The Laylow Waikiki — eat & drink

Eat & drink

Hideout serves island-inspired plates and craft cocktails on a breezy outdoor deck overlooking Kūhiō Avenue.

The neighborhood

Located on Kūhiō Avenue, the property sits beside the International Market Place and short blocks from Waikiki Beach.

“This one leans hard into Waikiki’s mid-century heritage, evoking the glamour of the era when Hawaii was just about as exotic an escape as most Americans could ever hope to see.”
