Food was good. Drinks were a bit odd. They had a ton of happy hour options for great prices, but every vodka drink was super sweet. I love beer but figuring out what beer was available was a lot of work. Seemed like they had 100 beers available but I ended up getting a Guinness because it was easier.
When this bar first opened, it mustve had the most expansive beer selection in the state. I still think it boasts a pretty large selection of beers to try. Whats more, they have a nice selection of pizzas to snack on while imbibing the various bottles of beer available.The location of the bar is convenient for downtown office workers to grab an after work drink. But, its a great hangout for those coming into Chinatown as well. The area has improved a bit in the last decade due to the recent gentrification thats been taking place.
Pretty chill place to go have a drink. I usually just skip the dance floor/club area and head straight for the outdoor lounge. The atmosphere is generally just people chillin in the couches. At peak times it’s packed and seats are hard to come by. However if you get there when it’s not so busy you’ll enjoy it. I’m not much into the “club” scene. My version of a good time is just having maybe one or two drinks and people watching.
Open now with plenty of space for distancing, their standard huge beer list, and solid food made in-house. Definitely going back soon
Great happy hour prices. Happy hour goes till 9pm. Excellent beer selection! Food was excellent. There is an outside area and a private room for a larger crowd
Great place to enjoy your drinks with friends, staff is super friendly, drinks are decently priced, but more importantly the place is chill
Mininalsitic high end dive bar the kind of place youd go if your avoiding a bounty hunter
Gretchen is an absolutely fantastic bartender. She can read the mood of her clients and creates a wonderful atmosphere! She also got us really, REALLY, really drunk very efficiently. Autocorrect has saved this review so many times.
Very nice atmosphere. Staff is very accommodating. The vegetarian pizza and martinis were awesome!
Great atmosphere, very good drinks, and solid staff!!!
Fun Chinatown bar in downtown Honolulu. big selection of craft beers and yummy cocktails. super chill for late night drinks and pau hana. perfect bar food bites like chicken nuggets (!) and flat bread pizzas.
This place has great food and affordable drinks if you go off there specials were fast with the food and had a pretty cool back room that was outside it was a little wet though.
I come for the pizzas and my friends come for the drinks. They have happy hour on Monday to Friday from 5pm - 6pm. The food specials are 25% off on any 2 regular pizzas and 25% off for edamame or Euro fries. I recommend the Sweet Bangkok pizza. Its a thin crust cheese pizza topped with lup cheong (Chinese sausage), cilantro, and drizzled with sweet chili sauce. All their pizzas are thin crust and are great for sharing.If you work in downtown Honolulu, this is a good spot to come and hang out after work. The inside is dark and the couches dont look pretty but the pizza is good. I come when happy hour starts and I leave by 6:30pm so its not crowded.
First time here and very surprised how spacious it was, mind you it was around 8pm on a Friday night. They have open layout with bar seating and high tables to hang around, no seats in the front area. Walk to the back to find a private room and tucked all the way in the back is another bar in an outdoor patio setting. Seating was comfy with bamboo trees and the open night sky. BF and I had the nachos and edamame which was more than enough for two. Drinks were awesome, not sure on prices or happy hour but all in all wouldnt mind going there again. Heard the pizzas are good but after the pupus couldnt order anything more. Pictured is the Kalua Nachos
Nice bar, good happy hour. Diverse clientele
Every 2 Saturday of the month is reggae night. Music was Lit. security.. it top notch.. wait staff less than personable. but they were slammed. atmosphere two thumps up.
Great selection of happy hour beers that I thoroughly enjoyed!
Bar 35 is a great bar to meet people and start your night. There are two sections, with rarely a line to get in. The front section is a large bar with a dancefloor and main DJ where mostly dance hip-hop and/or Top 40 is being played, depending on who the DJ is. The back section is an open area where you can freely smoke and has a bar. The music is usually 90s and Top 40 hip hop. It also has seating areas ranging from sofa couches to small seats and benches. Finally, within the bar, there is a place to enjoy small eats, such as appetizer like items and pizza. Overall, great bar to start off your night in Waikiki.
Me and the hubs went to for a night out. And we will definitely be coming back!! The waitress there was very helpful and telling us about the different theme nights. And Thursday live band soul night sounds good!!! We will be attending
Seriously grateful for their outdoor patio lounge. Their bar is great, lineup of music, events, and food & drink specials. One of those rare places thats good on both slow and busy nights. Their food is bomb too! They had me at okonomiyaki fries
R and B and Rap are great to dance to... just not every single song, all night...
Still a good hangout. Lost some luster...especially ladies room and outdoor lounge.Potential remains - bartenders are tops.
While there was no line to get in, which was good, once the place got crowded the 2 small ceiling-mounted a/c units couldnt handle the heat in the front room. The decor - concrete walls, ceiling and floor with one side having a long bar. A few rectangular tables and metal chairs, which kept disappearing the closer to midnight it got, and your done. Throw in a DJ and a projected scene on the back wall and youll understand why there was a line next door at Next Door.
