Cool live music and events venue in the heart of Honolulu. Right at the Ala Moana Mall. Tricky to find as Google maps leads you to an alley but the venue is up a level. There is street parking and valet, or depending on show time parking at the mall is possible. Got to see Midland and Hanson on back to back nights. Both great shows and the audience were very active to see the bands play.

A great space to see live music that doesn’t suck! Sound system is adequate and they don’t blow your head off with sound. Drinks are super reasonable. Security is tight and you must have i.d. to enter the venue.

Been here for 2 shows, its nice If youre into these kinds of small concerts. Capacity is 1000 people so its small to mid range. There is a small restaurant here and two bar areas for drinks. You may get patted down before entering, but they also have a wand. Easily accessible from the mall parking across the street.

Been here for a few shows. Nice place to come if its for small concerts. Easily accessible but parking can be a ways away if you cant find any close by. All in all, good intimate place to enjoy some local jams. Sometimes they have events like RVCA sales and are pretty neat also

Its a small and cozy kinda place with pretty decent sound! Probably be favorite in Hawaii. Was able to go see Phantogram who put on an amazing night!

Security is wackasaurus, and it’s not like I’m bringing anything in; they just act like every patron took a do-do in they birthday cake and they sour about it.. The show lineup is decent; don drink so can’t tel ya about the bartenders; there’s no parking; it’s a’ight

Great venue to get up close and enjoy live music.

Make sure to check your tab, bartenders lose cards!! Other than that great place

Great venue for intimate high-energy concerts

This place is a good old fashioned venue that is small so when decent gigs are on it gets PACKED. People usually dress up here and are looking good. Good Honolulu vibe. Bars are big and never a problem to get drinks. Like any place in Hawaii, people smoking the herb. AC is always on high. I like the Republik. Only 4 stars because their really good gigs are too seldom.

One of the few places to go; and that’s the *only* reason to go.The space and sound-system are mediocre and the stage is poorly managed. Security protocols are invasive and amateur; the security staff itself is far undertrained (and probably far underpaid) and is extremely anti-social to the point of creepy McCreeperness. (They will literally barge into people’s bathroom stalls to ‘make busts’.) There is absolutely nothing about this place, except the cheap and poorly placed self-advertisements, that suggests you are here to have a good time...I attend shows all over the world and I’ve seen several of the same artists abroad and here, at this venue; and not one show at this venue was worth the *effort* of attending and tolerating.The only reason I give this venue 2 stars, and not 1 star, is because it’s simply there and trying; a supposedly good time that doesn’t measure up :/

Hawaii doesnt have many places for concerts. This gives you a smaller venue to be close to the artists.I do wish there was more of a decline towards the stage, like stadium seating in movies, so everyone can see better.I rated it four star for Hawaii... you cant compare places mainland to here, outta night and day. I do like the couches and screens in the back for relaxing are nice tho... if youve never made it to the back its a great place to chill

Awesome, small venue, wide variety of artists, fun dance party after concerts.

I have seen a couple of concert here. And I really like it. Its not a big place. So if you are in the back row you can still see the band really well... unless you are small. Some places that Ive seen concerts at are really strict, and will almost make you fell like you are not welcome or have any free-will. But the staff and the security here make me feel safe and welcome. I just love this place. And I cant wait too have many more good times at, The republik.

I had the best time at the Republik. It was a perfect size. It wasnt too busy, yet there was a great crowd. I went for a concert and saw the Cat Empire. The stage was a great size and there were plenty of bartenders. I never had to wait more than 5 minutes for a drink. The pizza was also delicious! Prices were fair.

This was my first visit (and probably last) because I am moving soon, but I loved the fact that I was able to drive right up to the entrance and have my car valet parked for 15 dollars- A definite plus! Also, the size of the venue was just perfect to get a good view of the band. I never felt crowded and the people were friendly. The only down-side was security getting in the place. I have never gone through security that thorough. I had to empty out everything in my pockets, and then they go through your stuff. I felt like my privacy had been invaded. Other than that, I didnt buy any drinks, so I cant say anything about the bar or prices.

Great place to hang with friends! The atmosphere is always warm and inviting, plus the music is always on point. Bartenders are kind and drinks are always reasonable. Parking can be difficult to find. Overall one of the best places to hang with friends!

Love this place for concerts, smaller than places you would be at mainland but that offers an opportunity to be part of a smaller concert, more intimate. I love the different areas some with comfy seating. Multiple bars

This is an expensive venue, which would be fine if it was quality. It’s bad value for both electronic events (adventure club) and acoustic. Came to see Kacey Musgraves and the mic feedback was neverending. I hope it goes out of business, but it won’t. Because there are no venues to see music in Hawaii. So do what Hawaiians do; lower your expectations and get blazing high before you go to the concert.

Me and my brother went on a trip with our parents. We wanted to see a DJ, just to spend a nice evening, and in the middle of the show, the owner of the bar jumped on my brother for no reason, hit him to the blood and we were asked to leave with no explications. the staff were rude and arrogant. I still don’t understand what happened..

A great small venue but a lot of people can pack in. It might be difficult to see the stage if you’re short or seated but the sound is quite good.Everyone working at the venue was really kind and made an effort to create a welcoming environment.

Great bar/club/concert venue. I love going to raves here and the bar is absolutely fantastic. Never had an issue aside from parking but you can park across the street at Ala Moana most of the time.

