As you sit on your bar stool The Smokin Menehunes teleport you to the sands of Waikiki and allow you to transcend beyond all the doom and gloom being transmitted on the news from the tv hanging from the wall at Busters. I would love to see that place used on a more regular basis for Tikiyaki, Menehunes, Martini Kings etc... It has lots of space, right on the water, Bamboo Ben made the bar, and the place has a good layback Hawaiian style vibe. It was one of my best kept secrets but if your reading this then your my kind of guy/gal so the cats out of the bag. Mahalo to the Menehunes for a great show!

I agree on all counts...I'd love a regular gig there....once or twice a month. The Ocean view through the picture windows is really serene, and the bamboo interior (I didn't know Ben did it, that's why it looks so nice, of course) and the EXCELLENT food all adds up to a good time.

As someone who doesn't drink at all.....I know...blashphemy, right ?.....I tasted the Lapu Lapu that Marie made, and it was damn tasty ! I'd consider having one of those on occasion, it was that good.

The stage is a nice size, which is important for our giant band, and the sound system sounded good.

I will re-iterate, between the ocean view and the food....I'm sold ! Add the right tropical music...perfect.

Now, we just need to convince them that they need to do a little shopping trip to Oceanic Arts and get some TIKI in there :)
