Loved it. Great place to hang out and get a drink.

Everyone is welcome at Hulas and is made to feel at home gay or straight! this is a great bar with an amazing view of the park and the beach. Come hang out. I always do. And theres a pool table. At night it gets really partyish with DJs

Service super friendly, good views

Best restaurant in Waikiki. Nice bar area too

Laid back atmosphere at the bar right in Waikiki not far from the Honolulu zoo. It is on the second floor of a hotel which can make it hard to find. Good drinks including tropical beach drinks. Opened air deck so you can overlook the beach while you enjoy your drink.

This was a very friendly and fun bar to go too. Amazing atmosphere with a great vibe. They have affordable drinks and play awesome music. The crowd really shows up around midnight and everyone seems to get along and talk to each other. We will definitely go back and recommend this spot to anyone!

Must stop here every time I come back to town. Highly recommend just for the simplicity of it. Bound to meet good people. Just about everyone is friendly. And the staff is awesome!

I love this bar the server her name is lee so nice and very friendly she treat everyone like a family we love her if u visit waikiki pls stop by in hulas bar very nice bar and good ambiance.

Sandy didnt like my feedback and erased it? To be clear, again: staff is terrible and lies to you. They charge you on your first fill of club soda - thats not ok. Food is awful, drinks too pricey.You get way better places than this!AVOID

Lee was absolutely an awesome person. Lee took time out to tell us about top spots in the area, and really went above and beyond to make my group feel welcome to the island. The crowd on a Tuesday night wasn’t the largest, and the music was more gloomy than uplifting. Otherwise come here and definitely ask for Lee.

I had so much fun here. Will be back when I return. The bartender is a great singer by the way. She sung live and I was blown away

The hospitality at this place was wonderful! I met the infamous David from the harsh negative reviews and he was totally cool and welcoming. Dont believe his bad reviews. Hes a cool guy working in an alcohol fueled public service venue. He introduced me to a couple of people and we had an excellent conversation while he poured drinks.

This place was a lot of fun. The local we were with said its the best drink deal around. All the bartenders were really nice -our server was great and had The. Best. Wig. We got a pitcher of mai tai and then we were on our way -- it was pretty good. The decor was nice. I liked that it was open air and that there was a view of the beach. The general atmosphere is great.

LOVE IT!!Truly is a fun and friendly place cocktails,food,live performers,dragshows,and dancers.During the day meet cool locals and At night it becomes a Bar/Club the music can be a bit on the low side to respect noise violations.The pitcher specials are a good option as well as the double shots for like a Dollar or two more.

Friendly, welcoming lgbt+ bar that is roomy and unpretentious. A great spot for after beach drinks and evening dancing. The music variety was great, we went back several times during our recent trip to Oahu.

Friendly place & atmosphere! Great live music! Great place to sing!

Aloha!DREWHe was very kind to me who couldnt speak English. Thank you very much!Mahalo!

Great place to hang, revisit on each visit. Only complaint their double cocktail is only a 4 count which generally is a great single. Dont mind the extra $ but a double is a double.To note David is a great ambassador for the bar.

This place was poppin. It made my sis and I night out in Hawaii very enjoyable. The had a great dj as well.

Cute bar. Good prices. Semi nice views. Food looked and smelled good.

There was a fun vibe here but our food was awful! Drinks were not bad and the prices were good. I would not go back.

A nice atmosphere and pleasant staff. Drinks are reasonably priced and the music was all fun gay hits. The crowd was a little older but people were friendly for the most part. The only problem was that it was a little dead but I’d imagine that was just because I came on a Monday.

Nice place and good activities and music. Bar staff is friendly but not as attentive as they should be - spend more time chatting and goofing off than anything.Still the best of the bars in Oahu but dont expect a strong gay culture here.

Not mahalo when we went to join our group who was already inside.Our group entered and the bouncer immediately didnt let us in even though it was a minimal group of chill friends. Overly strict entrance was such a buzzkill for no reason.Definitely would NEVER come back for such blatant discrimination.Never.

Awesome and friendly gay bar. Great staff and great value drinks.

Fun place. Great music. Large dance floor.

LGBTQ crowd is mixed with a little bit of tourist and local of every preference having a good time enjoying drinks and music under the majestic Diamond Head landmark in east Waikiki. Sometimes you can expect a cover charge usually for special occasions.

A great place to relax and have a drink. Staff was reallh nice and sweet

Me and the wife like to walk over from time to time. Great staff. Good drinks

What an awesome fun place to be. Inexpensive drinks and great music.

Great atmosphere and good drinks.

I had an amazing time Thursday night with my friends and boyfriend. I came back again tonight with more friends and as I was paying for me and my boyfriend, a security guy I’m assuming walked in the door and told my boyfriend he was unable to come in because he looked like he had too much to drink. My boyfriend told him that he had a couple beers but, was still denied to come in. My boyfriend wasn’t stumbling in or anything. He literally was holding the door open for other people as we were waiting to pay to come on. We had a lot of fun literally two days ago and tonight’s experience had us dumbfounded. They definitely lost business from us tonight and the future if we visit Oahu again.

