    A friend suggested that we meet at Nashville Waikiki, which is actually located in aloha tower. It was a Tuesday night, which is a work night, so it was a bit sparse. It's a small bar, so they only had 2 pool tables, which were all taken. As we sat listening to country or older music to a live singer, the flyer says happy hour $4 -$6 drinks, then on the second line, pupus and something else until 8pm (I should have taken a picture of it), but, it was misleading because the food wasn't included in the happy hour prices. We decided to order the pupus anyway even if it was a bit expensive, but it was pretty worth it. Guava Jelly St. Louis ribs - 5 stars - for $13, they know how to make this - fall off the bone, meaty ribs in a strong sweet bbq sauce. Best I've eaten in Hawaii, and equivalent to a half rack. Beef skewers - 4 stars - for $12 they serve 6 skewers of tender beef marinated in teriyaki sauce. Korean inspired garlic chicken - 4 stars for the price of $12, bc there weren't many pieces, but 5 stars for the flavor and crunchiness. They know how to flavor their meats so it's bold, but not salty. Nachos - 3 stars - for $13, they serve the garnishings separate from the chips to keep it crispy. To me, it wasn't worth buying in comparison to the awesome meat pupus. Signature cocktail - 4 stars - I used the yelp check-in coupon to get a drink for $3, but this is not a basic drink, so was $4. The coupon doesn't pop-up when I checked in yelp, but they awarded it when I showed them it wasn't working. The cocktail was fruity and weak, but I had to work the next day, so it was ok. Service - 4 stars - the waitress couldn't answer my basic questions about what was in included in happy hour or what time it ended bc she said she was new but the bartender did. She did check on us time to time, and there is free karaoke on tuesdays after 8:30pm. Parking is free the 1st hour, then $2 every hour thereafter with validation. They told me parking at Amfac is better if we stay longer than 3 hours bc it's a flat rate, or parking after 6pm on the street is free, if you can find any.

    Drinks at the Beach House before our Sunset dinner cruise.  This place is awesome, great atmosphere and very clean.

    We stopped in for a couple of drinks before out Sunset dinner cruise. The vibe was so welcoming, we couldn't resist.

    Check that clearly not 4 beers for $20

    What a wonderful location, open air on the waterfront and that's where the positive ends. Our second time here. No food served here and probably a good thing. The place was empty, smells like Fabuloso but definitely NOT clean as my bathroom pics demonstrate. Bartender was chatty with a couple other customers and we overheard that the manager only comes in once a week, that explains a lot. Signage posted that beers are 4 for $20, but when we got the check that was not so. We asked the bartender and were told that is only true if you ask for a bucket. Shady as hell! Unfortunately when you live in this city there are far too many other places to go, so we won't be back! Our advice is steer clear of this place.

    I don't know what these "chicken" tenders are made of but pretty sure its not chicken.

    Don't bother going to this place, I really wanted to like it. But frankly, it smells. maybe if you sit outside you can't smell the nastiness but inside it's gross. It smells like it's been there for 50 years and never been clean. Some of the staff look cracked out. Food tastes like ass. Looks like something you'd find at a seedy part of town. I will avoid this place in the future. There are plenty of other places in the area to have a better experience.

    Double double the brisket please and thank you

    I don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep because I miss brisket and I don't want to miss a piece. Lets face it. There really aren't great smoked bbq places on the island that make it really good. And when you are craving for that smoked bbq flavor you either have to find someone with a smoker...or deal with what we have. Not anymore! Nashville Waikiki has some pretty good bbq! I was transported back to San Antonio with one bite. Customer Service: You know there wait staff is good when they hear your order walk off and remember who got what. mindblown! The staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. We were here for the cookie swap and ordered food while we waited to try cookies. After ordering, I thought it would take some time for the food to come out. I was surprised to have it all waiting while I mingled by the cookies. Speedy! Ambience: There is a dance floor, darts, a bar area and all with the view of Aloha Tower marina. Great place to watch the game and have beer with the boys! Food: Food was great! I haven't had a good brisket in a long time. I loved the shredded pork and the sides. I saw a nearby table with a killer plate of nachos. I can't wait to try those in the future. The drinks also were great! They had some kinky names to them, but I admit that the leg spreader was my favorite. Overall, it's the perfect place for smoked bbq and hanging out. Love the atmosphere and the brisket. If you need that fix, this could be the alternative to try.

