Whenever I'm in Waikiki the first place I want to go
after we've checked into our condo or hotel is the Hideout at the Laylow.
Over the years Terry and I have been just about everywhere in Waikiki.
I have sampled many, many mai tais.
I have sampled many, many mai tais.
In my opinion, you can't beat the mai tai at the Hideout.

Yes, the Original Mai Tai Bar at the Royal Hawaiian and
the Beach Bar at the Moana Surfrider have awesome mai tais,
but for taste and value, it's the Hideout Terry and I return to over and over.
We like to sit at the bar rather than at a table,
because it's fun to talk to the friendly bartenders,
and we split a Happy Hour meal, usually the Mainlander,
which is a Wagyu beef hamburger with American cheese,
lettuce, tomato, onion, and a house sauce with a side of fries.
At the bar we can relax, enjoy our drinks and meal, and listen to the music.

Another favorite Happy Hour meal of ours is the Island Greens,
a delicious salad that fills a craving for something healthy.

Watching the bartenders mix drinks is entertainment as well.
Happy Hour is from 5:00 to 6:00 pm every day of the week,
and the bartenders serve up lots of mai tais and other drinks during that busy hour.

And if you're like me and can only handle one mai tai,
you can follow it up with a great mocktail:
Laylow "Virgin Style" Mai Tai."

There has been a lot rain in Honolulu in recent days.
That barely slows things down at the Hideout.
When the rain comes down, out come the umbrellas.

The Hideaway welcomes people of all ages and backgrounds.
It's a mellow, relaxing place with great food, drinks, and music,
and it has lots of friendly guests you can strike up a fun conversation with.
Perhaps we'll cross paths at the Hideout sometime!

I had planned to publish this post on Friday, February 24th
for Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date theme "Drinks."
Unfortunately, I decided to test my one mai tai limit
at dinner with friends in another restaurant.
I had two mai tais.
Not a good choice.
I made it back to our condo before the second drink slammed me,
and there was no editing or posting on the evening of the 23rd.
For Nicole's Friday Face Off I'm sharing a few more faces from the Hideout.
