Anyplace is like going to your Aunties house for drinks and local comfort food. The service is very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is always fun and welcoming. The regulars who play darts are a part of the liveliness. Sometimes there's live music, that's like your uncles playing music at a family party. Oh also live big tv screens is a plus for sports! read more

Love coming to Anyplace. It's a great locals hangout that has a great vibe. The staff is always friendly! I had to have my super duper combo sandwich platter. This visit I tried the Obachan's fried chicken. WOW! Nice crispy skin and tender juicy chicken. I gotta have this the next time too! Drinks were pretty strong and the AC was cold. Such a great place to come to! I feel like I'm home! read more

WOW! The food and service were amazing. Very friendly staff and quick service. Your classic local spot for big portions and flavors. One of the best kimchi fried rice I ever had in my life. No shade but this place might be better than Side Street Inn. The fried chicken was crispy and came out steaming. I can't wait to come back again. Parking is tight but there's street parking as well. read more

Anyplace Cocktail Lounge - Fried Chicken - Lounges Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Still one of my fave local bars. Hadn't been since before Baby and friends threw baby shower there...or maybe we brought Baby once. I can't remember. But friends visiting so I suggested there. Choke food...everything good. But that Salad. Oh that Salad. So good. I forgot about it and now I really need to go back and order it again. read more

Local Sports Bar Vibes + Ono Comfort Food If you're looking for polished, trendy, or craft cocktails, this isn't it. But if you want ono local-style bar food, generous portions, a rotating board of $10 specials, and a true "local sports bar" feel, this is da place. Perfect for grabbing a plate, a beer, and watching the game without breaking the bank. I haven't found another sports bar with Fried Gizzards on the menu. That's local style bra ;) The menu hits all the local favorites with fried noodles, kalbi, fish & chips, teri burgers, dried ika, and plenty of pupus for sharing. The specials board is a winna, with $10 deals like shoyu chicken, lau lau, smoke meat, and teri cheeseburgers with fries. Solid portions, local flavors, and prices that won't hurt your wallet...much. Lots of big screen TVs line the walls, so you can catch the game from every seat. There are booths for small groups, long tables for larger crews, and bar seating if, like me, you want to elbow up. Dart boards in the back add to the old-school bar feel. Service is exactly what you'd expect from a spot like this, super friendly, no fuss, local style. Parking is limited out front, but you can find more across the street at the Central Pacific Bank lot after hours (flat $7). Overall, this is a laid-back, neighborhood-style sports bar that does what it's supposed to. Good food, good drinks, and plenty of TVs for the game. No frills, just the real deal. Let's Go Chargers!! read more

Love Anyplace Lounge! The food is delicious, they have a full bar and I love the bands that Judy brings in to perform! Service is also on point! read more

Came here with my cousin to listen to Pure Joy! she is my cousin's neighbor and her singing did not disappoint! Limited street parking and $7 all night parking across the street at CPB. It was nice to not have to go far. Food: I wanted to order everything cause I was so hungry but I settled for lechon and garlic (no parmesan) fries. My cousin went healthy and got a salad and steamed fish. Granted everything got shared but when it came to taking home the leftovers, I got the pork and she took the fish. Our server Duc was just great with accommodating all our questions and special dietary needs. He also offered some suggestions. It wasn't overly busy but almost all the tables were filled. So to sum it up, good company, we talked a lot and caught up on life, great atmosphere and music, yummy food and awesome service. This hole in the wall lounge made a spot in my heart! read more

Food was excellent. Great service. Nice place for a gathering. We got here a little early so we were able to get parking. Staffs here are super attentive. We came here for a get together which was a perfect place. read more

We wanted to come see 808caravan perform. It took forever to find parking and when we finally got inside the place was packed, no one greeted us, so we headed to the bar where a lady acted like we were in the way and a guy told us they were all booked up so we couldn't even order from the bar. So we left. Not coming back. Headed down the street for friendlier vibes. read more

This wasn't my first time here, and my previous experiences had always been good. Unfortunately, this visit was completely different. When we arrived, the hostess asked if we had a reservation. We said we didn't and asked if we could sit at the bar. She rather rudely told us that everything was full and to "check at the bar." When we got there, the bartender was very friendly and immediately said, "No worries, we have a table for you." She seated us, and we ordered a few rounds of drinks and pupus. A little later, the same hostess came to our table and rudely told us to move to the bar. We politely explained that we were halfway through our drinks and would be happy to move as soon as we finished. She responded, "No, you need to move now because this table is reserved and the party is here." She walked away, and I expected her to come back so we could ask for the check. Instead, she sent a waiter with our bill. After we paid, she returned and started cleaning the table while we were still sitting there. The waiter brought our receipt and apologized several times for the situation. I told him it was unfortunate because this would be our last visit. He apologized again and said there wasn't anything he could do because she was the owner. It's a real shame. This is not how loyal customers should be treated. We had always enjoyed coming here, but after this experience, we won't be returning. read more

