Tiki bar era ambiance of this speakeasy hidden behind a bamboo wall. It has 70's mystique complete with black velvet curtains and a portrait of the Green Lady. I had "Three Times a Lady" which was a delicious vodka based drink with coconut, yuzu, calamansi and lime garnished with a kaffir lime leaf. Classy cocktail and not too sweet. Highly recommend! The Singapore Sling was pretty and pink but not as amazing. read more

Green Lady Cocktail Room is a hidden gem in Waikīkī. You'll find it inside the White Sands Hotel then look for the bamboo wall with the "8" plaque and push through the secret door. Inside, the vibe is intimate and vintage, with dim lighting and retro charm. The cocktails are creative, beautifully made, and full of flavor. I had the Green Lady and it was perfectly balanced and refreshing. This isn't a loud bar scene rather it's a cozy speakeasy where you slow down and enjoy. Perfect for a date night or a quiet drink with friends. read more

If you want to try something different, head over to the Green Lady Cocktail Room. The ambiance alone is worth the visit. Yes, they are overpriced cocktails, too sweet, and or to little, but the setting is worth seeing. For you instagramers, this is your place to take pictures of your drinks in a cool hidden hideout. I'm not necessarily eager to head back, but it was woth a visit. read more

I live that it has open air ceiling while the room is enclosed with bamboo. You can go inside through a hidden gate . It is classic , quiet and not loud and stuffy . The waitress is super nice and explained to us the items ingredients on the menu . Quite a few interesting cocktails on menu . Definitely like to go back whenever I visit Honolulu. read more

I've been to The Green Lady twice on this trip -- it's literally a one- or two-minute walk from The Laylow, which makes it dangerously convenient. First night: Bartender Kristiana was behind the bar, and her tasting notes were on point. I started with Unexpected Turbulence -- bright, balanced, and a little tropical without being sweet (the "unexpected" note is a warm, satisfying spiciness)-- followed by Maynard's Pawnshop, which leaned richer and more contemplative. She even rounded out my night with a classic old fashioned that was spot-on. Second night: Kristiana was swamped but still managed to keep things personable. I tried the pho-inspired cocktail, Pho a Good Time, Call-- interesting spicy and cucumber notes, though I didn't quite catch the "pho" broth flavor I was hoping for. I followed with another Unexpected Turbulence (even better than my first), and then bartender Haley closed out my night with an off-menu creation built around bourbon and crème de banane -- a perfect closer. Both nights, the vibe was easygoing and unpretentious. The background music was perfectly dialed -- vibey but never intrusive -- and the guests were the kind you actually want to talk to. Bottom line: If you're looking for an alternative to the syrupy, free-poured tiki drinks that dominate Waikiki, this is where you go instead. The Green Lady delivers cocktails with precision and balance, made by bartenders who actually have jiggers and know how to use them. That consistency shows in each drink -- measured, intentional, and beautifully executed. Ask for Kristiana or Haley -- they both know how to deliver read more

We finally made it to the Green Lady Cocktail Room, a speakeasy-style spot that opens after 8 p.m. and is tucked away along the side of one of the hotels. The atmosphere was energetic, and the drinks were fantastic. It does get quite busy, so if you're seated anywhere other than the bar, be patient with the service--they're working as quickly as they can. read more

Came on a Tuesday evening, it was busy, but we got helped in a reasonable amount of time. I tried a variety of cocktails but the Unexpected Turbulence was a very unique top beverage for me. It had the perfect amount of spice and sweetness. I feel like the happy hour prices were reasonable. The bartenders were lovely, patient and kind. It's slightly hidden. Had an open air space. read more

Stumbled upon this speakeasy one of our first nights in Waikiki and went back again because the drinks and vibes were so good! You can just walk in, order a drink, and find seating wherever. Servers are super friendly and most drinks have an Asian flavor twist -- I got a citrusy vodka drink and it was so delicious it basically tasted like juice. Highly recommend! read more

