Had so much fun partying here with my crew and my girl. All thanks to Arsany. He legit has a passion for promoting this place and it shows. Very grateful to have met him and had a lot of great times and memories in Honolulu partying at Scarlett because of his influence. We ended up buying a table and a couple bottles of vodka. Epic night for sure. Thanks Arsany!

The night we went featured a somewhat young crowd. We still had a good time. There is a mix of gay and straight here, fyi. Respect other’s boundaries and you’ll have a great time on your visit here too!

I have been here only twice and the first time was alright. The bartender gave me a disgusted look after I handed him back my receipt I signed after paying for my drink. It was very rude. The second time was the worst time. Me and my significant other got a drink and I watched him pour straight red bull and no alcohol!!! After asking him why he did that, he looked at me dumb founded and I asked him to properly make my drink and include the alcohol this time. And he took the drinks, poured them out, and remade them which I was thankful for! But he overcharged us. Last time I payed 11$ for the exact drink, but this time.. he charged us $15 per drink!!! It was ridiculous. Please whoever owns this joint, talk to your bartenders and staff.

This club has a great space, but the music is mediocre with the DJ rushing through tracks. The clientele is disappointing, as many seem underage or just out of high school, with kids even trading bracelets outside. Its not what I expected from a supposed gay bar, as there are more straight individuals than LGBTQ+ patrons. Overall, not worth the time for anyone expecting a mature and inclusive atmosphere.

Always such a fun vibe, and the crowd is so diverse that you definitely come across all kinds of characters and so easy to make friends. The music is on point and the drinks are always hittin. The bartenders here are the best.

The Drag Shows start at 9p till 9:45/10p on Friday and Saturdays. First Friday is always themed and features the Party Monsters Mother Monster Gdolce, Father Monster Jason, Universal Show Queen 2023 VV Vixen, and Von Appétit. 11p is the cast number finale for the drag shows. If you’re looking to enjoy a Queer space consider coming early for the Drag Show as a lot of the time people miss us cause their night out starts later. See ya’ll there!

Nice lgbt friendly club for dancing and for a night out, $20 cover. Have great drag performers earlier in the night and dancers throughout the night. Unfortunately it kind of becomes a straight club later in the night. Many people just shoving around and being rude to others, which made it quite unpleasant and ruined the vibe.

Great club. Lots of white guys. Lol. Seriously. The gogo with the glasses. Was told his name is Patrick but probably not his real name is really cute. Open Friday and Saturdays. They closed at 145am. Cover is 20 dollars.

First time we went here we had a blast. Amazing drag show, hot guys, and great energy. Went back expecting the same vibe a couple months later and was super disappointed. The hot straight guys turned aggressive and mocking, shoulder checked several times, and given dirty looks if we danced too close to them or the girls they were after. The venue is cool and can be amazing, but unfortunately it didnt allow us to relax and have fun. I got in line to use the restroom (non-urinal), and the security guy made it seem like I was up to no good. What gay bar has issues with mixed restrooms? Overall I would try to go again, since this is the best place to dance, but disappointed by the energy. Wont be going back tonight as originally planned.

This is hands-down, one of the best gay clubs I’ve ever been to in my life not only are the dancers amazing the drinks are awesome. They have great food great atmosphere. There’s a reason why this is one of the best kept secrets in Honolulu .

The music sucks sometimes is only good for people that likes house music they play some good top 40s songs but house bits it get boring after listening to the same over and over is like you can only dance that one way all night Maybe if they actually play good music a bit of every thing like a good dj a bit of pop, hit hop top 40s trendy music with out the house bits and mix it thru the night the party would get better house music get over after a few song you really have to be in drugs or something to actually dance that All might. This place is not for people who enjoys music as it is and feel it and dance. Is just an other dance electronic and house music.

I went to Scarlet’s for my birthday and had the time of my life. From the moment you walk in the energy is amazing and the crowd is awesome. The dancers were fantastic and interacted with everyone and made it a great time. Even though it is a mixed crowd of lgbtq and straight people it was still awesome. I felt completely safe and comfortable here. I am glad Honolulu has a fun place like this to go to.

