Lewers Lounge
Overall 9.5/10
Lowers Lounge consistently delivers one of the best cocktail experience in Hawaii, bar none.
Location: 9/10
Located in the heart of Waikiki, Hale Kulani is easily accessible with friendly valet service. It's also a short walk from the entrance.
Ambiance: 10/10
It doesn't get better than this. A quiet, elegant live Jazz bar gorgeous decor and perfect lighting. The smoky vocals are only matched in smoothness by the smoke rings cocktail.
Seating: 8.5/10
With bar, table, booth and chair seating, Lewers Lounge offers a nice, comfortable environment. Unfortunately not all seats give a view of the live jazz, but a majority do. Make sure to either show up early if you want good seats. The music starts at 830pm, but doors open at 7.
Drinks: 9/10
$24 for a premium, artisan crafted cocktail in Waikiki is a steal! In a town where bottle beer costs between $8 and $16, these drinks are an amazing value. The Smoke Rings drink is a solid entry if you enjoy an old fashioned. It wasn't the best smoke infused cocktail I've had, but it was very good. My wife's The Very Thought of You is their take on an espresso martini. She didn't like the squeeze of lemon they finish it off with, while I love it. Other than that, it was another strong effort. We've never had a bad drink here.
Food: N/A
Since they only offer light food options, we usually go to dinner after our drinks. The free mixed nuts they offer, however, are warm and slightly toasted. They are fantastic!