Came for 80's night. I felt like the youngest person in there LOL. The band playing was Wasabi and they were really good. They sure got the crowd going. I ordered the chicken salad which was good, but would've been better with white meat/chicken breast. Hubby said the tater totts were crispy. He also had a BLT and Spam/Egg combo, which he liked. Parking is a challenge. The lot got full fast. You can park in the lot across the street for a $7.00 flat fee until 6am. They also have street parking if you're lucky. read more

This is a BUSY place. And like the TARDIS, it's bigger on the inside than you would think from the outside, especially after looking at the parking lot (translation: don't expect to find a parking spot). Typical bar food. We had to sit at the bar, so the bartender was our sever, and she was VERY busy. The food was generally good, but the yakisoba (fried noodles) was REALLY salty. Drinks were okay, but nothing standout or special. This is a very 'local' spot, not a high-end bar or craft cocktail bar in any sense of the word. As long as you temper your expectations, you may like it. I didn't ask, but I have to wonder. Was it named Anyplace because when you ask your significant other where they want to go and they answer, "I don't care. Anyplace" you bring them here? read more

Any Place Lounge Wednesday Nite band "Last Minute Band" so good! The food is AWESOME, location, is good... parking can be a challenge... especially when get live music.. choke ppl, dancing and having fun The service is good too. read more

The food was okay at best and was not worth coming down. We came to visit and was hoping for some good food. It was not expected. The service was not what we expected. We tasted the mango drink and did not like it to return it and was still charged. From a sip to a charge. They did not even try to fix it. The ambiance was good but you can tell that they do not cater to tourist and just the local scene. We were hoping for a better Hawaii experience read more

I had a late lunch with Maris on a Thursday in mid-June, at Anyplace Lounge. Maris got so drunk the night before, at her friend Rian's birthday party at Little Joe's that she just had water to drink. I had a Diet "Coke" which didn't seem like it was an authentic Coca Cola product. It was noticeable to me, although I guess when people in the bar are getting drunk, they can't discern the difference. We went to Anyplace because Maris has been on this quest to find the old school place or dingy diner which has great food, most notably the best hamburger, French fries, and saimin on Oahu. Maris ordered a cheeseburger, French fries, and saimin. I ordered a hamburger and fried noodles. The food was pretty good and I would go back, although the fried noodles were not the best. The hamburger was served on sandwich bread instead of on a bun, which was pretty old school. Guess it keeps the cost down since regular sandwiches and burgers can be served on the same kind of bread. The fries were pretty good, fried crispy like Maris orders them. I think the place gets pretty busy during prime time; when we were leaving, a couple more mixed groups of 4 came in. Prior to that, it was only the regular strays at the bar. So far, we have been to Jane's Fountain, Liliha Bakery, Shiro's, Tanaka Saimin, Shige's Saimin Stand, and a couple other places. And still exploring. LMK if there are other places worth trying. Thanks. read more

First of all congratulations on the new location! This is my OG of OG and gosh how cool and spacious is their new spot though on the flip side parking is now the biggest challenge. I totally love the vibe here as it's super huge in comparison of their smaller former space it's incredible how many tv's they also got as there will never be a fear of missing out no matter where you're sitting. As soon as you step in there's a white board filled with specials and the one that caught our eyes was the Laulau plate...yum! Their regular menu is filled with all things we love like Spam & Egg, Fried Noodles, Kal Bi, Lechon even Vienna sausage. We did order the Laulau plate along with Garlic Soybeans, Chicken Wings, and yup Saimin! Everything was super good and just how I like it feels like home and comfort foods. The staff here is just so friendly and constantly checking up on us and all the tv's was just a great disconnect to a forced conversation lol! Nice and spacious to brings groups of all sizes to enjoy whatever the occasion brings Anyplace is the the place to be! Thank you! read more

Respectfully, please do not come here if you have a large group. Came here on a whim with a party of 28 people. We called ahead of time to ask if they can accommodate and they assured us they could.... They couldn't. Let me explain: Our reservation time was 7pm. It took almost an hour to two hours for everyone's food to come out. Mind you, the restaurant wasn't too busy while we were there. 30-45 minutes after our party ordered, they notified us that they couldn't make 2 out of 4 steaks because they ran out. Because of the inconvenience, they didn't make it up to us in any way outside of taking them off our bill. Maybe a refill would keep customers coming back, just a tip. Another tip may be printing out menu QR codes and putting them on tables for easy access. We were only given 2 menus for our whole party. Also consider providing water for refilling cups for large parties. This place might be great for just grabbing drinks but if you think about where to go with a large party, please don't consider this place. read more

