ame is the best promoter! I am a visitor from California and she took care of us by reserving a table at the best night club in Oahu

Located in Ala Moana, District has easily become one of the well-known clubs in Honolulu. I appreciate that there is a dress code so people don't just pull up in shorts and a t-shirt. I also appreciate that when you check in with Yelp, you get 1 free admission. Unfortunately, I have to give this place 2 stars. Here's why- Music was alright, didn't like the EDM/Techno music. Over priced drinks, very confusing tab situation. One of my girlfriends got charged an extra $100 a few days after we came here. Not sure why, + she doesn't have receipts to appeal the unnecessary charge.. Also, one of the bartenders (blonde to be specific) was the only one behind the bar at one point.. she was going down the bar (from left to right) making peoples drinks when there was a clear line that was formed in front of the register. That made a lot of people that were standing in line very frustrated that those walking up to the bar were cutting and getting drinks before those who had been waiting for a while. It was really unorganized. She also had a bad attitude and was yelling at a few of the customers. She seemed very flustered. Would I come back? Maybe. Definitely not my first choice of club. read more

I rarely go to clubs anymore, but had a friend visiting who loves them. I figured we should try somewhere new since our old favorite places are long closed. We decided on District and arrived a little early, because we're cool like that. The club is under Ala Moana Center, easy to get to and park nearby, or get dropped off with a ride share right at the door. The line was short when we arrived, they're strict about IDs, but otherwise it was easy to get in. Cover for guys, again, we're too cool to get in free. The place was nicer than we assumed it'd be. The main area is open and spacious, with plenty of standing room, places to sit drinks, plus a large dance floor and central DJ stand. The restrooms were also large, bright, and kept very clean by the attendant. The most surprising thing was how nice the bartenders were; they were eager to serve and easy to get their attention. They had a few bars around the room, so it's convenient as well. You can open tabs here, just don't forget to pic up your card! As the hours passed, it got really busy with a diverse group of people, it's also all ages over 21. All in all, if I was forced to go clubbing in Honolulu again, this would be my choice. Use the Yelp check-in deal for free entry before 11:30pm. read more

This club was so fun and stays open until 4 am! The Dj was also very good and played a wide variety of music. We did not order any food but the drinks were made fairly well and there is a nice size dance floor. They also have tables to purchase as well. The crowd was enjoyable and the music range from pop, early 2000's to rap, hip hop, dance/techno. The dj did take turns playing music which I feel really helped ensure everyone continued to have a good time ! Thank you read more

I go here basically every weekend nowadays. The music is always bumpin' and the staff here are so nice! I'd like to spotlight a specific promoter named Ame because every time I go, she's always so friendly and personable and makes my club experience just so much better overall so I always find myself coming back here LMAO I'm also a dancer and I swear they play songs for everyone here so it's always a vibe. Highly recommend read more

Honestly, we went there on a Thursday night, pretty crowded, AC was nonexistent and they kept blowing smoke which made it hard to breathe. Although the music was pretty good(s/o to the DJ Thurs night 9/20/24) the vibe was immediately off. Lots of weirdos and pervs. I went with 5 girls and I needed to sober up and be aware of my and my friend's surroundings being the only guy. Anyways just be aware, they be letting anyone in since my friends felt uncomfortable read more

District is the most fun club on Oahu! Highly recommend coming here if you want to have a good time!

I came here on my vacation in Hawaii from San Diego (but originally from the Bay Area) and I felt like this nightclub was just alright.. I'm definitely used to way more ratchet hip hop and trap. I came here on a Saturday night on the weekend before labor day and I was a bit disappointed by the music. Maybe it was early still (11:30pm) but they were playing a lot of super chill popular hip hop songs (some Drake and what not) and chill classics. It made me feel a little sober so my boyfriend and I each got a drink and they were surprisingly pretty strong. I think later on in the night at 12:30 they finally dropped some ratchet stuff Hmm overall it was alright. It didn't look like the dress code was suuper strict? I saw someone wearing that flower patterned hawaiian shirt from Abercrombie. There's also a cute wall that says 'Good Vibes' for that ig pic read more

Been going to District for years now, and it's def the place to be on the weekends. Great music, delicious pizza & Alcohol? What more can you ask for? read more

If you are looking for a great place to party and have a great time with your friends then this is the place you need to be! Music is always good, Workers are always professional and friendly. Also A HUGE shout out to my guy Jason best promoter! If you need a promoter hit him up! You'll get 5 star service alway! read more

