I came here last weekend. It was my first time visiting Hawaii and unfortunately I got my ID confiscated at the door because the bouncer said it was a fake ID (which it is not, I'm turning 27). I had to call 911 because they refused to give me my ID back. I ran into a couple of other people who were also over age and having the same exact problem. It honestly seemed like the police were annoyed as well. Their exact words were "Apparently the bouncers don't feel like doing their job tonight" I would like to point out that there was no actual validation of real or fake IDs. No scanner. Nothing they could do to prove it was fake other than a "feeling?". It was really jarring to have my drivers license confiscated because if I didn't call the police to get it back I would have no valid ID to drive and also fly back to the mainland. This has never happened to me before. I wouldn't encourage you to go here for a good time. This whole ordeal ruined my night. read more

The best bar staff , friendly, knowledgeable and happy to be there. I was there on professional business and was already reaching for my ID and I politely introduced myself to the bouncer that I booked there that evening. And in a Sarcastic Dry non eye contact response , I got " I Still have to see your ID. No official welcome and had an attitude like I was trying to avoid happily complying or we were at CCC and he was in corrections. Since I was on the clock I had ice coffee served in a clear capped TO GO container. We were stopped OUTSIDE after walking a few seconds, and we hear HEY by the same dry guard saying we can't leave with "that" He was about 20 feet from his post sitting and I found it dumb for 2 reasons. Have manners at least once ,address me with simple respect. He didn't get up just raised his voice to avoid politely walking and asking us a redundant question ( why have to go cups with liquor if they never do that) Chinatown is a tough area but I've visited McDonald's in Seattle with friendlier guards for the first impression. That being said they are a great bar read more

What a truly interesting spot that gives you a lot of choices. For example, if you're in the mood for a nice cup of coffee then the next thing that you want a different drink from the bar now. I also love the comfort and relaxing vibe of this place which it's another hidden gem in chinatown. I even dig the interior space with a lot of seating where you would feel more comfortable in your own personal space too. I always get my usual caffeine fix for a cup of iced mocha which it was very well prepared for myself! It wasn't too overwhelming with sugar so it was perfectly balanced with some hint of chocolate and coffee. I even ordered a custom drink from the bar afterwards which it's called White Russian. It was definitely another happy drink that was being prepared with the right ingredients. Everything was pretty affordable from my side. Although I never had a chance to explore their food menu yet but I'll definitely give it a shot on my next visit for sure. The staff was super friendly and gave me a kind welcome then was waiting patiently for me in order for me to make a quick decision at the bar. The bartender even carried a nice cup of cold water then my drinks to my table without having me to ask for it. read more

Manifest - iced mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Started going to chinatown to find good vibes recently, I accidentally bumped into the bouncer once and apologized, no harm no foul, once my friend accidentally bumped into him, the bouncer started pushing my friend (skinny as a twig) full force and kept yelling "I'm going to knock you the F*** out" despite my friend trying to apologize, at this point, the bouncer kept getting closer to him as if he was being provoked by my friend when he was genuinely sorry for bumping into him. I had to grab my friend and rush him out because there was no reasoning with this guy. I had some good times at Manifest but they truly showed me the type of people they hire, not every big guy can be a bouncer! read more

Sad to say my review from 3 years ago is still pretty accurate. Manifest has maintained its consistency- consistent in quality drinks and consistent in un-satisfactory service. Cons: customer service needs MAJOR improvement. We entered on a weekday afternoon when there were no other customers. The female worker looked up, then looked back down. No welcome. (She did the same thing when another customer walked in and ended up walking back out probably sensing the cold welcome). We sat down to wait for another friend. After 10 minutes still no acknowledgement from the worker. I made my way up to the bar and spotted some menus and brought it back to our table. At this point we've been there for almost 20 minutes. The courteous thing would have been for the worker to acknowledge us and ask if we had questions or if we were ready to order. My friends and I each walked up to the bar to place the order and were told we need to show our IDs. After placing our order we sat back down. We didn't even know our drinks were ready until we looked up and saw them sitting on the counter. I guess the only positive note is that we were given waters without having to ask. The restroom has no soap dispenser despite a sign that says "Employees must wash hands before returning to work". That disgusted me. Pros: the drinks were well made and I would highly recommend each one. The ambiance is also great. And they have some interesting artwork on the walls. Happy hour daily from 6pm is another plus. I'd like to return to Manifest again, but the terrible customer service prevents me from going back. read more

