Part of the Gay Honolulu Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Honolulu, Hawaii
Cozy karaoke dive bar on Lauula Street, a laid-back Waikiki alternative
In Between is a narrow, 21+ karaoke bar tucked into an alley off Lau'ula Street, easy to walk past, a couple of blocks from the beach, and a deliberate dive-bar counterpoint to Waikiki's polished hotel lounges. Karaoke is the whole identity here, running from open to close, so the room fills with locals and regulars taking turns at the mic rather than a DJ. Drinks are affordable by Waikiki standards, and Sabrina's Dessert Bar operates inside the same space, mixing dessert-themed cocktails and flavored shots alongside the usual bar service, a quirk that sets it apart. It's small, friendly, and unpretentious, the spot for travelers who'd rather sing than be seen, and for locals it's a long-standing neighborhood hang in the middle of the tourist district.