It's always hard to gauge how good nightlife is from yelp since reviews are skewed more towards people who have a terrible time. As a result, I was happily surprised that District exceeded my expectations! Nothing crazy special about this place, but it plays good music, is a decent size, gets packed around midnight and has a lot of fans so it's not too hot! I deducted a star for things listed in "the bad" section below. The good: 1. There were a lot of fans surrounding the dance floor so it was a reasonable temperature and not burning up like some clubs even with the dance floor full. 2. It's connected to a bar that has seating and a happy hour special until 11:30 pm. The club doesn't have seating unless you get a vip table. 3. Smoke machines and lasers added a cool effect! 4. There's a hot dog food stand right outside! I didn't get one, but another night it would really hit the spot. The bad: 1. I think the layout could be improved if the dance floor were bigger since there's these large open areas between the bars, the dance floor and the vip tables. 2. As noted by other yelpers, the DJ never played a full song and kept changing songs half way through. It didn't bother me too much since all the songs were bangers, but it really annoyed my boyfriend. Dress code: It seems they actually enforce the no shorts rule for guys since all the guys I saw inside wore pants. A lot of women were either in dresses or cute crop top and short/skirt outfits. I did see some women in flip flops and more casual clothes despite their "business casual" dress code on their website. Basically, women can wear whatever and guys just need to wear pants and whatever shirt. Here's how our night went down: We got to the club around 10:50 pm on a Saturday since the guest list (free entry) closes at 11pm. There was only one group in front of us so we got in within a minute or two. No issues with the bouncers or woman checking our IDs. As expected the club was pretty empty since it was early (maybe 20 people?), so we went into the connected bar. I only realized later that it was a separate bar and not technically part of the club, but that makes sense since there's a guy checking for the club's stamp to get back into the main club area. The bar has both booths and high tables and a TV. Happy hour goes until 11:30 pm, but we had pregamed enough that we didn't get anything. We went back into the club around 11:30 pm and it had filled up quite a bit (70ish people) with a couple people on the dance floor. We stayed on the dance floor for about an hour and by the end of that time it went from almost empty to very packed. We ended up leaving around 12:30 am since it was the last day of our vacation and we were wiped. The club was definitely lit by the time we left and I wish I had enough energy to stay for a couple more hours! Overall, I had a good time, definitely would go back next time I'm in Honolulu and recommend it to friends! I'm not sure how good the drinks were since we didn't get any, but the fact the dance floor wasn't 1,000 degrees was the main highlight! That fact alone made it better than a lot of clubs! read more

I visisted Hawaii recently and decided to check out District since it was recommended by a few people and it did not dissapoint! Great music and atmosphere! Felt very much like I was back home in a LA club. Jason and Dane were amazing promoters and really helped my friends and I have a great time. Will definitely be coming back whenever I come back to visit!!! read more

One of the only clubs I'll go to and a place I highly recommend when ppl ask what's lit on a Saturday night! The bartenders are nice & fast, the music and the drinks are fire and they close at 4am. Plus they play music you can actually dance to! Mostly hip hop and r&b throughout the night and towards the end they play EDM! You also can walk into The Parlor that's connected inside and get some surprisingly good bar food & then head back into District for more fun . read more

Love the music! Also the bodyguards really do their job to keep it safe. See you guys again Saturday

Went here for my first nightlife experience in Honolulu. It was a lot of fun! The line was super long and there is a $20 cover fee. However, if you check in with yelp they offered free admission. The music was good and the vibe was nice. All the songs played were perfect and there wasn't​ a moment I was left awkwardly​ standing because I didn't​​ like the music. Some male guests can be a little handsy, but nothing too aggressive. The crowd was lively and not too many wall huggers. The girls were also super friendly which is always fun because who doesn't​ like making new friends while traveling? The bathrooms are suppeerr clean which is amazing for a night club lol. Overall, it was a good time. read more

The District - How you know you've made it to The District - Dance Clubs Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Jason the promoter is the best on the island, bartenders are always on point and security is the best

The District Nightclub I went here on two different occasions, my experiences were very similar. AMBIANCE: Parking: This place does get packed so be sure to carpool. We did park at the mall but wouldn't encourage it as you can get towed but do try street parking. Feels: A very popping place. It's dark but the flashing lights makes things not too dark. Generally it's been 90-now hip-hop. It wouldn't really be a place to flaunt your skills as it does get crowded but still good fun, I didn't encounter any fights or anything so that's cool. CUSTOMER SERVICE: The bartender was attentive and the bouncers were cool. TL; DR OVERALL: 4 Stars. It's pretty good place for good music and to get down however it does get very crowded. It does simmer during the last hour but then the floor gets super sticky. Though I cannot compare to other places, this is a solid on to check out. TIPS: * Free entry if you check-in on Yelp. read more

