Dragon Upstairs — Restaurant in Honolulu

This bar has a jazz New Orleans feel to it and the location makes you feel like you're in an exclusive bar upstairs away from the street. If you come at the right time you can see the live band play some great music while you relax with your friends. When there is a band make sure to bring something for them. The bar has a cover charge when a live band is playing. Its not a lot and its supporting the local talent.

A few negatives though. The bar is upstairs so that hinders handy capable people or people not very good with stairs. The bathrooms are small and only meant for one person at a time. Male and female bathrooms. If you want or care about beer on tap, they don't have any. But they do have bottles and an good assortment of liquors.

Both a negative and a positive, there is a good amount of parking down the street. but it is paid parking. So keep that in your budget or get a ride.

But I would definitely recommend this bar. But I like the grunge New Orleans...

Truly a jazzy little gem of Honolulu. I visited for the first time for a group of artists from Philadelphia (friends were playing) and I was swept away with the whole vibe of the place. It really attracts those people who enjoy an authentic and cultured experience. I think they do a weekly hip hop night too which I got to catch a glimpse of some freestyling, which was beautiful watching each artist flow together with the music. Highly recommend. Smaller liquor selection and it is an intimate venue but it's surely worth...

We just happened upon this while in Chinatown and walked upstairs into a whole different world. Came on a Saturday about 6pm. This is one of the coolest venues I've ever been to. The decor is amazing (sort of a vintage Chinese-Japanese I think) and the live music (piano and singing and a guest trumpet player from Japan) was so fabulous. I ordered a wine and assumed the wine would be bad but it was actually very good. Most highly recommend this...
