    Aloha, revisited Silver Lining tonight before a concert at the Blaisdell. So convenient to walk over before or after. Fun running into friends as well as making new ones. Great neighborhood bar! Come and visit. I even hear there's a sushi pop-up on certain nights. So awesome. Enjoy!

    My wife and I like wine... a LOT. So after discovering the Silver Lining Wine Bar on RESY and then cross checking it against their Yelp reviews it was a must visit. We made a reservation for 5 pm on a Saturday evening, they offer two reservation times, 5 pm and 7:30 pm and can accommodate up to 12 guests per seating. The bar itself is located in the industrial area of Kakaako and you enter through an unmarked door giving it almost a speakeasy feel. Shoutout to the Yelp photo otherwise we may have wandered around a bit. Rick the owner was fantastic, explaining Natural Wine and guiding us through what would pair best with our food order. We ordered the smaller charcuterie board which had a generous portion of three different meats, the baked Mozzarella Staub served with sourdough bread, and two specials. One was a Meatball Staub using the same sauce as the Mozzarella version but the meatball was added a nice addition to the cheese and sauce. The other special was a brie topped with Manoa honey served with slices of granny smith apples along with toasted bread..fantastic! Rick helped us select our wines..we ran through 2 bubblies, 2 whites, and a carafe of our favorite of the evening a red Italian wine Fongoli Montefalco Sagrantino. The wine list isn't large but rotates often to keep it interesting allowing patrons to explore upon revisiting. Overall a great place for bites and drinks to go along with the fantastic service and learn a little about natural wines in the process!

    Silver Lining had a 2 day Valentine's Day 6 course meal all with a wine pairings on the 13th & 14th. The Chavost Champagne with salumi started the evening followed by Arugula Salad with a Radikon orange Pinot Grigio then Chicken Liver Mousse with Champalou Chenin Blanc, Duck Confit on Potato Pave with a Trousseau and Meatballs with Nerello Mascalese. The meal concluded with Baked Brie with a terrific fruit compote and Orange Traube. Silver Lining is the perfect venue for a quiet meal or a superb wine tasting and we plan on returning to their cask room if staffing permits.

    Cozy spot with a subtle speakeasy vibe. Always a good idea to make a reservation, but they were kind enough to squeeze us in for a quick tasting. Around the corner you'll find Hana Koa Brewing and Bocconcino Italian Sandwich -- perfect stops to round out your visit.

    This wine bar is truly exceptional! The owner Rick is incredibly kind and welcoming, making every visit a memorable experience. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the outstanding selection of wines they offer. They serve carefully curated wines from around the world, ensuring there's something special for every palate. A must-visit for any wine lover looking for a cozy yet refined atmosphere. Since Rick told us "Wines are meant to share" I am sharing this best kept secret

    Legendary cocktail experience. My partner and I frequent a lot of top 50 bars across the world and…read moreBar Leather Apron operates at that level. The drinks are well balanced and have a lot of Japanese flavor influence (i.e shisho, matcha, yuzu). Presentation and breakdown of each drink component was exceptional; it is clear that the mixologists understand the nuances of their ingredients and the techniques they employ. Special shout out to Scotty for taking care of us tonight. Excited to come back again :)

    Months before my trip to Oahu, I tried to book a reservation to Bar Leather Apron but was unable to…read moredo so because the reservations were immediately scooped up right as they were released. To my surprise, on a Sunday evening after having dinner nearby at Maze, my wife and I walked over to Bar Leather Apron and we were able to get seated right away! In fact, around 7:30 p.m. when we stopped by, there was actually a ton of seating available in the bar. Who would've guessed. If you're in the same boat as me and are unable to find a reservation for your upcoming visit, I would encourage you to stop by and try a walk-in. The first page of the menu lists a wide variety of whiskey based cocktails. Most -- if not all, of the cocktails are pre-fixed with BLA (Bar Leather Apron), and represent a collaboration with the named distillery. If you're fan of whiskey, you'll definitely have a difficult time picking only one. I ultimately ordered their "Take Warning" -- 2021 BLA Knob Creek BLA Single Barrel, Cynar, Carpano Antica, Mezcal, Bergamot Salt. Drinks here are not cheap -- averaging $20 to $25 per drink. Although my drink was very spirit forward, it still felt very well balanced. I appreciated the hint of smokiness from the mezcal that rounded out the end of a sip. Service here quick and friendly. When we received the check, a cute small chocolate snack was brought over as well, borrowed from the menu at Maze. Overall, I can see why Bar Leather Apron has earned so many accolades in its field. Definitely worth a stop by if you enjoy the art of mixology.

Thankfully, Michael and his team were able to accommodate us, which I really appreciated. From the moment we walked in, the place had a great vibe, the interior is beautiful.

I had the expressing my love all night and even though the place was busy and there was a bit of a wait for food, it was honestly worth it.

Tucked on the second floor of a Piikoi Parkway building, it feels like stepping back in time, a true bespoke bar with vintage art, moody lighting, and comfy couches that make it perfect for couples or a night out with friends. We sat at the bar, which was a highlight, Michael and Tony were welcoming, easy to talk story with, and clearly know their craft. I went with the Barreled Old Man, a smooth, layered mix of bourbon, rye, and brandy that just worked, while my wife's Sesame Veil brought a nutty, balanced flavor that stood out. For round two, the Espressing My Love was a great take on an espresso martini, and Michael built my wife a custom drink off her favorite flavors and nailed it again. We paired it with the smoked mozzarella and salami grilled cheese and Ho Farms tomato soup, and this is where it really hit. The sandwich came out hot and crisp, and when you took a bite the cheese pulled away just right, that perfect melt, with the salami adding a savory kick. The tomato soup was fresh, bright, and made for dipping you didn't want to stop. We were welcomed with a table that had our name on it, a small touch that goes a long way. Prices are on point for the quality and experience you're getting. It's a bit of a hidden, hip spot, not for a quick drink but for when you want to sit, relax, and enjoy it. Parking is tight, but you can park at Ala Moana and walk over, and it's worth it. Next time we're coming back for Grandma's Old Fashioned and the pork belly bao buns. This isn't a bar you stumble into, it's one you come back to.

The atmosphere is intimate and elevated, perfect for a date night or a chill evening out. It has that "secret spot" energy in Honolulu where everything feels a bit more exclusive without being intimidating. The cocktails are a standout. There are so many options on the menu, from classic drinks to creative house specials, and everything feels thoughtfully made. It's one of those places where you actually slow down just to decide what to try next. The food adds an unexpected twist Asian-inspired dishes like fried frog legs with sweet and sour sauce. It was something new and surprising, but the crispy texture and tangy flavor made it a fun and memorable experience. Overall, RM 38 Bar is a true hidden gem: great cocktails, adventurous bites, and a vibe that feels stylish, fun, and a little bit luxurious all at once.
