If you're coming to Hawaii looking for more in the way of nightlife than just someone strumming a ukulele at a beach bar, then head for Waikiki, where there are plenty of bars restaurants and nightclubs catering for tourists. The action tends to start in the area around the Hilton Hawaiian Village hotel, where you will find a range of bars and clubs to cater to every kind of music and fun.
Along Kuhio street, in the city, you will find the body conscious nexus of gay nightlife on the islands, where the bars play loud dance music until the early hours of the morning.