Went for a few drinks with friends but the bartender David was extremely rude. Ended up leaving after one because of his behaviour. Will not be going back. Is a shame as the other staff were lovely and the musicians playing were amazing.

Delish brunch and drinks! Gorgeous views

Just a great place to get a double pour, and a friendly smile. Thanks Joey. Go with friends, and make new.

Good place!! Wife and I️ had fun here. Not knowing it was a LGBTQ friendly (I️ haven’t found a place that wasn’t here in Hawai‘i!) obviously always get the occasional stares. BUT! Great atmosphere, we came on a Monday right before happy hour ended and it was open mike night.. for karaoke kind of thing? Food was ok.. more like microwaves nachos but drinks was good. Koa was our bartender and I️ didn’t like my mojito. He happily took it and made me a Bloody Mary. You have to walk inside a hotel and take the stairs up to the actual bar. Just follow the signs!!

Amazing place and the vibe is always wonderful. The staff have a wonderful attitude as well. If you want a little to eat then go early. Food ends at 9pm. The nachos are out of this world. Best in all of waikiki.

Dropped in after a long walk & had some Pina Coladas but they were the best I have ever had.

Love Hulas . We always come to Hulas when in town.for over 5+ years Never a bad time and always fun including the booze cruise . will be back in a few weeks and looking forward to seeing the friendly and sexy bar backs.

Place is great to relax, thats is carefree and also great to grab a drink. Nightlife wise the DJ plays weird music sometimes hints the not 5 star. Drinks are on point. Has a wide variety of drinks and people that come to the establishment. Overall great quality drinks. Has a view overlooking the street on the second floor.

GREAT service, true happy hour prices, and a very nice view!

Unbelievably beautiful view. Friendly staff, Lee is amazing. Totally recommend visiting

Such a fun spot near the ocean. Always a good looking staff and good food.

I danced the night away. The drinks are amazing

Enjoyed this place a couple of times but food will leave you wanting like most bar places. Drinks were good and they pour heavy. Liked it but wouldn’t say we loved it.

Always a fun place to go when visiting Oahu.

Sitting at the beach bar enjoying great food. Made several visits here during our visit to Maui.

Great ambiance, the bar is in a hotel so its super safe.

Sooo I was enjoying my Friday night first Friday I’ve had off in 6 months and I’m finishing up waiting for friends and the bartender says are you ordering and I said no I’m good and he’s asks the person beside me for there order at the same time as he pushes me across from the bar and I’m like don’t put your hands on me and he’s like I’m doing my job and I repeatedly said but you don’t put your hands on me! He shook the customers hand to try and ignore me and I said u don’t put your hands on me!!!! I’m absolutely done with hulas completely!!! I had 3 drinks leaving to go get food and my first Friday off in 6 months and I go to enjoy myself and you put your hands on me! Not me you are one of the most rudest individuals I’ve ever met on my life!

David is so rude!! Came for a couple of drinks with friends but David was rude and condescending. When we enquired about the price of drinks he said ‘you order a drink and I will tell you the price!’. What kind of place does that. He was patronising throughout. It’s a shame cos the place is pretty good and the singers were awesome.

My BFF and I had been coming to Hulas for over 2 years, regularly. We deployed for 8 months. We came back tonight. The crown aged 20+ years, staff changed, Sy actually acknowledged me, and a certain bartender Brandon (he goes by another name) legit looked at me in the eyes and looked through me. I dont need to be cherished, I dont need to be paraded, but good lord, when I come into the bat I was go too, I dont expect a waitress asking if I know what I want.Yall are going downhill, I want you to turn this around.....I left tonights for scarlet.

Nice service, great location, tasty drinks.

Manager cuts off without reason... Bar staff didnt agree or understand why (neither did customers)Tried to send inquiry on website but errors out..Had two drinks, was not exhibiting any signs of intoxication and when I went to order another drink the manager ran out and informed me he would not allow bar staff to serve me. Multiple bartenders and regular patrons were confused at the situation, didnt know why this happened.If I did something inappropriate I would love to know.

Great drinks at prices!

Atmosphere is nice, staff is friendly, drinks are not that impressive.

You cant ask for a better bar on the beach. Great views. Strong drinks. Interesting entertainment. The staff is nice and the place is well maintained. Great for a quick drink or hunker down for the night and enjoy the festivities.

Long-time establishment in the Honolulu gay scene. Small video bar with open bay windows overlooking a quiet park on the backside (pun obviously intended) of the Honolulu Zoo and a bit of Waikiki beach. Perfect place for sunset drinks with friends. Friendly (hot!-but-probably-straight) bartenders.

A lot of unhappiness with my groups experience. We paid 60 to get in, as it was a NYE event. Upon getting in, got a tab and got our drinks, went around to the dance floor.Drinks were mediocre, but at this point we were too busy with the overcrowded and rowdy bunch of customers.Went for second rounds, bar guys seem to have pretty good service, but he decided to serve the queue cutter which was the literal last straw.Decided this isnt our zone, 45 minutes of queue, we got the hell out.

