Our waitress was the star of the show! She was so attentive + so friendly. The ambiance is relaxed and it's in the Ludlow hotel. We had brunch on a weekday morning with no wait. Food: - We thought the loco moco was too salty (the gravy was overpowering) but the eggs + meat were cooked well. Potatoes could have been cooked a bit more. - The pancakes were pretty good - the macadamia nuts on top were a great addition! read more

I wasn't able to make a reservation, the restaurant was not answering the phone. I walked in that same evening and was able to get a table inside the restaurant. It did get a little warm. If you sit on the deck, it's much cooler. There was live music playing, then a DJ started to play later in the night. Very trendy ambience. Good place to come with friends. Our waitress was attentive and quick. Great service. Food: The braised short ribs were tender and flavorful. The mash was filled with spices and perfectly prepared. The brussel sprouts were crispy. I would've preferred a little more fat on the pork belly, but that's just me. The portion size was perfect to share. Sweet and savory dish. read more

It's located in the lobby of the LayLow hotel and it truly is a hideout. Great atmosphere and tucked away in between all the city noise. If you come in the evening, you might even be able to catch some live music. The food was pretty good. I came here twice for breakfast. Here is what I tried: + Laylow Breakfast - Simple breakfast; I chose spam as my choice of protein. Honestly you can't go wrong. It was filling and delicious. + Loco Moco : The wagyu beef patty and mushroom gravy were savory and seasoned well. I'm not sure if it was the patty or the gravy but something was heavy on the black pepper. It wasn't the best loco moco I have ever had but I still enjoyed it. + Buckwheat Pancakes : Pretty good but I wish they were more fluffy. + Laylow "Hawaiian Style" Cold Brew : Light coconut flavor and the macadamia nut cold foam was good. read more

What We Ordered: Mai Tai (happy hour) Highlights: * Service: friendly, able to seat yourself at the bar * Food/Drinks: happy hour Mai tais felt one note to me and pretty weak/ watered down. Not my favorite drink even with the happy hour price. * Ambiance: very cute outdoor seating area that has some areas partially covered and some areas uncovered. Gorgeous bar with lots of seating. Ambience is very aesthetic with the greenery and furniture. * Price: good read more

Stopped to check out their HH and waited for the live music. I stayed for 5 hours!! That says a lot! The food and drinks were great! I had the pork belly Brussels spouts (AMAZING), the garlic fries (Delish) and my friend ordered the spicy edamame and chicken salad bowl. Everything was so good! We also shared the chocolate bread pudding which was yummy. The drinks were consistently good. Old Fashioned and vodka tonics. The live band was also super good!! I had to find her on IG. This place is a must go! read more

I chose this place for the Banana Bread Old Fashioned. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Live music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Over looks Kuhio Ave so there is a lot to see if you are near the edge.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

Probably one of the best places to enjoy a dirty martini or an old fashioned. The ambiance is fantastic, with live music and a great staff that makes you feel truly welcome. I came here twice during my trip -- that's how good it was! A must-try is the truffle fries -- full of flavor, served hot and fresh. The view is another highlight you don't want to miss, and I really appreciated the umbrellas they provide in case of unexpected rain. Highly recommend! read more

To start off, come during dinner time on Sunday because the artist performing live music Jasmin Nicole is . She plays a mix of throwback classics, r&b, reggae, and more and had us jamming all night during dinner. For the food, the HFC appetizer was crispy and had a kick of spice but the flavor and seasoning was super good. I ordered the Mo Bettah burger and it was the perfect burger I needed with the jam inside it was flavorful. I had to try their signature espresso martini and it was pretty good, with a different taste to it due to the macadamia nut foam and it was strong. Our waitress Sarah was really kind and kept refilling our drinks without asking! This spot is definitely a must visit on the waikīkī strip for any visitors. We will be back!! read more

