    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!!!!

    If you're in the Chinatown area of Honolulu and you want to see an amazing drag show or just blow off steam on a hot dance floor? Then this is it! The skinny and sweet: There's parking across the street. The lines weren't very long, even at ten o'clock. The drinks were done flawlessly all night. (No variances or skimping) And my favorite part? The music pumping off the dance floor coupled with the amazing entertainment. Depending on when you decide to visit, there is always something going on!!! The talented queens are always ready to bring it to the stage. I hosted my birthday after-party here on August 31st. The Dollhouse upstairs was just for me and about a dozen of my closest friends. And even on a crazy night, my waitress was courteous and fast on their feet. (Side note : no V.I.P. line after 10pm) When it started to be a crush at the bar my beautiful waitress actually let me know ahead of time to be prepared for slower service. Who does that these days?!? I was very happy and grateful to have such amazing wait help. Not to mention they were decked out to the nines!!! I totally recommend reserving a room here for your next special occasion. Just be prepared to get your socks knocked off!!!

    Ask the Community - Scarlet Honolulu

    Which day is best to go? Fridays or saturdays?

    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… Read more

We ordered the poke and the salad, and both dishes were very underwhelming. The food tasted bland, lacked seasoning, and felt very simple for the price. We kept expecting more flavor, especially since Hawaii is known for fresh, vibrant ingredients. This was the first restaurant we visited after landing, so it was a disappointing start to our trip. We understand that every restaurant can have an off day, and based on the other positive reviews, maybe that's what happened during our visit. Still, we wanted to share our honest experience so future guests know that the quality may not always match the expectations set by the reviews. We genuinely hope this feedback helps, because the staff was friendly and our server was great and we'd love to see the food live up to the restaurant's reputation.
