Couldn’t comment on the food because we didn’t order any, but the Hennessy was the cheapest on that street. Great atmosphere and great music. Bathroom was surprisingly clean for a bar.

Manifest is conveniently located in the Arts District/Chinatown Honolulu and is the best of its kind. During the evening, it is a cocktail bar & night club, and during the day it's a cafe with delicious coffee & breakfast menu and lots of working space. I love the atmosphere of both, and recommend to try this gem out if you haven't already!

Great drinks, Thursday night is great if you're looking for trivia and/or karaoke.

Really good drinks! Reminded me of some from back in California. The space was clean, the bartender was friendly and she made the drinks good. I had a Mai Tai while my wife had a Tito's and sprite with lime. I would definitely go back to try out more drinks. My wife said she would go back for some coffee and they do make coffee drinks as well.

Great spot with excellent drinks. Live music is a huge plus. The Irish coffee is so delicious and they can make it vegan!

Go here on second Friday. I wouldn’t say the cocktails or service are standout but the vibe and atmosphere of this place feels like a muted, dark, soulful and renaissance mashup of a dive and a lounge. This musician’s voice was so unexpected and sultry that I had to follow up and do a deep dive into who he was. Instant lifelong fan, 11/10 highly recommend if for nothing but the music scene alone! Also they serve coffee during daytime business hours.

Vibe is chill and cool music - bar offers variety; friends mentioned the food is good. Like the people and DJ - a great place to listen to music, chill with friends. Plus, local talent from spoken word and musicians perform here first Monday of the month and a wonder pool room open nightly for those who love to play. Great talents like Poetic Voice of the Street and Fyah Empress Stone and more greats... must visit Manifest!!
