I was going do a week in Vegas but my brother and I have decided to go to Hawaii instead.
We leave March 10.

Any tips for good bars where women instinctively flock?

No idea where we're staying yet.

Cheers!

You're in the wrong section GP. But anyway, let me be the first to tell you. Hawaii is a US State consisting of many islands but the international airport is in Honolulu on Oahu. So unless you have made other plans you are probably staying there. I don't have sufficient local knowledge to answer your question about where women instinctively flock there. However, the Waikiki area is where tourists instinctively flock.

It would help you to visualize perhaps the Gold Coast area of Queensland (but without decent waves), to know what Waikiki is like. So think of where women flock there, and I am sure that the same type of places will be found in Waikiki.

Cool, I lived on the Goldy for 14 years so maybe that will stand me in good stead. Hopefully the women are more approachable in Hawaii than the Coast though!

Incidentally, where's the best place to post crap like this?

Oahu is fun. Some friends and I rented a house on the North Shore years ago and had a great time.

We went in the offseason and found the North side of the island to be pretty quiet which is what we were looking for. Waikiki was busy but the beach wasn't too bad.

The bus system is great and can take you around the entire island so we didn't even rent a car. We rented scooters one day in Waikiki and that was a blast. We actually rode them all the way to Turtle bay for snorkelling which was also great.

Make sure to visit a Kobe Steakhouse there. A bit expensive but well worth the experience. I'd check some online reviews for that as I think some places are much better than others.

If you are an a$$man be sure to go to the Polynesian Cultural Centre and check out the Evening show. Beautiful bubble butts shaking everywhere!

It's a super tourist spot so I don't think you'll have any trouble finding the action.

Be careful if you are getting into a cab at the airport. We saw a girl put her bag in the back seat and before she got in she was distracted by another person. While she was looking away another guy entered the cab from the other side and stole her bag. The cabby may or may not have been in on it. Brutal way to start your holiday.

You could have posted it in Anything Else. When someone asks you where you are from I would suggest you just say the Deep South or the Big Island. This will confuse them as the big island is their name for the actual island of Hawaii which is south of Oahu. If you have just disgraced yourself, you should tell people that you are English. They will believe you because they cannot distinguish any non North American accents. In that way your actions will not tarnish the national reputation. If it is too late to disavow, just go with the stereotype. You are expected to consume large quantities of beer and do crazy, and reckless acts.

Duke's Waikiki at the bar. Afternoon to early evening is the best, especially when they have someone playing live music. Lots of women there, especially Sunday afternoon. The yardhouse is a restaurant/bar where people go as well, I like Duke's a lot better since its right on the water and is more chill/hawaiian in vibe.

Most of the tourist nightlife is right in Waikiki so I suggest staying there. There are a few University of Hawaii dorms in the area, but I find going to tourist spots a little better as the college bars are...well, college bars.

Lots of the nightlife tends to be on the messy/ghetto side. Lots of locals keep to themselves and are extremely clique-y. There are a few ok irish/english pubs, but stuff ends pretty early out there, its a lot better to meet people during the daytime. Alot of people go there on vacation or honeymoon, so take that into consideration.

Take a booze cruise too. They're not too expensive and you meet people there who are out to drink, hang and have a good time. They're just right on the beach in front of dukes, several of them. Only like $35 for unlimited drinks and a 2 hour cruise around Waikiki on the catamaran and you can jump in the ocean.

I go to Oahu every year.
