Had a great experience at Wild Orange. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and prompt. The drinks were tasty and the ambiance was great. Will be be back next time I'm on island.

"Oh yeah, I've been known to drink a beer or two. But then again, I've been known to do a lot of things." - Cosmo Kramer, Seinfeld In true speakeasy style, entrance is via a door disguised as an Aloha Maid vending machine; nestled down a dark hallway, in Hawaiian Brian's pool hall. You must face the dragon guarding magic coins that allow the door to open... da Scene: Tried out a couple spots for post-dinner drinks while back home on Oahu, Lewers Lounge, Vintage Bookstore, Veranda, Green Lady, and now Wild Orange. Cool vibes walking in 9pm on a Sat. nite, crowd was a good mix of locals and visitors. Looked like 5-6 4 tops and we took up 4 of about 10 seats at the bar. A great wall of vintage pinball machines helps set the stage; but 1st thing that hits me is the scent of the place, it smelled somehow like a speakeasy should... smoldering & sultry, yet had a distinctive welcoming island vibe. I was immediately transported to a comfortable space in my head, ready for what the nite had in store. da Libations: We just came from a great dinner @ Merrimans, so didn't do food this trip, but menu is interesting enough that I'd sample for sure next time. Drink menu is fairly deep, something for every palate; sweet, savory, fruit, bitter, wine, top shelf bottles, sake, beers... but speakeasy visit demands cocktails!! I'm a whiskey guy so go in for Miller Time and Santa's (sumptin, I forget) both executed well, pretty "boozey" - sip slow and drink lots of water! The girls all enjoyed theirs, oh they even had 4 "zero alcohol" options! Much appreciated by my wife, who loved the experience with a real, complex cocktail, sans alcohol. Usually she ends up with a juice or soda, so this was a treat. Really well thought out and I'm sure taste tested; well balanced flavor combos. da Service: All service staff were really nice. Attentive (but not intrusive), friendly (but authentic and genuine), plus FUN! Only got the name of our bartender, "Sam" if I heard right; she was on point all nite and made sitting at bar "performance art". It was plain she's seasoned behind the bar; at one point I think she had like 6 drinks going but STILL put on a show with short and long pour displays and shaking things up 2 at a time. Efficiency, meets skill, meets fun. Great to watch someone so good at their craft. Thanks Sam! We would've stayed for a 3rd round if didn't have to be in Waipio for my nephews soccer match @ 9am. Must visit spot, glad we peeked in, hope my sister starts girls nights here soon.

Wild Orange is a speakeasy bar located inside Hawaiian Brian's Social Club. It's a hidden bar and you'll have to find the entrance in order to get in. To find the door, go to the second floor of the parking garage and walk through the doors of HB Social Club. Walk half way down the hall and you'll see a dark hallway to your right. Go down the hallway until you see a "juice machine". Of course, it isn't actually a juice machine and is the door! To enter you'll need some nickels to put through the slot and the sound will let you know you have opened the door and can push through. If you don't have nickels, the bar has conveniently left some in a bowl next to the machine. They have a list of cocktails (both signature and seasonal), mocktails, and a list of shots that can be made into full-sized cocktails. The purple dragon is their most popular drink and had an ube and slight coconut flavor; it was sweet and easy to drink. The kohana tai was very strong and super spirit forward, almost too much even for me. The cafe colada was one of our favorites and not too sweet or coconut-y. The heat n up was very spicy and took us a while to finish because of the intense spice. For non-drink related items, all their food is plant-based. They allow reservations online and I recommend making them. If you do park they will validate. Our parking was $10 but with validation we only paid $2.

