If you're looking for an upscale and relaxing environment in Waikiki this is the spot for you. Playing jazz each night with great cocktails and snacks. The atmosphere is very chill and they usually require nice clothing.
Great place my new wife and I frequented. Did not realize it was so fancy, as I was asked to take my hat off. No problem. Gets busy on the weekends, but mid-week it's perfect. My wife and I were the only ones there on Monday and Tuesday and the piano man and horn guy accommodated our song requests. Surprised not much other people were there. I definitely put on slacks and Hawaiian shirt the next day and felt dressed for the occasion. Nice first romantic finish to the evening, as my wife and I were the only ones dancing. The act the following day was not as good.
Always a great time here always treated with respect and always a great atmosphere. Love the music love the people.
Overall 9.5/10 Lowers Lounge consistently delivers one of the best cocktail experience in Hawaii, bar none. Location: 9/10 Located in the heart of Waikiki, Hale Kulani is easily accessible with friendly valet service. It's also a short walk from the entrance. Ambiance: 10/10 It doesn't get better than this. A quiet, elegant live Jazz bar, gorgeous decor and perfect lighting. The smoky vocals are only matched in smoothness by the smoke rings cocktail. Seating: 8.5/10 With bar, table, booth and chair seating, Lewers Lounge offers a nice, comfortable environment. Unfortunately not all seats give a view of the live jazz, but a majority do. Make sure to either show up early if you want good seats. The music starts at 830pm, but doors open at 7. Drinks: 9/10 24 for a premium, artisan crafted cocktail in Waikiki is a steal! In a town where bottle beer costs between 8 and 16, these drinks are an amazing value. The Smoke Rings drink is a solid entry if you enjoy an old fashioned. It wasn't the best smoke infused cocktail I've had, but it was very good. My wife's The Very Thought of You is their take on an espresso martini. She didn't like the squeeze of lemon they finish it off with, while I love it. Other than that, it was another strong effort. We've never had a bad drink here. Food: N/A Since they only offer light food options, we usually go to dinner after our drinks. The free mixed nuts they offer, however, are warm and slightly toasted. They are fantastic!
Beautiful bar with amazing drinks and great food. The service is great, and the atmosphere is very civilized and sophisticated. Loved it!
We love the lounge for many reasons, but mostly for listening to Maggie and/or Rocky when they are performing. The haupia cake and cocktails are great, but apparently you can’t get the cake after ten. The dress code is much more relaxed except that you still can’t wear nice sandals. This seems strange in that several patrons were in jeans and sneakers, which seems far worse than wearing designer sandals with a buttoned shirt and slacks.
How cool is this place!!! Classic jazz standards, no cover, beautiful room, cocktails and nightly jazz in a spectacular setting...very very special place
I love the ambiance, the Jazz music!!
