    I am so quickly reminded why i hate clubs and going out. Went for the drag show on Friday night, I was told there is a new theme every week. Upon arriving, it doesn't look like much, but once you get inside, it's huge. Nice bar selection, lots of lights, seemed pretty clean, very much so your average bar scene. The VIP section wasn't too bad. The gentleman bringing us drinks was amazing, and so friendly. Made sure we had mixers with our liquor and water at all times! As for the show, not too bad. It is what it is for Honolulu. I've seen better but I did enjoy my evening up until the end. Went to the bathroom, there were two unisex ones and they were trashed... my friend and I went in a group, like EVERYONE ELSE BEFORE US, and we weren't in there but for 2 mins before a group of girls started banging on the door and trying to come into the stall. I opened the door after cleaning up the mess the people before us made, and I was immediately called profanities and she tried to fight me. That was the end of my night. I've never been so disrespected and shocked at how trashy women in bars can get when they're drunk. I won't be back but at least I can say I tried.

    I have never been to the shows here, but the quality of the drag performances was great! They have a long catwalk and the performers are dressed to impress! Shows usually Friday and Saturday nights. The 9pm show has the most numbers/performers and there is 1 number at 11pm and 1 at midnight that the headliner does (11 and 12). The drinks are reasonably priced ($9 for alcohol and $4 for non) and there is a $20 cover. This place gets packed around 11 and there is loud music/gogo dancers on the catwalk when there are no drag performers. Street parking is scarce so come early or try to find parking in the paid lots since no parking on Hotel St. (buses only). Don't forget your ID!

    Came on a Saturday. As a male seeking another male whose lived in big metro areas like LA,NY,SF,PHX, this place is....different Pro: -music -venue is big so there's room to dance -stages/cages/mirrors are different than normal bars I've been to Con: -the clientele is very straight which I guess is ok until 80% of the club is that and it's no longer a gay club and I have girls grinding on me -all the girls hair sticks to my sweaty body -the gays are very timid here or...am I just a hoe? cuz it's like I'm the only one that took off my shirt and danced like it was a party -70% of the clientele seems young and college-y compared to all the bars I've ever been to whether it is a straight or gay bar. -the pop up shows could be distracting only because they are too frequent and absorb all the attention of the whole venue

    Woah! This place is massive. There are two main rooms. They play really good music to dance to and their lights are really trippy. We came on a Friday night and it was pretty packed, but it was easy to get a drink at the bar. The drinks are made really well and even though i like more liquor, they don't over pour. They had a lot of great drag performers at 10ish, 11ish and 12 ish. If you like good music and good vibes, this place is for you!

    The club is to the left on the right are the people selling wristbands to the college kids.

    Absolutely not a safe place for gay people anymore. It is extremely obvious that they are allowing underage kids in. It was a straight frat party inside. As soon as we left we were approached to give our wrists bands away to underage kids. Very disappointing

    We usually don't get many superstars to Hawaii, whether it be for concerts, movie events, or drag shows. So when I heard that BenDeLaCreme was coming to Scarlet for an event, I did what any RuPaul's Drag Race fan would do and lost my dang mind. Although I rarely stay up past the early evening hours, I gathered my caffeine and friends for the trip to town. We figured that since the Fresh Fish drag revue started at 10, we should get there around 9:15. This worked out well, since we were able to grab a round of drinks and claim a good spot by the stage. The cover charge was only $10 and you can also pay this with credit card! By 10:00, there was a very healthy crowd in the Pineapple Room and Tita Titsling got the Fresh Fish review going. Hope you brought your dollars for the lovely ladies! By the time Miss DeLa herself graced the stage at 11, it was sweatier in that room than at a middle school sock hop. (There was an actual layer of condensation on the stage.) The crowd went insane as BenDeLaChrist reenacted her shocking sacrifice from All Stars 3. It was nothing short of pure magnificence. I haven't shrieked like that since I was at a Hanson concert at age 13. There was a break after her first set, so the DJ and dancers kept the crowd going until midnight. And then the curtain parted and the stunning BenDeLaCreme came back to do her famous "striptease" with layers and layers of bras. Yaassss! It was adorable, funny, and, so entertaining. I also loved being "glittered" throughout the performance, even though I'm pretty sure I'll be finding glitter in my things for years to come. After the show, we were able to snap a photo with DeLa and check out her merch. However, I wish the employees would have been clearer with the audience about how to line up, as the initial line to the side of the stage was told to clear away for the front of the stage line. I felt bad for the people who had already waited and were told they had to get into an even bigger line. But all in all, it was a fabulous night and one I'll never forget!

    View from the Dollhouse booth. Totally worth it!!!!

    A kid friendly drag queen show?

    It's a 21 and over nightclub. Drag shows are usually a little risqué no matter where you go. As a drag queen myself (not at Scarlets) I wouldn't recommend it. RuPaul's drag race is probably the only drag show I have ever seen or attended that I…

Skull and Crown wasn't the easiest to find and we ended up parking in a paid lot about a block away. We had made reservations and the place was pretty packed when we got there so I would recommend making a reservation. Especially if you want to sit at the bar. The place pretty much has a full menu but none of the dishes really spoke to me. We just ended up sharing the Salmon skewers and a side of rice. $15 for 2 skewers is pretty expensive though. The drinks at this bar are creative though and that is definitely the best part of the place. We each had 2 drinks and even combinations of flavors that seemed weird did indeed work. We liked all the drinks we had. I would certainly come back.

It's such a fun place to hang out, and when the live band is playing, it's even better. They're interactive, entertaining, and create such a great experience. Unfortunately, the customer service has been consistently disappointing. The bartender has always seemed friendly, but the waitresses have been cold and often come across as rude. We usually want to come here, but the service makes it a hard sell sometimes. We'd love to bring more visiting family and friends here, but it's honestly a 50/50 decision because we never know what kind of service we'll get. The food is decent, but nothing that really stands out. The coconut shrimp and onion rings are both good, and the drinks are definitely a highlight. The piña colada is honestly one of the best we've had. For our family of five, plus two beers and one piña colada, lunch came to about $175 including tip. That's pretty expensive, so we only come on rare occasions. At that price point, we'd expect warmer, friendlier service. We initially gave them the benefit of the doubt and assumed we had visited on off days, but after several visits--including this past Friday with many of the same waitresses--we've found the service to be consistently cold and unwelcoming.

We also shared a few bottles of mimosas, and the iced mocha was delicious and perfectly chocolatey. One thing to keep in mind is that it can get pretty warm, especially during the summer. They have a large covered area and can cover portions of the restaurant that are getting direct sun, but if you're visiting during the daytime, I'd definitely recommend bringing a portable fan. You could also call ahead and request a table that isn't directly in the sun. Overall, we had a great brunch experience and would definitely come back again!