Great bar, friendly service
Overall, one of my favorite bars in Waikiki so far. They have a great DJ. The music is always popping and danceable. Its a decent sized dance area. If youre not looking for dancing, the patio area out back is perfect for sipping on a drink. The servers are great about checking in on you.
Excellent fusion flat bread/pizza, delicious drinks free water, and good music! need I say more?
Ive been here a number of times, especially during college and it holds to be a pretty decent bar with both a club feeling in the front and more of an outdoor lounge in the back. Bartenders appear to be quick and personable (at least in the back as I rarely frequent the club area in the front) and the people there appear to be your classic college-aged students looking for a good time. The bouncer in the front seemed to handle very well a belligerent beer-goer on the outside who demanded to be let in. The only criticism may be that the bar may not be able to accommodate via seating and space when it gets too crowded but if youre into that D to A action, depending on the night, this may be your spot.Would definitely recommend and return.
Really enjoyed this bar, excellent prices on fantastic beers. Great tap selection and fresh chicerones!! Who does that!!! Fantastic place will be back.
This could be a super cool place if everyone didnt go to it. Place is always jammed packed and feels a little hostile but thats the people in it not the bar itself.Tips are a must here. Ive never seen wait staff and bartenders work so hard at a club/bar before.Be warned youre probably going to get touched, grabbed, and rubbed up on even if you dont want to. If something happens that you dont like, tell the bouncers yall. That is something this bar is really good about. There are A TON of bouncers that will have no problem grabbing someone and throwing them out if theyre acting a fool.Great back area outdoors with a few couches to chill and relax on.
Great place to grab and drink. The pizza is soo good
Every 2nd Saturday the best
13 different homemade dipping sauces for your hot seasoned fries...enough said! The Kimchee Mayo frightens me but you cannot go wrong with Fresh Garlic Aioli or Miso Mayo.Live bands play every Thursday and theres an all day/night happy hour on Monday with decent happy hour times for the rest of the week (T-F: 4-9 pm & Sat: 6-10pm). DJs on the weekends.Cool hip vibe inside. I mean, who doesnt luv life-sized hipster cats gracing their walls.
This bar has become one of my favorite places to hang out with friends and co-workers. The staff is always friendly and the selection of drinks is excellent. Theres a back patio where you can smoke cigars while enjoying your drinks and a cozy room on the inside lets you have more privacy for parties. The seats and table in this room create a nice space for playing board games and Jenga which are provided. Being in Chinatown, parking is always a challenge. The municipal parking structures close by are usually your best bet. The food is pretty decent but dont expect gourmet dishes. Other restaurants close by offer much better dining options. Fridays and Saturdays seem to be the most popular times if you like crowds. Otherwise, come during other times to enjoy a more quiet atmosphere.
Its a very nice looking bar. Music was very hit or miss for me personally. The reason I put 2 stars is because there is alot of macho man flexing. You can be asked what your problem is and if you want to fight by complete strangers that you may have crossed gazes with. It just feels kind of hostile.
Be careful traversing this establishment by yourself. Upon returning from the restroom, I was escorted out for no reason, even after requesting an explanation. The bouncer outside was kind enough to reach my friends on the inside, but if they hadnt been immediately available he told me he wouldnt have been available to help me. Do not go here of youre not prepared to pay far too much for a cover that doesnt deserve to exist.
The staff is awesome! The food is pretty underwhelming except for their fries are awesome. Regular and sweet potato fries are great. You dont go here for the food... I hope. Wednesdays has a trivia game night. The host at this one is a million times better than at other trivia nights other places.
Great music but overpriced drinks which lowers the tips on the bartenders, so they are not helpful.
Place was packed great DJ, not too diverse but very nice crowd
Nice and big. Got an outdoor patio.
Me and my friend were trying to enjoy our night out when all of a sudden a fight broke out between one of the bar’s security guards and a customer in the patio area. The other security guards did nothing to control the situation until other customers had to jump in to stop the fight. Me and my friend were almost trampled by the panicking crowd trying to escape the chaos. I don’t know if I can ever return.
I travelled to may countries and around the U.S. and Bar 35 has the best pizza and had the pleasure of experiencing.My friend and I ordered 3 different pizzas including. Gyro, Tuscan and Chinese sausage which were so delicious with the right amount of gourmet sauce, cheese and topping and a crispy crust to die for.Also ordered a Gyro sandwich with crisp fries that included a variety of dipping sauces that were all zesty and tasty which we dipped our fries, sandwich and pizzas with. Yummy!Atmosphere was very hip and relaxing at the same time with a good mixed crowd.Going back next week to try everything else on the menu!
The chicharrones are awesome. Check out Bar 35 is it a great spot for a drink or two.
