Anna Bannana’s

Aging hippies and blues hounds adore this time-warped tavern, with its darts games, grizzled regulars, and upstairs weekend gigs.
Chai’s Island Bistro

Some of Hawaii’s favorite entertainers including the Brothers Cazimero and Jerry Santos present the best contemporary Hawaiian music in a varied nightly schedule of performances.
Creation, A Polynesian Journey

Polynesian music, dance, and legend.
Don Ho Show

You HAVE to see this show. It’s an amazing period piece, with World War II vets in attitudes of worship, Ho burbling along in his whiskey-deep voice, and young performers brought up for a starry-eyed first chance.
Duke’s Waikīkī

Named after surf legend Duke Kahanamoku and outfitted with his memorabilia, this lively bar frequented by a mixed-age crowd offers food and live music.
Gordon Biersch

The pier-side bar becomes a club on weekends – one of the few where you can boogie out-doors. There’s live music sometimes, with the fare tending to contemporary rock.
Hard Rock Café

Check out the surfing memorabilia and rock mementoes that cover the walls. There’s a live DJ and dancing every Friday night.
Indigo

Beautifully renovated Chinatown spot with an award-winning Eurasian restaurant, crowded terrace bar, and the Opium Den – a hip champagne bar.
Kapono’s

Singer-guitarist Henry Kapono has made a great success of this pier-front bar, known for young-spinning island-style entertainment and partying into the night.
Lewers Lounge

This lovely cocktail lounge is home to jazz of the kind you can both sing and dance to. No cover; pricey drinks.
