The lobby bar of Hilton Waikiki Beach on Kuhio. Free live music nightly 7-10 PM. Food from the legendary MAC 24/7 kitchen. A giant 146-inch Samsung 'The Wall' LED.
LBLE is the hidden lobby-bar pick on the Kuhio side of Waikiki — free live music every night, food coming straight from the legendary MAC 24/7 kitchen, and a 146-inch Samsung Wall LED that turns the room into a low-key spectacle. It's not late-night (closes 10 PM) and it's not oceanfront, but for the 5-9 PM happy-hour-into-music window it's one of the better hotel lobby bars in town.
"Lobby Bar Libations Extraordinaire" — the lobby bar of the Hilton Waikiki Beach on Kuhio Avenue, just back from the beach in the Kuhio corridor. The room is built around two things: a 146-inch Samsung "The Wall" LED screen (reported as the largest in Hawaii at install) and free live music nightly from 7 to 10 PM. Food comes directly from the hotel's MAC 24/7 kitchen, so you get a real menu rather than reheated hotel pupus, with "fresh local ingredients" framing the cocktail and small-plate program. The 5-7 PM happy hour pushes pricing into reasonable range, though regulars note the discounts are modest.
$7 sparkling wine during 5-7 PM HH — modest deal but bubbles are the best-priced item on the menu.
Nightly free live music, the giant Samsung Wall LED screen, food coming from MAC 24/7, lobby bar that feels like more than a lobby bar.
7:00 PM – 9:00 PM weeknights — happy hour overlaps the first hour of live music.
