    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.

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

    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.

    They didn't have draft beer but did have a selection of local cans and bottles

    Heyday is a fun place with a relaxing ambiance and friendly service. Food is good and relatively inexpensive, we had the steak, tuna melt, fish tacos and fried rice. Everything was good and they have some interesting cocktails. Next door is a speakeasy called the green door. The bar is next to the White Sands Hotel Pool

    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?

    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.

    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.

    Tucked away at the ground floor of the White Sands hotel is their bar with swings! It's a fairly small space with a few tables around the bar next to the hotel pool. They have live music in the evening though. if you are looking for a place with a chill vibe with a hint of fun, this is your place! Bar menu has your usual bar food and prices aren't too crazy! if you do want to snatch a spot at the bar with the swings, go before 5pm! i was there around 6pm on a Monday and all the bar seats were taken! And also note there is a speakeasy here too but it's closed on Mondays!

    We are traveling with our little dog in a bag. Will we be allowed to bring him to Heyday since we cannot leave him in the hotel room?

    It's all outside seating by the pool area, I'm sure it's not an issue!

    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.

The Lei Stand Waikiki is conveniently located in the cozy lobby of the Romer House Hotel. The bar itself is on the smaller side so it does fill up quickly.

Service was really fast, but there were also probably like 3 other people there at the time haha. Overall, great restaurant by the water with a nice view, good food, and a relaxing atmosphere.