So, I don’t normally write reviews on bars, usually it’s on restaurants so this is one to take in.I used to formerly work in the nightclub scene similar to here so I know what is to expect. Cons, pros, etcFirst off, a $20 cover charge is a little much. In NYC, cover charges for a club similar are $10 MAX. I found 20 to be a bit excessive but I’m visiting and I heard this was the club in the area to go to besides a hole in the wall.I gotta say, the space is huge. Different rooms with different music. It’s nice because if you want to cool off, you can go into another room that’s not the main room. So that was nice.Upon reading the reviews, they’re true when it comes to the clientele. I was shocked to see mostly straight guys here, little out of the ordinary from what I see in NJ/NYC which you seen none but what didn’t make me uncomfortable was that my experience personally, I didn’t feel judged. I was shocked to see that straight guys were dancing around with our community. It was an eye opener. On top of that, a little eye candy was good to see.However, I could agree and see where people are coming from where this should be our bar and not there’s, but it could be worse.Now, If you’re the type of person that is claustrophobic and doesn’t like to dance and bump into people this isn’t the place for you. Because of the extra straight guys that dance around all over the place, it could get annoying. But if your like me, I just push and dance around back!It did get extremely sweaty and hot in there so as I mentioned, it will be a crowded like atmosphere especially on a Saturday night.I personally loved the music. Whoever DJed on this particular night killed it. I like house and EDM and it was just the right amount of mixes.Drinks are reasonably priced.For me it was a 4/5. Mostly cause of the cover charge.

They need to fix their AC system. I don’t know how it is legal to have a crowded space shoulder to shoulder and no adequate AC system. It’s worse than a sauna, easy for someone to pass out. Restrooms are so filthy, barely work, and a hazard with spilled water/piss everywhere. I noticed a girl slip and fall on her face.Cover charge is $20. They should consider doing improvements inside the building charging that much.Too many straight (girls + guys) trying to take over a LGBTQ space. The owners should invest in another place just for the straight folks.

Women are NOT welcome here. I was here with my gay friend (I’m a queer women) and a staff member asked us in the bar (after the drag show) “you know this is a gay bar right?” My friend was appalled by the sexism. He was also shocked when my drink was almost water when he compared it to his (and to be clear this wasn’t a situation where I had been over-served). I have never had a less welcoming experience in a gay bar. The drag queens were amazing but the rest was disappointing.

First time there tonight and we all had a great time. The drag show was lit and the vibe was awesome. Everybody and everything was lit. A drink costs around $10. Besides that, the restrooms were just a bit trashed.

Review №18

I love coming to Scarlet for the amazing drag shows and the LGBT safe space, but after the drag show ended the bar was no longer a gay club. The clientele transitioned to a strong majority of straight men and women. Some of the straight men were unfriendly and mocking the male go go dancers. I didn’t really feel comfortable being there anymore.

It is not a gay bar and honestly I was a little stunned by the things I could see inside, which are mostly people between 21 and 25 years old, 70% of the girls were very drunk and some straight guys took advantage

Review №20

Went there last night to see Eureka OHara. Not going to lie, I was nervous about going based on some of the reviews, however, my experience was vastly different. The only time I heard security get loud with anyone was when someone was trying to exit the venue with an alcoholic drink in hand. It should be common sense that that is a no-no. I exited the venue multiple times with water and that was fine. Im really shy and so awkward it hurts. Still, I had a blast and found the staff to be polite and super friendly.

Review №21

I’ve been coming here for a few years now and I just think it would be fair to be honest. It’s gone down hill dramatically. If you are a child, it’s worth going, but if you’re actually looking for a drag scene don’t waste your time. Can’t believe I spent over 500$ on a table just to try to have someone fight me and take my table. It’s a JOKE. What makes it even better is that security took the other persons side. Don’t waste your time.

I’ve partied in major metropolitan cities like Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas.. and this club is one of the worst. Yes it’s crowded and has a lot of potential. The problem is the DJ and music itself. It sucks. Literally. Will not come here again

Review №26

Too crowded and sweaty for me. I lived the drag show so I would put five stars alone for that, but a lot of straight people. I like my bars and nightclubs to be strictly lgbtqia+ because it gets weird when you see a drunk straight girl slapping a gay guys butt. I feel like stepping in and I just don’t like how commercialized the place seems. But the drag queens are gorgeous. Too young of a crowd for me and there’s some straight guy predator vibes there too. Just not my scene.