    I hardly go to the Aloha Tower. Haven't been since I came back to the islands some years ago now. But now, an event was taking place here and I welcomed the chance to rekindle my familiarization of the area. I was dreading the parking situation because the last time I had to break an arm and a leg to get out. I could've parked at Municipal parking across the street. It was a Sunday, metered parking is also free around Chinatown. The walk would have been nice. Unfortunately, I was running a tad late and decided to bite the bullet. In I went grabbing the parking ticket. Walking into the Aloha Tower I was flooded with the memories and history of. Readiing about the Boat Days how people got off work early just to greet and celebrate the travelers disembarking the large boats onto the islands. They were large community events back then. A ghost of the past now as I walk the cold stone steps within. So quiet now. After walking around a bit, we found Nashville right across Hooters on the 1st floor. As I approach the noise level is rising. On one side it's Hooters. On the otherside, I'm hearing the country songs kicked up notch ready for some hootin' and hollerin' Nashville style. This was my first time here and liked it as i came in. Large long bar on the right with 3 screens above. Interesting, a Black Jack table to my left. Tempting, but no. I was on a mission to find the cookie monster and could not take any pleasures at this time. hahaha Took a big table for six sharing with some wharf rats I ran into there. Why not. Looking over the drink menu decided on the Hawaiian Leg Spreader. Used my Yelp check in to get $3.00 off that became a deal. I was happy with the drink. Then I tried a bottled beer, Fire Rock because I like it. Enjoyed it while chit chatting away admiring the surrounding view inside the bar and outside of the spectacular harbor view. They were handing discount cards. Be sure to ask for those and get what you can. $3 off your next visit, $5 off Ladie's night. I did not partake of any food because I was still full from lunch. However, I saw several orders of nachos. They were huge and looked amazingly delicious. I did manage to taste some, thanks to Romeo, and they were as good as they look. Yummy. Although service was attentive, didn't feel any joy joy. Just the usual I'm here to get a paycheck no need to personalize the service. Maybe that's how they do it in the south or what ever parts from. What can I say, it ain't Hawaii. With that said, I can overlook it and understand how life can be bearing at times. Then again, that Leg Spreader was pretty good.

    Combo ($22.99) with pork ribs, brisket, baked beans, corn, bread and butter pickles, and cornbread muffin.
    Violet H.

    With some trepidation, I recommended this place to my friend. The reviews suggested it was hit-or-miss. There also seemed to be location confusion: Paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) Smoke House, located inside a bar called Nashville (Tennessee) Waikiki (back to Hawaii) serving BBQ (from Texas). Okay, then. Well, they delivered on this Monday at lunch. We did not experience any of the food, service, check, or other issues some Yelpers reported. My friend snarfed down her pulled pork sandwich on a Kaiser roll (you get to pick between two types of bread) with coleslaw ($10.99) I chose the Combo with brisket and ribs, and baked beans, corn on the cob, bread and butter pickle slices, and cornbread ($22.99). The meat came without sauce. We both had soda ($3 each) which was refilled multiple times at no additional cost. The generous portion of brisket was tender and flavorful, good with or without sauce. There's a mild and a Kilauea hot BBQ sauce.) found the taste of the ribs to be a bit odd, but I think this was an anomaly. The meat did not fall off the bone but I could pull it off easily with a plastic fork. (No real cutlery or plates here.) The heap of beans was moist and had a tiny kick of heat. The cornbread muffin was warm and soft and a little sweet, just the way I like it. Even the small cob of corn was good - dusted with pepper, it was fresh, not all shriveled up from being frozen and/or swimming laps all day in a container of hot water. It took a little while to get our food, but I took that as a good sign. (No microwaves, food prepared as ordered.) We were the first ones to request food and I noticed those who came after us got their food more quickly. Like Alice, I found something to be curiouser and curiouser: No poultry anywhere on the menu. Chicken is usually a staple. Just brisket, pulled pork, pork ribs, or sausage here. I wanted to ask the chef why no chicken but didn't get the chance. Vegetarians will not find much joy here, although they could cobble together a few side dishes to tide them over. Validated parking in front. Even with validation, parking still cost $2, perhaps because we were there for 2 hours. Buses 55, 56, 57, 57A heading to Ala Moana from downtown. Aloha Tower and the restaurant are fully accessible. Walk through the center of Aloha Tower, and turn left halfway down. Entrance is right across from Hooters. You can also access the restaurant from harborside. Say hi and bye to Elvis, who resides permanently just outside the front door. There's a full bar and a dance floor. No A/C, only ceiling fans. Lots of TVs. It would be lovely to sit outside at sunset. If you are inside and the doors are closed, you won't be able to see outside because the bottom portion of the glass is frosted. Seating is drinking-oriented, not eating-oriented. Tall stools at the bar and at tables inside and out. There are tables with regular chairs, but they are large. The two of us sat at a table for ten. There might have been another section for seating but I didn't wander over to check it out. The restroom was clean. I will certainly be back the next time I crave American BBQ.

