yelp 365 challenge #83/365
i have to say...
i didn't want to write this review...
because i didn't want everyone taking over this new gem that i found...
but yelp is about sharing...
so i'm going to share.
:D
this is a difficult place to find...
i had to gps it...still couldn't find it...
went around the block a few times and still passed it...
finally had to call the place and get directions...
and still had a lil difficulty.
FiNALLY i found the place.
my crown is $6 a pop :(
so normally i wouldn't visit this place often...
BUT!
mama seriously does hook it up....
with the LOAD of yummy food...
not just pupus
BUT FOOD...
meat jun, fish cakes, fries, eggs, noodles....
for how much?!
nada.
she has a menu posted up...but no one orders from there...
no one needs to.
yes, i read the reviews about food, but i figured that would be reserved for her regulars...
but we were there for the first time and she just loaded us up!
LOVE IT!
it has a bit of a dive feel.
i like it.
two dartboards, two pool tables, a jukebox, megatouch, and singing...
there is the load of singing :)
the patrons here sing "i love this bar"
and after being there once, you will too!!!Listed in: yeLp 365 challenge, thirsty?

You gots to be into neighborhood/dive bars OR in the mood to be somewhere "inconspicuous" definitely not part of the "scene" like MaiTais or The Shack which there is nothing wrong with those places but you know there are times when you 'ono for some fried aku and there are times when you 'ono for some egg rolls...you try and figure that analogy out...
It was cool, kinda nostalgic and the regulars there reminded me little bit of the kine older people laid back "aunty" and "uncle" kine. There was a small bar with bar stools, a couple of pool tables, juke box, monitors for karaoke and a few long luau tables. Laid back atmosphere. One of highlights is the women's bathroom, clean and decent...not at all like how you would expect a neighborhood bar bathroom would look like or smell like.
Location is a plus for me because I live close by. Convenient and fun, so if you live in the area: "don't be shy, give it a try..." -

Finding a good hang out on a Friday night (besides the mall and Starbucks) lead me to this gem of a place that's located in Kaimuki town. Right along 9th Avenue and Waialae Avenues, this place is located in the back of Town restaurant. This place has a good vibe and I am glad I could stop by. If I got hammered, I could just walk back home to get sober (I didn't). It's definitely a whole in the wall business, if you are not looking for it, especially when its nestled in Kaimuki town, where most of Kaimuki is basically a residential subdivision.
I stepped into this place, but it had that vibe that makes me want to stay and just hang out. Love the casual atmosphere, without having to be a full on bar scene. This is probably the half way point I was desiring between restaurant / bar to full on bar - at least that's how I viewed it. The owner is nice and inviting. This place has good food and the prices are reasonable! I felt comfortable in this place, and that's what made it fun. I am glad I got to be here and I am grateful that they are in Kaimuki town and I live nearby, so the parking situation can be a non-issue. For you who drive, the most you can do is just find parking along the side streets. Good luck with that though. Its kind of a challenge, but it will be well worth it.I enjoyed the free pupus, so that awesome. They open to 2am, so I could hang out there more if I wasn't traveling so much. But it is what it is. I'll be back!
The pricing was comparable to where I have been, and they do go the extra mile for you when you want a specific drink. They have a full bar and have most imports. The pool table scene can be outrageous, but it's all in good fun. I just like to people watch sometime, without really thinking about problems at work and errands I need to do in the coming days. It's just nice to get away for a while and fill your brain with liquid dreams.

Review from Scott K.
Aloha Lounge, located on the back side of Town Restaurant in Kaimuki. Its your typical neighborhood "local" bar with pool tables, darts, karaoke and alcohol.
I had some crazy nights here as my friends are "regulars" here since they live so close. Aunty is great and she is always willing to cook up some pupu's for you to eat. It's funny how you can end up here after dinner and still eat more.
The beer is cheap, Karaoke is $1 but its the company that you surround yourself with that makes it fun. -

Gooood grinds...fo-real...a must try dive bar! Never mind what people say try this place!
its a straight up dive bar, hole in the wall but a great find!
ok so they don't have all the beer and liquor you would want and its not a fully stocked bar but they know how to treat customers! We were given free pupus and that was a plus! They even went out to get the drink i requested. They went above and beyond to make us happy and that's what counts, businesses should be all like this! -

Mama always hooks it up over here. free pupu's, friendly people- never seen a fight break out here. pool tables are fast, bar size..touch screen juke box, karaoke, and if you come on the right day you might get some fresh fish caught, cleaned and cooked by the local fisherman. free. stop by on fridays if ur around my age (22) to start off the night, or to wind down after a crazy one. open till 2 ;)

Went there for the 1st time last night. My boyfriend and I have been wanting to check this place out for a while--we've heard quite a few different things about this place and know several people who frequent here. (And we live nearby.)
This place isn't the easiest place to find. It's behind Town, next to a hair salon on 9th and Waialae. Parking is scanty, but we didn't need to drive. ...So "yay" for that.
Aloha Lounge is bigger than I thought. It fits 2 pool tables, a pretty decent-sized bar, a kitchen, and a good amount of tables and chairs.
The owner is Olivia Mama. And for a Mama, she is so down-to-Earth and nice! I mean, she must be because she has a lot of regular house-customers.
We were so fortunate to sample the cooked fish last night. It was uber tasty and *moist* (that's a nasty word, sorry). I don't remember what kind of fish she said it was, but it was GOOD.
Now that I've actually gotten a chance to sample this place, I'm hooked.
Stay tuned for my update :)Listed in: Get your drink on, Feelin' Fishy

parking around this place wasn't easy. The place was so-so.
