    If EP Bar were a playlist, it’d be a perfect loop of smooth sips, bold bites, and vibey ambiance. Came for the whisky + absinthe concoction (HITS), stayed for the "pho cocktail" that lowkey stole the show. Whoever thought to put beefy broth vibes into a drink deserves a raise and a slow clap. Vinyl records spinning? Check. Mood lighting on point? Yup. Bar staff with actual taste and not just opinions? Absolutely. EP Bar isn’t just a night out...it’s a whole aesthetic. Bring a date, bring your crew, or just yourself for good vibes 10/10 would sip, spin, and repeat.

    Great drinks and service. The bar is cool if you are facing the front, but less cool if you are off to the left side. It could be improved decorate that left wall the same as the front wall (with backlit whiskey shelves etc) and block off the view to the waiting area. Just my two cents

    I have a phenomenal experience every time I go. It’s one of the most consistent places to find an amazing cocktail and even better service. Tyler and Jenn do an amazing job. 10/10

    The special drink posted on their IG brought us in, the beef jerky and vinyl sounds kept us for another round.

    Went here for drinks after dinner on a date night. I’ve been wanting to check out this place for a while. Such a cool atmosphere. Drinks were amazing. Can’t wait to go back on another date night.

    Top cocktail bar in Hawaii. Great music, great people and conversations with staff. Jen and Tyler were amazing. Tastiest cocktails. Jen is pro, as well as Tyler multitasking playing records as well. Always tell my friends and fam - a must if visiting Oahu. Worth the spend, as they always take care and over deliver.
