Highly recommend their espresso martini, probably one of the best I've ever had! Two bars in one. One typically turns into music / dj space, while the other has games and a pool table. Bar service is typically quick and speedy, with lots of workers present.

Their staff stalked me. Found me on Instagram. And now is harassing me in my comments. Quality people.

EDIT: Now I'm getting cyber bullied by the staff on my Instagram. See pic. -- I had an absolutely horrible experience at Manifest. The music was extremely loud from the moment we walked in. We even joked with the bouncer that we probably wouldn't last long because of the volume. I went toward the booth area just trying to figure out where the DJ was so I could politely ask if it could be turned down a little. Instead, I was yelled at by the bartender, patronized in front of other guests, and told I needed to apologize, even though I was just trying to ask a simple question. Then the DJ proceeded to call me out and mock me in front of everyone for wanting the music quieter. I have never cried in a bar or club before, much less because of people I do not know who work there. It was humiliating and completely unnecessary. I was there with friends on vacation and ended up crying before we even finished our drinks. The only person who was kind was the bouncer, who helped calm things down. Staff should be trained to handle simple customer requests with basic professionalism and empathy. A guest asking about music volume should not be yelled at, mocked by the DJ, or embarrassed in front of the room. Clearer boundaries around the DJ booth and better communication from staff would also help prevent situations like this. Really disappointing experience. We left feeling upset, embarrassed, and completely unwelcome

Manifest is a bit of a versatile space. For starters, it goes between a cafe, bar, and nightclub depending on the day and time. They do have some events throughout the week, including Pub Trivia and Karaoke on Thursday evenings, and live music and dj sessions during the weekend. I personally come here every Thursday for the Sporcle Pub Trivia at 6:30 PM because the vibes are just that good! Drinks are fantastic! Tyson the bartender does a fantastic job every time I come by. I highly recommend the espresso martinis as they use local coffee and you can't beat a $12 espresso martini. They also have a great variety of spirits and beers. As for food, their kitchen is closed at this time but they do allow outside food; Pizza Mamo and The Daley are both within a minute's walk from here, for example. Parking is typical for Chinatown; your options are street parking or municipal parking. They also have art pieces up from local artists that are on sale. It's a great stop along a pub crawl on Hotel St. Overall, it's one of the places I visit most can't recommend enough if you're looking for a casual, no-frills vibe!

Karaoke Night

We loved karaoke night on Thursday. Great vibes. Fun time. Excellent service too. I had the drink, Funshine. The MC, Keanu Reid, was great fun, too!

This place is all about good vibes! And I love it! [Location] Manifest is in Chinatown so parking can be tricky and you have to be aware of your surroundings. Manifest is worth the trip downtown. This place is a chill cafe in the AM, and a trendy bar in the PM. I visited on a Friday night. There was a friendly security guard at the door who checked bags and IDs. Made me feel safe. Not sure if they have a restroom on-site, but I think they do. [Ambiance] The best kind of energy. The type that reminds your you're young and have so much to live for! Live music. Eccentric art on the walls. Christmas lights and beyond-cool bartenders. The staff is amazing. They make you feel welcomed and care for, but in a comfortable kind of way. Lots of places to sit but also room for people to stand&mingle or even dance. Be warned: This place can get loud, which can be fun. But may not be to everyone's tastes. [Drinks] I ordered an espresso martini and it was smooth and dangerous. I couldn't tell there was any alc in the drink! It was delicious and classy. Made me feel like a true adult. Definitely recommend it. They have all sorts of other crafted drinks for super reasonable prices! My drink only cost $12. I'm more wanting than ever to grab a coffee from here in the morning. Overall, Manifest is one of the many gems of Downtown Honolulu. Will be back, and highly recommend!

