    This is a very authentic Hawaiian dive bar. Frequently there's live music, and there are almost never any tourists. They have pool tables and good drinks, but I was a little disappointed the drinks weren't a bit cheaper. You will definitely save money over the tourist traps. But maybe not as much as some of the happy hour deals at the international marketplace for example.

    Gotta let the world know about this place.. Lulu's Mexican Grill is serving very authentic south of the border cuisine, too. Awesome local rock, blues, folk, jazz, raggae, and open mic(tuesday), for the brave and aspiring musician, too. Level pool tables, straight cues, friendly crowd in a sleepy neighborhood. A stones throw from world famous Waikiki Beach. Sadly, tourists don't even know about it...usually stumbling on to OnStage Drinks And Grinds, while venturing outside of the tinsel, and safety net, of the Waikiki bubble. Get brave and find the real fun. I should know because I've been playing there for years. Dave and Lina's 'Blues Wednesday', and Pau Hana Blues Mondays, cover the legendary greats from yesteryear. Verry authentic and noticeably impressive level of blues cats in Honolulu. (Kapahulu...I should say).

    Looks like a dive from the outside, but...yep you were right, it's a dive, which is what I love about it. 2 pool tables, Hell Yeah! And there both straight. The only thing I don't like is that everyone there plays bank the eight.

👍👍 The best beer selection of any brewery on the island, in my opinion. IPAs, lagers, pilsners, and porters all have really good flavor. I guess that's all that matters being a brewery because the food seems to be hit or miss. The burger was great, but not much flavor on yhe calamari. Prices seem a lit...