Review №27

We had a lot of fun here. Got to stand up on these cage-looking things that overlooked the club and also took these stairs by the bathroom to go up what seemed to be a small VIP balcony with a higher view of the club! The music was on point - one of the best DJs we ever vibed to. He just knew what to play and how to remix/transition the music. There is a dancefloor where anyone can just go up on. There is another walkway floor where drag queens and shirtless men peform! The drinks were good. The place was extremely busy on a Friday night. Surprisingly, there were a lot of us straights and people were definitely recognizing it, haha. Everyone had fun and there were no issues in our experience.

Review №28

I used to really love Scarlet. But lately when I go it’s so much less of a queer space. The aggressive and clearly homophobic cis straight men and how they treat women and gay men in the club is just generally disconcerting. Last night multiple men tried going into the ladies restroom, either not realizing or not caring about the “urinals only” bathroom directly across the hall. I even had to shove a man away from me to keep from being groped when moving through the crowd. I’ve also witnessed my queer male friends on the other end of aggression from clearly homophobic individuals. I understand getting business from non queer people, but there has to be a solution to refocus and make Scarlet a safe space again.

Review №29

Girls… this is giving straight college bar. It’s very young, straight, + messy. I attempted to asked the queer door staff if this was a ‘gay bar’ based on the clientele in line. They gave me a head nod yes so we went in and paid cover + got drinks. I was very much disappointed. This place is clearly looking for cash short term, not considering longer term impacts on the community they intended to serve.

Review №31

Scary place. Friends had to throw away 3 of my drinks since 3 seperate guys (!!!) tried spiking them. Then tried to go to the bathroom and a few other guys tried fiddling with the lock to barge in on me.That said, the vibe isnt bad, its overall fine. Its not a gay bar though- its a club. Ladies, dont let the lure of a gay bar lull you into complacency like it did to me. There are a lot of ill-intentioned men that go here to capitalize on your comfort. Its fun. Just keep your head on a swivel, watch your drinks, dont cross fade unless you have great friends or your S/O there to watch you, and whatever you do, stay the heck away from the gender neutral bathroom toward the front. Only go to the womens bathroom in the back. (Maybe thats self explanatory, but when youre wasted and you see a bathroom sign, all youre thinking is, Bathroom?)

Review №32

My boyfriend and I went on a Friday night and it was just a straight club. Every fifth person was gay and it made us uncomfortable. There was little to no representation and the straights were taking over a gay space aggressively. My boyfriend got shoulder checked twice just trying to walk through the crowd. All in all if you’re apart of the LGBTQIA+ community I wouldn’t go its over priced and unfriendly to us in our own space.

We used to like this place then tonight they kicked us out for absolutely no reason. the “bouncer” actually started swinging at my girlfriend then punched her to the ground. and then kept swinging at her. until we ran away. i was respectfully trying to ask why we were kicked out. they gave us no reason at all. she has bruises. really really sad that this is a place we used to feel safe.

Review №35

While fun at first, the end of the night was abrupt and rude. While patiently waiting in the line for the bathroom a bouncer instructed us that we all must leave “right now!”. As a respectful Canadian visiting, this is not the way to treat people who are supporting your business and looking to have a good time. I have noticed from the review that this type of mixed experience is the norm. Perhaps finding a balance of respect would allow this place to be successful. Until then, I’ll take my money to the other friendly bars in town.

Ni
Review №36

This place is perfect for the night if you’re looking for the gay dance scene, but if you’ve lived here for a while it gets old quick. They cater to the tourists rather then the locals. What prompted the negative review however, was the way I was treated by the bouncer. I exited the wrong way and thought I was going to get punched. I had little to no credit arguing with a nightclub bouncer so I was forced to walk away. Also, don’t touch the host or she’ll call you a fa**ot.

Review №37

I must say I am very dissatisfied. Before the revamp into the Scarlett Lounge this place used to have a decent selection of good food and very good cocktails and martinis at a reasonable price.Now the cocktails are sub par and so is the food. The service is slow and not as accommodating as it used to be.And that isnt even mentioning the new, very tacky interior design.The good reviews are largely older and based on the previous incarnation called Rain.

Review №38

I cant figure out if this is a straight club with a gay theme or a gay club that caters to straight chicks. Music was dub step in the main room, and a mix of dance music and dated hip-hop in the front room. Its too bad; they did a nice job with the set up. The club looks nicer than any other in Honolulu, and its the only real dance club thats at least gay-friendly.

