4 Best Nightlife in Chinatown, Honolulu and Pearl Harbor

Although this bar serves good Mexican-inspired food (try the pork carnitas burrito), it's best known for its impressive drinks menu featuring more than 50 varieties of tequila and mezcal. You can also get wine and canned beer.

The drinks and rotating beers on tap at this Irish, Cheers-like bar are reasonably priced by Honolulu standards, and its menu of New York–style pizzas, both classic and inventive, is a crowd-pleaser, too.

With exposed red brick, big skylights, and rotating exhibitions of work by local photographers and painters, The Manifest has an artist’s loft feel to it. It's a café by day and a cocktail bar and night club by night, so it serves a good cup of joe as well as quality cocktails.

This chill bar gets its name from the Chinese expression “qing, qing” (which means “please please”), often used as a toast; soldiers returning from the Chinese Opium Wars introduced it in France and throughout Europe. With an extensive wine menu—by the glass and the bottle—plus a selection of single malt bourbon, whiskey, and scotch, it's an ideal spot for a drink or tapas-style food. The bar’s rooftop lanai is the best place to sit, romantically lit with string lights and featuring a large living wall flourishing with ferns.