Best venue in Oahu so far....... whos next.?

Good selection of acts perfect size for intimate concerts good drink selection

The Republik is a terrible venue. The security there is a bunch of trumped up bullies. I avoid it at all costs. Its just not worth it to spend a bunch of money to go to a show and then be hassled by the staff there.

Great place to watch Primus play and listen to Led Claypool slap that bass. And Im pretty sure their other venues are good too.

Pleasantly surprised, first visit to the venue. Food was excellent the place is spot less our bartender was great. Ill definitely be looking to go again for another concert

One of the best venues in town. I have came here to see alot of great artists.

Loved the energy and venue. Also ease of validated parking.

Live the intimate venue. Aaron Lewis was incredible. Never saw a bad show. Luke Combs soon!

The venue is fairly small so you can get up close and personal with the stage. The drinks are a little pricey but what do you expect? People come here for the music, not the drinks.

$20 minimum on cards. $4 for a water. No drink allowed in bathroom so cant even fill a water up in there. Staff are rude and abrasive. Concert was great tho.

Great concert venue on Oahu. Sometimes turns into a club after shows. Staff are friendly, parking is a bit of struggle. Dont park at Ala Moana past 10pm they do tow on the first level. Parking is best on Kapi’olani Blvd or Valet up the ramp.

Great music venue, Drinks are strong, the pizzas are a good size for the price. I enjoyed the Kailua Pork pizza and the spicy fries. Very tasty.

Great concert venue, amazing it has been here for over ten years now, keeps getting better with time.

Some pretty decent artisits play here, and the crowds usually pretty chill. Unfortunately, its hard not to let the rude security staff harsh the vibes. In addition to them shoving folks like myself around, Ive watched them escort a guy out of the venue for refilling his $4 water bottle. But hey, if youre a girl and look like jailbait, they wont give you any trouble at all!

$15 valet parking+tip, $7 beer in a plastic cup, sticky floors, complacent staff.... music, lighting, staging, live bands all awesome!

Great music. Small dance floor but a conce t area as well. 2

Always a great time, Ive been to countless concerts and each one feels alive!

This is the worst place for concerts in hawaii, the staff are rude and the venue is just too small. Security here take their jobs too seriously and act like their all that when in reality their just renta cops. 10 out of 10 wouldnt recommend going here for a concert, dont waste your time

Always a good time small venue but up close and good times.loooking forward to Lee Brice in Nov

Probably the best current music venue on the island. Kinda reminds me of World Cafe/Groove on Nimitz from back in the day. My bud Roxy bar tends there, but she works at all the hip joints. If youre reading this Roxy, I want a beer!!!

Excellent venue. Great sound, great bartenders

Great venue for music acts but the bar pricing is outrageous during events.

$4 for a bottle of water and rude staff. I watched security pick fights with patrons.On the good side, this has excellent location for foot traffic.2016 UPDATE: The junk staff was contracted security. Water still expensive. Good place for yuppie pau hana.

Last night was the worst concert I have ever attended. Not because the band sucked, but because the venue sucked. The acoustics in Republik are so bad that they feel the need to turn everything up to 12! I endured the opening act (a local band) so I could see my favorite band - Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue. I left after their third song because the jumbled blob of sound was so loud that I could not discern a trombone from a base guitar. Troys singing was unintelligible. Shame... I was so looking forward to seeing my favorite artists while here in Hawaii on Military Duty.

Great venue, amazing food, clean and well-staffed! The perfectly sized venue to see bands that dont have an arena-sized following in hawaii.

Great place to catch awesome live music.

Watched Incubus here. Awesome venue and great bar staff.

Was here during Borgeous Fright night and I saw one of the security guards drop someone to the ground by the bathrooms and dragged them out of the club. Also, someone got tackled after the show for taking a picture infront of the club. Not sure if it was a bad night or something but all I know is that when bouncers started assaulting people at M Nightclub, it didn’t end well for them. Hope the Republik can start treating their customers like humans, rather than a bunch of animals.

Venue with potential - but the sound is terrible (back up singer turned up louder than lead, tons of reverb) and no way for people in the back to see. Its 2018, not 1998, lets get some elevation!

One of the few great places for smaller bands that come to the island, great sound system and the crowd is usually pretty cool too.

Sweet place. Show up early.

Great little club and a good venue of local and mainland entertainment.

Get in early cus Im over 21. Pretty cool

Gets busy and a little overwhelming, but Ive never had a bad experience.

Great service at the 4 bars and good effort booking musicians!

Went to Michael Franti. Was awesome.

Rude bouncers. Tried to deny my right to retrieve my credit card when leaving. When walking in, my friends and I saw multiple prostitutes soliciting men for business, and the bouncers took no notice.10/10 would not recommend.

Wish it was a bigger venue.

Great venue, lots of talented musicians and shows, and the owners are great people.

Love this place. Girls getting daggered

Really awesome venue, you get too see and hear the bands up real close. Limited nonsense and awesome atmosphere.

Great place to attend a private function!

While this venue hosts some amazing concerts, the staff is very unfriendly, and you pay 7$ for a tiny beer. Go for the music, but I suggest pre-gaming elsewhere.

Its a standing room only venue. And for short people its not good.

Awesome baby !!!

Amazing!!!!

Ive been kicked out 3 times now.