Review №39

This was a (21+) fun place there were cabaret shows before 10pm was $10 and after 10pm was $15 with shows and dancing in the back tiki bar and dance floor but, was a majority of women on Saturday night. Can be a bit crammed in space for the late show.Try the doll house looking over the main dance floor its cool.

I’m happy Scarlet is back open! Although last call is at 1130 now. Good for them for requiring vaccine cards now- to the reviewer who was crying about this: stop being a big baby or go move to cry baby island with the rest of the babies! 👶Update 6/26/22- back in full swing and totally lit! The best party in Chinatown on a Saturday night. Admission is $20 but it’s well worth the price 🤙

Review №41

Loved the drag show, loved the music and the dancers, loved the vibe. Its a shame that I ended up leaving early because the bartender was an absolute nightmare. Bought ONE beer and left a cash tip, turned to talk to someone and when I turned around, the bartender yelled at me saying sarcastically yeah, thanks for the tip as if I didnt give him one? Then when I went to get another beer, he not only shooed me away, but also everyone in my group. As someone who is a bartender, to turn down an entire group of people because you didnt think your tip was good enough is a wild concept. We tried to brush it off but the night went sour and we just decided to go home.

Rain is propably my favorite restaurant in Honolulu. They have the coolest specials for each day! Their food is amazing and they are known for their martinis with a side cart. So for price of one drink you get two :) The service is really good too. Oh and not to forget the beautiful decor inside.

Review №43

Food was amazing we shared scallops and asparagus, drinks were ok the best part of the drinks were that they were half price and still came with a sidecar (extra of your cocktail to pour in)! Service on the other hand was very lackluster. The 2 servers were arguing over who was going to take our table, so we waited and waited, then someone came over, explained that they didnt know who our server was and they apologized and said they were figuring it out. When we finally got a server, she was very impatient and when ordering if I asked my friend a question the server would get an attitude and walk away. Like I was wasting her time. This happened twice. Then we sat and waited forever, again, with empty drinks and dishes before she ever came back to the table. I really liked this place and aside from the terrible service I really wanted to give it 5 stars but I cant. I definitely want to go back again but next time Ill sit at the bar.

Review №44

I can’t understand how this place even exists. The music is terrible. The security staff are rude (I know!! It’s hawaii!!!!). The venue itself is a complete dump, but not in an endearing way. I felt bad for the huge and impressive wooden statue that’s in the corner to be stuck in a venue like this. The music is terrible, yes it bears repeating, I’d rather listen to a jackhammer. The crowd is barely gay, but granted is at least gay friendly. That’s about all this place has going for it. My recommendation: don’t go here.

Review №45

My first time back since Covid and sad to say it was primarily a straight bar. We got shoulder several times by aggressive straight guys and didnt feel safe. It was sad that a queer space has been taken over though not sure what can be done. Only sharing for others to be aware of what youre walking into.

Review №46

The service was really good. Co-workers and I came for lunch on a Thursday and we were sat quickly. The restaurant is cozy and clean. We got our orders taken quickly. About 15 minutes later, the waiter came around to apologize for the long wait for our food which I thought was nice of him to say, even though I feel our wait time was normal.I got the roast beef sandwich (comes with provolone, horseradish peppercorn aioli on an onion roll) and I was disappointed that it tasted bland and the meat was dry and sparse. The handcut fries that came with the dish (you can opt for greens instead) were limp. Based on the temperature of the food that got served to me, I have the impression that my meal was made about 5 minutes after I ordered but sat out for about 15 minutes before it got to my table.They have good reviews so I would like to try them again, but dinner seems to be the way to go. Since they just recently started lunch service, Im hoping theyre still tweaking and figuring things out.

