Waikīkī has no shortage of live music to enjoy, from the renowned Blue Note Hawaiʻi to restaurants (Kani Ka Pila Grille) with daily lineups of local musicians … the greater Honolulu area tends to slow down during the week, but Waikīkī has something to enjoy every night.

One of the only restaurants on this list, Kani Ka Pila Grille in the Outrigger Reef has nightly live music. The phrase itself kani ka pila is a phrase referring to a backyard jam session. This bar and restaurant features local Hawaiian music nightly from 6 to 9 p.m., and is a great option for a relaxing night immersed in a range of traditional and more modern Hawaiian music. outrigger.com, @kanikapilagrille
