The District Nightclub

The male bartender with tattoos doesn’t wash his hands as free he uses the bathroom. so think twice about getting drinks from that guy. You may never know what kind of disease you might catch from that guy

What in Gods name were you guys thinking for hiring a DJ with ADHD!!! I sat there for a while and watched as the DJ kept screwing up song after song!!! Every thirty to forty seconds he changed the beat!!! Half of the crowd left the bar!!! The bartenders lost half their patrons!!! I use to DJ and bartend!!! The guy who was the DJ before 1200am was awesome! Please fire the DJ that you have for your weekends!!! You are losing money!!! We loved the club and the bartenders!!!

This is clearly on based on the fact that I received probably the best customer service from the security there the anything! I was the d2 for every one I bought and I was very under the weather. My squad was not ready to leave so I didn’t force them! I was extremely tired and have about 6 stop to do. But the security went out of his way to open up the vip sections since we was standing up all night and offered me a cool wet towel since I was breaking a fever at the moment it helped! I appreciated it more than anything r however the big boss came to me and told me not to close my eyes and don’t sleep! Rudest by far since I was closing my eyes the whole time before the fuck! Props to my uce! But the faggot who rude ass fuck walking with w tux

Came here on Friday night with a group of friends and we were denied entry because we weren’t wearing collared shirts. Collared shirts in Hawaii, really? When we finally gained entry, the club wasn’t even at 25% capacity, our round of drinks we paid for probably subsidized a majority of their drinks sold that night. Nice venue, horrible management, you couldn’t pay me to come back here. No wonder your club is empty on the weekend.

Tonight (Holiday Tommarow) 21+ Til 4am after party for Republik: Arty MotionMusicFestival. #YoungHawaii #YoungCalifornia

There’s so many great clubs in CA that I’ll try not to be biased on this one. My boyfriend and I overheard on the radio about this club. Free before 11pm on a Friday. We arrive little after 11 and no mercy given to us. We still had to pay cover. But besides that, apparently dress code for guys was a collared shirt. So we payed an additional $ 20.
On a side note, line was pretty disorganized. A check ID line that was on the opposite of the stamp line, and then to the ticket lady. Bouncers were rude. And I thought SF had rude ones.
Before getting in, I’m expecting a big crowd. Afterall, it got hella hype on the radio. We get in, and there’s LITERALLY only 15 people at the max? And no, I wasn’t drunk. Maybe I should’ve took pictures to prove it. This was the saddest club I’ve seen at 11ish pm. So trippy because the bouncer made it seem like such a big deal for a «dress code» when there was no one to care. My guess was he was thirsty for money.
One of our biggest let down in Honolulu. Can someone tell me where the nightlife is at?

Good music, nicely renovated, friendly staff, and $ 4 – 5 drink specials before midnight. Saturdays are packed around 12 – 2. I’d recommend going during those hours.

Dope club. I remember it way back from the Venus days so I noticed the difference. Same dance floor area but all the bars are new. Everything was brand new. I liked it. The bartenders were nice. I didn’t have any trouble getting a drink. Got there right before the guest list closed so that was good. I think it closes at 11:30pm. Overall I’d definitely recommend this spot!

Apparently this place is relatively new. Decent amount of people here. Drinks about prices about the same you’d find.

