Thirsty Thursday
|
|
Are you bored of the typical Thursday at Ocean Club Resturant Row? Try this old/new sushi bar out for a groove. Named O-sake, it used to be formerly named Koi, right by Sam's Club on Kapoilani. I've heard they have one of the best happy hours in town, but tonight they are featuring "The Breaks" spinning hip hop, groove and soul. Free cover, 1/2 drink specials till 11pm, doors open at 9pm,. 21 & older dress to impress.
Don't forget the Erykah Badu show... tonight at Pipeline Cafe. 805 Pohukaina St., 8pm doors. Tickets are a hefty $50 at the door. You can attempt to buy pre sale at measley $42 here: http://www.presaleticketsonline.com
Enjoy!
