Great beer, good food, and a view of the sunset over the water is what can be had at the Gordon Biersch Brewery in Honolulu. A nightlife spot that usually includes live music, dinner and drinks, the brewery is a perfect place to start off the night before venturing deeper into the Honolulu nightlife scene.

This is a great spot for group celebrations or to pre-party before diving into a Honolulu nightclub. Whether single or with a crew, you can easily meet new people and socialize here in the usually packed bar run by friendly bartenders.

Happy hour happens here Monday through Wednesday from 4 to 6:30 pm, when they offer great deals on beer, drinks, and select food items. Wednesdays at the brewery are known as "Jazz Wednesdays," and various other live music acts play through Saturdays. Large flat-screen televisions offer sports depending on the season, and Fridays and Saturdays usually offer DJ's or some sort of music to really get the dance floor grooving.

The brewery is usually pretty casual, but you'll also fit in if dressing up for fun. If you can arrive before sunset, you'll be treated to one of the best views around.
