About this place Tapas Restaurant and Lanai Bar

Tapas Restaurant and Lanai Bar sits on the second floor of a building on Seaside Avenue in Waikiki, Honolulu. It’s a gay bar and restaurant, but don’t expect a dance floor. The crowd is relaxed and chatty, mixing locals with visitors. The kitchen serves tapas-style plates. If the night is warm, the lanai—a covered terrace—is where you want to be. Google reviewers give it a 4.3 rating across roughly 135 reviews. For Waikiki, the drink prices are reasonable. Doors open daily at 4pm, closing at 1:30am. Early evening is the easy time to drop in; happy-hour drinks and dinner keep the vibe low-key. It fills up after 10pm. Look for the stairs. The street-level entrance is easy to miss.

Using Ai to generate gay men for their social media, then filtering comments when called out. The purpose of a gay bar is to welcome individuality and promote inclusivity; we want a safe space to not feel judged or pressured to look or act a certain way. Their Ai images do the exact opposite. Do better. Maybe use Ai on your food? I wouldn’t feed that to my dog.

Very welcoming, and friendly. Place is a bit small and on a Saturday night was pretty much dead. Still always nice to have a safe place tho.
