    Too many moons
    Noelani M.

    We came here to enjoy happy hour which runs from 12-6pm daily. They have great food options for happy hour and a basics drink menu available for happy hour for $12 each. The bar staff was super friendly and made sure to check on us a reasonable amount of times. Swinging on the chairs was fun while enjoying the drinks. I wish that they offered more fun/hawaiian style drinks on the happy hour menu but overall I had a nice time

    10/10 s/o to the bartender for the drinks. So so good. We came during happy hour. Hidden little spot but so cute

    This place was SO cool, it was definitely a hidden gem. Getting there we were so confused but once we found the bar, it was awesome. It has a pool to dip your feet in and if you're lucky, swings to chill on at the bar. It was like being a little kid with an adult beverage. Their other seating was nicely placed too, around the bar and a pretty koi pond. Service was great, appetizers were good. We would definitely recommend it.

    We came because of the cool outdoor bar where you sit on a swing. That was the coolest part! Just be careful because after a few drinks, you could fall off! This is located in the hotel's pool area, so they'll be guests swimming. The service was ok, nothing special. Their pinacoladas are nothing to rave about as they come premade in that mixting machine. We had the Hummus dip as an appetizer. Overall, it's cool spot, I just don't recommend the pinacoladas.

    What We Ordered: Happy hour daiquiri Rotating frozen slushie cocktail Highlights: * Service: friendly, attentive * Food/Drinks: happy hour drinks seemed a little weaker/watered down. Frozen cocktail was better and more flavorful. * Ambiance: trendy, eclectic bar at the pool behind a motel. Swinging chairs at the bar which were sooo fun!! * Price: not worth it for the happy hour drinks, reasonable for regular cocktails

    Heyday is part of the White Sands hotel which has a retro kitschy vibe. Located right by the hotel's swimming pool and nestled in between well kept koi ponds, it feels like you're entering a laidback, circular hidden bar with swings positioned around it. We came for the 3-6pm happy hour; ordered 4 shots, 2 apps (ceviche was ok but warm, and the flat bread was a French bread pizza but still yummy), and spent a whopping $70 which included tip (nice ring to this in this economy). The bartenders were extremely attentive and friendly, which made for such a pleasant experience.

    This bar is so cute with their swings, especially at night! It had a very chill vibe and was a nice place to hang out. Personally, I thought the drinks were kinda strong. The location does feel random because its the pool bar at the White Sands hotel.

    Heyday was awesome. We loves the swings as chairs and really liked our espresso martinis! The patio/pool are is beautiful! The bartender was also super friendly and talkative!

    Jamie W. and I were told Heyday was a gay bar. They were wrong. No, it's one of those outdoor hotel tiki bars next to the swimming pool. It's the White Sands Hotel on Nohohani in Waikiki, and to make you feel like an outsider, they make you walk a longish tunnel past the registration desk, and onto the lanai crowded with guests on chaise lounges. The bar is a circular outdoor bamboo hut, but instead of stools, they installed swings. It sounds like a cute idea, but they were rather awkward to climb on. I could well imagine drunken tushes on the concrete from a failure to mount the swing. Luckily we didn't face that dilemma as we ordered our libations. They offered several mai tais and even a build-your-own-daiquiri option. We went with two of their lookalike $16 poolside cocktails. Jamie went for their basic Pina Colada, while I ordered the Zicatela Lifeguard, a blend of mezcal, habanero, coconut, pineapple, and orange (photo: https://yelp.to/T9R_y-0EVP). Both were tropically appropriate and tasty, though the bartender filled our glasses with so much ice it diluted the drinks. Gee, I think I need help getting off this swing. COCKTAILS - 3 stars...too much ice to fully satisfy AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...well, the hut was nice but oh, those swings SERVICE - 3 stars...bartender was preoccupied TOTAL - 3 stars...tiki yes, gay no RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?

    Cool bar and cafe. It's located in a center of a courtyard with lots of plants and super cool retro. The bar had about a half dozen swing chairs. The back deck is located next to a koi pond so the ambience is awesome. Service was excellent staff was super friendly. The drinks were good and unique and the food was solid bar food. Prices were reasonable. I highly recommend recommend this place to chill and relax.

    So this bar was actually not on my list, completely didnt notice it during planning somehow - but the speakeasy attached to the same hotel (Green Lady) was, so I ended up here, the first time, while looking for the entrance to the speakeasy next door. When I saw they had a mai tai with mamaki tea-infused rum on the menu, though, I had to stop and try it on my way. It's $19, though so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it - it *was* a wonderfully-built mai tai, but it didn't taste particularly tea-infused. For fancy stuff I'd probably recommend Green Lady over Heyday. Anyway, I also noticed while I was there, that they also have a pretty solid happy hour on basic cocktails for $8 until 6 (also one $6 draft beer) - funny enough, the next day my wife happened to be looking for a place to get cheap drinks around 5 PM, and Heyday being only a couple blocks from our hotel, I was like... I know a place! Was much happier paying $8 for a cocktail than $19, though admittedly the mai tai was much fancier. Was a solid daiquiri though. (My wife's moscow mule, though, I agree with her, was more ice than drink.) I did also love the vibe of the place, out by the pool, with swings for most of the seats (they do have a few normal seats, though). Definitely feels like you're on vacation.

    Great casual find. Fun place to hang out in the afternoon. Sitting on the swings is a great casual feel.

