“Grab a nightcap at Green Lady Cocktail Room, a low-lit speakeasy-style bar known for intimate vibes and imaginative drinks. Hidden behind an unmarked door in Honolulu, it’s the kind of place that feels like a secret you’re glad you found.”
— The Los Angeles Times
“Sipping cocktails on the beach is not the only thing you can do in Hawaii. You can also sip cocktails inside a dimly lit, atmospheric speakeasy inside the White Sands Hotel in Honolulu. Get there by asking for Room 8 or slip in through a door in the bamboo-covered wall by the hotel entryway. Between the talented bartenders and the ample outdoor seating, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better speakeasy than this in Hawaii.”

“Walking into The Green Lady Cocktail Room is like stepping into the Roaring ‘20s. The speakeasy is glamorous and intimate—it only seats about 20 guests—with dim lighting, vintage vibes and a mix of velvet and leather textures. The beverage menu is an inventive ode to the Prohibition era of the 1920s and early ‘30s. Here, you can sip on riffs of juleps, Singapore slings and absinthe drips. To find this hole in the wall, ask the front desk at the White Sands Hotel to point you toward Room 8.”

“Five of the country's top mixologists, led by head bartender Maddie Finnegan, are always on standby. The lineup of creative cocktails with delicate and complex flavors includes a wide variety of options, from light and easy-to-drink drinks to high-alcohol drinks that you can sip slowly, as well as non-alcoholic cocktails.”
