    There wasn't anything that I loved about this espresso martini, except the great server who brought it to me!
    diana h.

    I was really disappointed on my first visit to The Hideout. The only reason I can give it 4*'s is due to the amazing service from Ciera and the lovely ambience. The food was tasty but the drinks were not... We ordered the warm beet salad, fries and the short ribs. Others ordered their burger, and enjoyed them! Sadly no one enjoyed their cocktails. My lemon drop martini tasted like watered down lemonade shaken with ice and a splash of vodka. Definitely didn't taste like fresh squeezed lemon juice! Not sure if this was just a bad night with their usual bartenders or new help, but we will try again.

    Our go to spot for hotel and mai tais and all! Alvin, Jeremy and the amazing bartenders are always consistent and taking care of us! Food is amazing! Must try the Brussels sprouts. Ambiance is so cute at night. Live music every night.

    Sampler Platter if Edamame with chili sauce on side, ahi poke tacos, kalua egg rolls, and pork belly Brussels sprouts.

    10/10 experience. Customer service was on point and food/drinks came out quick. They had a musician playing live music which was very calming and since she was playing covers it was fun to guess what song it was. The food was exceptional. You can really taste the quality of the Wagyu patty, and the chili garlic sauce that came with the edamame was bangin, I put it on everything.

    Service and music were great! They use a QR code menu so to me finding a drink I wanted was not simple. We had the chocolate bread pudding was delicious and we really enjoyed the vibe!

    Celebrated a birthday dinner here. For a party of 12, reservations are highly recommended. This restaurant is on the rooftop bar of The Laylow hotel, Waikiki. Serving Hapa cuisine and craft cocktails. Love their interior. Unfortunately it was raining when we were here so the lounge area was wet. Very laid back lanai vibes. They even had a live DJ. We made it to happy hour so we tried to order a little of everything on the menu to share. The Laylow Maitai was highly recommended, so we got a few of those. Crispy pork belly brussels sprouts - delish! Mainlander burger - good! Shrimp dumplings - okay. Truffle fries & Hideout fries - good! Chicken karaage - so good, got 2! Poke tacos - good! Kalbi beef plate - fave! For our keiki, she enjoyed their butter pasta. Honestly, I almost ordered one myself. Great dining experience. Friendly staff. Cost was reasonable since we made it to HH for half of our meal. Check it out!

    Hideout is a nice large updated open space which you can access from the street by going up the escalator at the Laylow hotel. The decor is fresh and welcoming and offers a wide range of comfortable seating options. Servers and staff are calm, friendly and helpful. Hideout has one of the longest happy hours, daily 1-5pm, offering a wide selection of discounted foods and drinks.

    Ultraviolet cocktail

    Hideout has been my go to for years - since before I moved to Hawaii. I used to stay at the hotel a lot and got to know the bar tenders who were always super friendly and on top of things. Vibes are hard to beat. Only slight downside is the live music can be a bit too loud sometimes. Musicians are always great though. I always get the same thing - the Mo Bettah burger. I crave it when it's been too long. Their rotating cocktails are always spectacular and well balanced. The one I had last night (photo featured) was an ultraviolet and had a very unique flavor - very tasty.

    Hideout for dinner was a total vibe! The live music was so much fun! It did start to rain a little outside but that didn't stop us from Enjoying the evening and the food! Steak was great !!!

    Taro Veggie burger and spicy fries (back) and seasonal vegetables with tofu and noodles (front)... both were 10/10!!!
    Chelsea Laine H.

    What a wonderful gem in the middle of busy Waikiki! Wish we had found it sooner so could have eaten there each night, ha As vegetarians we, surprisingly, haven't had the best luck with finding fresh and quality food in Honolulu... until we visited Hideout. It's above street level and is an open air concept with some tables fully covered from the sun, some semi covered, and other tables fully in the sun. The decor is modern and lush tropical with plants all over Our server was very friendly and helpful with the menu and options. We felt so welcomed and relaxed in the lovely space I had the seasonal vegetables which came with noodles and ginger crusted tofu. It was so fresh and delicious! I added avocado, too. Would get this dish over and over if I lived here. My husband had the housemade taro veggie burger and the spicy seasoned French fries. He said it was one of the best veggie burgers he's ever had. The fries were also very good.., I may or may not have tried... many of them :) For drinks we had a non-alcoholic beer and an ice tea. While we didn't have a cocktail the bar was well stocked with quality liquors and the drinks they were making all looked great Will definitely be coming back next time we're in town!

    Luau and Artichoke Dip, with Maui Onion Wonton Chips
    Dan D.

    A true cocktail bar, with a decent enough kitchen attached to it. I wanted to talk with the bartenders about the drinks, be transported by the live music, and customize a couple cocktails for the mood I was in. The staff here is working hard. Many Waikīkī restaurants are staffed by people projecting and living the island vibe. Hideout's bartenders, highlighted by James and Jeremy, kept my club soda topped off while I wasn't looking, and listened to my drink feedback to pick the right bourbon and guide my food choices. They also had a regular in that night who visits 5X/year - they knew what she wanted and put in the order invisibly when she sat down. The espresso martini is not to be missed, and worth its "best of island" award. You also do need to try the Mai Tai here - flavorful, bold, and strong but not spirit-forward. With live music every night, it's tempting to stop by again and again. If I'd had better food it'd be a slam dunk recommendation. I was not about this play on spinach and artichoke dip that I got, but I ate it; they were definitely willing to swap it out if I'd insisted. That's good service. On my last night and third visit to the bar, Jeremy made a strawberry lily koi lemon drop just for me, based on my request for something "fruity and acidic". It was lights out.

