  • 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.

  • Polynesian music, dance, and legend.

  • 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.

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

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

  • Illusionist John Hirokawa weaves elements of Polynesian culture and “prestidigitational” puzzlement. (An understudy performs on Sun & Mon nights.)

  • Society of Seven

    Long-running variety show relying on show tunes, ’60s hits, and costumed pratfalls.

  • Honolulu’s dressy Cosmo-drinking crowd gathers here to flirt and dance to a backbeat of DJ music in various genres.

  • Honolulu’s longest-running hardcore rock haven.
