It's a very nice looking bar. Music was very hit or miss for me personally. The reason I put 2 stars is because there is alot of macho man flexing. You can be asked what your problem is and if you want to fight by complete strangers that you may have crossed gazes with. It just feels kind of hostile.

Bar 35 is a great bar to meet people and start your night. There are two sections, with rarely a line to get in. The front section is a large bar with a dancefloor and main DJ where mostly dance hip-hop and/or Top 40 is being played, depending on who the DJ is. The back section is an open area where you can freely smoke and has a bar. The music is usually 90's and Top 40 hip hop. It also has seating areas ranging from sofa couches to small seats and benches. Finally, within the bar, there is a place to enjoy small eats, such as appetizer like items and pizza. Overall, great bar to start off your night in Waikiki.

Good beer selection, non-draft that it's. I think like 5 taps for the draft selection. Decent pricing for the beers. We've visited a few times now and the draft menu seems to rotate a steady variety of beers. Food here is better than expected especially for bar food. The lumpia is good. The wings are good too. Ordered twice baked. Pizza is nice too. Really thin crispy crust and it all had good flavor. There's a couple tables and a decent length bar. There's another bar in the rear that's outdoors work seating and another area indoors for seating with more tables. Service is good but when it gets busy the servers are not set up to handle the work load causing waits to build up but I guess it is expected all considering. Aside from that they are very friendly and helpful. If you're trying to come on the weekend get there early because not only will you hit a cover charge after a certain hour but you will also find yourself standing and not at a table. They've got a DJ that starts at like 9 and typically plays a variety of music trying to please the whole crowd. Lots of dancing and drunken drink spilling going on on the dance floor area. The men's bathroom is useable and I don't recall the wife complaining about the women's one, so must be acceptable as well. Parking is strictly street and paid city parking lots so be prepared for that. You may be hunting for a spot for a hot minute if you get to town too late. There are a bunch of bars and eateries all around this area so it's usually pretty poppin' especially on Friday night and the weekends but we tend too have a good time and might out when we come here.

Love this place. Great vibe and ambiance. Music are great and the drinks are better. The service could be better. This girl name Sydney with brown hair and she's really slim was extremely rude. We asked her for a drink and she completely ignored us. She then reply once we got her attention that she's not making the drinks for my friend. I just don't get it.

This could be a super cool place if everyone didn't go to it. Place is always jammed packed and feels a little hostile but that's the people in it not the bar itself. Tips are a must here. I've never seen wait staff and bartenders work so hard at a club/bar before. Be warned you're probably going to get touched, grabbed, and rubbed up on even if you don't want to. If something happens that you don't like, tell the bouncers y'all. That is something this bar is really good about. There are A TON of bouncers that will have no problem grabbing someone and throwing them out if they're acting a fool. Great back area outdoors with a few couches to chill and relax on.

Great music but overpriced drinks which lowers the tips on the bartenders, so they are not helpful.

When this bar first opened, it must've had the most expansive beer selection in the state. I still think it boasts a pretty large selection of beers to try. What's more, they have a nice selection of pizzas to snack on while imbibing the various bottles of beer available. The location of the bar is convenient for downtown office workers to grab an after work drink. But, it's a great hangout for those coming into Chinatown as well. The area has improved a bit in the last decade due to the recent gentrification that's been taking place.

Great selection of happy hour beers that I thoroughly enjoyed!

Lead bartender was super awesome and attentive. Food was delicious and service in general was great (with good happy hour specials). Good chill spot to hang out - only hung out at bar, did not go to patio.

Bar35guest is a most excellent wifi connection. The downtown young, up and coming, and outgoing. People are people as they say. Most enjoy a good night out, dressing the best. Somewhat bold but obnoxious, keep caution in mind, as a new meaning to the word sophomoric. Hee hee!

I highly recommend this bar, it's fun to go to and they have this really good lemon drop martini called the Christini (not on the menu you have to ask for it), it's great for those that prefer it to be a little less sweet or more sour.

Great cocktails! Happy hour prices that can't be beat.

Pretty good place to chill. Always go there to pregame on Fridays. Fun on the inside cause it's a nice Dancey vibe. On the outside it's pretty chill too but feels like your hanging out at a sauna.