The hideout is a solid spot that won't let you down and will even impress you with a few of its items. Their catch of the day with beurre blanc came cooked in a way that allowed the accompaniments to go together and create a unified taste that leaves you appreciating the dish. For appetizers + Kalua Egg Rolls- the Kalua pork on the island is never a miss, regardless of how it is implemented + Edamame- I know it is just edamame, but if you love spicy, you'll get it Since I stayed at The Laylow, I had the opportunity to swing by for drinks a few times, and they without a doubt have the best mai tai. The monkeypod might argue and say it's them, but their foamy, tasteless drink is far from that. If you prefer to avoid the sweet beverages, well, the "meet me at midnight" will provide the elegance of an old-fashioned with the punch of a Manhattan. The outdoor deck style seating is a beautiful option to have when you're on the island. The service was never bad. read more

Best espresso martini I've had in my entire life - and I've had quite a few. They do a signature macadamia froth which really takes the drink to the next level. Great vibes here. The ambiance really made me feel like I was on vacation without a worry in the world. There was live music when we stopped by Sunday evening and rooftop seating was the perfect place to enjoy the sunset. I would make a reservation to be safe (no cancellation fee). I would highly recommend for large groups and celebrations. We didn't dine in for dinner here but the apps and other drinks we got were amazing too. Sashimi was super fresh! read more

Such a vibe here on the rooftop in Waikiki! Our waitress was incredible giving recommendations and had great energy. A modern bar/restaurant with some live music in the evening. Happy hour was the way to go, we got to try the Mai Tai and their poke tacos. For our meal we had the catch of the day which is so fresh and delicious and the Caesar salad with seared ahi tuna (incredible). The waitress made our meal special with a dessert to celebrate my birthday and it was one of my favorites, lychee gelato. Try to book a reservation if you can because the experience here is great! read more

Hideout - Wonton Poke Tacos Laylow "Hawaiian Style" Mai Tai - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I'm ready for the Hideout to break out as it was truly one of the best dining and drinking experiences that I have enjoyed during my recent stay at Waikiki in Honolulu, Hawaii. Located on the promenade level of The Laylow Waikiki, which serves as an Autograph Collection resort, The Hideout at The Laylow as it is officially known as, basically serves as the hotel's restaurant and bar but upon our own discovery of this establishment, it is so much more, as they serve as a gathering spot for weary travelers looking for one of the best espresso martinis and other festive cocktails, in addition to those who are looking for a great Happy Hour deal, and those who just happen to be staying at the The Laylow Waikiki, and with the pool well cordoned off past the entranceway, the Hideout truly lived up to its name with an quite unassuming patio that overlooked the bustling Kūhiō Avenue without hearing any of the ambient noise that traditionally comes with it. Of the group of visitors we fell into the Happy Hour group that was hungry and arrived just in time looking for a good affordable meal accompanied with a festive local cocktail to pair with it. Upon our arrival, my dining mate and I managed to get lucky and find the two connected seats that were remaining at the bar area. The Happy Hour menu at the Hideout is separated into categories including their signature Combo, which featured their Mai Burger and Mai Tai; two Cocktails; one Wine, four Draft Beers; and plenty of options to eat. They also had an additional beverage menu and lunchtime menu when we visited. To start our meal off right, I ordered their Tropical Sangria which was filled with seasonal flavors, while my dining mate ordered their Happy Hour cocktail, their Blue Hawaiian which was made with Bacardi Coconut, Bacardi Pineapple and Soda Water. To eat, we ordered three items from the eat section of their Happy Hour menu, including their Kalua Egg Rolls, which were filled with Kalua Pork, Island Slaw, and served with a Pineapple Jam dipping sauce; their Kauai Shrimp Dumplings, which were topped with Sweet Chili and Yuzu Chili Butter; and their Wonton Poke Tacos which were made with Ahi Poke and Avocado, and topped with Yuzu; and served with a Mango Salsa. Once we were served our cocktails, I loved the refreshing quality of my Sangria which was the perfect breezy cocktail to enjoy while out on their terrace, but my friend took a brief taste of their Blue Hawaiian and felt it was too sweet for their taste, so they asked to order another cocktail, of which she ordered their So Fetch cocktail which was made with Lalo Tequila, Strawberry Calpico, Basil, Hibiscus and Honey. This new cocktail order was right up their alley and the team did not charge to make the original cocktail, which was a very nice gesture. We enjoyed all three of our Happy Hour food entrées, with the highlight being their Kauai Shrimp Dumplings, which were five of the nicest and tastiest dumplings that either of us have enjoyed in quite some time. We easily could have ordered an additional bowl of these dumplings and could have been satisfied right then and there, but thankfully we were able to enjoy the crunchiness of both their Poke Tacos and Egg Rolls. Staying there for the next couple of hours, we encountered some nice people, including their staff, which included our server/ bartender Taylor who was so pleasant and accommodating, as a couple next to us came in to enjoy their Hideout Signature Espresso Martini, made with Big Island Coffee Roasters Espresso, Pau Maui Vodka, Caffé Borghetti and topped with Macadamia Nut Espresso Foam. It sounded so good and looked even better that my dining mate just had to order one for themselves and was not disappointed as it was a cool creamy blend of coffee and liqueur. Our total bill was $96.33 before gratuity was added in, and it was an enjoyable meal and experience all around. We will be coming back to the hideout to enjoy a nice meal and live music during the warmer months in Waikiki, as this bar and restaurant is a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered by more locals and tourists alike. read more

