I’ve walked past Bam-buTwo three times without going in. Why? There’s no logical answer. I didn’t know what I was missing. F irst impress ion: swanky. The chic lounge vibe and jazzy tunes put a smile on my face and had my hubby dancing his way to the bar. Bartender Tai Stewart greeted us immediately and fi lled us in on the happy hour specials. Does it get any better than $3.50 mar-tinis? Stewart explained that BambuTwo uses fresh-squeezed citrus juices in a number of their drinks, like the Razzle Dazzle and the Sexy Bull, both of which are on the happy hour menu. The Razzle Dazzle, a combination of raspberry vodka, sweet and sour, fresh lime juice and raspberry li-quer is a sweet-tart treat.

The Sexy Bull is mixology black magic. There’s no way a concoction of vodka, peach schnapps, cranberry juice, fresh orange juice and Red Bull should taste amaz-ing (and a lot like melon), but it does. Happy hour runs from 4-7p.m. daily. Stick around afterward for live music on Wednesday and Thursday, or a DJ Friday and Saturday. There’s a late night happy hour from 11p.m.-2a.m. from Monday-Thursday. Thurs-day nights are also College Nights where students and faculty with a valid ID get happy hour prices all night. “We’re a great place to start the night,” Stewart said. Get a nice, fresh cock-tail when you can taste and enjoy it.” Soak up the chic lounge vibe and expertly crafted cocktails for long enough, and you might end the night at BambuTwo as well. Cheers!

HOPPY HOUR IN CHINATOWNIt’s another late Thursday afternoon, and you don’t have any classes tomorrow morning. You have four full days to fi nish your homework but not a thing to do in the meantime. Satisfy your desire for adventure in Chinatown, where you can dig real art and culture, all on a budget. PRO TIP: Arrive before 9p.m. and pay no cover anywhere.

BAMBUTWOBegin your happy hour bar hop at BambuTwo Martini Lounge + Cafe, which has $3.50 signature martini specials Monday-Saturday between 4-7p.m. Let their master mixologists start your evening off the right way with a delicious crantini, and don’t forget to show your UH ID on Thursdays for happy hour all night long.

SOHO MIXED MEDIA BAR

Meander over to SoHo, right around the corner. SoHo is great because they have two different rooms. One DJ will spin hip-hop, while in the other room the DJ will drop some electronic. SoHo also has a lot of themed events and usually gets cracking after 11p.m.

MERCURY BAR

Work your way down the street to Mercury Bar for some local fl avor. Mercury Bar has live rock bands, and they even have a live karaoke crew who will play your favorite songs while you jam along. The last time I was there, they had $4 Sailor Jerry, which is always solid.

ON HOTEL ST.Back on Hotel, swing by Manifest and its neighbor, the newly renovated Lotus bar, for the freshest local DJs.

BAR 35You can always fi nish your night in style at Bar 35, which has more than 200 beers and some of the best musical acts in Honolulu.

NEXTDOORCross the street for some heavy hip-hop or dubstep at Nextdoor. Climb the stairs to Thirtyninehotel, for the freshest music.

INDIGO

Take a right down Hotel Street and head toward the main drag, where you will fi nd Indigo’s, which has the longest running open mic comedy stand up in Hawai‘i every Wednesday at 8p.m. A bit further south is Hank’s Cafe and the Dragon Upstairs, which have great bartenders and local music.

WOMEN:

1. Lips: When women get aroused, our mouths get dry, making us lick our lips. If he sees you doing this, he’ll instantaneously think you’re a sexual dynamo.

2. Crossing legs: Lean into your man but not too much. Position your body so that your legs are crossed and facing him. This will signal that you’re willing to get to know him. Showing some leg is a subtle gesture that your man will fi nd ultra sexy.

3. Locked eyes: Pump up your mascara to draw attention to your piercing eyes. If you see someone

you like, hold his gaze for three seconds. Accompany this gaze with a smile and fl utter your eyelashes. He’ll be over talking to you in the next 20 minutes.

