Located inside the Waikiki Grand Hotel, Hula's is a national treasure of the gay community, not just a local stop for mai tais, $6 pitchers of beer, live musical acts, a dance floor and a bevy of 20-something, physically-fit male bartenders and servers.Īfter all, how many gay bars anywhere have celebrated 40 years of existence, as Hula's did this past July? Sidetrack, by comparison, will have its 33rd anniversary in 2015. HONOLULU�The epicenter of gay life here is near the intersection of Kalakaua and Kapahulu Streets�about a minute walk away from Waikiki Beach, in the second-story, open-air, scenic spot known as Hula's Bar & Lei Stand.
