Honolulu Bars, Pubs & Clubs
Where to Go Out – and When – in Oahu

Look for PubClubettes at Honolulu's best pubs and clubs.

Visions of sitting under palm trees having boat drinks with pineapples and umbrellas sticking out of the glass being delivered by a waitress in a hula skirt is an intoxicating image of pubclubbing in Honolulu. While it's a vistion that becomes reality, there is certainly much more this town has to offer in its many pubs, bars and clubs.

This is the heart and soul of our virtual guide Honolulu, the best and coolest places to enjoy not only tropical drinks but good, cold beer, as well. This page defines the hip and hot places to be each night of the week. In the separate Pubs and Clubs sections, we tell why these are good places and detail many more fine watering holes. It is worth nothing that Duke's is a good choice anytime in the daytime and Lulu's Surf Club is leid-back Waikiki at night.

And here's a news flash – local promoter Flash (yes, that's his name) hosts several top-notch events on different nights at various venues. Information is under the banner of Skyline Two.

Tropical drinks make partying in Honolulu a fun experience.

• Mondays. SIN night at Lulu's, 50% off with industry i.d.
• Thursdays. Locals fill up the Shack, just opened in Waikiki (around the corner from International Marketplace behind Zanzibar) for $2 beers all night. All kinds of beers, too.
• Friday. See Happy Hour below, followed by pubbling or clubbing. Upscale eye candy at the W Hotel. First Friday Night, on the first Friday of each month, closes Nuvanu Avenue for strolls through art shops and other downtown spots. Click here for more about First Friday.
• Saturday. Bloody marys at The Harbor Pub, mai tais at the Mai Tai Bar (Royal Hawaiian), drinks at Duke's and a booze cruze. Okay, this could be any day. Then pubbing or clubbing at places like Lulu's.
• Sunday. Champagne brunch on the beach followed by the afternoon at Duke's for the live band, then (if still standing). Lulu's.

You may meet the PubClubettes when out in Honolulu!

• Monday: Booze cruise followed by SIN night at Lulu's Surf Club.
• Tuesday: Pearl for Ladies Night. Later – and more casual – it's Moose's for $1, $2, and $3 drinks.. Compadres recently (and suddenly) closed its doors, and with it the popular Taco Tuesday.
• Wednesday: The Mai Tai Bar iin the Ala Moana Shopping Center, Especially if there's a battle of the bands. For clubbing, locals don't bring their scruples into Scruples. On the North Shore, Banzai Sushi.
• Thursday: Sansai sushi restaurant in the Marriott.
• Happy Hour: Bars and restaurants in Honolulu and Waikiki Beach in particular have Happy Hours from daytime to late at night. Plus there's specials on various nights. A complete listing of these can be found in this separate PubClub.com article, Best Happy Hours in Waikiki and Honolulu

Special Party Events

The fun hardly stops here. Honolulu has a few special events during the year, as well. The best are:

• St. Patrick's Day. Who knew Honolulu has one of the best St. Paddy's celebrations in the world? PubClub, that's who!

• Summer Sand Bar Parties. A lot of those locals you see at the clubs spend some of their weekend days at this event. Boats and a band pull up to a sand bar and party all afternoon.

• The North Shore. It's a whole other world over there. Ya gotta know where to go but it's good.

* The Wave, Hawaii's most famous bar with live music, is gone, replaced by condo development. A sad development for Honolulu's nightlife scene.
