No Big Thrill Anymore

I have to agree with the review right below me. Back in its old location, this placed rocked! I loved being outside under the stars on a warm Waikiki night. But something happened when they moved. Not only is there no outdoor area in the new location, but it just doesn't have the same fun, relaxed feel to it anymore. The strip shows are fine with me, but the crowd just doesn't seem very receptive to them. Hula's is worth a stop, but don't expect too much.

Hula's now a shadow of it's past

panda 52/T

Hula's current incarnation is now just a shadow of it's more glorious past when it was at it's old, much larger location. Their hired strippers are barely acceptable and hits up patrons for tips. It's much more pleasant to go in the afternoons when the daylight is coming into the bar and the music is more pleasant and lower volume and low keyed. At night, it's loud, blaring music. There's a couple of Macs or free wi-fi access.

the best gay bar there

endthebull 32/M

this bar war fair to say the least , better then the rest of the gay bars, but all this raaving about beautiful mean and hot bodies, its just false information. From the bartenders to the staff, they are fair at the most. lots of attitude, not enough beauty to back it up. I was sadly diappointed and you will be to.

Great views all around!

The sad part is Hulas hasnt been the same for a long time now. I know i can go there and have a good time and always run into an old friend or 4. I enjoy that. My problem with hulas is the cocktails. Horrible. Glad your choice of beer has expanded, it rings me back to you. Always good eye candy here, Expect some attitude from these "boys". They havent expanded into the men category yet. The music changes nightly, sometimes good sometimes bad. Like that they dont charge the locals the same price.

Hula's has been a favourite of mine since, well for a long long time, and although the setting has changed, Jack Law, Eric, Dell, Lionel, and the staff still represent that enduring sprit of Aloha. No matter where you're from or who you are when you walk into Hula's it's like you're with friends and family. Thanks Guys much Aloha Ari.

Not what it used to be

keoni 30/M

Skip this place. ATTITUDE AND POOR SERVICE small amount of customers and expensive without the quality. Hulas has never been the same since it moved in 1998.

great place for after the beach.

I enjoyed going to Hulas, after hanging out at Queens Surf beach. Very relaxed atmosphere and my friends enjoyed playing pool and mixing with the locals. However, the night crowd at Hulas tends to be unexciting but the gogo boys makes up for that. Enjoyed the big flowery drinks.

Very nice setting

BBUC 54/M

This is a cute bar, great setting, overlooks Kapiolani Park (Zoo) and to right the ocean. Its a very nice bar but if you like dancing the space is too tiny like most bars actually in Honolulu. Its actually for me better after a day at the beach (Queens Surf, across street) to share a drink with friends or meet someone new. My partiality is to the old Hula's Bar & Lei Stand formerly on Kuhio, since long gone. Greed and money changed all that. It had a banyon tree that spanded entire club, it was connected to other bars and Hamburger Mary's, also now gone. Anyone and everyone knew this place. It was my old stomping ground when I lived there in late 70's early 80's. Can I say if I were a zillionaire I would have saved this place. It was a treasure. It should have been protected.

THEY DON'T CALL IT A LEI STAND FOR NOTHING

IGOMOJO 30/M

HAD AN ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS TIME VISITING THIS BAR WITH INCREDIBLE VIEWS OF DIAMOND HEAD VOLCANO AND VERY HANDSOME,SHIRTLESS BARTENDERS.SINCE MY DELUXE STUDIO APARTMENT WITH TWO PRIVATE BALCONIES WAS LOCATED UPSTAIRS IN THE HOTEL WHERE HULA'S IS LOCATED, I WOULD OFTEN PICK UP YOUNG MEN FOR SEX AT THE LEI STAND AND TAKE THEM RIGHT UP TO MY ROOM. WHAT AN AWESOME LOCATION THIS IS. ALSO IT IS DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM KAPIOLANI PARK, WHICH CAN ALSO GET VERY CRUISY AFTERHOURS. THE PACIFIC OCEAN IS ONLY ONE BLOCK FROM HERE ON WAIKIKI BEACH. I DEFINITELY GIVE HULA'S BAR AND LEI STAND A STRONG RECOMMENDATION.
