The bar was empty when I decided to venture in here. There were a few men at a table and a wonderful bartender. I was only here for two drinks on a tues mid afternoon so I wasn't looking for a rager. Drink was strong, chips were free and a good nibble. The bar is a dive bar and it's perfectly dark inside. I will come back at night next time I'm in kaimuki. read more

Aloha Lounge - Free chips - Lounges Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Love the dive but nothings consistent. Regularly show up during opens hours to dark lights and a locked door. Told you can't karaoke unless it's after 8pm but show up at 2pm and uncles are wailing piano man. Just whatever they feel like doing really. Good luck ah read more

Aloha Lounge - Happy times at a birthday party - Lounges Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Where do all the locals go? Well, try Aloha Lounge located in the heart of Kaimuki Town. A small hole in the wall dive bar is what this place is. But how the heck could a hole in the wall dive bar rate 5 stars? Well, let me try to explain: 1) The owner Bernadette (I think that is her name) is customer oriented and she makes sure all of her patrons are comfortable and serviced. 2) The price is right! No frills bar with spirits, wine and beer all at the decent price of REASONABLE! 3) The establishment is clean. I look at the establishment, starting with the restrooms followed by the cooking area then the bar and of course, the floors. And this place its the 5 mark on all counts 4) Parking plentiful (unless of course, you have a party for 50 then you might have a problem) 5) Entertainment available with big screen TV's, dart boards, karaoke machine and CD juke box I had a private party there and it felt so great; as it was my own place. Staff was extremely courteous and helpful throughout my 3 hour event. Want to know more? I suggest you stop in! You won't regret your visit! read more

My lost aunt ran a small coffee shop in Japan. This restaurant is a very calming place where I can feel Aloha, as it reminds me of it. Actually, the shop is very lively with loco every night. Recently, the number of loco bars has decreased, but I would like to protect the precious loco bars where Ohana gathers. read more

Aloha Lounge - a sign for a sports bar - Lounges Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The perfect little neighborhood bar. I was embraced with such aloha when I entered by fellow patrons. Drinks are most reasonably priced. While there wasn't a menu to order from the bartender made and provided pupus, on my visit cheese quesadillas were provided and they were excellent. Description of the Aloha Lounge being in the backside of the building with little visible signage from the street is spot on. Well worth seeking out. read more

It's always like party time at the place. Good karaoke selection. The bartenders and waitresses are great!

Hole in the wall bar that I never knew existed! We were looking for somewhere to go for some good food and darts and found this gem! The drink prices are reasonable and the food was delicious! The shrimp and asparagus was so yummy!! No frills bar filled with friendly locals and staff. Jackie is so sweet and caring we definitely will be back! read more

Aloha Lounge, located on the back side of Town Restaurant in Kaimuki. Its your typical neighborhood "local" bar with pool tables, darts, karaoke and alcohol. I had some crazy nights here as my friends are "regulars" here since they live so close. Aunty is great and she is always willing to cook up some pupu's for you to eat. It's funny how you can end up here after dinner and still eat more. The beer is cheap, Karaoke is $1 but its the company that you surround yourself with that makes it fun. read more

LOL It's more of a old school place and has its aunty and uncle regulars, but its good for groups. There's parking, full bar, darts, karaoke, pool, bathrooms, and air conditioning. read more

This place was terrible. Owner was drunk and rude. She charged us $2 for water and made us buy it even after we said we didn't want water. We waited an hour to sing our songs. They treated us very poorly it was extremely offensive. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Went there for the 1st time last night. My boyfriend and I have been wanting to check this place out for a while--we've heard quite a few different things about this place and know several people who frequent here. (And we live nearby.) This place isn't the easiest place to find. It's behind Town, next to a hair salon on 9th and Waialae. Parking is scanty, but we didn't need to drive. ...So "yay" for that. Aloha Lounge is bigger than I thought. It fits 2 pool tables, a pretty decent-sized bar, a kitchen, and a good amount of tables and chairs. The owner is Olivia Mama. And for a Mama, she is so down-to-Earth and nice! I mean, she must be because she has a lot of regular house-customers. We were so fortunate to sample the cooked fish last night. It was uber tasty and *moist* (that's a nasty word, sorry). I don't remember what kind of fish she said it was, but it was GOOD. Now that I've actually gotten a chance to sample this place, I'm hooked. Stay tuned for my update :) read more

