Chinatown haunt with a huge beer selection

Tipple of choice: Indulge in a pint of Lindemans framboise lambic, a Belgian fruit beer made with raspberries.

Located along North Hotel Street at the heart of the rejuvenated bar scene in downtown Honolulu, Bar 35 is always packed with a good mix of people. Weekend nights tend to draw a more trendy crowd looking to dance, while weekday evenings exude a relaxed vibe.

The dimly lit interior is like an artist's loft, with exposed brick and deep red walls; a perfect environment for enjoying a live band or DJ, or sampling domestic and international beers from the list of over 150 labels. On Wednesdays, guests can sample a selection of eight brews during the weekly tasting session.
