Anyplace Cocktail Lounge

Amazing food and drinks with friends. Great place to have Ohana get together and watching football games, especially watching UH go green!

Great ambiance, a true local gem to those of us who have been born and raised here. However, they need to hire better (younger?) severs. I understand that when establishments are busy, fast service might be a little harder to come by. But when you have severs outright ignoring you and taking orders for an ENTIRE TABLE of people instead, that's where I have to draw the line. No sorry, no nothing. The lady even matched eyes with us, yet deliberately walked away to put in the order of the group after us.. Absolutely horrible and unacceptable in any capacity. This review won't do anything to dent their revenue; rather, I took it upon myself to leave some trace of this atrocity in the digital ether in the hopes that the poor, clueless lady will hear about this some day and do her job a little better. DON'T DISCRIMINATE ANY CUSTOMER based on the way they look, what they've ordered, the language they speak--just DON'T! You have no right to pick and choose who you cater to. Do your job and do it right.

This is a BUSY place. And like the TARDIS, it's bigger on the inside than you would think from the outside, especially after looking at the parking lot (translation: don't expect to find a parking spot). Typical bar food. We had to sit at the bar, so the bartender was our sever, and she was VERY busy. The food was generally good, but the yakisoba (fried noodles) was REALLY salty. Drinks were okay, but nothing standout or special. This is a very 'local' spot, not a high-end bar or craft cocktail bar in any sense of the word. As long as you temper your expectations, you may like it. I didn't ask, but I have to wonder. Was it named Anyplace because when you ask your significant other where they want to go and they answer, "I don't care. Anyplace" you bring them here?

We've been going here for over 12 years as regular patrons but some days it's packed with large groups who stay for karaoke or game night for hours so hard to get a table for 2. Food is good with some ono daily specials. Servers are friendly and on point but recently experienced rudeness by a staff which wasn't necessary. Sadly for these reasons we won't be going back.

Came for 80's night. I felt like the youngest person in there LOL. The band playing was Wasabi and they were really good. They sure got the crowd going. I ordered the chicken salad which was good, but would've been better with white meat/chicken breast. Hubby said the tater totts were crispy. He also had a BLT and Spam/Egg combo, which he liked. Parking is a challenge. The lot got full fast. You can park in the lot across the street for a $7.00 flat fee until 6am. They also have street parking if you're lucky.

I had a late lunch with Maris on a Thursday in mid-June, at Anyplace Lounge.Maris got so drunk the night before, at her friend Rian's birthday party at Little Joe's that she just had water to drink. I had a Diet "Coke" which didn't seem like it was an authentic Coca Cola product. It was noticeable to me, although I guess when people in the bar are getting drunk, they can't discern the difference.We went to Anyplace because Maris has been on this quest to find the old school place or dingy diner which has great food, most notably the best hamburger, French fries, and saimin on Oahu.Maris ordered a cheeseburger, French fries, and saimin. I ordered a hamburger and fried noodles.The food was pretty good and I would go back, although the fried noodles were not the best. The hamburger was served on sandwich bread instead of on a bun, which was pretty old school. Guess it keeps the cost down since regular sandwiches and burgers can be served on the same kind of bread. The fries were pretty good, fried crispy like Maris orders them.I think the place gets pretty busy during prime time; when we were leaving, a couple more mixed groups of 4 came in. Prior to that, it was only the regular strays at the bar.So far, we have been to Jane's Fountain, Liliha Bakery, Shiro's, Tanaka Saimin, Shige's Saimin Stand, and a couple other places. And still exploring. LMK if there are other places worth trying. Thanks.

A visit to the rock wouldn't be complete without a visit to one of my favorite bars! Met up with the Hawaii posse, and decided on somewhere low key just to drink. But I had to have my super duper combo...grilled cheese, BLT, Spam and egg, and hamburger sandwiches on one platter!!! We also had the poke, wings, really good fish and chips, and lechon. Drinks were excellent! Nice pours at a reasonable price! Love hanging out with the locals! The staff is always friendly!Mahalo!

First of all congratulations on the new location!This is my OG of OG and gosh how cool and spacious is their new spot though on the flip side parking is now the biggest challenge. I totally love the vibe here as it's super huge in comparison of their smaller former space it's incredible how many tv's they also got as there will never be a fear of missing out no matter where you're sitting.As soon as you step in there's a white board filled with specials and the one that caught our eyes was the Laulau plate...yum! Their regular menu is filled with all things we love like Spam & Egg, Fried Noodles, Kal Bi, Lechon even Vienna sausage. We did order the Laulau plate along with Garlic Soybeans, Chicken Wings, and yup Saimin!Everything was super good and just how I like it feels like home and comfort foods. The staff here is just so friendly and constantly checking up on us and all the tv's was just a great disconnect to a forced conversation lol!Nice and spacious to brings groups of all sizes to enjoy whatever the occasion brings Anyplace is the the place to be!Thank you!

There was a time when an "open tab" meant your server put a pitcher on your table and everyone threw in a $20 letting the server help themselves with each successive round. Pitcher empty, everyone throw in another $20. A time when your choice was a brown bottle or a green one with or without a bucket of ice.A time where the fried chicken, kalbi, fried noodles were free as long as you kept drinking.Kamigata's, Flamingo's Waipahu, Shinsho Tei, and yes, Anyplace.The food is not free anymore but if you love the old school taste, it delivers. Kalbi, grilled, sweet soy goodness. "Obachan's fried chicken", incredibly crisp skin, juicy interior with the home cooked taste. Old school bacon fat laden fried rice, win!Cheap beer. Nothing fancy unless you consider Kona Longboard on tap fancy. Heavy pours of dive bar standard drinks (kamikaze anyone?).Incredibly friendly service with an unexpected tech twist. Your orders are taken on an iPad.Great place to watch a game with well placed large screens everywhere. A true come as you are, local dive bar that brims with the feeling of mutual understanding and belonging you only get from those who grew up in Hawaii.

really attentive service good bar foodgreat entertainment central - was able to find street parking cozy and relaxed had a old school vibe - brought back memories when I used to DASH.had the kim chee fried rice - has a lil kick to it, spicier than normal which I like, lechon kawali - loved the vinegar sauce, rib eye with mushroom and onions, tater tots (nice and crispy), bacon and cheddar fries, and kalbi. Will be back~