    Covid rules - good

    On the surface they are taking covid seriously, but the men's room is so incredibly nasty that it makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like. Take a look. Peeing on the floor would've improved the situation.

    Nashville Waikiki was my favorite bar at its old location; I'm happy to say the new one is even better! Located in the new renovated Aloha Tower Marketplace, the business is the first one to open after HPU's development of the property. This area is perfect for nightlife. Already close to two other bar/restaurants, Nashville has the distinction of being the only bar with dancing and lots of games (pool and darts). Located on the Diamond Head side of the Mall, the entrance faces Hooters and is close to the Star of Honolulu dock. It would be very easy to get here via bus and the many tourist shuttles from Waikiki or downtown. Parking is also plentiful, although not free. This past weekend it was $5 flat payable on entry. The parking kiosk closes at 11:30, so entering after that time is free until closing at 2am. It's open from 11am to 2am daily. For people on cruises disembarking from the piers, this would be a fun place to dance and drink while staying close to the ship. The bar is much larger and more open than before. With very high ceilings, the place stays cool and airy as it's now on the ground floor with big open windows and doors. Lots of country-western decor lines the walls including plenty of mood lighting. Immediately inside the doors are three new pool tables. There is plenty of room for serious players and people just looking to have fun. A counter around the entire area makes it easy to find a place to put your drink, or just take a load off. The main bar area is standing room, high top tables, and the bar. The main bar lines the entire inner wall, so it's very easy to get service. Waitstaff also comes around frequently no matter where you are. The DJ booth is in the middle of the room, just off the large dance floor. Look for schedules of free dance classes if you really want learn. At the back of the joint is three dart boards separated from the main crowds, which is fantastic to not be interrupted nor hit anyone with a stray dart. Restrooms are at the very back; it's wonderful how large and clean they are as well. The last area worth note is the tables outside on the lanai; it's a great place to get some fresh air and cool down after dancing. The staff is always friendly. The clientele is always some of most welcoming of any nightlife in Honolulu. It's a great place to come drink, dance, or just the company of friends.

The moody speakeasy vibe was cool and our server was friendly, but the problem is nothing on the menu is very appealing or affordable. I decided to gamble on the 3 taco flight. Mexican food in Hawaii is always a gamble, but these were the worst tacos I've ever had in my life. They were comically small and, unfortunately, quite disgusting. Especially the tortilla, which was made from ulu and tasted like oily construction paper. The presentation was pretty underwhelming as well and did not include any salsa or hot sauce. When asked, the server offered Tabasco. Really?! But the real crime was the $27 price tag. We're all used to Hawaii prices, but come on. How can you charge NINE DOLLARS per tiny taco with a straight face? The drinks I had were ok, but nothing super memorable. Loved the vibe and I could see this place really popping off if they overhauled the menu. Until then, it's a pass for me.

    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.