Incredible vibe, incredible employees. Truly feels like i'm in Cheers when i come here. Specifically, Julia and Tanner are incredible, thoughtful bartenders... plus their espresso martini in so good during happy hour

Came here before a flight around lunch time to grab a quick bite and a drink and I was immediately sad I didn't come here more during my trip. They have DJs in the evenings, not sure what that scene was like but I imagine it would be a vibe to check out especially cuz the drinks are so good. Hina was our bartender and her drinks were on point :) will def be back when we visit again. Cocktails: 5/5 Food: 4/5

I went there for a drink on the first Friday this time, and started really digging this place. There was a live jazzy rap band playing and I noticed artworks on the wall that I didn't realize last time. That's definitely my vibes. I didn't get to eat the food again but oh well next time. The bartender was excellent and he made a nice drink for me just like last time. I appreciate the consistency of the service and quality. Ya dig?

Breathe...then Manifest an escape from adulting. Tucked in downtown on S Hotel Street is The Manifest and stumbling along this place had piqued my curiosity as I've heard about this place which instantly manifested signs of interest. Walking in the industrial lofty vibe is quite stunning as the brick walls with bare floors to string lights and red lanterns as the Lunar New Year is approaching it give such a spacious chill vibe and as you make your way to the back the which I almost thought was an outdoor area is actually a plastic corrugated like material so the sun beams through creating a stunning natural light that just shines bright for yet another unique decor all under one roof. Everyone has chosen their own place and since I was just passing though for a break as downtown doesn't really have a place for that I was so pleasantly surprised how relaxing it was as soon as I entered and actually had to use the bathroom which was in the back was no issue. Grateful to wash up and relax I sat at the bar to see what they have to offer. Impressive drink menu with categories from House Cocktails, Featured Classics, Beer, Wine and yes Coffee. Many I've heard do come here for coffee as they use local Waialua beans as I scanned this section I noticed "Espresso Martini" (Vodka, Cynar, Espresso and Demerara) I just had to have and wow it was very delightfully light "tasting" this darling little drink packs a punch and got me "happy" pretty fast but what a stunning presentation! I needed something to pair with my drink and as I scanned a pretty decent sized menu filled with many bar type of snacks from Chips and Hurricane Popcorn to Wedge Salad, Housemade Meatballs to Bahn Mi which I decided to have Vegan Pesto Aioli Bahn Mi to be exact. A vegan veggie ball is topped with house made cucumber, red onion and Serrano pickles with vegan Mac nut pesto sprinkled with the load of cilantro all stuffed in a baguette. Short of stuffing it with too much cilantro for my personal preference this sammy was just a light and refreshing bite that perfectly compliments my drink. The vibe here is just so perfect for all weather you're working or escaping, reconnecting or just taking a break, Manifest is a bar, cafe and nightclub follow them on Instagram @themanifest for their manifest as they regularly host various events. Thank you!

This was such a breath of fresh air from the touristy Waikiki crowd. Whenever I come to the islands, I always want to find a new spot that mostly locals enjoy. We were recommended this bar by some guys we met at the beach who had been living there for a few years, and we honestly loved it. We're from the Bay Area in CA, so when we heard the music we usually do and saw the younger crowd, we were in there like swimwear. Wish I could've gone another night, but overall the bartenders are quick, the DJ (at least the night I went) kept the crowd goin, and the vibe of the whole spot was really laid back, but pretty!

Inside
Kristina C.

Good vibes and good drinks? What more could you ask for? Located in Chinatown is Manifest! My friends and I had a fantastic night, and we would not mind coming back here again for a good time! The atmosphere of the place is a 10/10! It's very lively, and there is also a bar hidden in the back where you can also order drinks! They have a decent-sized dance floor, but there aren't many tables inside (which might be because of COVID restriction). The night that we went on was super packed! And the Dj was BLASTING the music! But it was such a vibe, and we all had a lot of fun! As for drinks, I normally don't order lemon drops, but oh my god, do they make the best ones. I remember one night I thought I would try something new, then get just a neat shot. So, I looked into a lemon drop because I like tart and sweet things. The bartenders whipped up the perfect ratio of lemon juice, simple syrup, and vodka. It didn't taste overly sweet or too overwhelming from the alcohol! It was the perfect balance of tart and sweet! Overall, The drinks were delicious, and the service was fast! It is a little pricy, but they do use a lot of quality liquor for their bar! I can't wait to come back here again and have a good time with some friends!

