Part of the Gay Honolulu Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Honolulu, Hawaii
200-plus craft beers and gourmet pizza in Honolulu's Chinatown arts district since 2005.
Bar 35 sits on North Hotel Street in downtown Honolulu's Chinatown arts district, a neighborhood anchor since 2005. The draw is one of the city's deepest craft beer lists — 200-plus bottles and cans from more than 20 countries — paired with gourmet thin-crust pizzas that go well beyond bar-food basics. Signature pies like the Cantonese Kiss (crispy pork, sweet plum sauce, wonton) and Black Sea (spicy shrimp, baby clam, black crust) are worth ordering on their own. The bar draws a mixed, gay-popular crowd, particularly on Friday nights. DJs, happy hour from 4 to 8pm on weekdays, and a regular spot on Chinatown's monthly First Friday arts walk round out the programming. The space mixes brick walls, leather couches, and a bamboo-shaded outdoor patio.

A calm, practical answer to every question first-timers actually have about gay bathhouses — how check-in works, the unwritten rules, what things cost, and why almost everyone there came alone.
