EP bar — Restaurant in Honolulu

Favorite bar! Coolest vibes ever. Definitely a small space, so I felt lucky to get some time here on my birthday without a reservation for a little bit right when they first opened. (REGULARLY I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND MAKING A RESERVATION) Can tell staff is very knowledgeable. To drink my boyfriend and I shared the Heart of Glass (VERY pretty drink, tasted much better than I anticipated. It was nice to see the care the bartender made this one with w/ the flower petals…) and the Kyoto Matcha IPA (very green lol… as grassy tasting as you’d expect, but the exaggerated food coloring is a bit of a turn off for me here).

You could tell the staff genuinely enjoyed working together, which made the experience even better. It’s rare to find a place that feels this welcoming, and I’m so happy I found this hidden gem. I’ll...

Met some friends here for a drink on a quick 72 hr trip to Honolulu. The bar itself is in a non descript area but that is far from the establishment itself. They have a wall of vinyl where they play a wonderful assortment of music on McIntosh players. An impressive assortment of whisky and other drinks are also on display but the best part is picking which one you would like to drink.

Reservations are a must. The place is intimate and laid back. If you don't book ahead of time you likely won't get a seat. Fortunately parking there was no problem.

The EP's speakeasy vibe was overall great. I would highly recommend making a stop here if you want a grab a drink and...
