This place was awesome. The staff was awesome, the food was awesome and the piňa coladas were out of this world. The atmosphere was also great. They had a singer/guitarist that was interactive with the patrons and he was great.

One of the best little hidden lounges for some of the best drinks and small charcuterie boards I've had in Waikiki! Every drink ive had had been incredibly well made. Emma, Victoria, Krista, and Katie are some of the best and attentive bartenders I've encountered and they bring such a chill, inviting vibe to the lounge. And they're open till 2am! Definitely one of my go to spots while In Waikiki. My "night cap" spot!
