HUSH Bar

Love the soju. Love the new food menu too. me and my Friends went on a slow night which was great.

This is the best karaōke bar! The owner is really nice! He takes care of his customers! All the workers here really care and watch over everyone and checks up on everyone! It has a wonderful environment that can either be party mode or chill mode! It’s a great place to hangout with your friends! ASK FOR ALLYSON AND SCOTTY!

Happy hour specials. Had the sochu here. It was OK. Place is comfortable. There are karaōke rooms in the back. There’s a food menu but we didn’t eat here.

We didn’t know what to expect when coming in here but it was a great way to kick off the night. The music was really good and Scotty the bartender made it awesome. Try his olos it is a super tasty shot. Also he hooked us up with perfect water which saved us from hangovers following a beer festival. We’ll be back!

Karaōke room, there’s also darts. The food is pretty good for pupu. Very friendly atmosphere, no drama here. Would def recommend and come back!

The renovated space is very nice. The dart boards and the décor give off a modern feel. They don’t look completely done yet, because there’s a unused tv in front of the specials. The bathrooms are amazing. Brand new and super clean.
I had a grilled cheese and tomato soup. I enjoyed the grilled cheese. I think the soup was out of a condensed can. My friend had the dynamite chicken. It was amazing! I can’t rave enough about the chicken. They accidentally made two orders and we did not complain. We finished both orders. I will return for that.
There wad no wait staff. We were there early, so there be one later in the evening. It was a little inconvenient having to keep going to the bar. Eventually the bartender started to come to us. Overall it was pretty good. I can’t wait to return.

Shhhhhhhh HUSH bar! Driving through the area looking for this place was fairly easy. But in terms of the parking situation, that was a little rough. As I was scoping out the area, I couldn’t help but wonder if we were at the right place. I was looking more for a modern, trendy and kinda new joint. You know what they say, you can’t judge a book by it’s cover right?
I finally got the chance to meet fellow Unilocalers up close and personal and in the flesh, lol! I got to meet Jerrae R., Lynette N., Jeana P. and Doug M. My friend got dragged into this so he met them also haha.
As we walked in I was like whoah! Looked like a construction zone, haha. After dodging all that, we ended up in a karaōke room. Thanks to Jerrae R. for hookin’ it up! We got 3 flavors of soju, strawberry lychee, blueberry strawberry, and blueberry vanilla! Those are some killer liquids haha, so smooth! Pupus were BBQ chicken wings, deep fried gizzards and Dynamite Chicken! I enjoyed all of them!
Drinks were great and food is alright. HUSH is pretty chill. The vibe is pretty laid back which is something I can deal with. All in all… check it out! Wait hold up, shhhhhhhhh HUSH!

Located on Cooke street and Queen street. Use to be another bar, I forgot da name? Anyhoos the parking lot is small but plenty of street parking. Big spacious bar, lounge, karioke, dart, and Vap bar. They are renovating so if you can over look renovation, this place is a kool place to hang and have a few. Scott, owner was supah nice and welcoming. Late afternoon when we went so not so buzy. Food was awesome and their famous dynamite chicken was a winnah! Fried noodles was ok, fries was hot and crispy. Just stopped by for a few beers and definitely coming back. Beer was cold and service fast!

Tucked away in Kakaako this dive bar is a great place to get your soju fix and pupus. They have a good selection of soju and specials on drinks and shots like $ 4 soju and a $ 3 fruit punch shot. They also have darts and a vape room. Our waitress was super nice and interactive and although it was getting crowded she never forgot us. Just be aware that their private lot does get filled early and street parking is okay but sketchy around the nearby park. Also it does get loud after 1030pm with music and people, so it’s not a place to talk stories casually. Definitely will try again!