This is a small little speakeasy with limited indoor and adequate outdoor seating connected to the White Sands Hotel. The entrance is hidden behind a bamboo wall, not easy to find, but look for "Room 8". The cocktails are for the most part tiki-esque, tasty and creative, albeit rather pricey. Very hipster vibe, with cool jams playing in the background. Worth a stop. read more

super cool little speakeasy in Hawaii! tricky to find (Its in the hotel) But amazing interior. Everything has a green vibe (drinks too!) They even have absinthe if you're feeling brave. Service was a bit slow but that feels par for the course with speakeasies in general. Everything is nice and laid back. I will be back read more

Very cool speakeasy right outside the main strip at Waikiki. The hotel itself has an old school Hawaiian feel to it - inviting lobby and bar. As mentioned on the reviews, you need to ask for room 8 at the front desk in order to gain access to the cocktail room. As with any speakeasies, this spot is unassuming and lends itself to that "wow" kind of ambiance. Inside it's nice and dark with an intimate feel. Once inside, there are different sections where you can sit. I like how there are different themes - ie library, living room, inside cabin of a ship, as well as out doors. The space is limited so come early - ie at 8p when they start letting people in. There are a variety of drinks selection that will satisfy any connoisseur. You may also order a custom drink of your choice. Those of you visiting Waikiki definitety should check this out. read more

Waited around 30 minutes to get an order taken with no luck, I saw two other parties doing the same and once one of them spoke up, the waitress told them to wait a minute in a condescending tone. Us three different parties just decided to walk out at that point read more

Nice speakeasy. Went for a girls night on a Friday evening & it was pretty busy! Relatively small space, so we had to fight for a seat-- if you're able to find a space, the service was very fast and efficient & they check up on you fairly often (but not too often to be a bother). We got the three times a lady, Singapore sling, and twin telepathy between the three of us. All three cocktails tasted STRONGLY of whatever the main flavor listed. For example the three times a lady was VERY citrusy (basically a lemonade) & the twin telepathy tasted strongly of cucumber. Overall good, but not that strong--maybe it's because we got cocktails? Little bit of a hassle to get a table/seating, but would go again for the ambience and vibes, but the cocktails were nothing amazing. read more

Actual speakeasy vibes. Very hip and intimate setting with super unique drinks. Seating was a little difficult to secure on a Saturday night but understandable. I would definitely bring a friend here again to try their tropical cocktail selection. Unfortunately I did not take a picture of their menu so am unsure what I got, but drinks were definitely deep and strong. read more

Great hidden gem for some yummy craft cocktails. Very cozy, dimly lit spot that's perfect for a romantic date. Though we weren't super keen on one of the 2 cocktails we ordered(we tried something new, not to discredit any staff), we could still appreciate how unique and well put together the ingredients were. The music was great and our waitress was very kind & efficient even if she was busy. We tried Aquavit, which was a spirit I've never heard of! Waitress educated us on the spirit and made a good comparison that was really helpful. Highly recommend!! Such a thoughtful & impressive drink menu. read more

A large group of us arrived at the White Sands Hotel one Saturday night looking for the Green Lady Cocktail Room. We ended up venturing into Hey Day, the hotel's onsite restaurant and found a staff member who directed us through an incredibly well-hidden door to an outdoor space, that is the Green Lady Cocktail Room. We realized that this enclosed outdoor space was right by the entrance of the hotel, where all the noises were coming from. We didn't know that WAS the Green Lady Cocktail Room before, as we couldn't see behind the fence. To exit the Green Lady Cocktail Room, you would do so from a door on one section of the fence. I was surprised by how quickly we were able to get a table, considering we were a large group. Even though it was a busy night, our server took care of us. It was never difficult to get our server's attention at any point. The cocktails at Green Lady Cocktail Room were on point. These were properly concocted cocktails by knowledgeable mixologists. If you're looking for real cocktails made by mixologists, come to Green Lady Cocktail Room. Don't settle for half-assed cocktails made by bartenders who don't know what they're doing. FYI, water here is self-served! There is a dispenser and plastic cups for you to help yourself to all the water your table needs. read more

Great spot for a date! Hidden in the White Sands hotel, ask for room 8 and be directed to a hidden entry way. Find yourself a seat wherever available, and you'll be asked for drink orders in no time!

