The timeless standards, effortlessly produced by Maggie (piano and vocals) and Dean (stand up string bass), accompanied by the politely low volume conversations and the rattle from a shaker at the bar that precedes the pour of a perfect cocktail, evoke the vibe of NYC or SF’s best small club venues. Dress like an adult and take your energy level down to mellow so you can appreciate one of Honolulu’s true musical treasures.
Joined my great friends Nicholas & Allison for a late nite cap to celebrate their 13th wedding anniversary which they held their reception there 13 years ago 07.10.04!
As usual excellent service, very knowledgeable staff and excellent music from Tommy James.
Always a class act from the valets to the staff just walking by you.
I will always come back!
Wonderful!!. We went on a Monday night with the piano player (I should have got his name) - he was absolutely fantastic!!!!!!!!
It is a beautiful and relaxing place - a great way to end the day!
Classic Sophisticated Lounge. Classic sophisticated hotel lounge with live jazz music. Foie Gras was tender and Raw Plate was inventive. Martini's were perfectly prepared and Champagne was cold.
A great place to sit back, enjoy a wonderful cocktail and soak up the ambiance of Waikiki.
Best place for cocktails in Waikiki. Best place to start a night out in Waikiki. Perfect setting and service. Fantastic drinks.

I’m always down for a nightcap! We were staying at Halekulani and popped in before heading back to our room.
ATMOSPHERE:
The cozy lounge is the hotel’s lobby bar but is located in a separate building just off of the pool deck. Live jazz music is featured Tuesday through Saturday evenings. Decor is very warm with dark woods and ambient lighting. It’s a bit squishy inside as it isn’t a large space. Choose from bar and low top seating.
EXPERIENCE:
We had a short five minute wait on this particular Saturday night around 10pm as they were fairly busy.
I’ve always been drawn to jazz bars and Lewers Lounge did not disappoint. Ambiance, check. Drinks, check. Soothing, live singer, check.
The spouse and I enjoyed a glass of bubbly before calling it a night. Prices weren’t too eye popping.
The disappointment of the night? Me. I was so full and tired from our dinner prior to coming here, I was falling asleep! Ugh, still so mad about that.
Host & wait service were good.
OVERALL:
One of the few jazz lounges in the 808.
Great place my new wife and I frequented. Did not realize it was so fancy, as I was asked to take my hat off. No problem. Gets busy on the weekends, but mid-week it's perfect. My wife and I were the only ones there on Monday and Tuesday and the piano man and horn guy accommodated our song requests. Surprised not much other people were there. I definitely put on slacks and Hawaiian shirt the next day and felt dressed for the occasion. Nice first romantic finish to the evening, as my wife and I were the only ones dancing. The act the following day was not as good.
We love the lounge for many reasons, but mostly for listening to Maggie and/or Rocky when they are performing. The haupia cake and cocktails are great, but apparently you can’t get the cake after ten. The dress code is much more relaxed except that you still can’t wear nice sandals. This seems strange in that several patrons were in jeans and sneakers, which seems far worse than wearing designer sandals with a buttoned shirt and slacks.
If you're looking for an upscale and relaxing environment in Waikiki this is the spot for you. Playing jazz each night with great cocktails and snacks.
The atmosphere is very chill and they usually require nice clothing.
How cool is this place!!! Classic jazz standards, no cover, beautiful room, cocktails and nightly jazz in a spectacular setting...very very special place
What an amazing place. Outstanding live music, great environment. Wing is an outstanding bartender and person in general. We came back twice during a 4 day stay and truly enjoyed our visits here. Highly recommended.
Great vibe and live music. intimate low light setting, perfect for a mature date night. Not a loud dance club
Great place for tea in the afternoon and evening live music 🎶 with pianist and sax player and drinks .
Indescribable place! Wonderful jazz with Rocky and Ethan on Thursday. Fantastic atmosphere. Love everything about this place. Prepare to be wowed!
Expected and was glad to find strong, delicious drinks, great nibbles and outstanding music. Was pleasantly surprised by the comfortable, local vibe. A rarity on Waikiki; especially within a premier resort. Can’t wait to get back!