We stumbled on this bar walking around downtown on Saturday morning waiting for another restaurant to open at 11a. This place was open so we came in for coffee. We were the only ones there and they had a pretty good bar food menu. So we decided to eat here instead. The ambience is great - feels like a really hip bar in New York. The deviled eggs were delicious. They have different flavored meatballs but I only tried the chorizo and they were super tasty and filling. The wedge salad was bigger than I expected but was also fresh and yummy. I never knew this place existed but it's great place to chill. The price is right and I want to come back later in the day for cocktails. Best deal for parking is in the municipal parking on Beretania. Otherwise meter parking is $3/hr max 2 hours. read more

Manifest - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

An aesthetically pleasing cafe by day and a lively bar by night. During the day, I come here for a quick caffeine fix with a few of my coworkers. I can confidently say that I have tried every single item on the coffee drink menu and I have a few favorites. Before, I religiously drank the lavender latte but now my favorite is a dirty chai. According to the people who work there, the go to favorites are salted caramel or honey and milk. As for Manifest after dark, their first Fridays are lively and they become pretty packed. Another favorite thing about manifest is that they have fun events such as the bar exam trivia on Tuesdays. It's always a good vibe and the crowd is always a lot of fun. For parking, it is all going to be street parking or you can park at the chinatown municipal parking for $1 an hour. Not the best, but its Chinatown. Take your pick. read more

Manifest - Milk and honey latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I have come to realize that planning any kind of get-together as adults is probably more difficult to plan than when we were kids. I am not sure if it was because mom and dad were better planners than we were or if we are just too socially awkward to give a straightforward 'yes,' 'no.' or 'maybe so.' So after countless texts, rescheduling, and overall confusion, my friends and I finally managed to secure a date for Trivia Night at The Manifest. Since I was a bit early for Trivia Night, I waited outside for a bit for my friends to arrive. It just so happened that one of the guys who works at The Nighthawk happened to be having a smoke break outside, so we got to talking for a little bit too. Once my friends arrived, we all headed into The Manifest. I think prior to the pandemic, I only visited a handful of times whenever there were pub crawls since The Manifest was one of the bars that would participate in those events. I also vaguely remember The Manifest having more of a club vibe, so I was pleasantly surprised to see how nice the interior was. The inside of The Manifest reminds me of a modern industrial type of New York City apartment with the exposed brick walls, concrete floors, and wood and metal tables and chairs. The lights are bright enough to provide customers ample navigation of the bar but dim enough to allow for a cozy setting. As you make your way towards the end of the bar, you come across a little atrium with exposed ceilings and lots of (real) plants as well as the bathrooms to the left and pool tables for those interested (not sure if this section is also considered The Manifest). For those visiting on Thursday nights for Trivia, you will also see a little booth in the back where Remy is prepping for the night's event. Our group settled on some of the portable tables in the back near the booth but since we did not have enough space, we grabbed one of the other tables across from us. An important note for anyone coming here for Trivia, DO NOT TOUCH THE FIRST SILVER TABLE ON THE RIGHT as this is specifically reserved for these two cute little old ladies who are regulars. We accidentally made that mistake and felt horrible when Remy had explained to us our faux pas, so I am helping you all out so you do not feel like terrible human beings like we did lol. Once we fixed our mistake, we then decided it was time for some much needed food and refreshment. My friend Mary K. recommended their paninis, bacon wrapped dates, and their meatball sandwiches. I decided to get a Prosciutto Ham and Gouda Cheese Panini and since I was not interested in any of their drink selections on the menu, asked the nice man at the bar what his recommendation would be for an alcoholic drink that would still allow me to drive home without being pulled over. I wish I could remember what the drink he made entailed but I know it had orange bitters and it was seriously one of the best drinks I've had in my life. The panini too was perfectly grilled with the meat and cheese being of good quality. The only minor complaint was that it was a bit salty and I wished there were fries instead of Furikake Agave Chips but that's just a personal preference. I would still recommend people to try it and I would not mind visiting again to try more of the menu. Trivia Night with Remy was also a blast. I am usually a pretty awkward person in public but I actually had no problems interacting with the other participants. But I am not surprised considering The Manifest and Remy were wonderful hosts to all the participants who came out that night. Overall, I would highly recommend The Manifest if you happen to be in the Chinatown/Downtown area. The Manifest offers a comfortable pau hana spot with friends and coworkers and is also very affordable! When I got my bill, I had to triple check to make sure the bartender entered in all of my items. Plus, similarly to some of the other bars in the area (like The Nighthawk--I'm sorry, I just love them so much T_T), it is just a really comfortable hangout spot. Even if you are not much of a drinker, they also have coffee and non-alcoholic options, which I have heard are just as amazing. read more