    Hideout has become one of my favorite little places to go in town. We always have a pleasant experience as the staff is always friendly. We typically sit at the bar and order food and drinks there. There can be a wait at times for tables, so if you're comfortable sitting at the bar, then I'd suggest that. FYI, the chairs at the bar don't accommodate those with larger hips as well as those that don't have the curves. The barstools are designed with a snugger metal backing/arm rest, so there isn't much room. I typically order the espresso martini, which is my favorite and you can't go wrong! We ordered the lamb chop, dumplings, and Thai noodles (spicy). Every dish was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend the dumplings and lamb chop. I'm not a fan of spicy, but the flavor of the noddles was great. Looking forward to coming back!

    Banana bread old fashioned
    J S.

    I chose this place for the Banana Bread Old Fashioned. Cool vibe, but if you are flying solo like I was, the bar is crowded so you may end up around a fire pit with others. Live music. Over looks Kuhio Ave so there is a lot to see if you are near the edge. Server was prompt. I ordered the Mo Better burger. So good. Bun was soft and buttery. Added bacon. Old Fashioned was great as well. I ordered a second drink (Mai Tai) and it took a bit (20 minutes) to come out. That's the only negative comment I can make). Bill was $80.

    Ube Panna Cotta
    Arabella N.

    Stumbled upon this "rooftop" bar in Waikiki after wanting some drinks after dinner. There was live music (really good!) and lots of lounge seating. We only waited about 5 minutes on a Wednesday night. Our waitress was very nice and helped us choose our drinks all night and didn't disappoint! We ordered a fried rice (not pictured), ube panna cotta (delish!) and a bunch of drinks! As yummy as everything was, we did pay a pretty penny for our bill. Along with a big group we had automatic gratuity added. We could have found a cheaper alternative but for what we had we did have a good time. I would return!

    Ask the Community - Hideout

    Does it have a great view of the sun set?

    Not at all.

    Do they require reservations for large groups?

    Yes

    Are kids (age 1 and 2) allowed?

    Yes! there were lots of kids, even very young ones) when I was there recently

    The online menu says they have "mimosas for the table" at Sunday brunch. Is that still offered? I don't see it mentioned in anyone's reviews which seems unusual.

    Hideout recently brought brunch service back since the pandemic. Mimosas for the table is a new addition to the Sunday brunch menu, which is why you may not see reviews about it. Hope this helps!

    Do you still serve the same Bloody Mary's with the bacon that you used to serve?

    Yes!

    What days and times do they have live music?

    6-9 every night is whats stated

    Is the vibe of this place too young for seniors? I need a family friendly place for dinner with my aunties, in their 60s and 70s

    It is a bit trendier on weekend nights but totally doable with your aunts. The dinner food was good, breakfast not so much. It is a pretty chilled out place with nice music and they have firepits incase your aunts get cold.

    So my truck is lifted and my wheels are kinda wide do they let you just leave your vehicle upfront or someone takes it and drives it somewhere?

    You might want to call the hotel and check my answer, but we felt their valet garage was tight and cramped. It sounds like your truck would be a tight fit. I'm pretty sure you can park at the International Marketplace which is right next door.… Read more

    Are you open for breakfast and if so what time? Is It possible to make reservations?

    Only the coffee place was open and you can sit anywhere

    Where do you park?

    There's valet in front of the hotel. It's located next to escalator. The Hideout can validate yr ticket.

    What are their Happy Hour times?

    First hour of opening, 5-6pm

    Do they do takeout?

    Yes they do!!!

Ill have to go back to sample there food and update my review later.

    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.

He has been a fan of Johnny Valentine and said he was playing at the Mai Tai Bar in the Royal Hawaiian. The Bar is located in the back patio area that faces the beach. Arriving at 6:30pm, there was a line to be seated and when we were seated, we were at a nice table facing the beach, but we were on the opposite side where the stage Johnny was performing. Also, we were next to the bar and it was quite noisy. After ordering our drinks, which I got the Royal Sunset Ale, we spotted a table near the stage and asked our waitress if we could move there. She checked and said we could move there. It was a nice center table about 20ft from the stage and we could hear Johnny perform without the bar noise. Johnny is Hawaii's premier entertainer, who is Bruno Mars' uncle, is known for his vocal range and guitar skills. He performed Hawaiian songs and had a hula dancer on stage with him and he covered popular songs. He also came by our table during an intermission and graciously took pictures with us. Mai Tai Bar is not only a bar but a restaurant too, so it did have food offerings as well. The servers were friendly and efficient. It was a nice evening to cap off our vacation with a nice evening of music and drinks.