HUSH Bar is my GO-​TO bar when I’m in town! Don’t be deterred by the parking lot because there is plenty of free parking around the area! Their mixed soju drinks are super delicious, my favorite things off the menu are li hing lemon & strawberry shaved ice! It literally culminates those flavors in a glass! The music is always pumping and there are plenty of brand new dartboards for everyone to use. The lighting is awesome and there are also karaōke rooms you can reserve. The servers are super friendly and there is a lovely smoking area for people to congregate and meet. If you’re ever in town and Chinatown is just too crazy and packed with drunkies, go to HUSH and get that comfortable vibe on!

Don’t miss out on this hidden jem in Kakaako. The laid back atmosphere is perfect for pau hana or karaōke. The lunch fried rice was the shit and the owner is so hospitable. He makes rounds at the tables like an old friend and can sing like Frank Sinatra!

AMAZING! Food, drinks, service, atmosphere… All excellent. Want in on a secret? Scotty’s Olos are bomb! Ask for a round of those. We ordered chicken wings, garlic fries, kimchi fried rice, & mixed soju drinks and we are definitely coming back for more! If you are looking for a laid back, chill atmosphere with some awesome grinds & drinks, this is the chill spot! Scott takes great care of his customers and they play the right music at the right volume too! If we could give ⁶⁄₅ stars, we would!

Their soju drinks are really good, especially the blueberry vanilla one. The food isn’t too bad, the chili and poke nachos are good. The garlic fries are greasy but good if you’re drunk, I guess.
The atmosphere… it’s definitely a particular crowd. The vape bar is directly within Hush, but you won’t really be breathing in all the vape smoke unless you plan to sit at the bar. There are other tables and seating next to the darts/​games section. It doesn’t get too busy so you may feel a little awkward if you sit down at a table as it seems most of the patrons are friends of the bartenders or owners and can sometimes get pretty noisy. I would suggest coming with a couple of people rather than alone or with just one other friend or your significant other. I mean you can, and may still have fun, but I feel like it would be better to bring more people since it seems that’s how people do it here.
The female server we had a couple of times is really nice, but our guy server was kind of unprofessional and he seemed like he was in another world. He was drinking, apparently. I know its a bar but maybe if you’re working you shouldn’t drink… It’s almost like this place is too laid back. But if that’s the kind of atmosphere you like or you don’t mind that then check this place out, at least for the soju drinks (they got specials too). This is not an «upscale» bar but it’s decent.

The Garlic fries here are the bomb, but seriously all of the food here are so yummy. Oh and you gotta try Scotty’s olo’s…your know what I mean Mmm Mmm mmm

My students used to go to this location (10 years ago) and suggested I come with them… knowing it is a dive bar and not my kind of style. Either they were joking or whatever. It had a different name and was really run down.
Now– with a name like Hush — that sounds cool to me.
On a normal night though, the clientele is mostly single men. I saw one male/​female couple coming out of Hush but they also had smoking/​vap stuff with them. So inside was mainly all men.
Here is my thing– the staff is great. Very helpful. Gary– I think a head bar tender– is really professional. He handled 2 other issues with 2 other clients and then was totally willing to be as helpful as he could to help me out in my problem of trying to find another location here in Kakaako.
It is a quiet well lit place to grab a beer and chillllll out with local guys.
Here is why 4 stars instead of 5. If I was a 22 yr old girl– I would not feel comfortable going there alone. I also don’t smoke or vap so it is not specifically for me… but the staff both head bartender and other vap staff are great and helpful.

Who doesn’t want to check out a place named HUSH. Oooh, say it softly and slowly. Nope, not that kind of place!
Located adjacent to my office, I’ve been wanting to try this place since they opened but held off. I’m so glad my friends and I decided to try it because of their extensive soju menu!
Walked in, the first area you see is Cloud 50. Located in Hush is a small bar area for all you cloud blowers (vapers). Cloud 50 is well lite with a vast selection of vaping supplies and liquids.
Off to the right are tables, dart boards and karaōke rooms. It was a Wednesday night, no crowd, which was a plus since it was our first time. The food is okay, the garlic soy beans were REALLY good!
Oh my goodness, their soju is off the hook good!!! We tried every flavor on the menu, except for the ume flavor (yep, ume). All was fantastic. Scotty asked if we wanted to try an off the menu concoction, I’m down! Oh my, it was delicious and is now my favorite drink. He called it a pineapple cream, or pineapple dream. I can’t really recall as we did just try all the soju. If they put it on the menu, I’m bringing my crew every week!
The owners are totally awesome, they stayed and chatting for awhile with us, gave me their business card. Awesome experience.
The waitress took awhile to warm up, but all in all we loved our waitress. Love the vibe there, great people. Parking looks like it could be a problem. Easy fix, go early, lol! We will definitely be back. In fact, my friend fell in love with that place and booked a karaōke room before we left.
Check them out!

