Nightlife

It's hard to go wrong spending the day tanning on the beaches of Waikiki, then visiting one of Hawaii's clubs at night.

Honolulu's club scene is laid-back with a relaxed dress code in most cases, and the door staff is friendly and usually knows everyone in the club.

The clubs really get started around midnight, so if you want a seat, be sure to get there early. If not, this is a great opportunity to meet fellow club-goers while waiting in line.

Most clubs are located a few blocks from Waikiki beach so it's best to take a quick taxi ride from the major hotels. The legal drinking age in Hawaii is 21 years old. Don’t expect to get served without a valid form of identification.