Alright, I’m not sure why this place isn’t getting the greatest rep because I see potential!
Hawaii night clubs are… well, not the greatest. We do have some awesome bars and hidden gems; but if you want anything near mainland clubbing status, locals and tourist won’t find that here.
This is where the District nightclub is trying to set the standard. What was once hole in the wall Bar 7, I must say they did an entire 360 with the interior.
4 bars, pristine bathrooms, a few VIP tables, awesome light fixture installments for those psychedelic light shows. This place really has great potential.
The only down side I would have to say is, 1) Parking. Having the republic located upstairs, and a bunch of restaurants around the area, one will find parking without a cost nearly impossible. They did, however, have a $ 10 valet service. 2. The drinks are $$$, unless you want to pay a minimum of $ 30 on your card, I suggest pre-​gaming the old fashion way, 3. The crowd, or lack there of. Since the District marketed themselves originally as a 23+ crowd, (what is a great concept but did not work out in their favor because they are now officially 21+)
So what about the crowd? The people here dress classy, it does not feel raunchy, if anything we have definitely graduated from Zanzibar days and kissed ghetto bar 7 goodbye with a hair flip.
Yet the classy-​ness was not enough to fill a dance floor — up until around 12:30−1pm were the party finally got started.
Though it wasn’t packed, at least I left without feeling sticky, my lashes in tacked, and my wallet full (because I, like most of my savvy friends got on the guest list and pre-​gammed before entering! — and we scored with street parking near taste tea!)
So if you feel like getting your sexy selves on, head down to the district!

Went there Saturday night not knowing that what was happening that night! Second time there and it was pretty chill! Music was awesome and had a great time with my girls! We took about 6 patron shots and well worth it too! Went to the same bartender the whole night! Our bartender, Tasha, was amazing! Very pretty and great attitude! Next, we’re looking forward to bottle service!

Amazing décor, sound, lighting and sophisticated atmosphere!!! The bar staff are super sexy as well as the bottle service girls

I give it one star for the nice remodel, but thats it. This is the only club that wont allow drinks on the dance floor. Not even a water. Plus, it was completly dead. I was with a group of 7 girls and were by far outnumbered. Also, the dj wasnt very good and there was a fight that broke out. Highly recommend you go to any other nightclub besides this one. I wont be returning.

I’m going to echo many of the previous reviews. In brief:
Overpriced — we had a big group for a birthday and got a table with bottle service. $ 300 for a bottle of stoli, Ridiculous! I’ve had bottle service other places on this island for less and had grey goose. :(
The music was good and we danced a bit.
The remodel is nice and well done.
The girl lounging on her phone at the entrance was just weird.
I also don’t really understand the 23+ thing.
Overall I think this club wants to be Vegas but it’s just not.
Meh.

There was a lot of hype surrounding Honolulu’s newest night club, and I’m sad to say it didn’t really live up to it.
We planned to head down on a Saturday, so my boyfriend Jake sent a list of names in our party to the guest list email on Friday morning. Come Saturday night, he still hadn’t received a confirmation email. We showed up to the club around 11pm still not sure if we were on the guest list — and it turns out we weren’t. Luckily the woman checking everyone in was pretty understanding after Jake showed her the email he sent, so we got in cover free. Hopefully they get kinks like these worked out sooner rather than later.
The first thing you see when you walk in is a glass wall showcasing scantily clad women lounging on furniture. I describe this to people and they say it sounds like Vegas — but really, it’s just awkward. They weren’t dancing or anything — instead they were just on their phones…
The inside is a big upgrade from the old Bar 7. The décor is more modern with a decent-​sized dance floor, plus three different bars around the room. There’s also plenty of room to dance outside the dance floor if you don’t want to get stuck in the middle of the crowd. I was happy we didn’t splurge for bottle service because the sections looked tiny and crammed right up next to the dance floor… I only saw one bench for a large party!
MUSIC: I was afraid it was going to be all EDM all the time, but I was happy to hear at least *some* good ol’ hip-​hop club songs that I liked. However the selection definitely could have been better, as I found myself complaining throughout the night.
DRINKS: Be ready to shell out $ 9 or $ 10 for pretty much any drink you order. You’re thinking, «that’s pretty average for a club,» right? Well I did too, until I saw them pouring my drink in a tiny plastic cup. The prices are just insane for what you get.
GO TO INFERNO WOOD FIRE PIZZA: Everything is better if you go through the door that leads to the old V Lounge. There you’ll find tall tables and booths — a great place to rest your dancing shoes without paying the price for bottle service. Here they give bigger drinks that are much more worthy of your $ 10. Get your drink on here, then head back out to the dance floor! You can also come in here to use their bathroom. There’s only one stall, but there won’t be a massive snaking line to deal with like if you were to use the club’s restrooms.
Honestly, I probably won’t be back. It’s conveniently located in town near Ala Moana and all, but the drink situation really turned me off — it’s not worth it at all.