The District - So the night begins - Dance Clubs Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I came here on a Wednesday around 11:30PM for spring break and the first 2 hours I was having fun. They started off with a female DJ then switched off to some male. The moment he started playing songs, it was almost exactly what the first DJ had played . It was as if he used the same mix she had and just put it on shuffle. I've never experienced DJs using each other's playlists to entertain everyone throughout the night and i was extremely disappointed. If you come here on a weekday I'd suggest coming here for roughly 2 hours then going to another nightclub. Listening to the same songs over and over again is sad, hire DJs who know that there are thousands of other songs to choose from to keep the crowd entertained. DONT STAY HERE FOR MORE THAN A COUPLE HOURS UNLESS YOU LIKE HEARING SONGS ON REPEAT! read more

As fun as this place can be it is also way too crowded and parking can be a challenge. It's sometimes difficult to get a drink and the line for the bathroom can be insane. The bartenders are friendly though and if you can afford it I recommend getting bottle service. read more

Great environment! Love the music and drinks were good priced. The staff was great as well. Me and my friend has a great time and we will defiantly come back. read more

Terrible Club. Got a vip table and wasn't told it would be in the back. Asked for a refund and was denied because "they opened the bottle"... I replied with I'll pay with the bottle that's fine just not the booth it was in a back room behind main dance floor/ club can't see it or hear it or see anyone, I MEAN COMPLETELY EMPTTY. They showed a paper my boyfriend signed and they said what he signed was obligation to pay but when he signed they told him that it was just they no outside alcohol and continued to say no cause the booth came with the bottle but it was 2 separate charges $180 for the bottle and $150 for the booth so how was it together when it was 2 charges.... And was no Dj in the back where the booth was. My boyfriend came back from the bathroom and said multiple times he would not want the booth, we got walked to the booth seen it and walked out. Didn't sit there for an hour was probably like 3 min Didn't accommodate or refund. So they can't refund me the booth because the bottle open? That makes no sense because when they brought the bottle it was closed... they opened it in-front of us. Lol no dancing music only rap that you can't dance too. Bathrooms gross probably haven't been cleaned for a year. DO NOT GO TO THIS CLUB!!! Go to the bars instead lol I dreaded the whole thing. read more

Awesome club to unwind the long week of work .... Love the place the people the food and drinks. read more

Mostly local crowd, poor service. Low quality bouncers, for example: I didn't want to buy a girl a drink - she complains next thing you know I'm kicked out and the bouncers are arguing over why I was thrown out they took my cash too. Just skip this place. read more

Very amazing club to go to, especially if you like EDM and Hip Hop music. Also they do have a dress code for guys, seems like any shirt is fine but pants/jeans are a must read more

The music is always awesome that the dance floor is always packed! Bartenders are quick to service, usually within 2 min they're able to supply 10+ shots with my big group of friends. And we always end the night with bacon wrapped hotdogs served right outside. Shout out to Jason for always always taking care of my friends and I read more

Always a great time, open until 4 am. Two different dance floors with different vibes. Thursdays is open now with awesome throwback music. Also, amazing pizza choices are available. read more

District is a fun place with great music. Jason was very helpful. Would definitely recommend to visitors who are looking for a good time.

Get rid of the bathroom attendants. They're too pushy for tips and it's honestly not needed in a place like this

Lit and fun place when you wanna go and have a good time ! The staff from security to bartenders to promoters is all super friendly. It is a nicely run nightclub that plays lit music and brings good vibes! Fred who is one of the promoters hands down is the best ! He takes care and makes sure you're having a good time throughout the night ! read more

We went to District Nightclub for their New Years Eve event. We decided to get the VIP tickets and glad we did! There was a separate bar with no line and snacks and food. The music was fun and tons of people. Also had a countdown to midnight, of course! Since it was NYE there was dress code which was fine for us, but we did see other people have to wear sweatpants over their shorts, I guess shorts aren't allowed! But we had a great time and would recommend it. The scene was definitely more mid twenties to early thirties. read more

Been going to district with my girlfriends since we turned 21! Good vibes, great music, and awesome promoters. Made a lot of friends in my adult social life from this place hahaha. My go-to club always! read more

My boyfriend and I were excited to get here. Upon arrival we went through the only open entrance and we were told to "read the signs". The general entrance was closed which was why we did not go through it originally. They told us the copay was 20$ cash only which i paid. The bouncer told my boyfriend there is no hats allowed. He said okay and bowed his head for the bouncer to remove it due to his prior rudeness towards him. Bouncer then said "take it off," my boyfriend took it off and they held it for him. We waited there for an hour and saw three people there the entire time. We are from NY and were shocked by the rudeness of staff which says a lot. Very unfortunate. I've been a lot of places and traveled all over and this is my first negative review. read more

The District - Dance Clubs Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Me and my friends been going to district for a while now and let me tell you it's an awesome club. The music is great and if you and your friends are hungry you can order a pizza in the other side of the club. The bouncers are all so nice and the service is always great. Definitely go check them out and have a blast with your friends. read more

