The Hawaiian Room opened in the 1960s, and was outfitted by Oceanic Arts. Today, much of the original decor is still in place, but is covered with typical sports bar banners and posters. In September 2003, a group of people temporarily removed all the sports bar ephemera and returned it to its prior glory for a one-night "resurrection" party.
Cool place and its great to see what it is to be. Moms has any idea how to make a tiki drink and its basically a sports beer bar . Original decoration is evident and especially like the black lave effect on the ceiling above the bar, but they've also added some Party City stuff and filled the place with TVs for sports. Staff was cool and fun. Worth at least one visit for the tiki decor.
Remember The Brady Bunch episode in which Ol' Mr. Hanalei warns the boys "my grandfaddah told me 'never go deh ' and I never go deh"? That's what I'm telling you. This place is Kapu.
The bathroom walls have gang grafitti carved into the walls. Red flag!
After I took some snapshots of the interior, the bartenders got on their phones and probably called in their homeboys because some parolee looking guys soon came in and gave me hard looks. Also, the jukebox started playing gangsta rap with lyrics about "killing the rats". They must have mistook my wife and I for undercover cops.
I used my debit card to pay the bill. Shortly after I received a fraud alert from my bank.
When I paid my bill, the bartender took a photo of me.
If you insist on going to this establishment, don't go alone and bring your weapon(s). Don't drink anything that isn't bottled and pay cash. This place is treacherous.

Still open, but with a sports bar makeover. I popped in on a Tuesday night and could hear the obnoxiously loud hip hop from the parking lot. The three bartenders were wearing animal print footie pajamas with hoods(?) And I had to yell for them to hear me. I grabbed a beer and finished it quick. The décor is still mostly there, but it's in disrepair. If I go again, it will probably be during the day.
I was here recently and it's a nice little place. They don't serve food here, but there is a strip mall next door and the restaurants there deliver their food to you. The drink prices are super cheap and I spent about 3 hours there eating, drinking, and absorbing the ambience.
