Second-floor Kuhio Ave sports lounge that's plusher than the usual TV-wall dive. Dark wood, leather, one of the deepest whiskey shelves in the state. NFL Sunday Ticket, 6:30 AM Sunday opens, 7-hour weekday happy hour.
A second-floor Kuhio Ave sports lounge that's plusher than the usual TV-wall dive — dark wood, leather, and one of the deepest whiskey shelves in the state. NFL Sunday Ticket, 6:30 AM Sunday opens, AFL on request, and a 7-hour weekday happy hour with $4 wells. The wings get the best reviews; the door staff get the worst. Come for football and a whiskey flight, manage your expectations about the welcome.
Rivals sells itself as "Vegas by day, ultralounge by night" — dark woods, low lighting, leather seating, a wall of TVs angled so every booth has a sightline. A sports bar that thinks it's a cocktail lounge, with what the venue claims is "Hawaii's most extensive whiskey collection." The NFL Sunday Ticket is the headline draw, and the bar opens at 6:30 AM on Sundays for East Coast kickoff. Australian Rules Football and other international sports are accommodated on request.
$4 well during the 7-hour happy hour window — one of the longest happy-hour clocks in Waikiki.
