It's been a while since I visited Bar 35. Sat at the bar with friends and had a wonderful time. It has a live entertainer (a singer) tonight and he was awesome! Had the pork belly and Brussels sprouts--both were delish! Will definitely go back more often!
Way more beer selections than you see anywhere else. And quality beer (Duvel, Chimey, Founder's) and all the local beer (maui, kona, lanai, Aloha, waikiki), and organized by all the varieties (lagers, ipa, sours, stouts, anvers...). My new go-to local chinatown/downtown bar.
The food is also awesome! Great selection of flatbreads and pupus! The live music is also a huge plus! And they have private rooms for larger parties!
When this bar first opened, it must've had the most expansive beer selection in the state. I still think it boasts a pretty large selection of beers to try. What's more, they have a nice selection of pizzas to snack on while imbibing the various bottles of beer available.
The location of the bar is convenient for downtown office workers to grab an after work drink. But, it's a great hangout for those coming into Chinatown as well. The area has improved a bit in the last decade due to the recent gentrification that's been taking place.
Visited this place about a year ago! Clientele from 20 up to 60. Great vibes , amazing service ! I loved to sit on the patio with all the girls .
13 different homemade dipping sauces for your hot seasoned fries...enough said! The Kimchee Mayo frightens me but you cannot go wrong with Fresh Garlic Aioli or Miso Mayo.
Live bands play every Thursday and there's an all day/night happy hour on Monday with decent happy hour times for the rest of the week (T-F: 4-9 pm & Sat: 6-10pm). DJs on the weekends.
Cool hip vibe inside. I mean, who doesn't luv life-sized hipster cats gracing their walls.
Happened upon this bar. Excellent service. Clean and well organized. Great servers. Nice outdoor patio. Well worth a visit or 10!!!
Really nice clean place. Like the cleanest bar I have seen in Oahu. Gretchen is fantastic and I will back around 4pm again.

First time here and very surprised how spacious it was, mind you it was around 8pm on a Friday night. They have open layout with bar seating and high tables to hang around, no seats in the front area. Walk to the back to find a private room and tucked all the way in the back is another bar in an outdoor patio setting. Seating was comfy with bamboo trees and the open night sky. BF and I had the nachos and edamame which was more than enough for two. Drinks were awesome, not sure on prices or happy hour but all in all wouldnt mind going there again. Heard the pizzas are good but after the pupus couldnt order anything more. Pictured is the Kalua Nachos
Monday All Day Happy Hour? My roommate and I decided that we weren't going to make it through the day without a drink. The Hanger One Vodka martini was on point! And the okonomiyaki french fries delicious 😋
Staff was friendly & service great. Might be different on a busy night.
Super fun! Super hot! I definitely wish there was a better A/C lol
Lead bartender was super awesome and attentive. Food was delicious and service in general was great (with good happy hour specials). Good chill spot to hang out - only hung out at bar, did not go to patio.

Good beer selection, non-draft that it's. I think like 5 taps for the draft selection. Decent pricing for the beers. We've visited a few times now and the draft menu seems to rotate a steady variety of beers.
Food here is better than expected especially for bar food. The lumpia is good. The wings are good too. Ordered twice baked. Pizza is nice too. Really thin crispy crust and it all had good flavor.
There's a couple tables and a decent length bar. There's another bar in the rear that's outdoors work seating and another area indoors for seating with more tables.
Service is good but when it gets busy the servers are not set up to handle the work load causing waits to build up but I guess it is expected all considering. Aside from that they are very friendly and helpful. If you're trying to come on the weekend get there early because not only will you hit a cover charge after a certain hour but you will also find yourself standing and not at a table.
They've got a DJ that starts at like 9 and typically plays a variety of music trying to please the whole crowd. Lots of dancing and drunken drink spilling going on on the dance floor area.
The men's bathroom is useable and I don't recall the wife complaining about the women's one, so must be acceptable as well.
Parking is strictly street and paid city parking lots so be prepared for that. You may be hunting for a spot for a hot minute if you get to town too late. There are a bunch of bars and eateries all around this area so it's usually pretty poppin' especially on Friday night and the weekends but we tend too have a good time and might out when we come here.
Really enjoyed our night here. The staff was friendly and helpful. The doorman was even polite which is rare at bars/nightclubs. The patio out back was the best with good music and drinks. Get there early for a comfy seat! This is definitely the best bar in Chinatown.
Pretty good place to chill. Always go there to pregame on Fridays. Fun on the inside cause it's a nice Dancey vibe. On the outside it's pretty chill too but feels like your hanging out at a sauna.
It was a cool lounge spot in Chinatown before the vaccine mandate. Friendly staff. Decent beer selection but overpriced ($6-$13 for a single beer). Especially if you like craft beers. Mixed drinks aren't all that great though, just average and overpriced too. The lines get really long on Fridays and Saturdays so beware. Come early around 8:30pm or earlier unless you want to wait in line for 30+min. Gonna miss being able to come and go without being required to Vax. Hope they don't lose too much business and shutdown. :/
Food was good. Drinks were a bit odd. They had a ton of happy hour options for great prices, but every vodka drink was super sweet. I love beer but figuring out what beer was available was a lot of work. Seemed like they had 100 beers available but I ended up getting a Guinness because it was easier.
