Honolulu packs the island's best happy hours into a few square miles — Kakaʻako's walkable crawl, Ala Moana lunch-to-late deals, Chinatown cocktail bars and Makiki dive bars. This page covers the city: full details for the spots outside the two deep-dive neighborhoods, plus short versions of our Waikiki and Kakaʻako guides so you can jump straight to them. Every deal lists days, times, prices and the month we confirmed it — nothing copied from menus or Google.
