Add the cover charge, room gratuity, I felt scammed. If they just advertised $40/hr I would of been okay with it but their website says $20 on Sundays.

Came here after walking through Waikiki on a rainy afternoon passing by all sorts of food truck…read moreparks to get here. Place is in a hotel building on Lewers between Kuhio and Kalakaua. When I got there a guy was at the bar who just told me to walk into a room and start singing as it wasn't crowded at all so I got a room right away. They have both a Japanese setup with one device and also a Healsonic setup with a device to enter in the song codes but it is set for only the English catalog and no other languages. The setup was not bad apart from a few glitches in the very beginning. I just looked up songs on my own Healsonic app on my phone and entered them into their pad. Price was very reasonable - came during their happy hour so it was well worth it.

4.5 stars Why did I…read moregive this place 4.5 stars? Because I didn't actually get to go inside. Now you're thinking, "What??" Yup, because there's a dress code in order to get in! For guys you need a dress shirt and slacks to get in so when I walked in with my sandals and tshirt I was turned away at the door (I had been out at the beach all day and didn't have any dress shirts or slacks or anything). Now you're thinking, "If you got turned away why are you giving this place a review??" Because even though I couldn't go inside, the person at the door told me I could sit in the lounge area outside and still be served. I wasn't going to say no because I knew I wanted to go here so I took that option. Now let's get into the real stuff. This place is on the second floor of Orchids and Lewers Lounge so you'll have to take the stairs or the elevator to get there. Yes, the cocktails are pricey but you're not just paying for the drink; you're paying for an experience. Each of their $24 cocktails come with an appetizer/pairing. You can switch it out for another if you want but this is just their suggested pairing. My first pairing was the Hemingway old fashioned which comes with marinated mushroom and onion. I thought the old fashioned was good but I remember eating the appetizer and then taking a sip of the drink and saying out loud, "That just changed the flavor of the old fashioned." The appetizer was more acidic and sour and after having that coated around my mouth it made the old fashioned sweeter and not as bitter or sour. That just took me by surprise and realized just why they are the way they are. My second pairing was the halekulani cocktail which comes with vegetable brunoise with Ibérico Gelee Cream of Bacon. I feel like a lot of the juices in the cocktail overpower the taste of the whiskey even though the whiskey is what makes this cocktail special. After eating the vegetable brunoise the tropical flavors in the drink come out a lot more. My server told me that the whiskey is from Elijah Craig who makes this bourbon specifically for them and this drink. It also contains some 1950s bourbon so it really is a special drink. I love that one of the waiters came out to chat with me for a little bit. We talked about why I was visiting and where I was visiting from. We spoke about our travels and his travels to the Pacific Northwest like Seattle's Canon and Portland's Multnomah Whiskey Library (those are both some of my favorite bars ever and if you've never been, bookmark those for your next visit). It was unnecessary for him to do that but he did it anyway and I just think that speaks to the experience they want to provide their guests, regardless of whether they're inside or outside. A part of me thinks a part of the complete experience is lost because I was unable to actually have a drink inside the bar. I have no doubt that had I been allowed to go in this would be an absolutely great 5 star experience. I got that top-notch service even sitting outside and I know I would've gotten that perfect atmosphere inside. I still wish to this day I could've gotten in the door but I guess that's for another day. You bet if I'm going back to Oahu I'll be bringing a lot of t-shirts and shorts and one nice outfit just for this place.

We stopped by In Between Waikiki for karaoke, and the night started off great. It wasn't too busy…read morewhen we arrived, we ordered drinks, settled in, and started singing. As the night went on, the bar got much busier, but we continued ordering drinks (I had around five, my boyfriend had four), paying for every karaoke song. The experience changed because of the bartender's attitude. We put in a couple of songs back-to-back since we knew we'd be leaving soon, and he seemed irritated by it. That didn't make much sense to me, especially since it's a karaoke bar and customers pay for each song they sing. The other bartender working was also putting in multiple songs throughout the night, so it felt like there was a double standard. Another issue was ordering drinks. The bar is extremely small, so after placing our orders, my boyfriend would step a few feet away to make room for other customers to get to the bar while waiting for the drinks to be made. We never left the area--we were literally only a few feet away--but the bartender acted like this was somehow a problem and gave us attitude over it. Toward the end of the night, about 20 minutes before closing, I turned in one last song request for my boyfriend. The bartender told me they weren't taking any more songs, so I simply threw the request away and moved on. Then he came looking for me afterward asking what the song was. At that point, I was over the interaction. Overall, the atmosphere and karaoke were fun, but the customer service really took away from the experience. We spent money on drinks, paid for every song we sang, and treated the staff respectfully. I just expected the same courtesy in return. I would have enjoyed the night much more if the bartender had been more welcoming and consistent with how customers were
