Ginza Club

Saturday nights never feel complete unless Ginza is in the mix.

(Just a tip - Ginza is typically an after hours club, so the crowd doesn't usually arrive until around 1:30-2:00 am.)

I think that it's hard to find a club that has the right balance of everything - Music, crowd, dress-code, ambience and decor...But Ginza has it all!

The music always blows me away - House/EDM all night! No ghetto booty songs or glitchy speakers, just a pumping bass that is, sometimes, accompanied by falling confetti.

Next, and perhaps what most people talk about, is the crowd. Yes, the general population is Asians 21-28ish. But I've gone with friends of other ethnic backgrounds and never faced any adversities~

The dress code is always upscale; I don't see girls in shorts like you can see at Zanzabar or whatever. I would compare it to The M in terms of dress.

Lastly, the ambience and decor - the best in Hawaii. This club, when busy, almost feels exclusive and it does get PACKED. But the Ginza attenders are typically regulars so there's a always that thought of "HEY I KNOW THAT GIRL", haha. The bathrooms are clean, the club is nice and the VIP section has amazing couches.

Can't really go wrong with Ginzerzz, give it a try~

Oh boy, the crazy crazy nights I have had a Ginza. LOVE IT! This club is the all time after after party that doesn't close till 4am. Most people come here around 2am after most of the other clubs are closed. This means that most of these people are also wasted and ready to sweaty dance all of that alcohol off. Since it is a partner of Vice, I would say that about 70% of the crowd came from there and once again it is an Asian Invasion. Sometimes I even refer to it as the Asian Zanzabar. Usually the workers at the door are the same and if you came from Vice then you can get into Ginza for free. Just like at Vice, I knew a few of the workers and would easily get in, but I have heard the horror stories of people being overcharged. Sadly this is true and partially the reason I cannot give Ginza the full 5 stars. They charge different people different rates depending on if you are Asian, Hot, or neither. On the one night that my friend was not working a girl tried to charge me $30....wow. I have never even paid that much for a club in Vegas! But then my other friend turned around, saw me and just let me slide on in. Thanks soooo much! Anywaaaays...

Ginza is located in this odd alley between Ward and Alamoana, but once you go inside you are faced with blasting loud music and tons of people dancing all around! The music is SUPER LOUD! Basically just EDM and music I imagine you would hear at a Rave. I swear that on some nights that I have partied here I have spent the whole night without hearing any lyrics or singing. The dance floor can get so crazy and crowded that everyone is literally shoulder to shoulder. Do not go if you cannot handle huge crowds. Even if you try to step outside for air for a bit the little fenced off area is also full off people of which most are also smoking. :/ Still, Ginza has always been the club for me and my friends to rely on Fridays and Saturday Nights. Want to go out but you do not know where to go? It is 1am and you finally finished homework and you want to dance? Your original plans turned to crap, but you don't want to turn around and go home? Then COME TO GINZA! Dance Dance and Dance some more!

Asians everywhere! This place ALWAYS discriminates against me because I'm white. Countless times I've gone with a good ratio of girls to guys and the girls are obviously free but they tried to charge for $50 cover HA!

On another occasion, I went to an event at the Republik and the official after-party was here and supposed to be free with a stamp from the Republik. Got to the door and the tried to charge $15 cover. I laughed at the bouncers face told him he was wrong because of the stamp and left.

If my friends want to go to Ginza that's fine I'll go but I'll hang out outside and grab a bacon wrapped hot dog from the cart across the street.
