Blues, Jazz entertainment in Hawaii

  1. A

    Jazz Minds Art & Cafe

    Intimate and subdued, this jazz lounge with almost a speakeasy ambience pulls in the city's best talent, ranging from big band and bebop to fiery salsa and cutting-edge minimalist. Just don't let all the Asian tourist-oriented strip clubs nearby turn you off.

    Happy Talk Lounge

    Enjoy the same (or better) views here as at the resort's more buttoned-up Bali Hai Restaurant. There's a tasty bar menu (around US$7 to around US$15) from 14:00 to 21:00, live jazz from 16:00 to 19:00 Sunday and Hawaiian music most other nights.

    Paradice Bluz

    The dark interior of this cool jazz house sports black leather couches and red brick walls hung with paintings of legendary jazz greats. The music is jazz, blues, funk and R&B, with most of the live action on Friday and Saturday nights.

    Lewers Lounge

    This sophisticated lounge is old-school Waikiki, with top-shelf, fresh-juice cocktails and smooth live jazz music.