Nothing great, but was nice
This place has apparently come a long way since the days where 40s were served to patrons looking to scrap. They have live music and are great for first fridays. The happy hour is decent, but nothing Id get too excited about. The bar is nice and they have a cool outdoor area in the back
Fantastic establishment. They play good music, the outside dining area is a delight and the drinks were great
If I could give them 0 stars, I would. I came all the way from Florida and they treated me super bad. I went there to party at night and the security guard was extremely RUDE. I had to pay cover and everything and they told me that I had to do a huge line again just because they wanted me to. The guy was sarcastic at all times, I would never go back to that place again!! Worst “night club” in Hawaii.
Great French Fries!
One of my favorite bars. The outside area is a great place to relax and socialize.
Super good happy hour- $3.75 Three Olive vodka drinks!
Checked out this club last night for Hallowbaloo 2018. I went to 6 different clubs last night and this place wad by far the best. Great DJ and the food was good.
Overall great place for drinks during the week and trivia on Wednesday’s are a blast. Weekends are definitely a college experience, young and loud, it’s like most college bars I’ve been to Friday and Saturday night. The interior could use a bit of a spruce up but otherwise solid place
Absolutely one of the best night I ever had in Oahu.
I perform here occasionally. However, even as a patron, I appreciate the collection of the available drinks as well as the staff.
Large happy hour selection. Intimate patio in the back. Gretchen is personable and professional.
Went early for some pre dinner drinks, then wandered down the street for supper. Planned on checking out another bar after dinner, but when walking by the strip of bars, Bar 35 was playing the best music, and had the longest line to get in (rightfully so). Line moved fast and we had a great time dancing and drinking late into the night! Will be back!
Very extensive domestic, craft, and import beer selection on tap and by the bottle! Proper glassware. Great selection of hard liquors, Scotches, and Bourbons! Long bar, hightop seating, private party room, live music, and a spacious back lanai which plays occasional host to fine cigar events! Street parking on Smith Street available first come first serve, municipal parking, and CallToPark app parking lot in rear off of Smith Street.
Happy hour is still a great deal. However, cocktail and beer prices seem to be a bit inconsistent from what is listed in the menu. Be sure to review your bill before cashing out.
Love Bar 35! Great customer service and comfortable surroundings.
Friendly staff and great food alsoFun atmosphere.
Great local bar that becomes lively at night. Tons of beers to choose from and there is an outdoor lounge in the back. Pretty solid starting out ending point for a night out.
Best Monday happy hour around.
Great place to hang out whether its inside where they had dj and decent music or outside where you can also order food. Reasonably easy to get a drink. Bathrooms are clean.
Nice place.
My go-to bar/club for a night on the town. Im not a huge fan of Waikiki, so I like to hang with my friends in Chinatown and we always start here, unless its at Downbeat for food (which is GREAT btw). Bar 35 is awesome, a nice open patio on the back (sucks if its raining though. Wet fabric couches are no fun) and a good dance floor. Always playing some movie on the projector and the service is pretty fast most of the time.
Best happy hour on the island
Nice music, videos and
Clean bar. If youre a beer person, they have lots. I love sitting out on the patio and having a glass of wine.
Great atmosphere, awesome happy hour specials and the pupus are worth it! Try the brussel sprouts!
Fun place. Love outside spot in the back.
Go to spot on Fridays to turn up but a nice relaxed vibe on Saturdays when you want to chill and grab a drink
Where else can you go on a Wednesday to get a flight of beers for $7? The serving size is also great for the price!
If you pay by credit card, careful, they pad the tip.
Some of the best beer and bartenders on island. Security is friendly and fair.
Great beer selection. Highly recommended the bar!
I dont remember anything about this place, so it must be good
By far one of the best bars I have ever been to. Great selection of beer and sprits, local music, vip area, and an outdoor bar. This place has it all. Even the bar staff is beautiful, thats coming from a gay man!
Awesome happy hour prices on food and drinks, one of the largest beer selections on the island
Great place, great drinks. The atmosphere and friendly service is dope.
Not a bad place to stop in for a drink if youre in the downtown area. Can get a bit crowded and seating might be an issue depending on the size of your group.Drink prices are on par with what youd expect. Id also check out a few of the other watering holes right around the corner if your looking for a place to hang with friends while having a few drinks.
Venue with indoor and outdoor space and good beer selection.
Bar 35 has a good selection of beers to enjoy.
Nice patio out back younger crowd had lots of fun
Miss China Town... That is all. Great service and live music.
We enjoyed both pizzas we tried, and the deep-fried brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze. Not to mention the beer!
Best beer selection in town! Amazing gourmet pizzas. Killer happy hour. Need I say more?
Always a safe bet to come here. Great crowd and good drink selection.
Fun bar life, crowd is well mixed, drinks are spot on.
Great on slower days...when busy not enough bartenders
Great place. Incredible beer selection.
They said they were internationally known. LoL Nice try!
Disgusting Place with disgusting Music. Nothing to celebrate there, only high prices. I would avoid this Place by any costs!
Neat location, awesome pizza and bread pudding.
I usually have fun here, decent music well priced drinks and good food, however I had one problem where the bartender incorrectly made my drink and I had to ask 3 different people until I got them remade.
Great outdoor seating! Dance floor inside
