About this restaurant

The 2023 winner of the James Beard Award for Outstanding Bar, Bar Leather Apron was founded in 2015 by the duo of Justin and Tom Park. Inspired by cocktail bars in Japan, B.L.A. is an intimate cocktail bar tucked away on a mezzanine in the lobby of an office building in Downtown Honolulu. Make no mistake, although minutes from Waikiki, you will not find artificially flavored Mai Tais at this Hawai'i bar... Head Bartender and Co-Owner Justin Park's menu features his 2015 World's Best Mai Tai (which is kiawe wood smoked in a hand carved tiki box), signature Old Fashioned variations, and a healthy menu of whisky highballs, each with a different delicate flavor profile. Hawai'i's largest whisky collection (without a doubt) can also be found here.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Justin Park

From the OpenTable editors: The winner of the 2023 James Beard Award for Outstanding Bar, Bar Leather Apron is the ambitious, intimate cocktail destination from unrelated co-founders Justin Park and Tom Park. The ever-changing drink menu, served at a compact dark-wood bar, includes everything from takes on classic cocktails to bespoke creations like a Matcha Old Fashioned and the mezcal-based Oaxaca Soul, served with billowing white oak smoke. Nibbles like olives and hamachi crudo can turn a sipping experience here into a full night out.