Great food. Signature fried chicken oko. Welcoming atmosphere, like a genuine local bar. Parking is limited. Parking available at a neighborhood bank after hours, minimal fee. I'd definitely go again. read more

My cuz picked me up around 9:15 in Waikīkī, and we arrived at nearby Anyplace around 9:30ish. Unfortunately, it was a Thu and it was last call. Nonetheless, we enjoyed a beer and cocktail at the bar from the nice bartender. I peeked at tbe menu, and it looked like they had good food. My cuz confirmed the foregoing. The ambiance is very casual, and is atypical of local joints in Hawai'i. Most people were locals and you could feel the Aloha. I'll have to come back on a Fri or Sat when they stay open til midnight. I'd like to sample some pupus (apps) while enjoying a reasonably priced drink. read more

Anyplace Cocktail Lounge - Heiny light and Crown & coke - Lounges Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We've been going here for over 12 years as regular patrons but some days it's packed with large groups who stay for karaoke or game night for hours so hard to get a table for 2. Food is good with some ono daily specials. Servers are friendly and on point but recently experienced rudeness by a staff which wasn't necessary. Sadly for these reasons we won't be going back. read more

Anyplace Cocktail Lounge is quickly becoming our favorite place to go for a really ono, reasonably priced meal with friendly service and a fun, casual dining experience. So far, over 4 separate visits, we have completely enjoyed their chopped salad, laulau plate, Super Duper combo sandwich (spam & egg, hamburger, grilled cheese, BLT), lumpia, Chinese steamed fish, lechon, fried noodles, vegetable plate, cold tofu and a St. Patty's special, shepherd's pie! They have tables for big groups and for smaller intimate diners. They have karaoke, darts and lots of TVs for sports and news, plus they have food and drink specials. Love love love! Thank you, Judy and staff, we have enjoyed each and every visit, and we think of you first when we pick a place to bring our friends or even just the two of us. I need to try your Obachan fried chicken still! We will be back soon! I'm read more

There was a time when an "open tab" meant your server put a pitcher on your table and everyone threw in a $20 letting the server help themselves with each successive round. Pitcher empty, everyone throw in another $20. A time when your choice was a brown bottle or a green one with or without a bucket of ice. A time where the fried chicken, kalbi, fried noodles were free as long as you kept drinking. Kamigata's, Flamingo's Waipahu, Shinsho Tei, and yes, Anyplace. The food is not free anymore but if you love the old school taste, it delivers. Kalbi, grilled, sweet soy goodness. "Obachan's fried chicken", incredibly crisp skin, juicy interior with the home cooked taste. Old school bacon fat laden fried rice, win! Cheap beer. Nothing fancy unless you consider Kona Longboard on tap fancy. Heavy pours of dive bar standard drinks (kamikaze anyone?). Incredibly friendly service with an unexpected tech twist. Your orders are taken on an iPad. Great place to watch a game with well placed large screens everywhere. A true come as you are, local dive bar that brims with the feeling of mutual understanding and belonging you only get from those who grew up in Hawaii. read more

Great ambiance, a true local gem to those of us who have been born and raised here. However, they need to hire better (younger?) severs. I understand that when establishments are busy, fast service might be a little harder to come by. But when you have severs outright ignoring you and taking orders for an ENTIRE TABLE of people instead, that's where I have to draw the line. No sorry, no nothing. The lady even matched eyes with us, yet deliberately walked away to put in the order of the group after us.. Absolutely horrible and unacceptable in any capacity. This review won't do anything to dent their revenue; rather, I took it upon myself to leave some trace of this atrocity in the digital ether in the hopes that the poor, clueless lady will hear about this some day and do her job a little better. DON'T DISCRIMINATE ANY CUSTOMER based on the way they look, what they've ordered, the language they speak--just DON'T! You have no right to pick and choose who you cater to. Do your job and do it right. read more

Anyplace Lounge is the perfect place to chill out with beers or cocktails, watch games, play darts, sing karaoke, celebrate family events or just chow down on their super ONO menu items that include all the local favs. We even take friends from the mainland there and they love the food (Spam & egg pupu sandwiches are a surprising big hit) and relaxing local ambience. Judy, the owner, is super nice and her staff are very friendly. Nothing fancy...no gimmicks or fads, just a comfortable and enjoyable environment where you and your friends can relax, talk story, eat and drink without breaking the bank. Try it out...the odds are you'll end up going back. I have since they opened at their original location on King St. about a block and a half from their current set up. Aloha! Hama read more