Well, this review is a little bittersweet, only in that it was one of my *first* stops on our trip to Hawaii last month, and now I'm back in the real world where I have to do my job all week, instead of just hanging out in various speakeasies... anyway, I certainly did love the *vibe* of the place, definitely felt properly hidden - the door certainly is, I had to ask an employee, but word's clearly out, as it was *packed* by the time I left (it was definitely a nicer vibe closer to when they open, as it isn't that large a space.) Drinks obviously also arrived faster, earlier in the evening, entirely because there was only one bartender the whole evening (though she was a great bartender!) For $18, I'd say only a *few* of their menu cocktails seemed quite interesting enough to justify that sort of price - but a few did. The "Cool Haircut" certainly did - with tequila, Aperol, Suze, Oloroso sherry, lemon and peppadew brine (and garnished with a peppadew), the exact sort of weird sweet/savory combo I love. The other cocktail I tried, the "Speak of the Devil", wasn't *quite* as out there, being basically a really nice reposado tequila Manhattan-style drink with maraschino, a smoked vermouth (I could taste the smoke), and an interesting *garnish*: a legitimately smoky, tasty smoked olive (would've loved a couple more, though!) They do have a pretty decent selection of spirits, though only for classics - their menu drinks are all pre-batched (I'm always a little sad hearing that - means I can't mezcal-swap anything, haha.) They also enticed me originally with what looked like a decent absinthe menu, fittingly for the name of the bar - but on closer inspection, the majority were faux absinthes, which is a lot less exciting, and the one I actually wanted to try, they were out of at the time. So I figured, I love a good absinthe drip, and while I've had St George absinthe before (actually, I've had it years ago, at their distillery), they were also the distillery that *got* real absinthe re-legalized in the US, so I ordered a glass. As you can see from the picture, they did technically *have* an absinthe drip, but at least as of the night I was there, only one, and she couldn't actually get it to work, which was far less fun. (And it didn't sound like it was the first time that'd happened to the bartender.) Anyway, overall verdict of this place: I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but I would definitely come back if I were staying at the Hyatt around the corner again, like I was this time. read more

Great cocktail bar hidden inside the local hotel here. Speakeasy vibe with dark lighting, plenty of outdoor seating, and a DJ sometimes. The eccentric drinks were weird. You definitely won't ever taste those anywhere else. Martinis were good overall. Vodka one tasted a bit more vermouth like and not as strong, but still excellent. Hidden gem! read more

Green Lady Cocktail Room - Thai One On - Speakeasies Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

What's the next stop on my Speakeasy Tour? Oh I'm staycationing in Waikiki? Well, that should be obvious now shouldn't it? It's the Green Lady Cocktail room. Located in the White Sands Hotel behind a non-descript wall of bamboo and a solo gold 8, the Green Lady Cocktail room fits a speakeasy into a relatively tiny spot. There's an outdoor portion, but covered indoor seating is quite limited to a few sofas, two person tables and the bar. My girlfriend and I got the Singapore Sling and the Golden Age. Did reading "Cray Rich Asians" influence us to get the Singapore Sling? Yes. Was it a delicious citrus heavy drink with over proofed gin standing up the floral notes? Also yes. The Golden Age was their take on an orange blossom whiskey sour, going all bougie with the earl gray agave as the sweetener. Smooth drinking with good flavor and balanced sweetness, but maybe a bit too much cardamom for me. If you like whiskey sours, you'll probably like this. Staff were polite, efficient and apologetic that much of the limited food menu was not available due to some repairs being conducted early in the day. On that note, there's not a whole lot of food here normally, so it's best to eat dinner nearby and then head over before it opens at 8 pm. Don't drink on an empty stomach unless you want your next morning to be rough. Advice: Go early and get in line before opening. This place gets real busy real fast on a Saturday. My girlfriend and I were one of the first people waiting for it to open and within 20 minutes of us grabbing our seat at opening, virtually every seat was taken with people desperately looking for any open chair, bar seat, or sofa. Also, parking? It's Waikiki. Good luck. read more
