Tucked behind the main bar at Pint + Jigger, a new speakeasy called Hush Hush has quietly slipped into the Ala Moana nightlife, bringing a New Orleans leaning cocktail lineup and boozy slushies to those who know where to look. The room keeps things intimate and low-key, with barrel-aged classics, absinthe-forward pours and cozy booths meant for small groups instead of big, rowdy crowds. With the compact footprint, reservations are strongly encouraged.
According to Aloha State Daily, Hush Hush opened in May and is currently operating Fridays through Sundays, with doors opening around 6 p.m. and service winding down somewhere between 10 and 11 p.m. The speakeasy is listed under "Experiences" on Pint + Jigger's OpenTable page, where guests can lock in time slots for the hidden lounge via OpenTable.
From Harry's Hardware To Hush Hush
The room carries on a tradition of secret bars at Pint + Jigger that started with Harry's Hardware Emporium, the tucked-away speakeasy Dave Newman opened years earlier. Honolulu Magazine chronicled Newman's original Harry's and the secret-room streak it helped kick off in Honolulu. Hush Hush reshapes that idea into a smaller, booth-forward lounge that leans into New Orleans flavors instead of the more sprawling setup of earlier hidden spaces.
What They're Pouring
Hush Hush's menu focuses on barrel-aged cocktails, "guilty-pleasure" dessert drinks and a handful of New Orleans standards. The Vieux Carre runs about $25 and a Grasshopper roughly $15, while boozy slushies are priced around $16 to $18, according to Aloha State Daily. Lead bartender Max Kamm told the outlet, "we wanted to do a nod toward the New Orleans bar scene." If you have a soft spot for absinthe and dessert-style drinks, this is your lane.
Booking And The Setup
Pint + Jigger's OpenTable "Hush Hush" experience lists the lounge as available for parties of 1 to 10 and clearly notes that food is not served in the room at this time. That booking option gives guests a way to secure a spot in the snug speakeasy, while anyone after a full meal can still order from Pint + Jigger's main dining menu downstairs.
Plan Your Visit
Reservations are recommended, especially on weekend nights. Current hours, menus and contact information are available on Pint + Jigger. The hidden lounge sits inside the Ala Moana Hotel and is best treated as a planned stop, not a last-minute walk-in gamble.
