Honolulu Liquor Commission

Came here to get my liquor licenses and take the server training class. I was kinda nervous at first but the staff was very welcoming and friendly.
The tests were very easy! They first give you a review sheet thats basically whats on the test. Its a bunch of questions that are common sense. Its pretty easy!
The class is about 2hours so make sure you eat breakfast! And good luck with parking though haha.

This place is easy to find. Not crowded for 8:45am when they open & right off the elevator. The lady who helped me was very nice & helpful. She even let me retake my picture cuz I didn’t like the first one. She showed it to me & I was like, «eew!» & she must have really good hearing cuz after that, she said, «you can take it again you know?» Love her. too bad I didn’t catch her name. When she looked up the bar I was gonna work at, she saw they didn’t close till 4am, she told me to be careful! really good people that work here. She was also very informative in letting me know that when I come back, I just need to show my ID. Not sure where or how much the parking is, but I did see a parking structure across the lobby. I parked by my fiancé’s job & walked. it was only 2 blocks away but it felt shorter.

Totally dreaded that we had to take a test on it… but Shirley explained it clearly throughout the class. She even went through a «review» on it. Which basically is the questions on the test. Learned a lot and went into work with confidence.

Parking SUCKS, i was driving around in circles for a long time before i found a parking. Whether or not they get good reviews or not, they will still make money. People need their liquor comm cards, and businesses need their liquor licenses.
PROS:
Office staff are always so friendly and helpful
Never a line to get a card
CONS:
Blue card classes are so darn early in the morning
did i mention PARKING SUCKS

Well I was told I had to get my manager card. BOO! But anyways after putting it off for three weeks I was finally forced to go get my card. Here are some tips
DO NOT PARK IN THE STRUCTURE. It is super expensive try to find street parking and bring change for the meter. They will give you time to feed it.
COME EARLY. They close the doors at 8:30am exactly.
This class is boring but atleast the instructor goes through it quickly. Just remember to bring all the proper paper work that you need or you’ll have to go back again a different day. It’s kind of hard to find this place just make sure you look at the address. I’m so glad I don’t have to come here again for four years.

I’ve been coming here for the past 10 years and the service is always great! If you’re just picking up your «yellow card» the lines are always fast and the ladies at the desk are so helpful. It’s $ 10 for the card. Bring cash to make the transaction quick (plus, I’m not sure if they take credit/​debit cards).
I park on the street, ’cause you’re just in and out in 10 minutes. Office is on the 6^th floor.
