ALA MOANA. From high on the 36th floor, guests are treated to stunning views of the city – both at dinner and afterwards. After partaking of great steaks, chops, and seafood, folks take to the dance floor and while the night away with great music, played live nightly. A menu of appetizers is served until late, and the wine list is substantial. Frequented by an upscale crowd, Aaron's makes it easy to move from dinner to evening entertainment with minimal effort. Non-dining patrons are also welcomed.

MOILIILI. For more than a generation, this much-loved establishment has offered patrons an eclectic mix of terrific music. The decor isn't at all chic, and the clientele consists largely of college students and regulars who come to kick back and take in the soulful sounds of rock and blues. Bands are largely local, and performers aren't afraid to take chances with their style, so come and be part of the ambience and get a taste of real Hawaii. Good happy hour deals too.

WAIKIKI. Set right along Waikiki Beach, this open-air bar offers the best of Hawaii, from balmy temperatures and gentle sea breezes to views of Diamond Head in the distance and terrific people-watching as well. In the evenings, as the sun begins to set, folks gather for live music – both guitar and piano – and for hula dancing in the authentic manner. The combination of delights is a real sensory feast and an experience you won't soon forget.

DOWNTOWN. Offering both indoor and outdoor dining amid lush greenery, this much-loved place makes regulars of all its guests thanks to delicious food and a superb live music line-up. The cuisine springs from Thai traditions but expands greatly, thanks to Hawaiian ingredients and the chef's boundless innovation. For example, you'll find crispy soft-shell crabs with chili-miso beurre blanc, oven-roasted breast of rabbit with plum wine demiglace, and Asian-style osso bucco. Dishes are visually gorgeous as well, and island musicians provide contemporary Hawaiian music, jazz, and acoustic tunes throughout the evening.

DOWNTOWN. Tropical decor and memorabilia distinguish this restaurant and bar, which honors Honolulu-born entertainer Don Ho. Set on the water at Aloha Tower, the club enjoys a reputation for great views, tasty fare, and wonderful Hawaiian music. Played Sunday to Wednesday, the traditional stylings make a great accompaniment to mai tais and pupus (appetizers). Although the music schedule varies, you can always count on great tunes. Plus, Thursday is reggae night, live performers hit the stage on Friday, and patrons kick up their collective heels at Saturday's disco beach party.

WAIKIKI. Bringing the spirit of the Emerald Isle to the Aloha State, this lively pub and music venue provides all the trappings of the luck o' the Irish. Pints of Guinness are easy to come by; knock one back as you take in raucous performances of Celtic music, rock, and acoustic tunes that reverberate loudly through the small, square space. Music can be heard most nights of the week, so kick back with a beer and a beef cottage pie or a basket of fish and chips and enjoy the show.

HONOLULU. Secreted away near the airport, just off the water, this venerable establishment is a bit off the beaten path but well worth finding for its incredible ambience. Harkening back to past days, the place has a nautical, tropical feel, complete with shell accents, glass fishing floats, and wicker furnishings. It's a fabulous hideout if you want to dance outdoors beneath arching trees, enjoy a pianist's melodies, or sing along with regulars to time-tested island tunes. The menu offers seafood, steaks, and other standards.

WAIKIKI. Casual and boisterous – not to mention a favorite of the college crowd – this hopping venue accommodates all who wish to drink and make merry. It's always loud, and folks are intent on having a good time, which isn't hard to do, given the variety of entertainments. Dancing's on tap if you want to groove, and DJs spin the best mixes of rock and top 40. Live bands also play island-style music, and drink specials ensure that there's plenty of booze for everyone. Great fun all around.