Finding a good hang out on a Friday night (besides the mall and Starbucks) lead me to this gem of a place that's located in Kaimuki town. Right along 9th Avenue and Waialae Avenues, this place is located in the back of Town restaurant. This place has a good vibe and I am glad I could stop by. If I got hammered, I could just walk back home to get sober (I didn't). It's definitely a whole in the wall business, if you are not looking for it, especially when its nestled in Kaimuki town, where most of Kaimuki is basically a residential subdivision. I stepped into this place, but it had that vibe that makes me want to stay and just hang out. Love the casual atmosphere, without having to be a full on bar scene. This is probably the half way point I was desiring between restaurant / bar to full on bar - at least that's how I viewed it. The owner is nice and inviting. This place has good food and the prices are reasonable! I felt comfortable in this place, and that's what made it fun. I am glad I got to be here and I am grateful that they are in Kaimuki town and I live nearby, so the parking situation can be a non-issue. For you who drive, the most you can do is just find parking along the side streets. Good luck with that though. Its kind of a challenge, but it will be well worth it.I enjoyed the free pupus, so that awesome. They open to 2am, so I could hang out there more if I wasn't traveling so much. But it is what it is. I'll be back! The pricing was comparable to where I have been, and they do go the extra mile for you when you want a specific drink. They have a full bar and have most imports. The pool table scene can be outrageous, but it's all in good fun. I just like to people watch sometime, without really thinking about problems at work and errands I need to do in the coming days. It's just nice to get away for a while and fill your brain with liquid dreams. B+ read more

After many minutes of begging, I was finally dragged out of the comfort of my blanket and thrown into the car for a night out with the bf and friends. Now usually I'm quite skeptical at going to new places (and I'm an elite?!!!! Shame!! but let me explain!) if I don't read the reviews on yelp before I arrive or if I hear that places can get rowdy. But I'm so glad I arrived here.. LIke Tessa t. siad, I don't want to write a review for this place either because I don't want it to get too overpopulated haha!! but yes, yelp is sharing. Our friends tend to visit this place often and always have great things to say. When we entered, it's a little karaoke bar with two pool tables and some tables and booths. Again, agreeing with Tessa T., this place can be difficult to find.. Luckily we had four eyes to help find the place.. We came with party of about 10 and Aunty was so nice!!!!!! The atmosphere is so welcoming. We were there along with a couple of older people singing and they were great! The songs are a dollar each but it's worth it because the vibe is great. The drinks are about 5-6 dollars on depending what you want.. they don't have a whole wide selection but who cares!! Again, Aunty is so sweet and even brought out some food for free!!! I was the d-squared so I ordered a soda and she was so kind as to refill mines after I was all done.. she came around making sure we were all ok and had everything we wanted. Great place and great atmosphere. I can't wait to come back! read more

It's dungy. It's loud. It's hard to find. It's a dive bar for regulars. The owner is very, very awesome. She's always on the ball when it comes to getting you liquored up when you need your next round. Warning: If you're an irritating drunk and you're going to Aloha Lounge for the first time, I'd advise you to just leave before it gets ugly. read more

Gooood grinds...fo-real...a must try dive bar! Never mind what people say try this place! its a straight up dive bar, hole in the wall but a great find! ok so they don't have all the beer and liquor you would want and its not a fully stocked bar but they know how to treat customers! We were given free pupus and that was a plus! They even went out to get the drink i requested. They went above and beyond to make us happy and that's what counts, businesses should be all like this! read more

The famous Aloha Lounge -once the entertainment center for the musical Isaac family in the 70s has changed ownership multiple times- but as of October 1, 2018 new local owners have taken over the iconic location in Kaimuki. I went to the Grand Opening on October6, 2018 and had a great time. There are a bunch of big screen TVs around the bar - showing college, Pro, and local high school football. They are still working out the bugs for PPV sports I am guessing -so we'll see. There was live music and the crowd were older locals-you know - the non trouble making kine!! The wait staff was on it!! They have a big kitchen and although the food was all catered for the grand opening -I suspect in the future that will be utilized. I saw some famous people in there that night-so i think this is going to be a great spot to party!! Its changed into a pretty nice Sports bar-so I'll be going back for Football games and stuff. read more