Me and my friend love going to Trivia Nights at Manifest! My fondest memories are of the amazingly cool people I met there. Shane DJs the best trivia nights in town! Always entertaining and competitive. It's where I learned about Florida Man... The drinks are just as AMAZING as the staff! The bartenders teach you so much about the types of Bourbons and whiskey that will bring out the best flavor in your drinks. I think I went from a "drinking until I'm drunk" beer guzzler into a "kinda feeling classy" whiskey sipper. They often have amazing artwork for sale on their walls. One day I'll go back and buy a couple. They're beautiful. I highly recommend going to Manifest. Take in the atmosphere, and enjoy the competitive nature of trivia night. All while sipping your whiskey neat. read more

I wanted to like this place but...no beer selection for me. One lonely bartender and a bad vibe from the place pushed us out the door after staring at the wall. Plus no food, negative energy..nothing worth staying for unless you drink hard liquor and want a place to drown your sorrows. Too many more upbeat places in the neighborhood to waste time or money on this place. Maybe late nights this place is better. Oh..and although other yelp reviews post food..they must of lost their dept of health permit as the bartender said.."we have no food". Skip happy hour..and skip this place. read more

Manifest - A sad vibe. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've gone to the Manifest twice. The first time was during their first ever BRB event. The owner or manager (not sure) greeted me at the door and explained everything to me such as how to order and get set up for Bingo. I was sitting at the bar and ordered some food. They have the option to pay with cash and order straight from the bar or order online using their QR code. I will say that to place an order on their app, you need to download the app and register, which if you're not a patient person, might irritate you. I ordered my food (bruschetta I think, which was good except my tongue was sad from all the acidity) from the app, but ordered my drinks from the bar because the bartender said it's easier to just order straight from them. I ordered a drink (don't remember which one) and decided to open a tab, to which my attending bartender made me a drink that I didn't order. When I mentioned it, I guess he thought opening a tab meant I wanted to keep the same drink coming. I honestly am such a dork and don't even know what most things mean or how do certain things correctly so I don't know, maybe it was my fault lol. He nixed it from my bill, but everything was fairly confusing. I had no intention of getting drunk so I did freak out a little because I knew I had to order more so I could close my tab because there is a $20 minimum for card payments. So at this point, I had drank two beverages then I ordered a lemon drop, which was phenomenal and actually all the cocktails I had were delicious. I think those were all the beverages I had that night aside from water and so I did finally close my tab, but please for the love of god or whatever you believe in, just order strictly from the app only or from bartenders only because it'll be a lot less stressful and time confusing especially if you suck at math hahahahaha. Despite the mix up and the bartender being understanding and not charging me for the drink I didn't order, I gave a nice tip because hey, we all have bad days and misunderstandings and I always try to give the benefit of the doubt. Also, I appreciate an establishment having bingo because I am an old lady trapped in a young person's body. ---------------------------------------- Adding my second time using their services in same review because I'm lazy. I ordered a matcha latte online and it stated to pick it up in 20 minutes, which I did. The drink had been sitting in the fridge as one might suspect it would, but when I got it, the ice had already melted to the point of it being non-enjoyable. Despite requesting it to be sweetened, it wasn't very sweet at all. I think I'd like to try the matcha again as an annoying sit-down customer because then it's like ready to go for you and you can annoy them on the spot about sweetener and stuff and it's placed inside of a real cup and that seems nicer and more enjoyable to me. I don't get why people leave junk reviews because they weren't waited on or given water or whatever because I'm pretty it's not that kind of a place. The establishment is pretty clear on the fact you need to order from the app or go to the bar and order. Cut these places and people some slack, like holy shit, we're in a "pandemic" and you're acting like a spoiled fucking brat. You should be grateful there are workers left to man these restaurants etc. and cater to you. read more

