    My husband and I went here on a whim after finding this place online and we are so glad we did! The speakeasy is inside the Hawaiian Brian's club, but hidden behind a door that looks like a vintage vending machine. The ambiance inside is a unique blend of Japanese and urban with musical tracks from artists like Nujabes to match. Fern and Elsa served us and were friendly and so welcoming, answering questions and the menu and making great cocktail recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed our drinks (several of which are named after famous anime characters) which were a unique blend of Japanese inspired botanicals, and a couple of side dishes. The ube sake shot was dangerously delicious and the mushroom boa were savory and tasty. This was the most unique place we vision our trip and we hope to visit again on our next Hawaiian vacation. If you are in the Ala Moana area, definitely stop by!

    Wild Orange is a speakeasy bar located inside Hawaiian Brian's Social Club. It's a hidden bar and you'll have to find the entrance in order to get in. To find the door, go to the second floor of the parking garage and walk through the doors of HB Social Club. Walk half way down the hall and you'll see a dark hallway to your right. Go down the hallway until you see a "juice machine". Of course, it isn't actually a juice machine and is the door! To enter you'll need some nickels to put through the slot and the sound will let you know you have opened the door and can push through. If you don't have nickels, the bar has conveniently left some in a bowl next to the machine. They have a list of cocktails (both signature and seasonal), mocktails, and a list of shots that can be made into full-sized cocktails. The purple dragon is their most popular drink and had an ube and slight coconut flavor; it was sweet and easy to drink. The kohana tai was very strong and super spirit forward, almost too much even for me. The cafe colada was one of our favorites and not too sweet or coconut-y. The heat n up was very spicy and took us a while to finish because of the intense spice. For non-drink related items, all their food is plant-based. They allow reservations online and I recommend making them. If you do park they will validate. Our parking was $10 but with validation we only paid $2.

    "Oh yeah, I've been known to drink a beer or two. But then again, I've been known to do a lot of things." - Cosmo Kramer, Seinfeld In true speakeasy style, entrance is via a door disguised as an Aloha Maid vending machine; nestled down a dark hallway, in Hawaiian Brian's pool hall. You must face the dragon guarding magic coins that allow the door to open... da Scene: Tried out a couple spots for post-dinner drinks while back home on Oahu, Lewers Lounge, Vintage Bookstore, Veranda, Green Lady, and now Wild Orange. Cool vibes walking in 9pm on a Sat. nite, crowd was a good mix of locals and visitors. Looked like 5-6 4 tops and we took up 4 of about 10 seats at the bar. A great wall of vintage pinball machines helps set the stage; but 1st thing that hits me is the scent of the place, it smelled somehow like a speakeasy should... smoldering & sultry, yet had a distinctive welcoming island vibe. I was immediately transported to a comfortable space in my head, ready for what the nite had in store. da Libations: We just came from a great dinner @ Merrimans, so didn't do food this trip, but menu is interesting enough that I'd sample for sure next time. Drink menu is fairly deep, something for every palate; sweet, savory, fruit, bitter, wine, top shelf bottles, sake, beers... but speakeasy visit demands cocktails!! I'm a whiskey guy so go in for Miller Time and Santa's (sumptin, I forget) both executed well, pretty "boozey" - sip slow and drink lots of water! The girls all enjoyed theirs, oh they even had 4 "zero alcohol" options! Much appreciated by my wife, who loved the experience with a real, complex cocktail, sans alcohol. Usually she ends up with a juice or soda, so this was a treat. Really well thought out and I'm sure taste tested; well balanced flavor combos. da Service: All service staff were really nice. Attentive (but not intrusive), friendly (but authentic and genuine), plus FUN! Only got the name of our bartender, "Sam" if I heard right; she was on point all nite and made sitting at bar "performance art". It was plain she's seasoned behind the bar; at one point I think she had like 6 drinks going but STILL put on a show with short and long pour displays and shaking things up 2 at a time. Efficiency, meets skill, meets fun. Great to watch someone so good at their craft. Thanks Sam! We would've stayed for a 3rd round if didn't have to be in Waipio for my nephews soccer match @ 9am. Must visit spot, glad we peeked in, hope my sister starts girls nights here soon.

    How have I not reviewed this place before? Well maybe because I wanted to keep it hush hush. Words been out for quite some time now and yet Wild Orange is still a favorite in terms of "speakeasy vibes" on island. Reservations strongly recommended. This place serves up impressive cocktails organized by taste, whether it be sweet, bitter, booze forward that you're into. The bites are yum! Yes, they are vegan only and no, I am not vegan myself. As long as you're not closed minded the bites serve up deliciousness! Many carnivore and omnivore friends agree! The vibe is dark, cozy and intimate. Okay for a party of 6 or less, better for small group outings or a date night. Now that you're intrigued, just need to find the entrance. Maybe grab a drink from the vending machine before? It'll only cost you a nickel!

