The Row Bar

Always friendly service and good food such as sushi, poke bowls, kalbi, fries, etc. By day, a reliable source for coffee, espresso and acai bowls. Happy hour is 4 – 7 Monday-​Friday.

Cute bar in front M night club. Food so good and greasy and inexpensive. Best place to eat before going dancing at M night Club. Chardineigh good too. We ate garlic fries, buffalo wings and fried calamari. Taste like friend chicken lol. I hope any one reads my comments they enjoy it too.

The best bar you going ever go to. Customer service is awesome. You get what you want. The staff is amazing. Very friendly environment. I would suggest checking them out. Either you had a long day at work or simply just wanna hang out and enjoy, check out Jacob and the girls at row bar. Worth every penny. Also check out Cristie, the best you going ever meet. She is awesome in many different ways.
MYREEEEN was here.

Update: This place has overcharged what I agreed to pay. I called to follow up with their contact number after I found a mistake. No answer and left name and number on voicemail. Didn’t call me back. I had to go to the bank to correct what was withdrawn from account, fill out the paperwork, and had to get a new debit card. It was fixed but The trouble I went through… Highly unrecommended to come for drinks. Grr!

Great Service! Jamie and Jacob are wonderful! So friendly and helpful every time I’ve been here! On top of that they are good people!!! They found my phone last night and returned it to me! I’m so grateful! Thank you Jamie and Jacob!

Atmosphere: Great
Customer Service: Good
Great place for happy hour, a couple of drinks, a cigar or two, and finger food. Highly recommended.

AMBIANCE
Row Bar is a cool spot to chill if you are in the midst of walking or waiting at Restaurant Row. Sometimes there’s live music or sports playing.
DRINKS
The usual stash of alcohol. Nothing special.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
Turned off a few times: one of the bartenders would not accommodate switching the television channel to something our side of the bar wanted to watch; another time the bartender neglected to give me a cup of ice, she forgot about my side order. What happened to pleasing the customer?
PARKING
Parking lot has ample parking. If Row Bar does not validate, try to hit up another vendor. Otherwise, parking can be pricey.
OVERSALL
Nothing like Cheers where everybody knows your name. They don’t really seem to care. Just a spot to peruse through if you have to kill time or in dire need of a drink while at Restaurant Row.

I love Rowrow because the bartenders are really cool and on point! You can also smoke there. They have food and they play sports. The happy hour is solid and they sell cigars behind the bar. The vibes are always really good and live music every night… what more do you people want. Oh, you complain about the cigar smoke etc. Get over it. It’s a bar. They also have coffee in the AMz! Great place and really unique. 5 stars betch!

This was a nice surprise. I have to admit that I really hesitated coming here to eat but it worked out better than I expected. The bartender was extremely nice and the food was on point! I really enjoyed the experience!

Row bar! What can I say… This place is one of my favorite places to hang. It’s friendly and the customer service is off the charts.
Bri is amazing. Her coffee drinks and cocktails are epic!
I have been to many places but this place takes the cake for customer service.
LOVE THIS PLACE!

I absolutely love the customer service from the ladies behind the bar … Bri And Jo are always so pleasant — professional and they remember my order before I say a word. Thank you for the awesome conversation and attention to my drink needs ;-). I see them work a crowd and handle the customers with ease. The Row Bar is lucky to have these ladies.
A loyal and regular customer!

Favorite sports n cigar place! Great selection of sticksa and the coldest draft beers!

With a tiny bit of searching, it wasn’t hard to find the The Row Bar. An outdoor bar with 75″ HD screens and a full bar, several excellent beers on taps. Best of all, Row Bar professes to be a Cigar Bar. They sell cigars and there are cigar clubs that meet to relax here. Anyone complains of this should not really visit. It’s an open space establishment with a round bar that disperses the smoke efficiently. Serious. If you’re offended, you shouldn’t give a bad review for what this place is.
It’s a great spot for locals and they bring in local live music groups that are excellent.
On the last Thursday of the month, they invite a local cigar retailer that sells in singles and case lots for smokers.
Very amiable staff. The manager, John, is superb. He gave us super spots to dine where the locals dine.
I strongly recommend The Row Bar

Amazing food and excellent customer service! We shared the edamame, steak (mmmmmMmm), wings and burgers.

On Monday nights you can find me chilling here listening to some great live music by one of my favorite bands The City Boys! They often have special guests come up and join them for a song or two and listening to them is like having an aural orgasm lol.
Jacob & Cassie (the bartender & waitress) are also really great. Very friendly and on top of things. Order a dirty Bud Light and they’ll know exactly what’s in that drink.
They sell cigars here and you can smoke them right at the bar (since it’s open air) but please be considerate to your fellow bar goers! Also depending on where you sit you might get rained on (since it is open air)
The Row bar also has a nice selection of whiskey, scotch, and cognac if you feel like sipping on something special. Plenty of free parking and clean restrooms in the building. Unfortunately no sushi specials on Monday but the burger, fries, and chicken wings are all awesome!

