Genius Lounge and Sake Bar

Honolulu

Sake Bar

$$$$

A hidden gem in the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, Genius Lounge is a warm and inviting spot that fans love for its wide selection of sake, shochu, cocktails, and high-quality Japanese bar food, ranging from citrus pepper chicken to kimchee fried rice to cream cheese poke. The lounge's atmosphere is relaxing, particularly on the cozy outdoor patio, where you should post up with the strong and whimsical Hello Kitty Tea, which is made with lychee, apple sour, and watermelon sakes -- and tastes like juice.