Manifest - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Chill Tuesday night vibes, nothing special going on, just meeting a friend for late night coffee around 9pm. Sadly the espresso machine was broken sign posted on front door as entering. Whiskey bar ambiance with antique red brick walls and blood red painted accent wall, lights turned down low. Sat at high top table near the entrance, walk up service at bar was good although forgot to make ginger beer n/a soda which ended up being a glass of water. Whoops, bartender was cordial and remembered the miss when we reordered, easy to forgive when he's the only one serving the entire establishment with a little rush of business. Vegan and beef meat balls were tasty. There's no phone number listed, as they don't want calls only contact email form on website. It would be nice to know ahead of time if coffee service is available before arriving. Will try again in future read more

All the bartenders here are super chill and knowledgeable about the drinks they're making. The music is vibe is great for a night out to grab drinks. I go here every other weekend to meet up with friends so if you're looking for a chill spot to drink, 10/10 would recommend. read more

Incredibly bummed out to be writing this review because I've always loved coming to Manifest, but there obviously seems to be a problem with their staff. My boyfriend and a group of our friends were all at Manifest over the weekend. We've come here COUNTLESS times & have always had a great time. The last few times, the DJ's were whatever (imagine going from song to song every 2.4 seconds & not sticking to a vibe). But that's completely besides the point... My boyfriend was targeted by one of the security guards while we were dancing near the DJ booth. We were in a large group of us all dancing in the same area & the guard had told him specifically to move out of the way - so he did. He moved to the far left of the guard (completely out of his way) & was making his way around the group dancing with some friends. Out of nowhere, the guard grabs him, yanks him to the side & gets in his face. He was so genuinely concerned that he did something wrong that he kept saying to the guard, "Im sorry, what happened?? What'd I do? Is everything okay?" There was absolutely NOTHING to indicate that he was even near the guard or in his way. The guard was getting super aggressive & kept screaming, "Get the f*ck out my face. You want some of this?! Get out my face." - while he proceeded to get more and more into my boyfriends face. I've been here in the past ( & mind you, I'm a 6ft woman) & have been man handled by this very security guard without any warning. At that point, we turned and walked out but after reading that some other people have had the same exact issues here, I had to say something on here. MAY I ADD IM BUMMED. I loved Manifest but I don't want to worry about whether or not the security guards are going to intentionally torment and target it's patrons. It's just utter bullsh*t. I really hope they get their act together cause it's a decent spot with great bartenders & fun atmosphere. I say this with the utmost sincerity, I hope that security guard is able to deal with whatever he's got going on. Taking it out on people you're supposed to protect, isn't the way to go. I seriously hope you take care of yourself & are able to get your anger out in some other way - cause that felt way too personal for this situation. read more

one of my favorite places for casual drinking and/or a night out. the music is top 40s/old school/hip hop/r&b. the dj also throws in some edm music so there's something for everyone. the place is huge as it's connected to another arcade portion and speakeasy portion. there is no cover charge and the drinks here are super affordable. read more

Manifest is a cool bar in Chinatown. We came on Saturday night on the recommendation of some local friends and were very pleasantly surprised. Not only is the atmosphere cool, but there was live music, and the live music blew us away! We watched the band set up and were basically counting down to leave as soon as they finished (they looked like all the emo bands we had seen back in high school), however, they performed anything but! The lead singer was massively talented and just shocked us all; we ended up staying for their entire set. Only now am I seeing that Manifest is also a coffee shop with beautiful toast and drinks. What a bummer! Had I known, I would have definitely come here during the day. read more

