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.

I love this speakeasy! It easy to find but also hidden in the best way. The cocktails are so good and the vibes are great! We came here during our vacation multiple times because we loved it so much!

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.

Drinks were really good here! When we came we asked if we could move a couple chairs and the employee seemed really annoyed we even asked, then sat us outside in the rain & took forever to come back to take our orders. But we still came back it was a nice ambiance and good tasting drinks

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.

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!

Great place. We were looking for something chill and cozy. We were glad to find this place, which was open pretty late compared to other ones. Cocktails are very unique and pretty tasty. I love the music style, it also wasn't too loud either, so we were able to talk.

Absinthe on the rocks and cocktails

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!

What an amazing hidden gem inside the White Sands Hotel! Push the bamboo door open & step into the adorable speakeasy! The decor is beautiful, warm environment, lots of candles, cozy seating. Bartender wa very nice, there's an indoor & outdoor area. Go early before it gets too packed! Drinks were strong & tasty. Opens at 8pm.

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.

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

Popped in again for a couple rounds of cocktails and again LOVED them!!! This place just never disappoints. So good . Love coming here for a cocktail or two after dinner.

First off, it's just right below the AC Hotel Honolulu, which already gives it that hidden gem feel. There are two areas: the main bar and a speakeasy. Both have access to the full drink menu. My favorite part? The cocktails served in animal shaped glasses, so freaking cute. The turtle one was my favorite The main bar has more of a classy, elegant vibe, while the speakeasy leans tropical, almost tiki-style. Also, no bartenders or servers in that back area but you actually order by marking your drink on a letter and putting it on a mailbox that goes directly to the bartenders... How cool is that? Big shoutout to the bartenders, you guys were amazing!! Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in Honolulu

If not, you'll sit in the area by the bar. Not to worry, both spaces are equally awesome. We weren't too hungry but of course we had to try their food in addition to their drinks. We happily enjoyed: Taste of aloha- huli huli filet tips, karaage chicken bites, mandoo, ahi dip, and sweet potato chips. Great choice of you can't decide on which appetizer to order. All of these dishes were tasty and perfect with our drinks! Deviled eggs-crispy onion, chives salmon roe, and togarashi. Perfect dish if you're a deviled eggs lover. Drinks- oh pear tree and an old fashioned. Beautiful presentation and you can't really go wrong with any of the drinks on the menu. Great vibes, friendly servers and bartenders.. I'm a fan!

The drinks are well balanced and have a lot of Japanese flavor influence (i.e shisho, matcha, yuzu). Presentation and breakdown of each drink component was exceptional; it is clear that the mixologists understand the nuances of their ingredients and the techniques they employ. Special shout out to Scotty for taking care of us tonight. Excited to come back again :)

Months before my trip to Oahu, I tried to book a reservation to Bar Leather Apron but was unable to…read moredo so because the reservations were immediately scooped up right as they were released. 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.