I initially tried the bakery directly across the street at the International Marketplace, but they didn't open until 7am. I began to walk towards a distant Starbucks I found on Google and noticed an active escalator and signage pointing towards the open Hideout at the Laylow. Advertising local coffee, I immediately took the ride upstairs and was greeted by two young ladies full of smiles and Aloha spirit! Being summertime and hot (even at 6am) I ordered a large iced latte and decided to drink it on their large open lanai. I'm glad I did. The breezes up there were perfect and watching the daylight get brighter with local birds chirping and fluttering about made for a very nice wake-up! This became my go-to stop every morning of my visit! I only ordered breakfast once and kept it low-carb so I had cheesy eggs and Portuguese sausage. Perfect and hit the spot. If staying at the Laylow (Marriott product) or close by, I'd recommend this as your morning wake-up as well! Enjoy!

    Sadly I hoped I could give it a better review but since moving from the downtown venue to Waikiki I…read morejust couldn't. Located in a hotel called The Romer on Nāhua Street in Waikiki off of Kuhio (closer to Ala Wai Canal) it is a smallish unpretentious looking building on Diamond Head side of Nahua. They have valet stand in front and validate parking for up to 3 hours. The valet wasn't very friendly when we walked towards him and usually they hold the door open but this one did not. We realize he's probably not part of Lei Stand staff but it doesn't make a good first impression. Walk into the lobby and directly to your left is the Lei Stand. It is brightly neon but dark if that makes sense, and very small. If you're a fan of when it used to be on Bethel St downtown then you'll be disappointed with this venue. No view to be had, dark drapes cover the windows (we were there at 6:00 pm) and no cute little lanai or garden. Tiny tables either high tops or rounds - maybe 10 total and a small bar. There was one tiny corner booth. The lost star was for this set up but also another lost star for NO MUSIC. Music is such an important part of a place especially a bar so we were disappointed and appalled there was only silence. Bartender said the music was "broken" so we turned on our phones to get something on our table. Then two girls brought in something to light the place up with some tunes so that helped. The final lost star was it is called The Lei Stand yet there wasn't a lei stand inside the place. When we asked the bartender where it was he didn't even know what a lei was. Then we explained to him and he said it is in the hotel lobby but you have to go to front desk to let them know you wish to purchase one. Another disappointment. Thank goodness I bought her a lei from downtown in case they didn't have any. The good stars ... Star 1 goes to the drink menu and how delicious they tasted. "Rub up on my belly" was beautifully prepared and so delicious I had to have another one lol I mean how could I refuse a second guava jam infused Tito's vodka??? Bartender prepared with cute little garnish and an ice stick to keep it cold! He was very nice and took good care of us. My friend opted for the "Clifton's Curse" - yes there's a back story to this drink- and enjoyed the cognac, absinthe, bitters and sherry concoction! Ono! Star 2 goes to the food or "nibbles" as they call it. Taro chips and crack dip were yum and a nice handful of chips not too much and not too little. Hurricane fries - to die for! Plenty of furikake, parmigiano reggiano and spicy aioli. The girls who brought our food were very nice and made sure we had what we needed to enjoy, bringing us waters too. They also had a smash burger for $25 but we had dinner rez later so didn't want to indulge but it looked good. It might be cute if you wanted to do a private party here and I noticed a room across with a beautiful large table set up for a private dinner - not sure if part of hotel or bar.

We decided to go to the bar for some bites and sips on the afternoon of September 9. The legendary Mai Tai Bar in the iconic "Pink Palace," as The Royal Hawaiian is also known, is where "Trader Vic" Bergeron first introduced to the islands Hawaii's signature drink in 1953. Located just steps away from Waikiki Beach, the oceanfront bar is a festive, postcard-perfect setting for enjoying the beach scene while sipping on delicious umbrella drinks and snacking on yummy appetizers with music playing. We arrived at the beachfront bar shortly after 3:30 PM and found no issue with immediately finding a table where we could enjoy the view. Although their mai tais are consistently voted the best in Hawaii by the readers of Hawaii Magazine, we didn't order the iconic cocktail. Below are what we had instead: HONOLULU BEERWORKS ROYAL SUNSET ($11) - As mentioned earlier, I was given a "Celebrate" card for me "and a guest [who were] cordially invited for a toast to celebrate at the Mai Tai Bar or Malulani Pool...[with] champagne, house wine by the glass, beer by the pint, or a soft drink." Since I couldn't redeem the card for my PINK PALACE, the waiter traded the card for this pink hued beer for DJ. I can't remember if he was given two glasses or just one for the card. Hopefully, he was given a couple on the house since you can't toast with just one...and the invitation was for two. PINK PALACE ($18) - When at the Pink Palace, you must order this famous, creamy, and vibrant tropical namesake HAND CRAFTED COCKTAIL. I enjoyed this fruity twist on the classic Piña Colada, featuring a splash of grenadine to give it the signature bright pink hue that matches the iconic Pink Palace resort. TZATZIKI BEET HUMMUS ($16) - Following the colour theme, this beet hummus was vibrantly pink. The roasted beet purée with the dollop of cucumber, dill yogurt was a refreshing dip accompanied with pita bread. BLT SALAD ($25) - This bowl of greens appeared to be small in portion size, but I was pleasantly surprised to be filled up by it. I also appreciated that the honey bacon steak was lean. Very ono. Service was friendly and informative. Prices were a bit steep, but worth it since you also pay for the scenery and ambiance. This is the Royal Hawaiian Hotel afterall. A very convenient and obvious choice when you are staying at the Pink Palace like we were.
