Hideout sits one flight up at The Laylow — an Autograph Collection mid-century-modern boutique tucked between Kuhio's busier blocks — and serves what Honolulu Magazine repeatedly names one of the islands' best pau hana hours. The open-air lanai surrounds a small pool, with tiki torches at dusk, fire pits after dark, and live music drifting nightly from 6 to 9. Happy hour runs every day from 1 to 5, with discounted craft cocktails, beer, wine, and flatbreads cut from $16 down to $9. The menu is what the kitchen calls Modern Hapa Hawaiian — pork belly with brussels sprouts, ahi poke tacos, seared-ahi sandwiches, and creative crab dumplings. It's polished but not stiff, popular with locals on weekday afternoons, and one of the best moves in Waikiki when the beach gets too hot.
"Trendy, picturesque, and that open-air rooftop setting with tiki torches and a fire pit is unbeatable. The happy hour is legitimately the best deal on this stretch — four flatbreads at nine bucks."