    Wild Orange is a true speakeasy experience -- so much so that finding it felt like an adventure in itself. We actually had to pull up a few TikToks just to figure out where the entrance was. Once we stepped inside, we were completely transported. The ambiance is incredible: retro, moody, and effortlessly cool, with a curated vibe that makes the whole space feel special. The drink menu has great variety, and everything we tried felt intentional and well-crafted. I ordered the Easy Squeezy, which features fresh orange juice -- and you can absolutely taste the difference. Bright, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. If you're in want a memorable, hidden-gem cocktail experience, Wild Orange is absolutely worth the hunt

    My friends found this speakeasy through social media and we decided to come check it out. They offer reservations on their website and luckily we came on a Wednesday so they pretty much had full availability up until the day of although it does fill up as the day passes. One tip would be to put your entire party on one reservation so you can be seated together. We didn't know and made 4 separate reservations per group and we had to be seated separately. The hosts are also pretty strict about not getting up from your table to walk around. Eventually a table had left and they were able to move my party next to the rest of our friends so I really appreciated that. They offer cocktails, mocktails, and a good variety of food. All their drinks are tasty so any one you get would not miss. They have small cocktail shots for $10 and their regular cocktails are $17. You can also make any of the cocktail shots into a regular cocktail and just pay the $17 price. Overall it was a cool experience and would highly recommend checking it out!

    Wild Orange is hands down one of the most unique and memorable bars I've ever visited in Honolulu. From the moment we dropped that nickel into the Aloha Maid vending machine and heard "Welcome to Wild Orange. Access granted," we knew we were in for something special (then found out you don't need to actualldrop a nickel... lol). The atmosphere is absolutely one-of-a-kind. The Japanese-inspired décor with the glowing orange tree centerpiece, vintage Bally pinball machine backglasses covering the walls, and ambient lighting creates an otherworldly vibe that feels both intimate and enchanting. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to transport you somewhere completely different. Every single drink we tried was perfectly crafted with delicate, balanced flavors that showcased true mixology artistry. The branded clear ice cubes were a nice touch that showed their attention to detail. What really impressed my lady (and me!) was how smoothly the alcohol was integrated - the flavors were so well-masked and harmonious that each sip was just pure enjoyment without any harshness. These aren't just drinks; they're liquid art. The service deserves special mention too. Our bartenders were incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable without being overbearing. They made us feel welcome and took the time to explain the cocktails and make recommendations based on our preferences. Wild Orange is an absolute must-visit, if you can find the bar, that is.

    Fantastic speakeasy. Definitely make a reservation online. Attached to a parking structure, bring your ticket in to get validated. I did not try the food but it looked delicious. Food menu consisted of pupus that were vegan. Drinks were fantastic! I solely drink gin and was very impressed with the cocktails. Service was fantastic & a big part of the reason we're coming back. The bartenders on Saturday night were attentive, knowledgeable, and super friendly! The ambiance is perfect for either just a girls night or a date! Thanks you guys!

    So make reservations!!! They are small and popular for the fact that they are so good, the vibe is vibing and the drinks are amazing! Best part they are so reasonably priced. I loved both of my drinks, they were prefect! The grass-hapa tasted like a mint chip ice cream. But not overly sweet! I loved it. I also had the Heat-n-up that tasted like an upscale jalapeño marg We are going back for sure. Although this time we will be tasting some of the whiskey/bourbons they are the best price around to get a neat pour. ***hint when you make reservations you will get a text that will help you find the secret entrance.****

    Came here for a welcome party and it was such a cool vibe! The outside of the place was very unassuming but once you figure out how to get inside, the ambiance and decorations really set the mood. I wish I took more pictures inside but there's a tree in the middle and plenty of seating. There is a bar seating, sofas, and small chairs. I loved the wall of what looked like stain glass with all the different cities. If you like drinks that are more sweet, I would opt for the purple dragon and hold the boba! The purple dragon is non alcoholic but they can make it alcoholic! I think they used sake.

    Wild Orange is a speakeasy that kept underground for a year, not appearing in any media before going public about its existence, as if prohibition was recently repealed. We took a few visiting friends out as they wanted to try a speakeasy and luckily for us, both Wild Orange and my friends' idle Wednesday made for easy reservations. We were the only people for the first thirty minutes at opening, so if you like your speakeasies quiet, consider off days. All the food is vegan, so take that into mind. We got several orders of the steamed char Sui Bao and spvm (presumably the v is for vegan) musubi. They both appear to be soy based but the vegan spam was exceedingly close to the real thing. Wondering if they press, marinate, and then smoke the presumably tofu or tempeh to get that spam like flavor and texture. The bao had something similar, but in a classic Chinese style white bao. I prefer baked bao overall, but not a bad choice to soak up the booze. As for alcohol, Wild Orange offers a number of shots that can also be turned into a cocktail. We got the Honey Tai and Purple dragon as shots, along with Purple Dragon, Fuu, Sargent Pepper, Easy Squeezy, Kohana Tai, Broken Record and hold the boba in cocktail form. The Purple Dragon, Hold the Boba, and Broken Record were my favorite. Both the Purple Dragon and Hold the Boba was very creamy and smooth, where the Broken Record was flavorful without any burn. You don't need a nickel anymore to unlock the vending machine door, but it does make cool sounds if you do put a nickel in. The speakeasy is dark inside, but cutely decorated. Staff are polite, fast, and efficient. Bathroom is shared with the rest of HB Social Club. They partially validate parking in the attached lot. If you're walking to Wild Orange, enter via the 24-Hour Fitness at the ground floor and walk up the internal staircase of the building