How have I not reviewed this place before? Well maybe because I wanted to keep it hush hush. Words been out for quite some time now and yet Wild Orange is still a favorite in terms of "speakeasy vibes" on island. Reservations strongly recommended. This place serves up impressive cocktails organized by taste, whether it be sweet, bitter, booze forward that you're into. The bites are yum! Yes, they are vegan only and no, I am not vegan myself. As long as you're not closed minded the bites serve up deliciousness! Many carnivore and omnivore friends agree! The vibe is dark, cozy and intimate. Okay for a party of 6 or less, better for small group outings or a date night. Now that you're intrigued, just need to find the entrance. Maybe grab a drink from the vending machine before? It'll only cost you a nickel!

Wild Orange is a true speakeasy experience -- so much so that finding it felt like an adventure in itself. We actually had to pull up a few TikToks just to figure out where the entrance was. Once we stepped inside, we were completely transported. The ambiance is incredible: retro, moody, and effortlessly cool, with a curated vibe that makes the whole space feel special. The drink menu has great variety, and everything we tried felt intentional and well-crafted. I ordered the Easy Squeezy, which features fresh orange juice -- and you can absolutely taste the difference. Bright, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. If you're in want a memorable, hidden-gem cocktail experience, Wild Orange is absolutely worth the hunt

My friends found this speakeasy through social media and we decided to come check it out. They offer reservations on their website and luckily we came on a Wednesday so they pretty much had full availability up until the day of although it does fill up as the day passes. One tip would be to put your entire party on one reservation so you can be seated together. We didn't know and made 4 separate reservations per group and we had to be seated separately. The hosts are also pretty strict about not getting up from your table to walk around. Eventually a table had left and they were able to move my party next to the rest of our friends so I really appreciated that. They offer cocktails, mocktails, and a good variety of food. All their drinks are tasty so any one you get would not miss. They have small cocktail shots for $10 and their regular cocktails are $17. You can also make any of the cocktail shots into a regular cocktail and just pay the $17 price. Overall it was a cool experience and would highly recommend checking it out!

Wild Orange is hands down one of the most unique and memorable bars I've ever visited in Honolulu. From the moment we dropped that nickel into the Aloha Maid vending machine and heard "Welcome to Wild Orange. Access granted," we knew we were in for something special (then found out you don't need to actualldrop a nickel... lol). The atmosphere is absolutely one-of-a-kind. The Japanese-inspired décor with the glowing orange tree centerpiece, vintage Bally pinball machine backglasses covering the walls, and ambient lighting creates an otherworldly vibe that feels both intimate and enchanting. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to transport you somewhere completely different. Every single drink we tried was perfectly crafted with delicate, balanced flavors that showcased true mixology artistry. The branded clear ice cubes were a nice touch that showed their attention to detail. What really impressed my lady (and me!) was how smoothly the alcohol was integrated - the flavors were so well-masked and harmonious that each sip was just pure enjoyment without any harshness. These aren't just drinks; they're liquid art. The service deserves special mention too. Our bartenders were incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable without being overbearing. They made us feel welcome and took the time to explain the cocktails and make recommendations based on our preferences. Wild Orange is an absolute must-visit, if you can find the bar, that is.

Fantastic speakeasy. Definitely make a reservation online. Attached to a parking structure, bring your ticket in to get validated. I did not try the food but it looked delicious. Food menu consisted of pupus that were vegan. Drinks were fantastic! I solely drink gin and was very impressed with the cocktails. Service was fantastic & a big part of the reason we're coming back. The bartenders on Saturday night were attentive, knowledgeable, and super friendly! The ambiance is perfect for either just a girls night or a date! Thanks you guys!

So make reservations!!! They are small and popular for the fact that they are so good, the vibe is vibing and the drinks are amazing! Best part they are so reasonably priced. I loved both of my drinks, they were prefect! The grass-hapa tasted like a mint chip ice cream. But not overly sweet! I loved it. I also had the Heat-n-up that tasted like an upscale jalapeño marg We are going back for sure. Although this time we will be tasting some of the whiskey/bourbons they are the best price around to get a neat pour. ***hint when you make reservations you will get a text that will help you find the secret entrance.****

Came here for a welcome party and it was such a cool vibe! The outside of the place was very unassuming but once you figure out how to get inside, the ambiance and decorations really set the mood. I wish I took more pictures inside but there's a tree in the middle and plenty of seating. There is a bar seating, sofas, and small chairs. I loved the wall of what looked like stain glass with all the different cities. If you like drinks that are more sweet, I would opt for the purple dragon and hold the boba! The purple dragon is non alcoholic but they can make it alcoholic! I think they used sake.