These guys at hush bar are awesome. Great customer service. Right when I come in I instantly feel like family. They build my atty perfectly. Loving it! Special thanks to Lacar for the awesome service. Will be back again!

It was a stormy night. Well, it was raining before we went out. We ended the night here, at Hush. And parked next to a puddle. My shoe and sock got soaked on the way out. On the way back, my buddy had his whole pant leg drenched. Then we found out we could’ve walked around the puddle. Good times.
Once we were done with all that puddle business, we checked into the establishment. It’s actually pretty well lit, compared to many of the other bars I’ve been to. Maybe it’s because of their choice to make the majority of the interior white, to better reflect some of the neon lighting indoors.
When first walking in, there appears to be some sort of vaping bar on the left. Well, this place is known as a vaping lounge. I was feeling quite happy though, so my memory is foggy. Plus there was a lot of fog in the place from the vaping. There’s a smattering of dart machines on the other end. Everything inside looks pretty clean and well kept.
In addition to being a vaping friendly environment, there are also karaōke rooms on the side, available for rent. The interior of the rooms have walls decorated with impressive urban style art. Just don’t leave any of your own tags. That would probably be considered vandalism. The selection of songs is typical, meaning they have the staple Journey and Queen songs for all you karaōke rock stars.
What really set this place off for me was the food. I had some amazing steak, that I just couldn’t get enough of. Juicy, moist, and tender. And the fries, while somewhat plain, had just the right amount of salt and crispness. Could also be that I was starving by the time we got there, but the food was great.
The parking is tight though, so be warned that you may have to circle a bit to find a spot. And watch out for puddles.

Here for the first time today… went around 630 pm so there were some other people already inside, not too packed though. This is a really good place to hangout, sing karaōke, and eat. Menu is simple and food comes out really fast.
We ordered korean style edamame, kimchi fried rice, and chicken wings. All were super fresh and delicious!!! Irwin was our super cool super friendly waiter. Everything we ordered was recommended by him.
The atmosphere is really chill and the vape bar is a neat option if you are into e-​cigs.

Stopped by here for Thursday Night Football and to scope this place as a future watering hole. Not good for watching sports unless you sit at the bar. The bar area has large tvs, but if you are sitting in the booths, you are hard pressed to get a good view at a tv, and if you do, the tv will be quite small. (sorry for the long sentence =P). Need more and larger TVs to be an adequate sports watching venue. Hush is not up for consideration for MNF.
But Hush isn’t billed as a sports bar, it is more a vape bar. I’m not a smoker so can’t really comment, but it appears to be fully stocked to service vape customers.
Overall, very good customer service by the staff. On this Thursday, we received great service from bartender Frank. On a separate occasion, my funky bunch and I crooned in their karaōke room, and again, excellent customer service from the servers.
At the old Queen Bee location, parking can be a pain especially if you have to hunt for street parking in the kakaako neighborhoods… But imo, the parking is not a deal breaker.
The food menu is somewhat limited. During the game, I was lucky that it was their happy hour. Cheaply priced, the happy hour portions were a good value. The food is a hit/​miss depending on what you order: the fries were fresh & crispy while I thought their nachos needed salsa sauce (pass on their nachos if you are hard to please…).
Overall, Hush is great for vaping, service is excellent, and food can be good… There is potential for Hush. 3.5 stars, rounding up to 4. When will I come back here again? Going to give Hush a few months to develop & mature.