I love the ambience here but the drinks even more. Monday nights are the best because it tends to be more quiet. Though last night it seem to really be popping. There was a live DJ which I appreciated. I ended up with two blinkers. They actually add fresh fruit peel here for most of their mixed drink. The bartender really pays close attention to details here. I noticed she skimmed off a fresh slice of orange peel and ran it across the rim of the cup. The blinker here is my favorite drink in town because it always has a nice mellow taste of citrus/grapefruit. The drink is sweet but not so sweet it gives you a hangover the next day. Happy hour is from 6Pm-9PM. It's very pricey if you don't go during those hours. read more

Horrible, terrible experience. was there on a Friday night, drinking with some friends just checking out the scene of the bar around midnight, when this horrible bouncer tried to FIGHT me for being close to him, seriously. despite me returning to the bouncer with my sincerest apologies for being too close to him, he still wanted nothing but a scrap with me.

Rude bartenders; Especially the Asian girl. She should Be fired. She told every other bartender not to serve me. If you don't tip they won't serve you anymore. Blatantly ignore you and serve others. They only care about how much they individually make instead of the reputation of the bar itself. I feel so bad for the owner because of how inconsiderate and self-centered the bartenders really are. If I was him I'd find better bartenders. Check the other 1 star reviews as well which will align with what I'm saying. Try to leave no tip for a $26 order of two drinks and see how they treat you. Unfortunate. Really unfortunate. read more

I was invited. The place is nice, the staff friendly. I cannot say anything about the food, right after we ordered the power went out. But the staff offered to share their pizza with us. What a nice and needed gesture, and at no cost to us. I recommend this place for the staff. I hope to try the food someday. read more

I don't know why my friends keep wanting to come back to this place but I'm really not feeling it. Came here twice during a first Friday and it's $10 cover charge to get in. The dance floor is very small and the bar is always isually busy. DO NOT GET A VEGAS BOMB. They give it to you all warm and it does not even taste like a Vegas bomb at all, it's disgusting, I think they dont add the schnapps. The music they play isn't really the type that makes you want to dance. The very first time I went to Manifest, I remember I had a blast but the more recent times I've gone, the DJ kinda sucked, no offense. Not really my choice of club read more

Great service. Bartender was absolutely amazing but drink wasn't the best. Would definitely recommend for a nice atmosphere. read more

Review about Remi Mead's "Summer Lovin'" Art Gallery Exhibit: When I was younger, I used to copy lines of poetry from books at my grandparents' collection, there was something heartfelt about an author's ability to articulate feelings into words. Sometimes, it's difficult for me, to translate how I'm feeling in a way that someone else might understand; one of the reasons, I feel a strong connection to creative individuals is because they utilize various mediums to convey their message (sometimes, without saying a word). Whenever I'm fascinated with someone's work, I like to research about them & discover how their passions came about. After some investigating, I found out English was Remi Mead's second language & I thought it was lovely, how she used her art to communicate with others. Another reason I'm drawn to Remi's artwork is because we share the same appreciation for adorable & fluffy bunnies (if you're not familiar with Remi's work, she likes to incorporate these cuties in her art). Remi's "Summer Lovin'" art gallery exhibit was absolutely stunning; I loved the way the bright colors from her artwork was intensified by Mainfest's red brick walls. Thank you Remi for reminding me that when you're authentic & produce work you believe in, the right people will gravitate towards you. If you're in the mood for art & culture, check out Remi Mead's "Summer Lovin'" Art Gallery Exhibit held exclusively at The Manifest. "Summer Lovin'" is viewable to the public from Saturday (04.20) - Sunday (05.12.13). read more

On their website it says, "No good ever came of a bar having a telephone". But it would've done us some good if we could call and ask if they were doing trivia and if they were open.

