        Cool:

        Aku Bone Lounge & Grill on Kona St.
        Brew Moon Ward & Waikiki (above Local Motion)
        Ciao Mein Hyatt Regency Waikiki
        Mai Tai Bar Ala Moana
        Dirty Lickins Chicken in Aiea
        Kanack Attack on Nimitz
        Okole Maluna Lounge (bottom's up) in Hawaii Kai - owned by the late Robert "Lucky" Luck; closed LONG ago

        Humorous/odd (or you might think cool):

        Two of the funniest hostess bar names I've seen in Honolulu (not been to, just drive past) were Club Ugly and Club I'm Not Gonna' Tell Your Momma (implying a cheating spouse?). lol

        Hamburger Mary's Waikiki (closed long ago)

        So Gong Dong Korean Restaurant, relocated from across Heald College to McCully Shopping Center.

        I always chuckle when passing by PHO MAI on King St.

          that place was the coolest. too bad knock down the last old block of waikiki. was watching footage of waiks from a few decades ago... just raw footage of strolling along kalakakua. the place was so much cooler then. had a real sense of place. the catchphrase they missapply NOW when they try justify tearing down lewers and erecting high end condotels.

            That's sad, k. There was also a Hamburger Mary's in Seattle a few years back, but it wasn't anything special (from my perspective - sorry if it was someone else's favorite.)

                Hamburger Mary's!!!

                My old band (we called ourselves Mixed Plate) had one of our first shows there. We were hired by someone named Greg. When we got there, Greg showed up in drag as Tina. Well, being naive to the whole scene, and being excited to be playing, we kept thanking Greg for having us there!!! By the end he was one Mad MAHU!!!! LOL....Good Times......

                  When I was in college in the late-80s. Northern CA bar: The Beauty Saloon. The kitsch was all about the 50's-Eisenhower-America Beauty parlor vibe.

                        Many cities have bars called "The Library." Good place for some late-into-the-night research.

                          Used to have that hostess bar Club New Office on Kapiolani, now it's Club Niagara.

                          Either way, just stepping in there makes me want to take a flea bath.

                          Hear the crowd roar to your sound
                          Don't blame us if we ever doubt you
                          You know we couldn't live without you

                            The old Hawaiian Regent Hotel (now Marriott) had a lounge named THE LIBRARY.

                            Hilo had both SMILE INN and DROP INN during the old days. They were legendary for their pupus.

                              The coolest/oddest name for a restaurant that I've ever come across was one in Brooklyn, NY called "The Chinese Chile". It was a hole-in-the-wall Chinese/Mexican/Cuban place in the early 1970's. Never went in there to try it out because at the time, the combo of ethnicities seemed too weird. If I ever came across another restaurant like that now, I'd probably want to go in and taste the food. With age, comes a change in one's palate.

                                You gotta love Ciao Mein, that Italian/Chinese restaurant in Waikiki.