It was closed

Monday All Day Happy Hour? My roommate and I decided that we weren't going to make it through the day without a drink. The Hanger One Vodka martini was on point! And the okonomiyaki french fries delicious 😋 Staff was friendly & service great. Might be different on a busy night.

Good crowd and atmosphere, solid Moscow Mule.

Gretchen is an absolutely fantastic bartender. She can read the mood of her clients and creates a wonderful atmosphere! She also got us really, REALLY, really drunk very efficiently. Autocorrect has saved this review so many times.

Visited this place about a year ago! Clientele from 20 up to 60. Great vibes , amazing service ! I loved to sit on the patio with all the girls .

For Halloween they were supposed to do wristbands to get into any bar for $15 and when I went they charged me $20 to get into the bar and wouldn’t give me a wristband to get into another bar so I wasn’t able to do the bar crawl. Waste of money. Manefist is better

Way more beer selections than you see anywhere else. And quality beer (Duvel, Chimey, Founder's) and all the local beer (maui, kona, lanai, Aloha, waikiki), and organized by all the varieties (lagers, ipa, sours, stouts, anvers...). My new go-to local chinatown/downtown bar. The food is also awesome! Great selection of flatbreads and pupus! The live music is also a huge plus! And they have private rooms for larger parties!

While there was no line to get in, which was good, once the place got crowded the 2 small ceiling-mounted a/c units couldn't handle the heat in the front room. The decor - concrete walls, ceiling and floor with one side having a long bar. A few rectangular tables and metal chairs, which kept disappearing the closer to midnight it got, and your done. Throw in a DJ and a projected scene on the back wall and you'll understand why there was a line next door at "Next Door."

Good vibes

It was a cool lounge spot in Chinatown before the vaccine mandate. Friendly staff. Decent beer selection but overpriced ($6-$13 for a single beer). Especially if you like craft beers. Mixed drinks aren't all that great though, just average and overpriced too. The lines get really long on Fridays and Saturdays so beware. Come early around 8:30pm or earlier unless you want to wait in line for 30+min. Gonna miss being able to come and go without being required to Vax. Hope they don't lose too much business and shutdown. :/

Really enjoyed our night here. The staff was friendly and helpful. The doorman was even polite which is rare at bars/nightclubs. The patio out back was the best with good music and drinks. Get there early for a comfy seat! This is definitely the best bar in Chinatown.

This is Hawaii, don't expect a great nightlife. Clubs and bar are closing at midnight, crowd in their 20s, food and drinks are overpriced... Bar 35 is pretty fine though. And even if you don't like it, there are other bars in the same street. Go early and give it a try.

It's been a while since I visited Bar 35. Sat at the bar with friends and had a wonderful time. It has a live entertainer (a singer) tonight and he was awesome! Had the pork belly and Brussels sprouts--both were delish! Will definitely go back more often!

Great FACNEY little bar in China town. Had a few glasses of wine and beer there. I'd recommend dressing up a bit. Staff was mediocre.

great place for happy hour! we got 6 drinks for about $20

Terrible, definitely need new bouncers

Great place. Just don't order the oyster. Waste of time and money.

Happened upon this bar. Excellent service. Clean and well organized. Great servers. Nice outdoor patio. Well worth a visit or 10!!!

There was a bit of a line and I believe the cover was $10 or $15. Not a huge place - decent sized. Couldn't really taste the alcohol in our drinks and the music was less what you'd hear on the radio, but pretty chill. There was even a man playing the drum as he walked around, so that was interesting! They have a couple VIP areas in the back and a smaller patio area with cute umbrella decorations all above your head.

Really nice clean place. Like the cleanest bar I have seen in Oahu. Gretchen is fantastic and I will back around 4pm again.

First time here and very surprised how spacious it was, mind you it was around 8pm on a Friday night. They have open layout with bar seating and high tables to hang around, no seats in the front area. Walk to the back to find a private room and tucked all the way in the back is another bar in an outdoor patio setting. Seating was comfy with bamboo trees and the open night sky. BF and I had the nachos and edamame which was more than enough for two. Drinks were awesome, not sure on prices or happy hour but all in all wouldnt mind going there again. Heard the pizzas are good but after the pupus couldnt order anything more. Pictured is the Kalua Nachos

Grade A service and very friendly staff. Very good prices as well, especially when doing half off for food.

