Such a beautiful Venue!!! Staff is amazing! Recommend you check their instagram page. We went one night and it was country, the next a DJ. We like more of a low key night out and made the mistake of coming on a club night. We came back the next night and it was a great band and we had some delicious chicken wings. Will definitely be back the next time they have live music!

The food was fantastic and nicely priced! Recommend the bonsai mango ribs, lollipop lamb chops, and ahi! Shout out Chef Allen Lopez! Great for happy hour, girls night out, date night, really occasion!
Drinks are all Gatsby themed, we loved the Across the Bay!
Such a vibe inside and out, with a stage and private rooms. Excited to see what this space turns into!
Street parking is limited but there is a deck across the street.

A nice start for a an incongruous restaurant / bar /lounge in the middle of the more industrial part of Kakaʻako. Seems like it’s trying to find its identity. Its wine list had a selection of hidden gems, like the Fattorio Moretto Lambrusco sparkling dry red wine from Italy (cheers to Kermit Lynch) and big brand names that one would expect, but it was disturbing to see a few of the names & regions misspelled. Same thing for spellings / accents on the menu. Anyway.
Definitely a long cocktail list & also has $$$ bottle service (?!).
Food was good, that’s for sure. My ahi tatki well prepared, lightly seared, a modest portion, elegantly presented. I enjoyed the salad of fresh, shaved daikon and cucumber in a light soy sauce-based seasoning underneath the tuna. My partner’s salmon was also delicious; the flavours melded well, with its creamy sauce on top and sautéed summer squashes. Products were fresh, and flavour combinations were well thought out.
Staff seemed young and inexperienced, but enthusiastic, kind and ready to serve.
Live music, guitar and trombone duo, was playing the Sunday evening that we were there. Lovely outside patio seating, and thankfully, when there is recorded music being played, it’s not too loud, so it’s possible to talk.
Parking can be tricky, unless you park in the parking garages in the area.
It’ll be interesting how this place evolves. Visited early May 2024.

Went with large group with outdoor seating. The happy hour tacos are $2, and some random simple drinks are cheaper. We had an outdoor seating. The bartender was extremely nice and she was very attentive and helpful. The live music is indoors, but they play the music on speakers to the outside and there are screens to watch the musician perform.
Outside, a lot of people were smoking (cigars mainly) and so it got pretty hazy for me. I think the vibe is pretty good for group settings though. Hard to get a reservation here though – make sure to book in advance early.

Absolutely incredible atmosphere! You have patio, bar, stage and private rooms to choose from. That’s just the start. The food is delightful as well as an incredible drink menu with high class bartenders. Workplay offers live music as well, which is always a special touch to the dining experience. Last but not least, the staff from hostess to kitchen staff and bartenders were all communicating and meshing as a collective team to create success during a very busy evening crowd.

This is a nice place. They have a good amount of outdoor seating in a comfortable space. I haven’t tried most of their food, just snacked on some appetizers. We tried some street tacos and chips n salsa, both of which were good. The cocktails are great and they also had some good beer and wine options. It seems pretty popular, but if you get here early, it is a pretty quiet spot to relax a bit.

Every time we order a drink here during an event the music is so loud they remove their menu so they can overcharge. $37 for two margaritas that had no alcohol in them AND tasted blehhh. No longer buying drinks from this place. Too many times where the drinks cost way more then their menu prices and the bartenders are lame and suck at their job.
People should change the price ticker on this spot. For a $18.50 margarita I expect it to be in a real glass and look cute. I’m not at a house party.

DO NOT COME HERE. Absolutely horrible experience. The venue was filthy, there was vomit on the floor. When I checked my bill, I saw a “large party charge” of 20% added even though we only ordered three drinks. When I asked the bartender about it, she said they automatically add this 20% charge to every order, even if you’re alone and just order one drink. Counter to what the owner says, there was absolutely no signage whatsoever. This place is a scam.

Great venue, we were here for the HI93 Battle of the Bands and the sound was great. As was the atmosphere.

Awesome place to hang out with friends for drinks, entertainment, pupus, and a smoke. Must do Happy Hour 4-6 pm. If you are a smoker of cigars then you can hang outside with plenty of seating out in the open or pick one of the few off to the side spots. Cigar selection is minimal, but you can bring your own. Drinks are good and the bartenders and servers are fun to chat with. The pupus are excellent, not bar food, with great Tacos, chips and other items to choose from. The entertainment is inside, but is on large screens for viewing outside. Individual rooms inside too, if you don’t want to be in the open for the stage. So much going on with different shows, music, lecture, comedians…This is a must visit over and over. Just ensure you have reservations and parking planned out.
