It was noonish and I was getting hungry (not quit Hangry! But getting there!)…read more While looking for something new, I discovered Hangry Mana Bar & Kitchen. Shared with my wife and we came for lunch today. Took a moment to find how to drive in the back of the mall / building (recommend the driveway ramp on the East side of the building). Then when we pulled up, my wife was like "where are you taking me?!" being this is kinda a "hole in the wall bar"! ;0) Sign is inviting, Yelp profile as well... so we went in! Staff were super friendly and the restaurant / bar was very clean! We just wanted a light lunch / pupu style, so we got the sizzling steak, fried noodles and chicken wings. Wings were good. Fried noodles a really good comfort food! And the sizzling steak was awesome!! We'll be back to try other options and for drinks! PLUS, they are open until 2pm! Sometimes it's hard to find decent food later in the day once you head West from Honolulu, NOW we know a place!! "Thank You... Very much!"

We will definitely be back! About a month ago a friend and…read moreI decided we wanted to drink and karaoke and we chose this place because we heard that they had really good food. We were not disappointed, but that is not why I would definitely be back. Let me give a little background. We are only supposed to be there from 5 to 9 at the latest. Initially, it was quiet people were watching TV and there was literal families. They're having dinner. We quietly drank, ordered our food and flipped through the karaoke book for when we were enough intoxicated to start singing. Keep in mind everyone was still eating. My friend, who is a fantastic singer, finally put in a song and out of the corner of the room all we heard was "Oo. Are we singing now?" or something to that effect. After my friend broke the ice and sang the first song it was all singing from that point forward. The songs arranged from country to old 80s love songs to whatever, and they were being sung by people from all over the room. Couple tables turned over while we were there, despite that if a good song came on, people were singing from their seats and it was not an issue to anybody. By the 10 o'clock hour, my friend was singing duets with a guy. She's never met before, but who could sing and the whole bar was just on such a positive vibe. Food was great. The wait help is fantastic. We ended up staying till midnight. Closing the bar down. It was such an intimate and welcoming vibe that we will definitely be visiting again.

There's also Karaoke and Darts! If you're into that.

We sat ourself on a high table and was greeted by our bartender who was so sweet. She recommended the top 3 holiday drinks to us, which we tried. We really liked the 1) Jack Frost, 2) Abuelita's Hot Cocoa, and 3) Grinch Punch. Our cocktails were delicious and I liked the chill atmosphere and vibe this place had to it since we came once the mall was closed. This bar only served alcohol so I heard it was BYOF = bring your own food to enjoy while you drink, which is pretty cool! I definitely would come again!

The poke was fresh but it was a little salty for my taste. I am not sure but I think he uses oyster sauce or something in his sauce. It's good but I like my poke more on the plain side with no sauce. My friend absolutely loved the poke. So this comes down to preference.

The bartender who was also a server was super super friendly and helpful and patient. She was very kind to explain the menu and also about the vodka infused flavors behind the bar. We ended up ordering a couple rounds of lychee martinis as well as fried pork chops and onion rings. We weren't that hungry, but everything was super tasty and very fresh. This is conveniently located next to the bowling alley as well as other grocery stores and shops. Parking is very ample. I would definitely come back here again in the area on this part of the island and town for a bite and a good drink.

Came out to check on the table once in the 2 hours we were there. Our food was sitting at the bar for a while, we grabbed it ourselves No sauce or anything came with it. Would not recommend this place to any one other than having a beer at the bar to kill time. Don't expect any service whatsoever

So I opted for a beer & a special from the bar, Let Them Talk. LTT has several bar stools, but you can take your food and/or drink to any table in the food court. Ordered a draft of Asahi and the beef bulgogi special ($10, rice & mac salad included). Several minutes later, everything was ready. We picked up our order and went back to the table we were sitting at. The food was meh, and salty in the tradition of bar food everywhere. But it filled you up and counteracted the beer. I haven't lived in Pearl City in over 40 years, so this was a rare waystop. But if circumstances presented itself, and with low expectations I would come back. Will repeat and recommend with caveats.

The bar can provide darts for you to play with, but we bring our own. The waitresses are always so attentive and helpful. They stop by multiple times to ask if you need anything. Keeping an open tab with them is probably the easiest way to go for both parties. We decided to try the Korean Fried Chicken since it was on a special for that day. And boy was it good! The flavor was great, it was cooked just right, everything about it made me want to come back and order it again. Which I probably will! There is ample parking for this bar in the parking structure above it and across the street in the old Sears parking lot at pearl ridge mall. This place can get a bit busy on weekend nights, but a very chill vibe/spot to go to after a work day if you want to have a beer with some friends or coworkers.

We also got the ribeye and it was surprisingly really tasty. We were really surprised by how good their food were!

It wasn't too crowded when we went, so we'll be sure to check them out later at night!

Legendary cocktail experience. My partner and I frequent a lot of top 50 bars across the world and…read moreBar Leather Apron operates at that level. The drinks are well balanced and have a lot of Japanese flavor influence (i.e shisho, matcha, yuzu). Presentation and breakdown of each drink component was exceptional; it is clear that the mixologists understand the nuances of their ingredients and the techniques they employ. Special shout out to Scotty for taking care of us tonight. Excited to come back again :)

Months before my trip to Oahu, I tried to book a reservation to Bar Leather Apron but was unable to…read moredo so because the reservations were immediately scooped up right as they were released. To my surprise, on a Sunday evening after having dinner nearby at Maze, my wife and I walked over to Bar Leather Apron and we were able to get seated right away! In fact, around 7:30 p.m. when we stopped by, there was actually a ton of seating available in the bar. Who would've guessed. If you're in the same boat as me and are unable to find a reservation for your upcoming visit, I would encourage you to stop by and try a walk-in. The first page of the menu lists a wide variety of whiskey based cocktails. Most -- if not all, of the cocktails are pre-fixed with BLA (Bar Leather Apron), and represent a collaboration with the named distillery. If you're fan of whiskey, you'll definitely have a difficult time picking only one. I ultimately ordered their "Take Warning" -- 2021 BLA Knob Creek BLA Single Barrel, Cynar, Carpano Antica, Mezcal, Bergamot Salt. Drinks here are not cheap -- averaging $20 to $25 per drink. Although my drink was very spirit forward, it still felt very well balanced. I appreciated the hint of smokiness from the mezcal that rounded out the end of a sip. Service here quick and friendly. When we received the check, a cute small chocolate snack was brought over as well, borrowed from the menu at Maze. Overall, I can see why Bar Leather Apron has earned so many accolades in its field. Definitely worth a stop by if you enjoy the art of mixology.