13 different homemade dipping sauces for your hot seasoned fries...enough said! The Kimchee Mayo frightens me but you cannot go wrong with Fresh Garlic Aioli or Miso Mayo. Live bands play every Thursday and there's an all day/night happy hour on Monday with decent happy hour times for the rest of the week (T-F: 4-9 pm & Sat: 6-10pm). DJs on the weekends. Cool hip vibe inside. I mean, who doesn't luv life-sized hipster cats gracing their walls.

One of the best bars in China Town; if you happen to visit, go to the back room Alex the bartender will take good care of you!

Great French Fries!

Nice pub/club but staff on the entrance not really. It doesn’t cost to behave just a little beat.

Very nice atmosphere. Staff is very accommodating. The vegetarian pizza and martinis were awesome!

Great atmosphere, very good drinks, and solid staff!!!

Great selection of beers and whiskey. Our bartender AJ was knowledgeable and super personable.

fun Chinatown bar in downtown Honolulu. big selection of craft beers and yummy cocktails. super chill for late night drinks and pau hana. perfect bar food bites like chicken nuggets (!) and flat bread pizzas.

This place has great food and affordable drinks if you go off there specials were fast with the food and had a pretty cool back room that was outside it was a little wet though.

I come for the pizzas and my friends come for the drinks. They have happy hour on Monday to Friday from 5pm - 6pm. The food specials are 25% off on any 2 regular pizzas and ​25% off for edamame or Euro fries. I recommend the "Sweet Bangkok" pizza. It's a thin crust cheese pizza topped with lup cheong (Chinese sausage), cilantro, and drizzled with sweet chili sauce. All their pizzas are thin crust and are great for sharing. If you work in downtown Honolulu, this is a good spot to come and hang out after work. The inside is dark and the couches don't look pretty but the pizza is good. I come when happy hour starts and I leave by 6:30pm so it's not crowded.

Every 2 Saturday of the month is reggae night. Music was Lit. security.. it top notch.. wait staff less than personable. but they were slammed. atmosphere two thumps up.

Great place to enjoy your drinks with friends, staff is super friendly, drinks are decently priced, but more importantly the place is chill

Open now with plenty of space for distancing, their standard huge beer list, and solid food made in-house. Definitely going back soon

Great bar, friendly service

Mininalsitic high end dive bar the kind of place you'd go if your avoiding a bounty hunter

(Translated by Google) 150527 Excellent atmosphere. (Original) 150527 雰囲気抜群。

Every 2nd Saturday the best

Food was good. Drinks were a bit odd. They had a ton of happy hour options for great prices, but every vodka drink was super sweet. I love beer but figuring out what beer was available was a lot of work. Seemed like they had 100 beers available but I ended up getting a Guinness because it was easier.

Place was packed great DJ, not too diverse but very nice crowd

Beer bar

Pretty chill place to go have a drink. I usually just skip the dance floor/club area and head straight for the outdoor lounge. The atmosphere is generally just people chillin in the couches. At peak times it’s packed and seats are hard to come by. However if you get there when it’s not so busy you’ll enjoy it. I’m not much into the “club” scene. My version of a good time is just having maybe one or two drinks and people watching.

Nice place.

Nice bar, good happy hour. Diverse clientele

Nothing great, but was nice

(Translated by Google) Yes sir! (Original) Si señor!

Great happy hour prices. Happy hour goes till 9pm. Excellent beer selection! Food was excellent. There is an outside area and a private room for a larger crowd

R and B and Rap are great to dance to... just not every single song, all night...

Nice and big. Got an outdoor patio.

Excellent fusion flat bread/pizza, delicious drinks free water, and good music! need I say more?

Great place to grab and drink. The pizza is soo good

Fun spot must visit

Nice music, videos and 🍻

Still a good hangout. Lost some luster... especially ladies room and outdoor lounge. Potential remains - bartenders are tops.

Great pizza
