The Night Club Scene

Many are aware that the Night Club scene in Honolulu is not what it used to be. Traffic is pretty bad at night specially on weekends and everyone knows that it is going to get worse. People as a whole tend to drink less but our Night Clubs were all raised in the time when the sale of Booze paid all the expenses. Now some places in the Mainland are selling snacks and they have Juice Bars for those that would rather not drink an Alcoholic Beverage.

"The reason some people find it so hard to be happy is that they always

see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is and

the future less resolved than it will be."

Many nightclubs choose who can enter, on bases other than just age, dress code and special guest list. This is used to make their status as a nightclub more "exclusive". Quite often, there are no clear policies governing entry to a nightclub, thereby allowing the doormen to deny entry to anybody at their discretion.

Care will be taken to make sure not to hurt anyone's feeling in refusals and tarnishing your own reputation in the process. Many nightclubs will only allow entry by association, such as the former Paradise Garage and Playboy Club on the mainland. In most cases, entering a nightclub requires a flat fee called a cover charge. Some clubs waive or reduce the cover charge for early arrivals, special guests or women.

Friends of the doorman or the club owner may gain free entrance. Sometimes, especially at larger clubs in Continental European countries, one only gets a pay card at the entrance, on which all money spent in the Club (often including the entrance fee) is marked. Sometimes the entrance fee is paid by cash and only the drinks in the club are paid using a pay card.