Rolled her eyes and left. Waited maybe 10-15 more minutes and we ultimately got up and left. During this time span, we saw her come out and take orders for other tables, bring them their drinks, and even come back for a second round for them. It was very unfortunate, especially considering we were some of the only POC there.

Treated it as a dessert and it was creamy in the middle and crunchy on top. The center was like a custard filling. Service was not great but she was trying. I think she may have been new, the things she was saying just needed some polish and refinement. She tried to check in periodically but kept forgetting us. Even mentioning the bacon on the salad I think the response was "oh man I don't know what's up with that". Lol! I would have taken a slice of bacon to crumble myself but nothing was offered. Overall I'd come back for the fries, drinks and French toast!

Unfortunately, due to a recent building power outage that greatly impacted them, our reservations had to be cancelled, and we couldn't reschedule for dates that worked for us.

They were full of depth, well-balanced, smooth, and just delicious, even for a non-whisky drinker like me! The prices were also not outrageous given the drinks' presentation and the bar's reputation. They're pretty comparable to what you'd pay for drinks at a mid-upscale restaurant, but at BLA, you're getting a whole different level of taste and craft. We were a party of 4, and we each ordered different drinks so we could all sample them. We ended up ordering quite a few haha. My favorite of the night was definitely their signature Leather Soul, and again, I don't even like whisky! That's how good it was. We also ordered some of their small bites, including the bread and butter and smoked salmon. Both were great bites to complement the drinks. The servers were all so nice and attentive.

That's a shame because it has the potential to be very good. When you start with a cocktail concept that is deliberately kept low key with no signage, and a drink menu that rotates and evolves, you have a pretty good floor to start. Having a cozy place to settle in and being able to enjoy food from Chris Kajioka should give 430 Pkwy a high ceiling. If you like an espresso martini try something a little different. Their Espressing My Love batches espresso with Averna, black walnut bitters, and a unique monkeypod syrup. Unfortunately, there is no espresso machine so you cannot get fresh drawn espresso to make a Carajillo the way Cafe Miro use to. The ahi brioche is a carry over from all Chris Kajioka places. The grilled cheese is excellent. Hotdogs are kicked up - it used to be a black truffled miso chicken sausage but the current one is a little different. The problem is the food preparation totally undermines the whole place. Without a separate kitchen you have frying being done just a few feet away from where cocktails are made. If you sit on the right side of the bar you will quickly understand why this doesn't work. I would come here more frequently if i didn't have to smell like cooking oil afterwards. Fix that problem and this place would rock.

