Reviews of Play Bar Night Club Waikiki (Night Club)

Ellie Voyvodich

Staff was extremely good to my husband and I but we really couldn’t do the smellscape. Please do something about the smell of urine cause we wouldn’t have stayed all night

Over crowded and if you do find a table and sit down which the party of 7 that I was with did, if someone orders bottle service you will be asked to move. Maybe they should have that area roped off or clearly posted on the outside so you know before you pay 10 dollar cover charge to be disappointed. Much better places in Waikiki to enjoy yourself with a much better atmosphere. And I'm not a tourist just visiting I'm a local. This is the 3rd time I've been there and bad experience everytime so yep wont be back.

Horrible attitude with the bouncer trying to take my 20 dollars and then another 15 to go in. I will never come here again. The bouncer let the men in front just come in and he didn’t even check his ID. Don’t waste your time !!! I would give it negative stars but you can’t do that.

Went on a Monday and of course there was nobody. Security weren't in any rush to let us in even though it was opening hours as we arrived at 9pm. The security seemed annoyed that I interrupted him while he was eating instead of working. $5 door charge when we were the only people in the club and it was pretty smelly and the glasses were dirty. Cheap drinks...$3 pitchers for draft beer. Wouldn't reccomend this place. A tad shady

I can’t even get a glass of water here. Have to pay $4 for a bottle of water because they thought I’d drug someone!! Ridiculous

Mike Rus

Absolutely worst customer service I have ever experienced. Do not waste your time here

I love this Knight life

Definitely Crowded to where it can be little much to handle. Bartender was cool, had a Corona waiting for me every time I walked up. Music was good and the drinks were too. Not to expensive but you could blow a $100 easily. In all honesty if it was a little bigger and more open it would be dope. I'm just here as a tourist too, bouncers were cool to me every time I came; sorry to anyone who had a different experience. Seen someone post about if you weren't a white or a white tourist(don't quote me) you were treated badly. I'm a minority and had no trouble. Just think if you come with respect you get it too.

The worst bar I've ever been at. The drinks are as bad as the music...

Clayton Stewart

Literally turning it up doesn't make it better. Couldn't even get in the door the blasting 'music' was so bad. Basic beats with no rythum that you can hear 5 blocks away. I feel sorry for the people at the hotels in the area, it's just noise for the the sake shakingof loud noise shaking the curb.... Or maybe the ground is just trembling in terror.

Layla Edmonds

Crowded but fun. Decent price and staff. Cool people fun time.

Dunno whats everyone so upset about but im having a blast on a wednesday night. Cheap drinks good crowd nice services. I guess if you play nice you get to be treated nice? Or maybe its just luck. But still good night so far

Well when I do visit Honolulu in July I’m definetly steering away from this place , bloody awful reviews ,but surprisingly the business still survives but not to long with these types of reviews ....

Playbar is by far my favorite bar in Waikiki, cheep drinks with good music. Lots of people at night. Shun was a sweetheart and always made sure our drinks were full!

Isaac Perez

honestly wish i could give zero stars but that’s not even a thing.. i went with a group of friends and the security guard looked at me and said there was a “dress code” that i had sweat pants on. They stated that i needed to either have dress pants or shorts on.. Okay... so we went to the ABC store to go buy shorts stood in line AGAIN and we asked okay can we go in now?? the same security made me lift my t-shirt up for him to say “no, those look like swim trunks” and shooed us away.. keep in mind another guy in our group was wearing very similar shorts. I had an odd feeling about the guy from the beginning because before even going in he was specifically targeting me .. oh well you lost almost $100 last night. idiotic

ZOT HIPHOP

Wow!!!! I have never been to a worse club in my life!!! Bouncer and bartender honestly remind me of zombies!!! (No personality what so ever)...very dry!!! Maybe smile for once guys!!! I'm on vacation, made it feel like I was in a jail cell!!!...they clearly hate their jobs!!!10$ entrance fee one day, day before it was 5$. Buddy is pocketing the loot fosho. Do not recommend this place for the life of me!!!! Hire some new staff asap!!!

Nice space, tons of seating and great drinks. The music wasn’t bad. The room had sports on some televisions and MTV music videos on others. Maybe it’s because we were there “early” for nightlife, but there were a lot of people just standing around and no one on the dance floor.

Great atmosphere music and waitresses!! Came on vacation but will recommend to others!

Frank Thatguy

I love their music cause the play a lot of hip hop but other than that it’s waaaaayyyyy too crowded and there’s a lot of sketchy activity there to the point that you may not wanna go alone, but it’s always open late and there’s always hella ppl there, just don’t expect much more than wildlife in and outside of that club, oh and good luck finding parking

Torstein Calmic

Stay away from this place if you don't want to ruin your impression of Hawaii. The music is awfully old and switching every 15 seconds. The security personnel is super rude and swears on you, like if trying to pick a fight or provoke, so is the manager. Generally speaking this is a place for pure savages.

Benjamin Price

Servers were great at letting you know how to work the bar, bartenders had a decent poor for the area, bathrooms were tidy (always tip your bathroom attendant fellas), being there are plenty of tourists there's a slow moving dance floor sometimes. Over all a good experience, although not the same you'd expect from a club back home for me. Dance floor is small but formidable for the crowd before midnight. Bring friends if you dont want to be in contact with others. The more the merrier.

Joshua Panetta

Very crowded. Overall good vibes and great location.

Luke Driver

To be completely honest it was a pretty awful club. Drinks not a great price and also bouncers seemed to be quite intrusive. Whilst not seeing the other offerings of nearby clubs, can't say I'd go here on any occasion. Maybe could be busier in peak season?

Super cheap drink specials, glowing dance floor, Top 40 pop/hip hop, and VERY colorfully diverse and young crowd. This is the right spot if you want to get a little ratchet and feel comfortable enough to make it clap since you are not surrounded by the predominant demographic of caucasian baby boomer tourists that are at most of the local bars. They have a $10 cover at the door, although I hate paying covers the low priced drinks make up for it in the end. They have daily specials that go as low as $1 for a mixed drink on some days....thats crazy. They didnt seem to have a very strict dress code as I saw many different casual styles, which you can see from my photos. There around like 20 bouncers inside keeping a close eye on things so at first I thought it was a strip club, but it turned out to be a very good danceclub. The dj was very much on point and I know good djs bc Im deep in the NYC nightlife scene. He kept the crowd moving even when switching genres from dancehall to hip hop to trap. There are waitresses walking the floor taking orders. The bathrooms are decent. It looks like both locals and tourists mix here and maybe a good place to socialize and meet singles. Overall a cool local spot to turn up with a fun crowd.

The bouncer was kind and our waitress was respecful!!! The floors were a little sticky but it’s a nightclub that’s to be expected! Met some GREAT locals and had a good time with the $1 mixed drinks special! If u want a good time in Waikiki this is the place to go! (Around 11pm)

Staying at a hotel, I googled nearby bars to see what on God's green earth could be playing bass so loud at 3am while patrons shout into oblivion. This is clearly it. Feels like I'm in hell. I'd give anything for the sweet silent void of release from this mortal plane.
