Oahu After Dark - Honolulu, Waikiki and Oahu - page 343

Another great bar for watching the sun sink into the Pacific is Duke's Waikiki ( & 808/
922-2268; www.dukeswaikiki.com ) , in the Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach. The outside Bare-
footBar is perfect for sipping a tropical drink, watching the waves and sunset, and listening
to music. It can get crowded, so get here early. Hawaii sunset music is usually from 4 to 6pm
daily, and there's live entertainment nightly from 9:30pm to midnight.
Drinks and dance at House Without a Key.
In the Aloha Tower Marketplace
Unlike in Waikiki, palm trees don't sway at the AlohaTowerMarketplace, on the waterfront
between piers 8 and 11, 1 Aloha Tower Dr., Honolulu Harbor ( & 808/528-5700 ). But the land-
mark Aloha Tower, once Oahu's tallest building, does occupy a prime downtown location—on
the water, at a naturally sheltered bay, near the business and civic center of Honolulu. Which
means that since its construction, the Aloha Tower Marketplace has gained popularity as an
entertainment and nightlife spot, with more than 100 shops and restaurants, including several
venues for Honolulu's leading musical groups.
In the GordonBierschBreweryRestaurant ( & 808/599-4877; www.gordonbiersch.com ),
diners swing to jazz, blues, and island riffs with a changing slate of entertainers from sunset
through the evening Wednesday through Saturday. The food and beer are great, too. The