Apparently you're normally supposed to put a coin in to open the secret door, but it's broken right now, so the whole vending machine just swings right open. Slightly less secret, but still very cool. Inside is where this place really shines. Moody lighting, a giant orange tree in the middle of the room, Japanese hip hop playing in the background (I want to steal this entire playlist), and extremely cool and friendly servers and bartenders. I've been to a few other attempted "speakeasies" in Honolulu, but most are basically just dark bars with a fun door or code word. Wild Orange actually has the VIBES to make the whole concept work. Definitely worth coming just to hang out and chill. They have a full bar and an extensive specialty cocktail menu. Tried the Purple Dragon, made with ube liqueur and coconut cream. Very sweet--a little TOO sweet for my taste--but tasty and pretty. Probably should have listened to the menu and kept it as a shot, but I wanted something I could sip on for a while and chill. The Umeshu Highball was also very pretty and tasty. My friend who works as a sake distributor was impressed with their selection of good sake, so of course we had to order a bottle. Our server brought it out in an ice bucket, kept it off to the side, and completely served it for us throughout. Very classy. The food menu is fun and creative, but unfortunately not really for me because it's entirely vegan. Most times, but ESPECIALLY when I'm drinking, I want MEAT. Tried the Wild Musubi, a vegan Spam musubi. I'm not actually sure what the "meat" was. Possibly fried tofu? Whatever it was, it was definitely a passable alternative, but would have been 100x better if it were just plain old Spam. It also falls victim to what I find is a common problem with vegan attempts at Japanese food: anything teriyaki ends up being way too treacly sweet without actual meat or seafood to ground it in reality. Also tried the Char Siu Tofu Bao, fried tofu in a red Chinese-style char siu sauce on fluffy white buns. Again, fun and certainly not bad, but these would be 1000x better with actual pork. If Wild Orange had this exact same creative food menu but carnivore edition, this place would probably be 7/5 stars for me. That being said, I know being vegan will actually be a huge draw for some people, and I appreciate that the food is creative rather than just the usual sad vegan afterthoughts. Parking is pretty easy by Honolulu standards. It's inside Hawaiian Brian's, so there's a large shared parking lot. That being said, you might still have trouble finding a spot during peak gym hours since you're competing with all the 24 Hour Fitness customers. All in all, I LOVE this place. Definitely a fun stop--first, middle, only, or nightcap--on a chill night out. Will absolutely be adding Wild Orange into the rotation of places to bring out-of-town guests when I want to impress them with something cool and different. The vegan menu probably means it'll be a couple-times-a-year place for me rather than a regular haunt. But for drinks, service, atmosphere, and pure VIBES? 20/10.

What we thought was a pawn shop turned out to be... a speakeasy?!…read more What a lovely surprise. A gem of a find! I will never forget this experience. I was just skipping around town exploring wanting to check-in to as many places as I could like the responsible Yelp elite that I am and then I find this amazing hole on the wall speakeasy. The lovely gentleman in the front welcomed us in to take a look around and I asked him if I could take photos for yelp and he told me that if I was going to write a review, I had to join them. So of course, I took the invite and decided to stay for a little while. We sat at a nice area. A perfect little place. I just want to take a snapshot and keep it in my memory so I can emulate it and turn it into my home study. I could stay here forever. The vibes were on point. The server recommended drinks that he thought we would like, and we loved both of them.

We also shared a $15 charcuterie graze. 10 out of 10 would recommend being curious and opening doors to finding out that there's a speakeasy randomly in an area you never thought would be there. What an amazing experience.

This spot is the place to be in Waikiki! Definitely make a reservation because this place fills up…read morefast, especially later into the night. What surprised me most was how good the food was for the price. Usually spots with this kind of atmosphere rely on the drinks to carry the experience, but every dish actually delivered. The chicken karaage was crispy and packed with flavor, the beef takoyaki disappeared almost instantly, and the taro chips with mascarpone were such a unique combination. Between the cocktails, food, service, and atmosphere, everything just worked.

This bar did not disappoint. It not only had great drinks, but the vibes were high. The best way to…read moredescribe my experience is: imagine entering the 36 Chambers, and the first thing they hand you is a double fish of highballs We had such a great time with the drinks, the vibes, and the friendly staff that after our initial visit, we brought another friend group two days later. The drinks are crafted with care, and all of them were hits. I would highly recommend either the Cantaloop or the Sticky Fingaz. Bangers left and right. A perfect bar for a millennial who enjoys a great DJ set alongside even better drinks.

Cocktail tastes to new heights! First time here and I really…read moreloved the vibes coming in. Entire vinyl wall full of great music and area you can play and listen to music. The cocktails that are served are also extra delicious. They all sound super funky, but I challenge you to try them all. It was a mixed bags of flavors that cater to a lot of different taste buds. There would be one I really like, but my friend wouldn't like it. Then she would like the next one, and I wouldn't like it. It wasn't an overall standard, it was how the drink mixed with the persons taste buds. That was something I enjoyed. I could sit at this bar for ages and just have the bartenders make me what ever they want. Also the bartenders listen to options and keys that you like. I let one of them know I like a mezcal smoky, but give me something different then the usual. He gave this amazing mix that I honestly couldn't describe, but I for sure loved it. Can't wait to take more of my friends and try all the cocktails again!