Great atmosphere and friendly outgoing service!

Barman David ruined what would have otherwise been a great night. He was rude, demanding and patronizing.

Great hangout with good music and a dance floor.

Great to have at least 1 lgbt bar on the strip thats not ashamed

I went with my cousins.. my cousin who is a girl was extremely comfortable... eli the bartender was amazing.. one of my cousin was drunk and lit a cigarette.. we were very happy they didnt throw him out but cut his drinks... very professional and our night was complete

I would like to alert the owners of this establishment, the official CHELSEA is extremely rude to meet customers. She was stupid to me. The other staff members are very nice, especially DAVID and JOE.

Always a good time. Nice view. Happy hour prices 10-6

One of my favorite bars! Friendly staff and great drinks! Super fun!

Great location. Good and friendly service.

Friendly staff, nice view

This Place has discriminated against locals.Since they have moved. Their attitude really stinks. When you go there ask yourself...Where are all the local boys? Honey we have left the party and moved to better pasture grounds. Hulas has lost us locals and well never return..

Great drinks, excellent customer service

Fun when it gets a little busier

Love the music even though its a guy bar. Nice atmosphere

Chill place, reasonable priced drinks... could have been a bit stronger for a double shot rum & Coke But friendly and entertaining!

Awesome place to go have fun, service is slow but the divas performance is top notch!

Not a local friendly place. Geared towards tourist with overpriced drinks and non-friendly staff. Not recommended. Used to have better management and staff. Has gone down a lot. There are better options on island with true Aloha spirit. Recommend passing Hulas on your visit.

Hulas has good drinks and a friendly staff. The place during the day is just a decent place to eat but by night is a pretty hopping gay bar/club.

A friendly, low key, gay-bar-hood right across the street from the beach!

Staff here are awesome. They really care about everyone having a good time, they remember faces and names, and they treat everyone with respect. Great drink specials, fun video screens all around, variety of music, and an excellent mix of locals and visitors. Leave the pretense behind - This is the spot to hang out in Waikiki!

A fun place in Waikiki to get a drink with ample parking at the zoo.

This place is awesome. A world famous gay tiki bar that overlooks Waikiki beach and Diamond Head ! Plus, their daytime drag revue, Mimosas & Marys, on the last Sunday of each month, is AMAZIIIING

Cutesy tourist bar, good drink specials and right next to the beach, great for a cocktail after a day in the sun

So much fun! David was fantastic! Excellent margaritas!!

I had breakfast there only but it was real good and large enough to split

Not usually my type of place but this was my favorite bar on Ohau. The view, staff, and food/drinks are winners. Jon our server was awesome, he really went the extra mile for us and made us feel welcomed big shout out to Jon and the rest of the team at hula bar and lei stand!

We came for the drag show and had a great time, everyone was friendly and the show was great! The drinks are crazy cheap, which is never a bad thing. Definitely check it out while bar hopping, a good place to start the night and get a good buzz on without spending too much $$

Bartenders was awesome. Great view

Had fun at open mic night, and the Pina colada is amazing! The rest is pretty overpriced though and the ambience is kinda tacky without good views.

Love Hula’s. Super chill, great drinks and live entertainment!

Came for the open mic on mondays! Was fun and was able to perform. GJ was great host and he even performed the looping beat and/or live guitar instrumental to back up the performer. It is located in a nice spot in waikiki

Been coming here since 2002. Since then, I applied - became a bartender - became a manager - moved to NYC - moved back for this place. Couldnt love Hulas more, and its place in our community, our Hawaii, and the World. Much Mahalo for 45 years of support

Come for the tasty cocktails and unbeatable views, stay for the cuties!

Right off the beach with amazing views. Great shows on weekend

Always a fun and fabulous time with strong cocktails, and awesome music and music videos

They had good music going. Some people were on the dance floor but left early Im sure it was because it was a Tuesday and they had to work. The people who frequent the club are really really friendly and so is the staff

Great Pau hana bar with breathtaking views of Diamond Head and the beach. Locals and visitors alike can find great drinks from Mai Tais to bloody Marys to lava flows. A must for anyone looking for fun after the sun.

So fun with back view.

Favorite go-to stop for me in Honolulu!! Great staff!! Reasonably priced drinks!! Fun atmosphere!! And an awesome view!!

Well just on the back end of three weeks in glorious hawaii of which Hulas bar is a big part of the experience every year.Brian and the bar team are amazing. Lee of course is gorgeous and very much a part of what makes the bar so special to us.Its a unique gay bar which of course is changing with the times but oh so special to hawaii. The live music from 6 adds perfectly to that experience. May Hulas live in for many years to come we love the place. Bring on 2018 !

Fun bars, great service, an entire pitcher of Mai tai for $13!

Drinks get me tipsy! Always have a good tine here with friends. Drinks arent over priced and are strong enough for their cost. I usually get the mai tai bucket. It gets me there. 2 of those and im good! I like the open air thing theyve got also. Food is not good in my opinion.Thats why 4 stars. Otherwise Id give 5.
