One of the most magical and most historically layered bar experiences in all of Hawaii — named for the 1925 Charlie Chan mystery novel set on the same site, operating beneath a 135-year-old kiawe tree planted in 1887 at the Halekulani Hotel on Waikiki Beach. Every evening at sunset, former Miss Hawaii and Miss Hawaii-USA winners perform classical hula and live Hawaiian music under the ancient kiawe tree while the sun drops behind Diamond Head and the Pacific turns gold. The signature mai tai is the drink; the setting is the reason people return year after year. There is no bar experience in Waikiki — and very few in the world — that combines this much history, natural beauty, and Hawaiian cultural tradition in one place.