Food was awesome! Great flavor & served family style. Ambiance was nice and homey like a place you've gone to many times before. The service on the other hand was terrible. It wasn't that crowded and it seemed like the food took forever to come. My friends literally ordered just moments before we did and it took almost half an hour between their order and ours. Then once the food came our server was no where to be seen. Even waiting for take out containers and our bill took forever. Great place & great food but service really lacked that night. read more

Great local bar with karaoke and darts. Very lively with a lot of people and just a good time. The pupus are delicious and decently priced and big portions. We had such a good time with karaoke and it's $2 per song. Service is good and aunties taking care of you! The vibe is very friendly and everybody's having a great time. Parking stalls are very limited so try to come in a group if you can or Uber. We had the smoked meat, fries, kalbi, Chinese chicken salad, sandwiches and fried noodles. Everything was absolutely delicious like a home cooked mom's meal. Wine/whiskey menu is very plain and nothing exciting so don't expect something bougie. If you're into shots, beers, simple cocktails, this place is it. Support local, they have great service and knows how to do it right! read more

A nice little hole in the wall to just kick back and relax. It's nothing special or loud or upbeat, but that's why I love it here. You feel welcomed and not like you have to dress fancy or spend a lot of money. The food is your common bar food, but it will get you by. Their kitchen does close a little early so be prepared. There have darts in the back, but sadly no pool table. The staff us friendly and welcoming and the same staff from their precious location. If you wanna just chill and relax then this is the place. read more

Amazing food and drinks with friends. Great place to have Ohana get together and watching football games, especially watching UH go green!

A humorous note to preface my review: I had originally planned to pick up dinner from The Cheesecake Factory since someone had sent me a text that mentioned that TCF was offering 2 slices of their yummy cheesecake with the online and take-out purchase of at least $30 (I'm so Chinese!). Luckily I had the foresight to call the Waikiki location first. As is usual for many offers from national chains, not valid in HI. Rats, this is after I had taken detailed entree orders and cheesecake selection from my family! Being a nimble Yelper, I decided on alternate take-out for the family from Anyplace Lounge. No cheesecake offered but that's a good thing if you're watching your sweets and calories, right? After placing my order and finding off street parking (why is their parking lot so full?) I walked into the entrance and found our that I was picking up tasty bar food during the NCAA football championship game between Alabama & Ohio State. Impact? That's why parking lot was packed with several trucks double parked. No biggy as I was able to catch some of the action while waiting for my food. Ordered kalbi, obachan chicken, grilled pork chops and fish & chips for 3 families. Even though the bar was packed with socially distancing customers glued to the tv and their food, service was great, food was great and I still got to feed the family with yummy take-out while patronizing a local small business. I'd call that a win, right? read more

Ordered the kimchee fried rice, should hotdogs, tater tots with cheese and bacon, and fried chicken. Overall everything tasted great except the tater tots. It tasted very oily and mushy like they microved old tots with the cheese on top. I was a little bit disappointed with the kimchee fried rice. It tasted pretty good , but it was the same as the regular fried rice with a couple pieces of kimchee placed on top so there wasn't really any kimchee. Next time, I will defiently get the regular fried rice. Service was non-existant. Food: 4/5 Service: 1.5/5 read more

We were told by one of the guys from outrigger on the beach that we should try anytime. We set off to go to anytime and took an Uber over there but after we got to where we were going we found out at wrong place we were supposed to be at Any Place and so glad we found it. When we got there a very nice lady told us that they were booked we told her what happened and she found a spot for us she was so kind and really very nice and sweet set the tone for what we were expecting a good dinner.

Any place it's just a super friendly local bar with the most delicious food that I actually dream about on a random weekday.

You will not be disappointed! read more

They moved to the corner of McCully St & Young St recently, and although there's less parking there's a lot more sitting space. there's metered parking on King Street around the corner, and some space along McCully. You can also park in the bank lot across the street, but it is pricey. Great news, they recently started offering draft beer in addition to various bottles and cans. However, the real secret is the extensive menu, all recipes from the owner Judy herself. My favorites are the ribeye steak sliced pupu style, the crispy/oh-so-savory fried chicken, and the Kalbi ribs. My mom's favorite is the fish/tofu bites fried crispy with a dipping sauce. For a comfort dish try the chicken tofu or pork tofu, both comes in little pans in a wonderful soy sauce-based sauce with onions and lots of fresh watercress on top. If you're not a watercress fan like my mom, ask for it without! For your starch, they have tater tots and loaded tater tots but my favorite is the kimchi fried rice. You get a huge mound of it with an egg on top, always enough to take home leftovers. If you're in the sandwich mood, go with the mixed sandwich plate which has an assortment of spam and egg, BLT, and hamburger sandwiches. Ask for a little Tabasco on the side to spice up your spam and egg! read more