    Love the concept of the bar and how you have to put in a nickel to enter the vending machine! If you don't have a nickel, you can always ask the bartender in Hawaiian Brian's for a nickel and they'll give you one. It does get pretty crowded, so make sure to get a reservation in if you want a guaranteed seating. You'll have 2 hours for each reservation. The drinks were fantastic! It was a bit pricey, but the drinks were tasty and delicious. Definitely one of the best bars with the best drinks! Will come back for sure to try out their other drinks!

    Cute, little speakeasy hidden behind a drink machine. The decor was super cool and created some great photo ops. The drinks were unique in their ingredient combinations but nothing really stood out to me or blew me out of the water. The bartenders were all inviting and helpful. Although I was stuffed from dinner, a friend ordered a few pupus, all are vegan. Both buns were just ok, the mushrooms was the more flavorful of the two options but I really enjoyed the cucumbers the most in that bun. The dumplings were OK, nothing crazy but not bad. The "ahi" poke was super flavorful and delicious and really made me think I was eating fish. My partner and I were shocked it wasn't fish but actually tomatoes. Would definitely order that again! Overall, it was a neat experience but the drinks were just ok.

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.

That's a shame because it has the potential to be very good. When you start with a cocktail concept that is deliberately kept low key with no signage, and a drink menu that rotates and evolves, you have a pretty good floor to start. Having a cozy place to settle in and being able to enjoy food from Chris Kajioka should give 430 Pkwy a high ceiling. If you like an espresso martini try something a little different. Their Espressing My Love batches espresso with Averna, black walnut bitters, and a unique monkeypod syrup. Unfortunately, there is no espresso machine so you cannot get fresh drawn espresso to make a Carajillo the way Cafe Miro use to. The ahi brioche is a carry over from all Chris Kajioka places. The grilled cheese is excellent. Hotdogs are kicked up - it used to be a black truffled miso chicken sausage but the current one is a little different. The problem is the food preparation totally undermines the whole place. Without a separate kitchen you have frying being done just a few feet away from where cocktails are made. If you sit on the right side of the bar you will quickly understand why this doesn't work. I would come here more frequently if i didn't have to smell like cooking oil afterwards. Fix that problem and this place would rock.

SERVICE: friendly INTERIOR: modern, chic yet laid back EXTERIOR: on the rooftop at The LAYLOW, good amount of seating WAIT TIME: less than 10 mins to grab a drink at the bar, got seated in the dining area maybe an hour after we arrived (did not have reservations) PARKING: got dropped off OVERALL COMMENTS: always wanted to come here n' finally after how many years made my way on a Saturday night. Entered the elevator n' saw their July music calendar posted, which was great bc I wanted to be in a music setting. They have live music n' a DJ on the weekends. Couldn't decide on a drink so the bartender asked what I liked n' my go-to request is for "fruity, strong, n' sweet." It turned out creamy n' good. The pupus we ordered to snack on were delicious, would definitely order them again. Atmosphere was nice n' casual. Drinks were good, food was great, n' the beats the night I went was my kine of music!

    What we thought was a pawn shop turned out to be... a speakeasy?!…read more What a lovely surprise. A gem of a find! I will never forget this experience. I was just skipping around town exploring wanting to check-in to as many places as I could like the responsible Yelp elite that I am and then I find this amazing hole on the wall speakeasy. The lovely gentleman in the front welcomed us in to take a look around and I asked him if I could take photos for yelp and he told me that if I was going to write a review, I had to join them. So of course, I took the invite and decided to stay for a little while. We sat at a nice area. A perfect little place. I just want to take a snapshot and keep it in my memory so I can emulate it and turn it into my home study. I could stay here forever. The vibes were on point. The server recommended drinks that he thought we would like, and we loved both of them. I don't remember what the drinks were called, but mine had a blueberry taste to it, and my friend had a mock tail, but some sort of Yuzu to it. We also shared a $15 charcuterie graze. 10 out of 10 would recommend being curious and opening doors to finding out that there's a speakeasy randomly in an area you never thought would be there. What an amazing experience.

    This spot is the place to be in Waikiki! Definitely make a reservation because this place fills up…read morefast, especially later into the night. What surprised me most was how good the food was for the price. Usually spots with this kind of atmosphere rely on the drinks to carry the experience, but every dish actually delivered. The chicken karaage was crispy and packed with flavor, the beef takoyaki disappeared almost instantly, and the taro chips with mascarpone were such a unique combination. Between the cocktails, food, service, and atmosphere, everything just worked.
