Hawaiian Room

Dive bar, loud rock music, sketchy area.

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.

This place is closed.

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.

The place is great. Its the bar that time forgot. Its got a great look. Not too many like it.
