They
say that in Oahu, the fun heats up when sun goes down.
Rightly so, as Oahu stays alive well into the night and
offers a menu of offerings and choices to its visitors
- from crowd-pleasing dinner shows and nightclubs to symphony
performances and sporting events, from cocktail and dinner
cruises to just a romantic stroll on the beach or a tropical
garden. Oahu has everything to make your nights memorable.
Waikiki
is the center of the action. When the sun goes down, Kalakaua
and Kuhio Avenues come alive with visitors searching for
restaurants, bars, clubs, and revues, or just wandering
around in the glitzy spirit of it all. You can dance at
the clubs and bars to the best of Hawaiian contemporary
music, or warble oldies but goodies in a karaoke bar.
For the more adventurous, there are gentlemen’s
clubs, strip bars, hostess clubs, and after hours clubs.
Many hotels and luaus of Waikiki offer free hula shows.
Waikiki Shell, a unique outdoor concert venue near Kapiolani
Park, offers special events almost every night.
Two
favorite night spots for locals as well as visitors in
Downtown Honolulu are Restaurant Row and the Aloha Tower
Marketplace. Restaurant Row is a complex of restaurants
where you can find all kinds of cuisines, whether it’s
Eastern or Western, or just local. The Aloha Tower Marketplace
is a shopping complex with a variety of shops which light
up at nights. Another favorite here is Dave & Busters,
an entertainment center/sports bar/restaurant.
The
historic Hawaii Theater in Honolulu hosts a wide variety
of shows throughout the year, including local theater
performances, the Hawaii International Jazz Festival and
the popular "Merry Christmas with Friends and Nabors"
variety show, besides major productions and concerts.
The Neal Blaisdell Center is another busy venue in Honolulu,
offering a number of concerts and special events, including
the Honolulu Symphony, Hawaii Opera Theatre, Arena Football
2 games, mixed martial arts fighting, new product shows,
home and improvement shows, and much more.
A
must do on Oahu is to watch the sun go down. Watching
the big yellow ball descend slowly into the blue waters
of the Pacific from anywhere on the Waikiki-Honolulu-Leeward
side of the island is a spectacle to remember for life.
Every evening, Kuhio Beach, where Kalakaua Avenue intersects
with Uluniu, comes alive with authentic Hawaiian hula
dancing and a torch-lighting ceremony. This is a thoroughly
delightful and free nightly offering.
Whatever
your taste, Oahu definitely has it all when it comes to
nightlife! |
