My friend and I visited this spot to celebrate her birthday, arriving right at opening time (5:30 PM). We chose to sit at the bar, though the tables and lounge chairs looked incredibly cozy. From the moment we arrived, Rob and Jacob provided exceptional service, making our experience even more enjoyable. Parking in the back lot was a breeze - likely because we came early on a weekday. To start, my friend ordered A Small Hand, while I had a Citrus Gin cocktail crafted by Rob - both were excellent. For food, we went with the Shrimp Toast, Tuna Brioche (two pieces), and the Crab Dynamite. The dishes arrived quickly, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Our favorite was the Crab Dynamite - a must-try! We also tried some of their Guilt-Free cocktails, which were just as impressive. I had the 430 Sour, while my friend enjoyed the South Shore. To wrap up the night, she sipped on a Queen Emma, and I indulged in another cocktail made by Rob - this time a Sweet Gin creation featuring mulberry - so good! The ambiance was perfect for both celebrating and catching up. There was a steady flow of guests, but it never felt too crowded or overwhelming. It's the ideal spot to unwind, enjoy well-crafted drinks, and savor flavorful bites. We'll definitely be back soon!

The vibe in this joint is really nice. We ended up here after having dinner downstairs, but then felt a yearning because the menu here looks really good. The food is prepared by the incomparable Miro in Kaimuki so you know it's going to be good.I had the blue Hawaii which was very refreshing and my partner had an old fashioned and it was well balanced and reasonably priced.It's nice and dark too, so if you want a space to getaway from life for a bit or even play some board games with friends, this is a great spot.Bartenders were friendly and seemed to really enjoy what they did.

Brand new and amazing. Fun and new cocktail bar in Honolulu! Come for the amazing chicken hotdog which comes with black truffle honey! I recommend the Old Man & The Sea and if you have full trust, allow the bartender to make a special cocktail for you! Easy 10/10 for all around food and service quality. Park down the street or at Ala Moana. Come see them!

The theme of their cocktails was Hawaii inspired. Lots of lilikoi and guava. Tried two of the signature cocktails, the Blue Hawaii and Medicina. The Blue Hawaii was described as a clarified milk punch (rum, falernum, demerara, pineapple, coconut, lime). It was pretty unique and reminded me of the yakult yogurt drink. The Medicina (mezcal, chartreuse, pineapple, lime, shishito, Yerba mate) was well balanced and more complex. It was very dark inside, speakeasy vibes! The music playlist was fun and had oldies jams mixed in. They are also working on creating a food menu.

Just made it for date night to 430 parkway- up the stairs- cute dark speakeasy. Waitress was so helpful and informative. Did t have the food we just came for drinks. We have the Medicina and Blue Hawai'i.... The Medicina was better less sweet. Love the ambiance and the staff was very welcoming. Cute hidden gem.

This intimate cocktail lounge located on the second floor of 430 Piikoi. Go to Hangang Korean bbq and find the stairs at the corner of the intersection. The lounge is not marked on the night of my visit (12/24) but it is obviously that door is new and does not belong there. Once you locate the door, you will be transformed into a cocktail bar with comfortable seating and different board games. The cocktails are delicious and reflect Chef Kajioka style using local ingredients. The server was very welcoming and gave us information about this newly open place. Food was not available the night of our visits but she said it will be available in late January 2025. Note that they do not have a kitchen so food will be prepared at Miro and transport over. Sounds like oysters will be one of the menu items. Cool place to check out for some good cocktails!

Came with a friend during soft opening phase. It's a bit hidden away in a complex that looks like there is no way a bar exists. Maybe a bit Japan like. But inside it is much larger than you'd think. A long bar area and multiple lounge style options throughout the room. Friend went zero proof (driver!) and I did the 430Fashioned. As you guess it was a play on the old fashioned. Very delicious. Space is dimly lit and classically appointed as furniture goes. It looks like you cam hold decent size groups on the corners of the lounge portion so parties can be accommodated. Glad ai got in early as the craft cocktail scene is evolving and growing since Id been in town hears ago. Places like Leather Apron are continually packed so it's great to have more choices as the scene grows...

Cool bar, and bonus that it's brand-new so they're got plenty of staff who were very attentive, and you can tell they want to do a good job.Decent ambience, with lots of room.I will say I didn't like the two signature cocktails. I didn't think they were my thing and I've been to pretty much all the speak-easy bars (Bar leather apron, Green-lady, Gaslamp, High Brau, etc). Next time I'll just order and tell them what I want. Yes, there will be a next time.

After stopping by for the first time on Friday, this is officially one of our top cocktail lounges on Oahu--the classic, old school ambiance; the delicious, innovative cocktails; the personable service; and the "IYKYK" vibes are reminiscent of a bygone era that was steeped in tradition and greater simplicity. We tasted several cocktails, including: Discovery Bae, Mauka Breeze (my personal fave!), Queen Emma, Art of the Kill, Old Man & the Sea, and Dealer's Choice. The highly skilled mixologist, Jacob, is well known and has pioneered many concoctions while attending to several other establishments such as natuRe Waikiki. If you're looking for a relaxed environment that prides itself on quality and tranquility over the disjointed and haphazard nature of club-like venues, this is the place for you. We'll definitely be frequently 430 Pkwy, and look forward to the the addition of food options in the coming year.

Found this place while scrolling through social media, and just had to give it a try, got there right before the crowd; as soon as we walked into the bar, we were greeted immediately, the server let us know that (2) of the tables were reserved for parties. (Great to know that if you call into the place you can reserve a table for a larger group)We ended up sitting at the bar, greeted immediately by the bartender. The drinks were good and delicious, definitely different from your average. The vibe of the place was so cozy and relaxing, it does get a bit loud as the crowd rolls in but thats normal. They also play great music!
