The Hilo Town Tavern is Hilo's answer to the classic dive bar. The full bar with local beers on tap can make just about anything a guest could want, but don't expect anything too fancy or gourmet. There's always an equal blend in here of college students, locals, regulars and visitors. Open mic happens every Tuesday night with no cover charge.
A porch area provides space and fresh air, while a pool table and game room a big draw for a lot of people. The menu has standard bar food offerings but with a local twist. Live music happens most nights of the week, with official concerts - booked popular bands - taking place also. Look around town for flyers or call to find out about those. A dance floor happens most nights of the week, and patrons can feel free to let loose on it.

- Best Nightlife, Live Music: "Open mic is always fun and happens on Tuesday nights."
- Recommended as Best Nightlife Because: Hilo Town Tavern is the east side's answer to the quintessential dive bar, but offers live music and dancing.
