It may just be a rumor but I heard from 2 sources that 5-0 may be changing management in the short time. Stay safe this week.

Checked out green tea and it was very slow. Also the grand opening is postponed to sometime in April. Not enough women working. Funny how it went from one of the busiest bar to one of the slowest. Sandy mama will be missed. Hope she enjoys her retirement.

Would you care to share who the new management will be?

Noticed Golden Tree closed and 1010 open but no cars outside while heading to Green Tee. Official grand opening is the 18th and 19th.

Mmmm so I guess someone gave me the wrong info. They said they added another space next door. I drove by last night and it was packed, no parking. I guess Kalihi is the only water holes. Be careful guys heard last week a coward punched out a girl at Spot Lite knocked her to the ground and drove off. Heard he was drinking with a friend named MR. "D" that works at Lexus Hawaii. He was local about 5' 6 to 5'8" salt and pepper hair and has a facial hair. Mr. "D" and this coward drink regularly in Kalihi. Heard the girl required medial attention and Police report was made so its a Felony Assault - 2 which means up to 10 yrs in prison, fine. Hope his is caught and he can drink all he wants behind bars. What a coward to hit a woman he doesn't even know and his friend never checked in the injured person so he can be charged too. More than like a detective will pay him a visit at Lexus, that will not be good for him. The girl now there faces and there was video recordings so it maybe a matter of time. When bars get crowded and the alcohol is flowing like the old days there will be more and more fights. Be careful guys.

LOL. I walked in, scanned the bar and booths, turned around and walked out as I held my breath. Ended up hitting the other 3 places across the parking lot. Lilac & 5-0 were very slow. Honu was mildly busy with the usual staff in place. Jessica mama, Jessie & Yuki at the bar, Cindy and a few others on the floor. Passed on Vegas & Eclipse. Parking lots at Golden Tree, 1010 were empty so didn't bother. Bday party at 904 tonight and Green Tee reopening, both superspreader events LOL. Stay safe this weekend gentlemen.

More locals will relocate to mainland being priced out of Paradise for $$ Bar guys like us have less choices look at all the bars that have closed and redeveloped.

ZThe hostess bars will have to move or die as rail will drive up property taxes near all the stations. Already the rich / connected have been buying up that property. The good old days are gone. What's is next? Who knows but it doesn't look good for the average working guy.

SS.

Was surprised to see Sunny mama behind the bar. As always Nicky mama looked well. Same scenery at all the Waikamilo complex stops, no noticeable new talent. Splash had a contingent of Viet ladies and a boy if anyone wishes to partake. Heard from reliable barflies that Sandra mama has turned Camelot around with a combination of ex-Vegas kgbs and new talent. Stay Safe.

Mahalo for changes, if any, and intel. Off-topic, but seems to have more houseless / homeless gravitating toward bars (likely gathering the drips from beer bottles), 7-11 (expired food handouts), DonQui (various opportunities) and the like. I knew one guy who used to clean KBs and gathered empty beer and liquor drips in one can; go in the kitchen to find discarded food (he once was one successful painting contractor and big spender before the drugs / booze got to him); he stay expired already. Be vigilant and Stay Safe.
