Smith's Union Bar
You have to be a dive-bar aficionado to appreciate Smith's Union, which first opened in 1935 when this section of Chinatown was a red-light district and playground for merchant seamen. For the wage-slave hipsters, it is a front-loading hangout before hitting the district's most recent incarnation: a trendy club zone.

thirtyninehotel
More arty than clubby, this multimedia space is a gallery by day and low-key dance scene at night. Guest DJs from the mainland don their aloha wear for special weekend appearances, while jazz tests the acoustics on Tuesday.

Tiki's Grill & Bar
At the top end of the ResortQuest Waikiki Beach Hotel, Tiki's Bar & Grill is a good place to enjoy a drink and pupu (snack), or catch live music in the afternoon and see out the day in style as the sun sets over nearby Waikiki Beach.

Zanzabar Nightclub
The kind of club that advertises on the radio, Zanzabar is flashy and slightly cheesy but strobe-light's good time nonetheless. Theme nights and karaoke fill the weekly schedule. Weekdays are 18 plus, weekends 21 plus.
