    Delicious cocktails crafted w quality, experience and pride. All bartenders do it right. They also check in w you to make sure you are enjoying your time there. Worth every penny. They have DJ’s that actually play real vinyl, setting a very approachable, and enjoying atmosphere. Reminds me of the vinyl bars they have in Japan. Great date night spot too, easy to have conversations with old and new friends, enjoying the tunes! Bartenders, mixologists, also on the turntables, do it right every time. Can’t wait to go back! Mahaloz EP BAR! You da best!

    Enjoyed a lovely night with friends at EP. Cocktails were well crafted and music was on point! Service was a bit inattentive. Jerky strips flavored well; as personal preference they could use another day in the dehydrator the fat was bit odd in texture. Great lighting and sound system!

    Quality cocktails and friendly attentive service. Marx really knows what he’s doing and is a fantastic bartender. Will definitely be going back next time I’m on Oahu.

    If EP Bar were a playlist, it’d be a perfect loop of smooth sips, bold bites, and vibey ambiance. Came for the whisky + absinthe concoction (HITS), stayed for the "pho cocktail" that lowkey stole the show. Whoever thought to put beefy broth vibes into a drink deserves a raise and a slow clap. Vinyl records spinning? Check. Mood lighting on point? Yup. Bar staff with actual taste and not just opinions? Absolutely. EP Bar isn’t just a night out...it’s a whole aesthetic. Bring a date, bring your crew, or just yourself for good vibes 10/10 would sip, spin, and repeat.

    Great drinks and service. The bar is cool if you are facing the front, but less cool if you are off to the left side. It could be improved decorate that left wall the same as the front wall (with backlit whiskey shelves etc) and block off the view to the waiting area. Just my two cents

    I have a phenomenal experience every time I go. It’s one of the most consistent places to find an amazing cocktail and even better service. Tyler and Jenn do an amazing job. 10/10