Meh. All hype, not much talk to back it up.
I’ll give them credit for fixing up the old Bar Seven and restoring the insides, because the décor and decorations are pretty nice and modern, but there are just a couple of issues I have with the place.
First off, I emailed The District to be on guest list for Saturday on Friday morning. Didn’t get a confirmation email, so when we got there, we weren’t on the list, but I showed the girl the email I sent so she let us in. Not sure if there’s a cover, or how much it is, but we got there a little after they opened so we didn’t have to pay a cover. BTW, it’s a «23 & over» club. Doesn’t make sense to me, to exclude the 21 & 22 year olds; they’re the ones who are going to want to go clubbing and spend money. I know The District is trying to set a new standard in nightlife or whatever, but I’m not buying it.
When we walked in, there were about four girls inside of a glass box with furniture. It was bizarre. They weren’t really doing anything, just sitting around with their phones out. It was quite strange.
Like I said earlier, I like their décor and what they’ve done with the place, and how they have three different bars to get drinks from. From the looks of it, the bottle service sections right outside the dance floor were small. There was one party with maybe 8 people, and there was one bench seat, and they just looked super cramped in there. However, it looked like there was another VIP section that was a little more spacious behind the DJ booth.
Something that really cut the stars down on my review were the drinks. The cups are tiny, and they charge $ 9 for a well drink. $ 9 for maybe a 6 oz drink! ALSO, I ordered a screwdriver from one of the bartenders, and I saw her top off my drink with water. Right in front of my face! I was super blown away by that, not like I was THAT drunk! They also have a $ 30 minimum for credit cards. Insane. I guess they figure: With $ 9 drinks, the customer can’t only buy 3 because it would only come out to $ 27, so they have to buy 4 drinks and spend $ 36 just to make the minimum. Nuts.
I don’t know if it was because of the weather this weekend, but it got really hot inside too. There’s some fans placed sporadically on the ceiling, so we spent most of the night under one of those.
Maybe I’m getting old (only 24 btw), but the music played in clubs these days is crap. Too much EDM for my taste.
One cool thing is that it’s connected to the old V Lounge, which is now Inferno Wood Fire Pizza, so we actually went to that side for some bigger, cheaper drinks, and then went back to the club. TIP: You can be smart and use their bathroom if you don’t want to wait in line!
Honestly, I don’t plan on ever coming back here. Sure, they put up new furniture, remodeled the place, and it’s nice, but the drinks are really the killer here. It just isn’t worth it. Sorry!

The look is much better than the place before. However, the bartenders did not know very many simple drinks. I asked for a menu or to be told some of their specialty drinks that I have seen advertised on the media reviews and they told me they didn’t have any. When I asked about seeing the drinks on some blogs and articles, they said it was just for the media opening even the night before, not for actual service in the club. A little disappointing… then I asked for a Tom Collins and three different bartenders had no idea what that was… not a Gin friendly place haha! But to be fair, I guess most clubs aren’t. The drink was expensive and mediocre but most of the employees were pleasant and the music was good. So… it was an average experience. Hopefully the bartenders learn a little more, they get a drink menu for those fancy drinks they advertised in the media and when they officially open, the crowds will bring more diversity, and it will eventually be on par with the other nightclubs in Honolulu. Bottom line up front: good service and atmosphere, great music, no diversity, and below average drinks. There’s hope for the place and I hope I can revamp my review in the future. (But I don’t think everyone in the club was 23 or over lol no way!)

Oh my! What a renovation! This place looks fantastic! It has an upscale club feel with exotic drinks. The entrance area with the gogo dancer is very cool since they feature different artist! Must come back soon and get my dance bug out!
