Nobody’s gonna put a lei around your neck or sing “Don Ho” to you at this dive in Honolulu, because it’s where the locals go when they stop pretending paradise is all ukuleles and coconut bras. Paradise, here, is a dark shack with a gigantic wraparound bar that takes up 80% of the area, super-stiff drinks, and a ton of beautiful people cutting loose with Cinnamon Toast Crunch-flavored shots. Enough of those suckers, and you might lei-ed after all. Or laid-out by the dude whose girlfriend you keep calling “Don Ho”.

There are hundreds of dive bars that use the word “hideaway” willy-nilly. This is not one of those places. It’s in a Waikiki alleyway between a Vietnamese joint and a 7-Eleven, and keeps hours nearly as long as the former (6am-2am). Most light comes from the jukebox and the arcade games, and while the bar caters largely to locals, visitors are known to wander in without disrupting the habitat, if only for a break from the sun. This is especially likely during the legendary power hour, where $2 wells and beers are the weapon of choice from 6-7pm, especially if you’re looking to say “aloha” to your day… whether that’s hello or goodbye is a matter of personal choice. Regardless, worry not. You’re hidden.
