    Happy Pride, Honolulu! Looking back at past reviews spanning over a decade, I can't believe that this was my first time at Wang Chung's! I was already in Waikiki for work when I got a text asking if I wanted to go out for Karaoke - she had a friend visiting from LA and even tho it was a Thursday- I was down. This tiny little bar was PACKED on a Thursday night. And literally everyone was so friendly and the vibes were just right. It really felt like a safe space. I loved the decor from astro boy, the rainbow neon signs, and the old school airplane beverage carts! I only ordered a singular tequila shot with a pineapple back - so I can't speak on their speciality cocktails or anything like that. I will say, that I couldn't do my shot in one go and had to half it. I had a great night, made some new friends and reconnected with an old childhood friend. 5 stars for the amazing memories at Wang Chung's. If you're wondering, as a group we sang Santeria by Sublime and got home by midnight for the perfect karaoke night out. Also don't miss out on the free condoms and shout out to the person who gave us the newspaper so we could do the crossword?!

    Great neighborhood gay karaoke bar, but of course all are welcome. The toughest part is finding this place. I walked back and forth 3 times before I realized you have to walk to the back of a hotel. Karaoke starts whenever you feel like it and it's a dollar per request so bring cash. The lychee martini is good and packs a punch!! Really chill neighborhood local vibe here. I had fun and it was half a block away from my hotel!! Can't beat that when I stumbled back. I can't wait to return.

    Cheers!!!! To turning 21....

    Brought my shy daughter for her 21st Birthday after- dinner party here with a few friends for karaoke and for her 1st ETOH(alcohol) legal shot, I was anticipating for us to leave within an hour but she ended up singing to her heart's content to songs she requested in front of strangers, having a duet with a stranger, and for someone's first time singing karaoke in public and introverted she ended up having FUN and had the best 21st bday a mother can plan for spontaneously ! The drinks we ordered are all dangerously yummy , the Lilikoi shot she had which was offered by the gracious owner went down well like juice ... great ALOHA-vibe in this place where strangers ended up partying like OHANA after a few drinks and song requests .... I not only discovered my new karaoke buddy, we might be frequently seen at this joint from now on .... We all had a blast! Great turnout for spontaneous planning ... Most of all, I get to claim "coolest momma" of the year award from a grateful daughter ... Highly recommend this place for locals and tourists alike !!!

    Very divey locals only bar. The vibes are great during karaoke night. Super fun and lively atmosphere. Drinks are cheap and affordable compared to everywhere else on the strip. $11-$12 for a cocktail. Only downside is the bar is located on a very very sketchy side street and inside a rundown hotel.

The beautiful and large, open-air bar/restaurant is located on the second floor of the Waikiki Grand Hotel and has a nice, relaxed feel. There are tables by the open side of the lounge where you can watch the action in Waikiki below. Hula's is much more commercial than the other gay bars I visited in Honolulu, as the servers wore name tags and they had an extensive food menu. The decor was a little kitschy, too, but I loved it! I only came for a drink, though, which was a Blue Hawaiian (of course!), and it was delicious. The place wasn't too crowded while I was there, though it started to pick up a bit right when I was about to leave. There was a live singer performing local music, which was thoroughly enjoyable and the servers were friendly and attentive, too. I'll bet this is a really great place to hang out when it's got a drag show or a deejay going on. I'll definitely have to check this place out more the next time I'm in Honolulu. Five stars for atmosphere and potential!
