About this place Velvet Nightclub

Velvet is an LGBTQ+ nightclub on Kapiolani Boulevard, between Ala Moana and downtown Honolulu, up on the second floor (Suite 201). It is a dance club with DJs rather than a quiet bar, and it rates 4.7 across about 150 reviews. That score is high for a nightclub. It is outside Waikiki, where most of Honolulu's other gay bars are, so you'll need a short taxi or bus ride from the beach hotels. We have no reliable hours on file. Clubs like this usually open only on certain nights, so check velvethawaii.com before going.

Bouncer wouldn’t accept my wife’s real id. Said it’s too small and whoever made it did a bad job. She was so excited to go to this place and this guy didn’t even think we are 18. We are 22. Man bun bouncer loves using the tiny power he has in this world.