Review №48

I only bother to write reviews when a place is so bad or so exceptional it is worth the effort.This place was so disappointing on all fronts. And the positive reviews must have been written by investors in the restaurant.You can tell that someone in the kitchen could potentially put out some good food but it is ruined by the organization, timing, and staff.I came with my girlfriends family including parents and children. They brought out half the food and the other food took 30 more minutes to arrive. The food they first brought out was half decent and the other half cold and barely edible.When the rest of the food came out (with no apology for the delay) only 1 out of 4 dishes was above average. 2 dishes were average at best and 1 was pretty bad.The staff was clearly the kind that had partied all night and continued to party with their dinner service. They didnt want to be there and couldnt be bothered to fill water, take drink orders or pay attention to the few tables they had.To end this disappointing evening we realized we were charged for a scallop dish that never came out. When we told the waiter he said let me check. 10 minutes later the manager brought out the scallop dish and said the kitchen was backed up. We had a party of 9 and had all finished eating and the plates had been cleared. She insisted we keep the scallop dish and pay for it. My girlfriends father in his 70s put his foot down and said that was unacceptable. After going back and forth the manager finally took the scallop dish off the bill and berated us on the way out the door. It was the level of professionalism you would expect at a fast food chain.The bottom line is the food was bad. If the food had been better the rest probably would have been forgotten.

While visiting, we found Scarlet on a local gay guide account and decided to spend a couple dollars on a lyft from Waikiki as we were at another bar (Tapas) where it was a horrible experience. It was only about a 10-15 min ride to Scarlet. Once we entered (small cover) we found way better music and 2 dance floors of which had different genres - perfect! This was where the action was! The night totally turned around for us here at Scarlet! The staff was friendlier, more energetic and the vibe of everyone was awesome! The drag queens were slayin and scarlet even has a built stage with a runway! Omg the queens were fierce! We also found out they have inexpensive vip areas with bottle service which we’d totally do the next time we visit! Can’t wait to return to Hawaii

Review №54

Originally based in Chicago this team has now expanded to Honolulu Hawaii.Nestled in the Fort Street Mall Area is a new buzzing place.Get ready to be challenge with a new dance club which I have not seen so far on the island able to bring this type of energy like they do. This can not be easily replicated. However it seems theyre on to something. This is not your usual club.. .. This place is awesome. I am going to be as general as not to give away too much. There are mutiple shows throughout the night , dance routines, scits . stages, poles ( yes poles). Incredible laser and light show. Incredible sound systems and special effects. It might be a little loud from what others are use to on the island, however its not bad at all.. .The open floor club is split up . There is a nice sofa lounge area which is great for having light conversation, enjoying your well made drinks, and watching shows which is a split off from the dj area. Now if you are tired of relaxing and if the beat gets you moving than jump on over to the other side. ..This is open to the public which means you can come accross people from many backgrounds; Straight, bi, couples, transgender, professionals, locals, tourist, ..... So be prepared to have an interesting night with your friends..Dont worry about holding a conversation, youll be too busy having fun.. .They play some awesome club mixes which other places are not able to pull off. You almost feel like your at a mainland club scene in NY, Vegas, Or LA. Now add Chicago to the list.Drink specials are good.No credit card minimums for tabs.$5 COVER. .This is going to be the latest buzz. And you are going to dance your ass off. Bring your cameras and video some of the shows.. .You will dance; you will laugh; you will be shock(omg face);.And the best part you will have a great time.Ladies bring your dollar bills, youll see why. You might just be asked to participate..Come dress relax to dance.This straight guy gives it five stars.

Went here with 400 in cash in my bag. This was last Friday. Because i had a knife in my bag they requested that i leave my bag with the cleark. So i took 20 out and gave them my bag being told all would be safe. I drank 2 beers danced then decided to go home. Before i left i just took a quick look inside without counting and assumed all money was accounted for because i saw a few bills. Low and behold the next day all was not right. I was missing 300. How? I dont know. But i know i was not drunk when i left and i went straight home afterwards so there is no way i could have lost the money especially because it was for my bills. Im not mad but disappointed that this happened. I cant point fingers because i left the money in my bag yet this caused a great deserves to my life. Lessons learnt, dont carry my knife to a club and never leave my money in my bag thinking its safe.

Food was alright, service was OK. I hesitate to recommend a restaurant that will serve an avocado on a salad that is rock hard. Two of us had their Cobb salads and we both had a quarter avacodo served with the salad that was too hard to cut with our knives. Of the avacodo is that unripe I would prefer they not serve it and explain that they had ko fresh avacodo that day.

If you are a fan of POSE you will be comfortable at Scarlett. If you are a mike pence type there are churches nearby.

I dont understand why they dont indicate when it is closed. I traveled 45 minutes from my hotel just because it indicated that it was open, I arrived and it was closed. That nasty!!