MOSCOW MULE! the end! lol jk. Serious note though, Moscow mule is the bomb. I didn't know about this drink till I was here at 6pm on a Friday with my friends. Looking at the cocktail special menu and saw this... Ginger beer got me curious. It comes in a copper cup keeping the drink cold! Man this drink is ADDICTING. excuse me alcoholic talking here haha. I've been here for a college poetry meet and even late night clubbing. This place is good any time of the day. They don't have cover for all you weekend party go-ers. First Friday may be a different story. (don't count on me for this). The decor here gives me a hipsters vibe but hey I'm a girl who loves San Francisco. I could be a little biased. I've noticed the bar in the back has bikes hanging on the ceiling. Cool Idea! If you're in downtown for first Friday's or even a place to chill with friends. I totally recommend here. The place does get crowded and dance floor is small. read more

Downtown Honolulu has grown from its bum filled, drug infested niche in city to the prime hipster spot. From it's First Friday parties to my new favorite club/lounge: MANIFEST! Coming from Vegas, I could really care less about partying but, I couldn't pass up The Get Right party on Wednesdays. In fact, I made sure to fly in just for this party AND it was the only partying on my agenda during my trip! If you've read my previous reviews, you'll know that Vegas is missing that hip-hop factor at clubs that I misssssss ssooooo muuuuch. And this was why Manifest's Get Right party does it for me. Lots of old school R&B, groove music that I've been missing in my party life. And I'm not just saying that because my homies are the DJs. *of course not* The crowd is a mix of the hipster scensters and surfer types but, mainly those looking for a chill time with good music and drinks! Wish Vegas had something like this! read more

Manifest - Cheee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is one of my favorite places in town. Friendly bartenders. I rarely go after dark because I don't like to stand in lines. It can get busy, so I prefer to be on my way by 6 PM. There are other good places nearby, so I like this central location. You can park in the Chinatown garage, usually easiest, but I almost always get lucky with street parking. Whiskeys start at $6 for The Grouse (tastes like Jameson) and goes up from there. Way up. This place is well known for it's coffee drinks, I see people come here often just for the chai or machiatto drinks. Be sure to check out the wall art. Sublime to silly, worth a visit just to see the art. read more

REVIEWER # 301 I absolutely fell in LOVE with this bar for SO many amazing reasons! They not only have courteous and well-mannered security guards outside to greet you, but they also have this lovely welcoming vibe to it that could make any age group feel welcomed. Not to mention, they offer over 60 different whiskeys and bourbons to be found on the island, fantastic cocktail drinks and trust me, there selection is on Fleek! Kinda' reminds me of my favorite local bar in SF that offers over 170 different whiskeys: https://www.yelp.com/biz/hazel-southern-bar-and-kitchen-san-francisco-4 Any who, Manifest is the place to be when you want to have a fantastic time, listening to music and enjoy some strong mouthwatering cocktails! The drinks are well-priced and the drink names are definitely something to talk about. My all-time favorite was the Singapore Sling-like seriously, why go to Singapore to get a Singapore Sling when you can get one at the Manifest?! Pshh, after two drinks, I was ready to go to ANY bar! During the day time, they offer food. In the daytime, it's more of a simple place to grab a drink and eat while working on the computer. I can certainly see how this place can change its vibe from day to night. Alas, by the time I arrived, they weren't serving food so I didn't get a chance to try any of it. I encourage you to come in the day and try out their menu. I must admit, they offer some yummy bites to eat! When I first walked in, I fell in love with the simple decor, whiteboards on the walls with a variety of different beer and cocktail specials and the big board in the front of the bar that advertises all the different varieties of whiskey that they offer. Let me not forget to mention the best part of the bar! The live jazz music! YESS! I am a sucka' for some good live jazz music and this place exceeded my expectations. Luckily, I was able to enjoy some good jazz music until 9 PM; after 9 PM, the bar turns into a nightclub. The best nights to visit is Friday and Saturday night. Now, moving on to those cute ol' bartenders, honey! YESSSS!!! They just look so sexy when they make those drinks! The way they shake up and shake um down! Whoo! I was fascinated by it all! Make sure you grab a set at the bar so you can see what I saw that night! They also offer free Wi-Fi, charger outlets against the walls. I hear they have Trivia Night during the week. Too bad I don't live in Hawaii; this would definitely be my go-to bar! Overall, one of my favorite bars for nightlife; this place is Heaven for Bourbon lovers! read more
