Honolulu Tavern is a classic old-school Waikiki dive bar. It's frequented mostly by locals and…read moreoffers much more reasonable drink prices than most spots in the area. The place isn't fancy -- just a couple of fans trying to move the air -- but it has a relaxed, no-frills vibe that's refreshing after walking around Waikiki. Good spot if you're looking for affordable drinks and a laid-back local atmosphere rather than a polished tourist bar. Imee, is my favorite bartender. She'll take great care of you and keep you laughing!

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.

As this place has it in the name we assume this one would be the best but we had to experience it ourself. Outside of the Royal Hawaiian hotel nestled in the beach, you'll find a beach bar under tons of pink um fellas. You can curl up at the bar or grab a table! We grabbed a seat at the bar and were immediately greeted with some refreshing water and provided a menu! As you would expect they had a handful of Mai Tais to choose from! We stuck with the original. At first I thought it was too sweet and without alcohol. Boy J was wrong: it was spot on! Full volume! Worth the 21 dollars!!! Great service from the staff made it an even better experience!!! Cheers!

Once inside, you're greeted with a clean, intimate space, low lighting, and moody vibes. There are only a handful of seats in the indoor bar, so it feels cozy and exclusive rather than like your typical crowded Waikiki bar. The mixologists are fantastic at their craft. Every cocktail we tried was creative, flavorful, and deliciously strong--definitely drinks you want to sip and enjoy! If you love hidden bars, creative cocktails, and a chill, intimate atmosphere, definitely add Green Lady to your Honolulu list.

We waited at least another 10 minutes before someone came to take our order, who was rolling her eyes and even throwing her arms down at us, especially when my boyfriend ordered. 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.

The view is obviously great being right by the water. I ordered the fish sandwich and they accidentally put two fish fillets on mine, which I definitely wasn't complaining about lol. The fish was SO juicy and tender. TBH it was kinda flavorless, but I actually loved it that way. It tasted super fresh and honestly felt pretty healthy. We also got the pizza and that was great too. Service was really fast, but there were also probably like 3 other people there at the time haha. Overall, great restaurant by the water with a nice view, good food, and a relaxing atmosphere.