Hideout was such a vibe! We loved the rooftop setting--the view of the city was beautiful, and the ambiance was perfect with cozy fire pits and a great overall atmosphere. We started with the Kalua pork and rolls, and they were so good--super flavorful and such a great start to the meal. For mains, I had the braised beef short rib bowl and my boyfriend got the pad thai. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection--we were seriously impressed with the quality. This place really had it all--delicious food, a stunning view, and a relaxed, stylish rooftop vibe. We would totally come back on our next trip to Honolulu! read more

Such a cute rooftop spot! The vibes were chill, music was on point, and it wasn't super packed for a Sunday morning (which I loved). I ordered the pork belly skillet -- and wow, it was AMAZING. All the flavors blended perfectly, and the kimchi added the best kick. My boyfriend got the breakfast burrito (and keep in mind he doesn't even like eggs) -- he said it was "okay," lol. Overall, really good vibes, tasty food, and nice options to choose from. Definitely a spot I'd come back to! read more

Drinks: virgin mai tai (super tasty and beautiful with a flower in it), citrus swell, fries. Service: Bartender Aaron was attentive and friendly and made us feel welcome. Ambiance: live music! This is why we came here for before dinner drinks with live music. Clara Stegwell was performing and she has a beautiful sweet voice and plays the guitar. She played songs from different decades that you could recognize and that were easy listening. Just what I was looking for. Really enjoyable. We sat at the bar and you can see the small stage from there. It is all open into a lanai with different chairs for your comfort. They also pipe the music into the inside (and the bathrooms!) so you can hear the music. This was a very relaxing and pretty spot to chill and enjoy a good drink and music. We will definitely return when in Waikiki. Location: inside the Laylow Hotel. Enter from Kuhio St. and take the escalator up. Tip: check their website for events and live music to make sure there's someone performing or not closed off for a special event. read more

What a wonderful hidden gem. It's tucked away on Kuhio, off the beach front but the skyline views and open-air patio are just as good. They have fantastic mai tais and their happy hour was a great way to snack before heading to Cirque du Soleil. I enjoyed the pork egg rolls (especially with the pineapple jam which is sadly not available for purchase - I tried). The whole crew was friendly and just, nice. This would be an excellent spot to become a regular and also for the live music. Can't wait to visit again. read more

The bar is very clean. the menu is not that diverse but extra point to the bartenders for adaptability *asking for drinks thats not on the menu but still making it* .

I always love coming to the hideout. Doesn't matter if it's for breakfast dinner or happy hour the food is always super tasty. I really enjoy their buckwheat pancakes in the morning and love their Kelby beef in the evening. Also that my ties are immaculate and great for a happy hour deal. The music there night is great and they always have local performers playing which I do appreciate as well. The service is usually pretty good yeah it will be a hit or miss when it's really busy which I completely understand. read more

