The Irish, like the Hawaiians, know how to have a good time without spending a week's paycheck. Two or three beers, a late-night bar, loud music, dancing and good company are hard to beat. Three Irish bars come to mind: Kelley O'Neil's, 311 Lewers Street, the Irish Rose Saloon, 478 Ena Road, both in Waikiki, and O'Toole's, 902 Nu'uanu Street, in downtown Honolulu. Expect live rock ‘n roll most nights and Irish bands on occasion.

Kelley O'Neil's features a lively pub atmosphere with live music every night and no cover charge. Irish music is on tap every Sunday afternoon. The pub features an affordable menu with Guinness Pie at the top of the list. Wash it down with Guinness Stout served on tap. The pub stays open until the wee hours every night. Call for more information or a music update.