You gots to be into neighborhood/dive bars OR in the mood to be somewhere "inconspicuous" definitely not part of the "scene" like MaiTais or The Shack which there is nothing wrong with those places but you know there are times when you 'ono for some fried aku and there are times when you 'ono for some egg rolls...you try and figure that analogy out... It was cool, kinda nostalgic and the regulars there reminded me little bit of the kine older people laid back "aunty" and "uncle" kine. There was a small bar with bar stools, a couple of pool tables, juke box, monitors for karaoke and a few long luau tables. Laid back atmosphere. One of highlights is the women's bathroom, clean and decent...not at all like how you would expect a neighborhood bar bathroom would look like or smell like. Location is a plus for me because I live close by. Convenient and fun, so if you live in the area: "don't be shy, give it a try..." read more

Only been here the one time but had a blast. To be honest this was our last stop of the night so I had some drinks before hand, which maybe why I could overlook some things that may bother others. Let me start by saying that there was an awesome crowd here, everyone was having a great time and were friendly and hilarious. We sang karaoke to our hearts content, very poorly I might add, and everyone clapped and danced. The karaoke system is a little dated, if the microphones get to close to eachother or a speaker you get a loud kick back. There is only one pool table so if you wanna play you may have to wait. I didn't really order much, but the drinks we did get were reasonably priced. I don't know if I'll ever make a plan to go here again but I wouldn't be surprised or dissapointed if after another night out I end up here. read more

Definitely a local hole in the wall ! My friends took me here right when I came into town for ironically my friend's going away party and I loved it ! Service: Mama San & uncle are so nice, they really take care of you and keep the drinks coming ! Drinks: They don't have a wide range of drinks, just beer & hards ! So I stuck to jäger bombs ($8) Food: I ate before I came so I can't say I've had it but my friends said the steak is good ! Just your average bar food Entertainment: karaoke !!! You can't go wrong with drunk singing lol, there's also a dart board, & a pool table. Venue: keep in mind it is a little run down, but it caters to locals not tourist, & local people are there for the good time ! read more

yelp 365 challenge #83/365 i have to say... i didn't want to write this review... because i didn't want everyone taking over this new gem that i found... but yelp is about sharing... so i'm going to share. :D this is a difficult place to find... i had to gps it...still couldn't find it... went around the block a few times and still passed it... finally had to call the place and get directions... and still had a lil difficulty. FiNALLY i found the place. my crown is $6 a pop :( so normally i wouldn't visit this place often... BUT! mama seriously does hook it up.... with the LOAD of yummy food... not just pupus BUT FOOD... meat jun, fish cakes, fries, eggs, noodles.... for how much?! nada. she has a menu posted up...but no one orders from there... no one needs to. yes, i read the reviews about food, but i figured that would be reserved for her regulars... but we were there for the first time and she just loaded us up! LOVE IT! it has a bit of a dive feel. i like it. two dartboards, two pool tables, a jukebox, megatouch, and singing... there is the load of singing :) the patrons here sing "i love this bar" and after being there once, you will too!!! read more

The most horrible owner!!! Absolutely crazy!!!! The customer service was atrocious and the food tasted like manure

Mama always hooks it up over here. free pupu's, friendly people- never seen a fight break out here. pool tables are fast, bar size..touch screen juke box, karaoke, and if you come on the right day you might get some fresh fish caught, cleaned and cooked by the local fisherman. free. stop by on fridays if ur around my age (22) to start off the night, or to wind down after a crazy one. open till 2 ;) read more

The singers here can be amazing and the drinks can be reasonably price IF YOU Watch Your BILL. Best to pay cash, cause sometimes, it seems drinks appear on it.that you may have not ordered, or someone in your party paid cash for. Brightly lit "aunty" style karaoke, it can be fun, like.hanging out with family in a carport. Pupus and happy hour are good value. Not a fancy atmosphere, but totally fine if you pay cash. read more

my uncle comes here a lot, the place is a little hole in the wall off the main street so its not a dead giveaway when you pull out of the parking lot that you've been drinking all night with your buddies. parking isnt that bad either and theres plenty of space outside to smoke and talk story with your friends. theres two pool tables, two dart boards, and a karaoke machine! plenty of regulars that go at it! songs are a dollar each and they have a pretty solid selection of hawaiian music. the owner is a really sweet korean lady, Olivia I believe.. one night I opened a tab and bought a ton of rounds.. she was really nice and cooked up two pupu plates of duck and two pupu platters of oysters for us! We bought her a round and tipped her well, and she bought us a round too.. I opened a tab the other night but was prettttty blasted.. I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt, but i'll just put it out there not accusing her of anything though be careful and do the math when you open a tab.. read more
