  • Tip Rating:
  • Captain Bean's Dinner (aka 'Booze') Cruise

    Spend two hours on a boat cruising the seas just offshore of Kona, eating traditional Hawaiian food and drinking as many Mai Tais as you can down while the band plays the theme song from 'Hawaii Five-Oh', for the all-inclusive price of about $50. The drinks are kind of weak, but a quiet word to your server will ensure additional rum is mixed in.

    The servers - such as the fabulous Keauhi in the photo - also double as the entertainment, with a certain amount of audience participation... be warned. Drink too much and you're liable to be pulled out of your seat onto the stage, and handed a pair of pom-poms.

    A decent night out, the only downside being it starts and finishes early - you're back on the pier by 7.30pm.

    Whatever you like, although wearing shorts will make you look less stupid when they dress you up in a hula skirt

  • Tip Rating:
  • Huggo's had it all, a real good time to be had.... My friends (pictured) do a 'FANTASTIC' show every Friday night. This is a definite 'must see'! They (Hot Lava) are world class entertainers, and really get the place ROCKING...
    They also perform individually, most other nights. This place gets pretty crowded Friday nights, people passing by, cannot resist, they have to drop in... ;-)


    Very relaxed atmosphere, sit at the bar, or wonder around, dance, meet people, or whatever.....

    Casual, or 'knock their socks off' wear..... Jeans, shorts, whatever!!!

    Lu Lu's: Party Animals or just want to let your hair down
  • Tip Rating:
  • The most happening night club on the Big Island people from other side of the island drive two hours to get there just to party:)
    Located on Ali'i Drive on the waterfront. Best times to get is later in the evening, its the only happening club in Kona.
    Its a casual dress code, and its open to watch sunset and get the cool ocean breeze.

    Casual nightclub wear. Open air, Kona is pretty warm climate. Wear whatever feel hot it. Its Kona's hot spot where the locals and tourists mingle.

    Huggos: More on Huggos
  • Tip Rating:
  • Huggos... These guys were great entertainers... Once I became a 'Local' they would play 'Downunder' for me, as soon as I walked into the place... I thought that was a fantastic gesture...

  • Tip Rating:
  • Our night life is none existing.....a place to dance...bring your own squiz is 'Lulu's' and next to hard rock caffe is the bolliboll court and it is a game allmost every night....
    the most exicting night outting is the lava flow....2 hour south of town at the bottom of the vulcano national park it is best to start at arround 4 and wait for the sun to set...a magic show will start...we use to bring crackers and mashmallows to eat with a stick and cook it on the lava until 3 tourist fall in and .....die, so the park close the proximity to the flow

    good shoes, flash light and lots of water.

    Huggos: "On the Rocks"
    "On the Rocks" is the casual outdoor bar that is next to Huggo's - and it's part of the same business. Though they share a kitchen, it's more casual and youthful here - and the seating is less comfortable, too! You can get a burger and fries here, though you might have to be patient for your order to come. Service here is definitely "island"!

    Lu Lu's: Lu Lu's
    Lu Lu's in Kona town is the local bar that has TV's playing Sports and pool tables. The lunchtime food was and the dress was completely casual, as most places are in paradise. Apparently through word of mouth from the locals, Lu Lu's is really your best shot at what little nightlife Kona has. I still closed the place down with some buddies and had fun.
