Most of us know that a growing number of Hawaii's smaller restaurants are skipping the hassle and expense of obtaining a liquor license and simply telling customers it's BYOB -- Bring Your Own Booze. Serving liquor is standard for most fine-dining restaurants and places that cater to tourists. But despite the robust tourist economy, the number of licenses issued on Oahu has dropped from 1,445 in 2000 to 1,391, to date, this year. Insurance costs are an obvious reason.
Getting a liquor license is not easy, and there are a lot of businesses that just can't afford it. But in Honolulu, many smaller eateries clustered around neighborhoods like Kalihi, and all the way up to Makaha have opted for BYOB. In the Mainland some small restaurants have installed themselves in a large location, with a good sized dance floor in the middle. A large juice bar and automatic dance music set up at 8 pm to midnight and a small cover charge after 8. Similar type set up for a Dance Studio? Glasses and Ice free. Soda Pop on sale.
I live in Mililani and I am getting some information. Most bars seem to be pretty good. Beer selection changes often, kinda pricey but expected considering they are bringing in stuff from breweries stateside. Mililani people are not poor and liquor is kinda expensive. Their food is ok, not awesome, not horrible. Most bartenders and staff have been there for a while, at least one sign that they are doing things right. Parking kinda sucks but that is an Oahu thing. They are ready for a Dance Night Club either here or Waipio.

No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he
will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