In all honesty if I could give this place 0 stars I would. Granted, this is a nightclub and there aren't many expectations to have. I don't expect exceptional customer service or a spectacular venue. It's an open space, likely with a bar, DJ and a dance floor. And if it's really fancy, some extra seating for non-VIP patrons to rest your aching feet from your 4 inch heels. However, at a bare minimum I would expect a basic level of respect for patrons. This night club has a lounge connected to it, where you can hang with friends in a more quiet atmosphere that the club portion. The bartenders claim there is a $20 tab in the club area and a $30 tab in the lounge. A guy in my party order drinks in the club since we were in there for Salsamor. We got hungry and wanted to grab pizza in the lounge. He ordered a water but left his card at the bar in the club. When he got to the lounge, the bartender wanted to start a tab in there as well. When we were ready to leave, he told the guy he needed to order 2 drinks to make the $30 tab. So he ended up paying $50 just to get his card back. Now, I'm not sure if he was made aware of the amount of the tabs before or after he went to close out, but that's ridiculous. It's the same place. I ordered a pizza. There's a happy hour special until 11:30 for $3 off the pizza. The cashier charged me full price for the pizza even though I ordered before 11:30. Simple mistake. However when I went back to ask for my money (I already ate the pizza and the crews had changed) the bartender kind of gave me a hard time about getting my $3 back. He was snickering with the cook back and forth. Finally after asking politely 3 times for my money back, the cook reluctantly gave me my money back and said some more things under his breath. Seriously, the pizza wasn't even that good (The crust was burned in most areas) and if you're going to have a happy hour deal then honor it. Oh, and the bartender tried to tell me the deal was only $1 off not $3, the sign above the bar clearly says $3 off until the 11:30 I was just so over being here. The bartender in the club killed my night. Not sure if he was having a bad day, but he's literally the reason I will never go back here or recommend anyone go there. There's lots of other nightclubs to go to that have a more pleasant atmosphere. Also, when the guy in my group when to close his tab out, the bartender in the lounge ignored him for like 10 minutes. Mind you, there was barely anyone in there. The guy was standing right in front of the bartender and he continued to converse with someone at the end of the bar, ignoring him. We all had to stand here a while, waiting for him to cash out. I've never in my life had such a terrible experience at a night club. read more

It's Hawaii I came in shorts , they told me no , ( had a hat on at the time ) then I changed came back and then they said no hat , while vip members were going in with hats, I asked if I can get a vip and they said sold out , asked to purchase a bottle still no, not going back read more

great music and vibes. it's not as crowded as other places. pretty long time to get in since there's a lot of security. good in and out privileges once you get stamped. read more

Do not go here lol. Please message me why as it is wayyyyy to much to type. I'll be MORE than happy to state reasons and provide recommendations to other places to spend your money. read more

LOCATION: District is conveniently located near many other clubs/bars; great for a stop if club/bar hopping (I guess). Beneath the Republik Venue. It is the old Bar 7. PARKING: Not too sure where exactly you're allowed to park (I assume you can park across the way at Ala Moana except the mall is closed so you could be towed ?) They have valet parking for extra $10, I believe. The cover charge is ridiculous, $15. I paid 10$ last time I came but this Saturday Night (6/16/18) was $15. I'm used to clubs being $10; Charing any more than that for that kind of space is BS to me. Only time I've ever paid for something more than that was when the club had a special host or some shit. The club at least features 3 separate bars, A sectioned off dance floor and seating areas for dummies who pay more to be some kind of exclusive member. There is a "private" or another sectioned off seating space in or that's a part of the DJ Booth which also faces the dance floor. Restrooms for men and women. As I've stated before (in another review), I AM NOT A FAN of places that allow you to bring drinks into the dance floor. People are too incompetent and incapable of HANDLING their liquids. A woman for some reason dropped her glass bottle right by her side which was near a friend and didnt bother with it. She literally stepped to the side and kept grinding on her partner. I sought out to find a bouncer or worker and it was rather hard for me to distinguish who was who because they (the security) did not stand out. I ended up going to a bartender who had a stank attitude she told another guy and I could tell she was not having it so I walked over to him and told him I'd show him where it was. The fog/smoke machines seems like a nice touch but no. The one the left of the DJ Booth (when you're facing the DJ) is leaking, which is "aw hell no," for me. Their drink for their cranberry and vodka was a lot smaller than Mai Tai's. They use plastic cups for their drinks which is cool or whatever but why the glass bottles on the dance floor, man??? Smh I rated it the way I did because the DJ was whack, playing slow lovey dovey songs towards the ending of the night. The throwbacks were nice but you gotta play something people wanna/can move to and not just rap to. read more
