Dragon Upstairs

Honolulu


Right above Hank’s Cafe in Chinatown, this laid-back hideaway with a sedate vibe and lots of funky stylized masks on the walls and mirrors hosts a rotating lineup of jazz, blues and folk. Occasional $5 cover charge. Try the specialty drink – the pineapple upside-down cake.
