    We came on a night when there was a special event with a singer I wasn't familiar with and the cover charge was ridiculous. Service was amazing!!! Prices are on the higher side. I really liked the ambiance and vibes! Very intimate and dark. Make sure you're dressed up.

    Intimate and classy jazz bar in Waikiki. Amazing live entertainment every Tuesday - Saturday. I hate drinking coffee, but the espresso martini was pretty good. The drink is on a stronger side. My last visit, they gave us complimentary salted seeds and mixed honey nuts to pair with our drinks. They also have complimentary valet parking, all you have to do is tip the driver.

    It's been a while since my last review, but it's still my top favorite lounge. I especially like Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when Tommy James plays the piano. He's not only an amazing musician but also got interesting stories to tell ;) Other things I love: being able to request songs (depending on the musician), carefully crafted cocktails, wonderful wines, and small snack that comes with drinks :) Lastly, I truly appreciate the elegant and sophisticated atmosphere, as well as attentive service of their staff.

    This place teleports you back to what you imagine a nighttime lounge on the Titanic to have been like. From the decor to the live music and dress code, this all comes together to live up to the atmosphere they must have envisioned they wanted to set. The drinks were artfully spirit-forward, and the bites/desserts were crafted to match the sophistication of everything else around you. The live music was a pianist who also sang and a cellist. The music leveled to a decibel that still left room for conversation if that was what you were there for. Service was good, and they allowed their patrons to be who they wanted to be for the night. All around, it's a great spot that can take care of a craving for big-city swankiness.

    I have been coming to the Halekulani Hotel since right after it opened, over 40 years ago. My ex and I used to stay there when we came to town. Every time I come into town I go to the Lewers Lounge to have a sophisticated cocktail and listen to music. I have always lived it there, and never miss going a few times when I'm in Waikiki- which is fairly often. Saturday I stopped in, and when I got there, the hostess gave me a look up and down, then stated they had "no room for me"- although there was an empty seat at the bar. She said to come back, but "she wouldn't guarantee me a seat." When I came back the hostess wasn't at the front, so one of the servers sat me. A few moments later, I saw the hostess come out from the back, see me, and do an about face. I am assuming that she went to ask who had had the nerve to seat me. After that, none of the servers would come my way or look my way. After about 15 minutes I left. I felt a bit like Vivian in the Pretty Woman scene! Trust me when I say I was more than appropriately dressed for the Halekulani, in a dress with heels. This really rubbed me the wrong way, so the next day I stopped in, asked for the manager and told him what had happened. He said that he would speak with the hostess- but that was it. I was really disappointed all the way around that their hostess (who wasn't your most attractive nor fit person herself) would pass some sort of negative judgement on a patron, and Halekulani would do noting to make it right

    Wow what an amazing experience. Halekulani means "House Befitting Heaven," and Lewers lounge really just transports you to a different world. Legit felt like I was in a movie. Everyone was dressed up (as per dress-up guidelines.). My drink was non-alcoholic and a new addition called "Japanese Folk Song." I loved this one how it was a balance between salty and sweet. I also love how it was a virgin drink because I was out here to be demure, and I ain't about the alcoholic life. The Kona Espresso Tiramisu was a winner and devoured that ish in a few minutes. Definitely would come back here again with friends. I got to sit at the counter due to the popularity of this space. Will definitely make a reservation to get a table next time and stay longer to chill. This place is also like.. hella romantic. I think this would be a really good girls' night out or date night. As for myself, Imma be out here with my gang to have fun lol

    A must for jazz lovers! Whenever I'm visiting Honolulu, I live in Hilo, Lewars is my go to spot for a cool, classy vibe and exceptional music. Astonishing musical talent 7 nights a week including the extraordinary pianist Tommy James. No more dress code but shoes not sandals are required. Very hip, sophisticated scene, The only true jazz venue in Honolulu. Highly recommended!

    Left to right: Open-faced baguette, cheese plate, Paper Doll (teacup), Take 5, Moonglow.

    I love live music and fancy cocktails. Went here for my birthday for an excuse to dress up, and ate way more than I planned to. The Paper Doll cocktail was an unexpected hit. And the desserts were so beautiful it was hard to eat.

    Classy, upscale place where you can listen to amazing Jazz. Quite the little gem in Waikiki of all places. Rocky, the saxophonist is very talented and played each piece beautifully. He's one of our favorite musicians in Hawaii. Highly recommend for the live music alone. Cocktails - the menu has changed since we last came here and the prices have increased as well. I will say the 2 cocktails we ordered (Smoke Rings and Paper Doll) were well-made and complex in flavor. They are pretty steep in price considering it's $24/per speciality cocktail. There's a slightly cheaper option for $22. It's priced appropriately for Waikiki, considering its inside Halekulani Resort and the free live music included with your experience. I recommend the Tawney ports or red wines if you're not in the cocktail mood. The manager seemed to be MIA this time, as there were lines of people waiting to be seated but we were all ignored for a while. I remember a male manager who worked there before who was very efficient and had a waiting list. They might want to go back to that method to make things run smoother. They also didn't enforce their strict dress code rules this time around, so we are unsure whether they still require that anymore? I hope things are more organized next time we come back!

    Very classy place. Strict dress code. Though I highly recommend the place. Service is great.

    What a fun place to be at night! Honolulu was dumping rain this evening I came with my family and fortunately we found Lewers Lounge open with a pianist playing wonderful tunes as we had a cocktail or two. Please be mindful to come dressed in nice, casual formal attire meaning no board shorts, graphic shirts or flip flops. They do provide a button up shirt for gentlemen ;) what a nice touch. The drinks are well done- worth every penny. So many crafty cocktails to try! I honestly do not have a favorite. Desserts and appetizers are also delicious, especially the coconut cake. There's also bar nuts to snack on. Plenty of seating from lounge chair setting for 2, a couch setting for 4 or simply mixing the two to get a setting for 6. Service was great- our waitress remembered every drink order! Amazing. She was very attentive and kind. Definitely recommend this place for a nice night cap

Thankfully, Michael and his team were able to accommodate us, which I really appreciated. From the moment we walked in, the place had a great vibe, the interior is beautiful. Throughout the night, the staff and Michael (the owner) were incredibly welcoming, funny and attentive. The cocktails were amazing. I had the expressing my love all night and even though the place was busy and there was a bit of a wait for food, it was honestly worth it. We had the crab dynamite, the ahi brioche, and the prosciutto and burrata. SO GOOD! My friends and I had such a great time and will definitely be back.

Tucked on the second floor of a Piikoi Parkway building, it feels like stepping back in time, a true bespoke bar with vintage art, moody lighting, and comfy couches that make it perfect for couples or a night out with friends. We sat at the bar, which was a highlight, Michael and Tony were welcoming, easy to talk story with, and clearly know their craft. 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. Prices are on point for the quality and experience you're getting. It's a bit of a hidden, hip spot, not for a quick drink but for when you want to sit, relax, and enjoy it. Parking is tight, but you can park at Ala Moana and walk over, and it's worth it. Next time we're coming back for Grandma's Old Fashioned and the pork belly bao buns. This isn't a bar you stumble into, it's one you come back to.