Best bar in the area! The bartenders are all amazing, helpful, and friendly (especially Jeremy, James, and Carson). The breakfast is amazing (try the breakfast sandwich with bacon jam or the short rib breakfast burrito) and so is the dinner (some of the best brussel sprouts). This takes a lot, but after trying a few really good places, I am committed to saying that I like the Hideout's Mai Tai the most out of any others I have tried on the island! The restaurant area is nice and open with plenty of seating and heated lamps to keep you warm at night. The bar is always fun and busy. The best thing is that they offer live DJs and live music everyday...and each of the artists are of great quality and talent! read more

Hideout holds a special place in our hearts as this was the first restaurant we went to celebrate our engagement about 3 years ago. Last night we stopped by again and it was just as amazing as our last visit. The ambiance was amazing from live music to the atmosphere to the food and drinks. Luckily we were able to walk in and sat at the bar which I prefer and Aaron was attentive even though he was busy with making awesome drinks. I tried the Lilikoi martini which was good but too sweet for my liking. The hideout special espresso martini was tasty, I enjoyed the mac nut foam. My husband got beer. As for food we tried the french fries which was seasoned but it gave us heartburn lol. The kalbi bowl was delicious though, the meat was tender, white rice cooked well and the kimchi was good. read more

Hideout is the best way to describe this spot. Waikiki is packed with tourist including us so if you're looking to get away from the crowd but still have a nice view/roof top vibes, the hideout was such a nice getaway. It does get busy at night so I recommend booking a reservation. Since it's more like chill hang out spot, a seated area might be slower than a restaurant. Booking a reservation especially with a larger group could get you a better view too! We didn't order any food but wished we did! We just finished dinner at another location and decided to come here for drinks. The view, the service, the cocktails, live music on a summer night! Even got a sweet treat for my bday and it was so good?!! stop! It was the perfect way to end the night during a travel day. read more

Decent drinks and food but a bit pricey. One star review because the deck/bar area is cockroach infested! We saw several over one inch long roaches crawling all over the deck around us during our visit around 9pm. When we told the waiter he simply shrugged and said that's how it goes in Hawaii, which is BS since we've never seen anything like this in other outdoor establishments. They have a serious roach problem. We stayed at the hotel and were reluctant to use the bar/restaurant during our stay because of this. Utterly disgusting. read more

I loved the hideout for the vibes and the service. I really appreciated them going above and beyond for me on my bday. The cocktails were really good and honestly probably one of the best mai Tais I had while on the island. I will say the coffee was a lil watery and wasn't my fav so I'd skip that. Our food was also just okay but I think everything else made up for it. They also had live music during brunch so I had a lot of fun and it earned an extra star for that! read more

We had breakfast here this morning outside. The tradewinds were blowing but the lanai is well shielded. Today, it was decorated for Christmas and looked lovely! When we were seated by Isabella at a two top of our choosing, we immediately noticed that the table was set with pepper mills. Honestly, just having pepper mills was going to get them a four star review right out of the gate! Food? I had the Loco Moco and my husband had the Hideout Eggs Benedict. The quality of my Loco Moco was unmatched by anything with a fancier name! The hamburger patty was perfectly ground Wagyu beef. It would not surprise me if it was ground in-house as the grind was chewy but melted in your mouth. It was cooked to medium rare which showed off the meat! It was perched atop a beautifully shaped mound of short grain brown rice. The gravy was a demi-glace with dried shitake mushrooms that was just delicious. The over medium eggs were garnished with I think fried panko crumbs, but they were soggy when the dish was presented. Other than that one tiny thing, it was an amazing dish that I loved and would happily order again! My husband's Eggs Benedict sat on an Ube English Muffin that was bright purple. It was a bit unsettling, TBH. The Kahlua Pork was plentiful and flavorful. The eggs were poached perfectly. I didn't get to taste the Hollandaise but he said it was delicious. The star of the plate were the potatoes. They were baby potatoes that had been cooked, then smashed, and either deep fried or roasted. They were a taste sensation! I would have been happy with just a plate full of potatoes. We had the regular drip coffee that was strong and delicious. Each oversized cup was presented on its own plate. It was a very classy presentation! Service? Our server was Melody. She was a delight! She had an awesome sense of humor and a beautiful personality. Her service was professional without being overly fussy. Loved her! We live part-time on the island just about 200' away. We will look forward to coming here often as our special treat! read more
