The Republik — Restaurant in Honolulu

With every club there’s good and bad. It has great location and it’s a good sized venue. But there is no air conditioning and I feel like tickets get oversold so it’s constantly packed tight like sardines. Because of how many people are in there and the lack of A/C, it makes for a boiling hot event. On the other hand there are 4 bars, one is a cash bar. I’m pretty sure it’s a full bar and they can make most any drink. 18-20 year olds get X’s on their hands; 21 and above get a wristband and stamp. I’ve had many different experiences with the bartenders. Some are literally fantastic, and some will ignore you for 15 minutes while you beg for water. You won’t really find live bands here, it’s 90% DJ music. Which I prefer. Some performers are really famous and others are mid. There is security, but I really only see them when the venue is full with a potential for moshing. I have seen multiple people be dragged out. I’ve even been second hand victim with my own drink spilled all over my front, soaking my hair and shirt. The bathrooms are small and the womens restroom always has a line. There is a bathroom attendant. There is a little bit of seating, not much though. It’s mostly in the VIP. Be wary since there is no parking and you’ll have to find your own; I have yet to get a ticket. But I like this place overall and I go for the...

We went to the Republik to see BTSM during our trip to Hawaii. Headliner came on at midnight, not 10pm as another review had said.

They'd definitely painted the front and upscaled a little since the last set of pictures so I decided to write this review.

This show was a quaint home away from home rave scene. I can't say how it is for other types of shows, but for an edm show the community here could throw down. There were glovers and ravers and Kandi, a handful of bros but not many. The security was thorough, and tbh I would feel safer if they had the same security at some of the bigger shows and venues I've been to, so I give them mad props for that. The dudes at the door had a metal detector wand and everything. Security was actively looking out for people in trouble and did an amazing job.

It was a SMALL venue, which gave it those cozy vibes. There was no sitting room, whatsoever, and the crowd was a little thin that night, so it didn't feel packed. I would definitely recommend buying your tickets early online and not paying day of for tickets though.

The women's bathroom was clean and even had an attendant setup with body sprays and deodorants and things. Can't say if that there is every show, but it shows that they care.

It was a lot of fun to visit the Republik, and I would go back in a...

The Republik in Honolulu is a great venue for live music events. I had the chance to see Collie Buddz perform there, and it was an amazing experience. The drinks were priced at average Honolulu prices, so nothing out of the ordinary, but there was a good selection of beverages available.

One thing that stood out to me about The Republik was the spacious open layout of the venue. It allowed for a comfortable and enjoyable concert experience without feeling overcrowded or cramped. The stage was well-positioned, and the sound quality was excellent.

The bathrooms at The Republik were decent, not the most luxurious, but they served their purpose well. They were clean and well-maintained throughout the night, which is always a good thing.

Overall, I would highly recommend The Republik as a great place to catch a live music event in Honolulu. It's a spacious, well-designed venue with good sound quality, decent drinks, and satisfactory bathroom facilities. If you're in the area and looking for a good night out, I would definitely recommend checking out...
