When Is Hideout at The Laylow Happy Hour?
From 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM every day, Hideout at The Laylow pours its Happy Hour right in the heart of Waikīkī. If you’re planning Happy Hour in Honolulu, that’s your window, Sunday through Saturday, with the same easy timing each visit. At Hideout at The Laylow in Waikiki, the Happy Hour Specials land squarely in the afternoon, before dinner service takes over. You can settle into Hideout: Waikiki for craft cocktails and small bites while the space still feels bright, breezy, and live with conversation. Nightly live entertainment comes later, so this deal works best as a laid-back daytime pause. Visitors staying nearby often pair it with a Waikiki package choice for easy planning before an evening luau. If you want to keep the tasting theme going after drinks, Oahu also offers coffee, chocolate, and pineapple tours as easy day trips. Even Pork belly can wait for the next decision. For now, just remember 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, and you won’t miss it again. If you’re heading out on a Waikiki evening plan afterward, remember that sunset times shift by season, with winter arriving earlier and summer light lasting longer.

What to Order From the Hideout Happy Hour Menu
Once you’ve made the happy hour window, start with the signature Mai Tai burger and a Mai Tai, because that pairing feels like the house introduction. At Hideout in Laylow Waikiki on Kuhio Ave, the wagyu beef patty comes with American cheese, house sauce, and fries. Then branch out. Order crispy karaage-style fried chicken with togarashi, lemon, and furikake buttermilk dip. Add wonton poke tacos with ahi, avocado, and yuzu. For snacky bites, get truffle garlic fries or crispy pork belly glazed sweet soy with brussels sprouts and macadamia nuts. Kauai shrimp dumplings arrive under yuzu chili butter and sweet chili. Near the fire pits, you’ll see why this award-winning happy hour keeps regulars curious. Oahu is also known for guided turtle-watching tours, which make a memorable add-on before an evening back in Waikiki. For another Oahu outing, Kaneohe boat rentals are a popular way to reach the sandbar before heading back to Waikiki. Ask to know of our specials, not Live Music. If you’re planning a beach day before dinner, remember that snack stand reality can be limited at places like Hanauma Bay.
Can You Stay for Live Music at Hideout?
If the Mai Tai and burger make you want to keep your seat, you can. Hideout rolls from happy hour straight into live music, so your Pau Hana can turn into a full evening. Daily specials run from 1 to 5 PM, and the nightly set starts at 7 and plays until 10. On Friday and Saturday, DJs join the lineup, and that gives Hideout the pulse you want from rooftop bars after dark. Like choosing between a dinner cruise and a sunset sail, it helps to decide whether you want a relaxed drink-and-view moment or a fuller night out. A sunset boat cruise can also come down to package options, timing, and picking the best seats for the view. You can watch the light soften over Waikiki, feel trade winds move through the room, and hear the tempo shift as glasses clink. If you want to keep the night going after the set, a quick plan for Waikiki Comedy Club can turn one Waikiki outing into a two-stop evening. Unlike deciphering site uses, cookie preferences, or necessary cookies online, this flow feels simple. Order another drink, settle in, and let Hideout handle the soundtrack for tonight.

How Hideout Seating and Fire Pit Reservations Work
At Hideout, seating feels like part rooftop lounge and part beach day dream, with open-air tables and cozy sandy-bottom fire pits set up for groups who want to claim a corner of the night.

You can make reservations in advance through Hideout at 2299 Kuhio Ave., and that’s smart if you want a specific setup.