I’ve always passed by here before way back when I use to go to the M nightclub but never bothered to try it out til recently. It’s an open air type of bar that sits in the middle of restaurant row. Happy hour is from 4pm — 7pm. It was on a Tuesday night so it didn’t seem crowded when I met up with some business friends after work hours. Free validated parking in the structure.
We ordered some beer that ran anywhere from $ 3-​$ 6 and some happy hour food that were either $ 5 or $ 8 depending on what was listed on the menu provided. We ordered everything off of the $ 5 section which was the spicy ahi roll, california roll, calamari, and french fries. The sushi rolls weren’t that great, it didn’t taste fresh nor was it flavorful. I should just have stuck with the bar food since it was the only thing that tasted good. Seriously can’t mess that up since it is a bar atmosphere.
I think there’s only 1 waitress that serve the whole premises so you may probably have to hunt them down if you want quicker service brought to you depending on how busy it gets there. It’s a good place to hang and relax after work but if you want a place to talk stories, this place wouldn’t be the best since there was live music going on that overtook our conversations the whole time. Its like we had to yell over each other to get a word in.
This place is filled with cigar and cigarette smokers though which I wasn’t really fond of since the table next to us was all smoking and it drifted to our area. I was shocked that they’re even allowed to do that considering the laws that banned any type of smoking in restaurants. I guess they don’t implement that law here. I suppose this place attracts more people who works in downtown that probably would want to just have a drink after work. The only reason I’d probably go back here is when I get invited here by other people, other than that I’d go elsewhere for happy hour.

I have to give this place some credit for it’s facelift. It fits the contemporary bar scene that is becoming more prominent these days. But aside from that… I wouldn’t go back there! The place stinks of cigar and cigarette smoke, and to top it off IT’S ALOWED!!! What happened to the no smoking laws? Heck if a smoker can’t smoke on a public park, but is allowed to smoke at a bar/​eatery… I just don’t understand the logic behind it? The cigar and cigarette smoke was so offensive that I didn’t care about finishing my drink! I wanted to leave ASAP!!!
The ambience was nice, but way overshadowed by the offensive cigarette and cigar smoke!
No way am I patronizing that place anymore!!!

Wow! What a couple of years can do.
The Row Bar is great in every way.
Service, Beautiful Ladies, Good Food and Good Drinks…
Cigars welcome.

Definitely not what you’d expect at all and that’s part of why I love it. The Row Bar (at 500 Ala Moana Blvd.) is a landmark in the middle of Restaurant Row. This is an outdoor bar that is cigar and cigarette friendly, free wifi. However, if you want to avoid the smoke, at happy hour 4 — 7 pm Tuesday thru Friday the M Club is open as well (same happy hour menu!).
The bar also serves, coffee, acai bowls (it’s open at 7 am), hamburgers, pizza, sushi and more. The bar is owned and operated by the M Club right next door. Monday — Friday they have live music from 5 pm — 7 pm.
I also love the fact that the validate parking (first 2.5 hours are free) and after 4pm validation is free thereafter. I also found the best way to keep up-​to-​date with information is to check out their Facebook page.

One Friday evening, Rachel and I were trying to find a place with a happy hour, and after searching through multiple happy hour apps, I found The Row Bar. I had no idea it was «that open bar in the middle of Waterfront Plaza in front of the M». that’s what we always called it. I also had no idea that they had an awesome happy hour!
We decided to check it out, and their happy hour prices are amazing. Drafts from 3 – 6 bucks, happy hour food, I was sold. I believe their happy hour is on weekdays from 3-​pm. No late happy hour though. We ordered some garlic chicken and fries, which was made in the kitchen inside the M nightclub. No complaints with the food or drinks.
However, if you’re sensitive to smoke of any kind, I wouldn’t recommend this bar for you. It’s unique because it’s an open-​air bar, but they also allow smoking (and sell cigars!), and although I’m not a smoker, I do think the fact that they sell cigars and offer cigar/​alcohol combinations is pretty cool.
One complaint I have about this place is that they’ll charge $ 1 for a glass of water «during nightclub hours». WTF IS THAT! It just so happened that The Row Bar is owned by the M Nightclub, so that part makes sense, but still, charging for water is pretty ridiculous if you ask me.
Otherwise, it was a pleasant experience and I would definitely hit up that happy hour plenty more times.
