About this place In Between

In Between is a compact gay bar tucked onto Lauula Street, the narrow corridor running between Kalakaua and Kuhio in Waikiki. It’s a dedicated LGBTQ+ spot that’s been around for a while, relying on word of mouth rather than marketing. Karaoke is the main draw here. The room is small, so it’s built for conversation and singing, not dancing. You’ll find a mix of locals and visitors, but the vibe stays intimate because of the limited space. Hours shift with the day. Weekdays start at 14:00, while weekends kick off at noon. The place runs until 02:00. Late afternoons are quiet, so if you want the energy, wait until after dark when the karaoke sets really begin. Google reviews sit at 4.5 from over 500 ratings. If you want more options, Hula and other Waikiki gay bars are just a short walk away.

Great little place tugged in an alley. Kareoke all day long. It was a lot of fun!! $1 per song and their drinks are strong and great value. Highly recommend it.

Very friendly bar service. It's a bit small and somewhat cramped but that's part of the "charm" for this place with nonstop? karaoke. Reasonable drink prices.

Waited patiently for an hour + for my song all whilst ordering drinks at the bar. Sang my song and the bartender made fun of me in the mic and made a rude comment about my performance. Left feeling not so great about it all. Was having fun until then. Bummer

Super place, Some random guy might try to check your ID with a Walmart bag beside another shopping bag under his feet. Asking him who are you, (assuming he’s stranger coming from shopping, tipsy and mocking me) why shall I show my ID to stranger, he says go off, leave.. My wife and I left, kamaaina also.. Super cool, keep your door men with their shopping bags, no worries we’re also bags, as you treat.. Heavy but sorry, had to be!