4. Laughing: Be natural. A woman who puts on a sultry persona will instantly kill his interest. Quit the sex pout, and go with a genuine smile. This will make him comfortable and willing to open up.

5. Hair: Time to bust out the straightening iron. Hair is one of the fi rst things a man will notice about you. It’s a fact that every man wants to run his fi ngers through luscious locks.

MEN:

1. The Smirk: When a man’s interest is peaked, he does a half-smile or smirk. Women will notice this half-gesture and accept the challenge.

2. Locked eyes: When on the prowl, gloss over the crowd until you fi nd a woman you are attracted to. When you do see a beauty, hold her gaze for three seconds and do the half-smirk.

3. Alpha male approach: After you’ve made eye contact, you are responsible for being the dominant male and walking over to her and

introducing yourself. Being assertive will show women that you’re a man who can hold your own.

4. Positioning chest and shoulders: Once you’re talking to her, show her you’re interested by positioning your chest and shoulders towards her. You can sip your beer and look around the bar, but don’t change your stance. This will make her feel secure and is a major turn-on.

5. Initiate touch: Be respectable, and give her a gentle touch on her back or lightly touch her thigh. Subtleties will go a long way.

and satisfying experience to get a dose of culture and to be inspired by local creativity. With a different theme every month, ARTafterDARK keeps things interesting and many people dress up with friends accordingly. Past themes have ranged from Heroes and Villains to the Beatles to monks making sand art, so don’t miss out on this culturally diverse experience. More than just a walk through a museum, it’s well worth the $10 to get in. There is interactive media, games, mingling, dancing and local food for sale, as well as bars dispersed throughout the venue, so if you want the full experience, come with a little extra cash.

WHAT SHOULD A GUY WEAR OUT TO A...

PAID ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT

SAM MERRITTADVERTISING STAFF WRITER

Dive Bar (Arnold’s, The Hideaway Bar, Barefoot Bar)

The really sweet thing about dive bars is that you can wear almost anything. Probably wouldn’t recommend wearing a tank and slippers, but if you can get away with it, then go for it. Otherwise shorts and a tee are defi nitely accepted as well as a hat if you feel so compelled. Jeans or khakis always look good, but don’t get stressed out over this one.

Nicer Bar (Bar35, BambuTwo, Kelly O’Neil’s, LuLus)

When you’re out with friends, you want to feel comfortable yet mobile, sleek yet agile. But mostly you just want to look good without too much effort. If you’re planning on rocking a hat, make sure it’s a nice fi tted hat or a clean snap back (not the one you go skating in every day). Any button up will do, as long as it’s not too grungy. Clean laundry is a good standard to go by. This goes without saying, but no tanks, shorts or slippers.

Nightclub (The M, Addiction)

Obviously, you have to look fl y. Everyone is rocking their best looks, the girls look smoking hot and you gotta be sharp. A solid-color tee can look really good, grab a black or white one. Collared shirts are sometimes required, so know before you go. Defi nitely no over-the-top graphic tees, and remember that hats are almost never allowed. Always wear dark jeans, never shorts. Beware of your kicks getting stepped on by rowdy clubbers.

Raves (Aloha Tower, Kakaako, Republik)

This one really depends on what kind of raver you are and how hard you like to go. A lot of hard-core ravers rock fur hoods and skinny jeans. Remember that at a rave, practically anything goes, so don’t hold back. A simple tank or jersey and jean combo never fails. Remember that you are most likely going to get really sweaty, so be prepared to either lose the shirt or embrace the grime. Accessories like a hat or shades can be a defi nite must. If you’re planning on dancing, know that your kicks will defi nitely get scuffed so leave your shiny Air Force Ones at home. A pair of Vans is a solid choice, and their bottoms make an ideal surface to get your shuffl e on.