Wild Orange is a speakeasy that kept underground for a year, not appearing in any media before going public about its existence, as if prohibition was recently repealed. We took a few visiting friends out as they wanted to try a speakeasy and luckily for us, both Wild Orange and my friends' idle Wednesday made for easy reservations. We were the only people for the first thirty minutes at opening, so if you like your speakeasies quiet, consider off days. All the food is vegan, so take that into mind. We got several orders of the steamed char Sui Bao and spvm (presumably the v is for vegan) musubi. They both appear to be soy based but the vegan spam was exceedingly close to the real thing. Wondering if they press, marinate, and then smoke the presumably tofu or tempeh to get that spam like flavor and texture. The bao had something similar, but in a classic Chinese style white bao. I prefer baked bao overall, but not a bad choice to soak up the booze. As for alcohol, Wild Orange offers a number of shots that can also be turned into a cocktail. We got the Honey Tai and Purple dragon as shots, along with Purple Dragon, Fuu, Sargent Pepper, Easy Squeezy, Kohana Tai, Broken Record and hold the boba in cocktail form. The Purple Dragon, Hold the Boba, and Broken Record were my favorite. Both the Purple Dragon and Hold the Boba was very creamy and smooth, where the Broken Record was flavorful without any burn. You don't need a nickel anymore to unlock the vending machine door, but it does make cool sounds if you do put a nickel in. The speakeasy is dark inside, but cutely decorated. Staff are polite, fast, and efficient. Bathroom is shared with the rest of HB Social Club. They partially validate parking in the attached lot. If you're walking to Wild Orange, enter via the 24-Hour Fitness at the ground floor and walk up the internal staircase of the building

Love the concept of the bar and how you have to put in a nickel to enter the vending machine! If you don't have a nickel, you can always ask the bartender in Hawaiian Brian's for a nickel and they'll give you one. It does get pretty crowded, so make sure to get a reservation in if you want a guaranteed seating. You'll have 2 hours for each reservation. The drinks were fantastic! It was a bit pricey, but the drinks were tasty and delicious. Definitely one of the best bars with the best drinks! Will come back for sure to try out their other drinks!

Wild Orange speakeasy is a great experience from the secret door to access, to the delicious cocktails and food and topped off with the amazing service from Fern and Sam! Finding the location can be tricky for first timers, but here are some secret instructions: To find the door, go to the second floor of the parking garage. If you're being dropped by Uber, the stairs to access the parking garage are through the 24 Hour Fitness. Just walk in those doors and head to the check in desk, and walk past the desk into the parking garage. After you're in the parking garage, walk into Hawaiian Brian's Social Club. Walk halfway down the hall and you'll see a dark hallway to your right. Go down the hallway until you see a "Aloha Natural Fruit Drinks" machine. It isn't actually a juice machine and is actually the door. To enter you'll need a nickel to put through the slot on the upper right and the sound will let you know you have opened the door and can PUSH through. If you don't have a nickel, there should be a bowl of nickels next to the machine ready for the taking. Once inside, you're in for a treat! I first enjoyed a spin on the traditional manhattan but twisted for the holiday, with a burnt crème brûlée finish (thanks Sam!) Along with this delicious concoction I had the miso garlic caesar salad and the crunchy Asian slaw. Both were delicious but definitely get the caesar salad-definite winner! I also enjoyed the Smoked Roots cocktail, which was nice and Smokey with citrus undertones. Overall fabulous night in a cool retro vibe. Thanks for the hospitality Wild Orange!
