Oahu is an island of about 1 million, so there is a salsa scene, but it's quite modest. Due to covid, most places closed, but there's a few places opening up if you want to learn, or want to dance (with masks). Also be warned that unlike other places.... Hawaii just doesn't stay open late, so if you show up at 11pm (as people do in other cities), the place may have closed 2 hours ago.

Salsa Events/Venues in Honolulu

|
412 Lewers St
|
Evaluation: Lovely restaurant by a pool, with a tucked away area to dance. They set up little X's for 6 couples to dance inside (with masks), and you can overflow into the pool area (for maybe 6 more couples), but it's harder to hear the DJ outside. Still a really fun vibe. Entry is I think $15 or "free" if you buy food and drinks. They have decent happy hours, and they also police the social distancing pretty nicely - if you don't dance on your designated spot the bouncer will say something. Fair warning, they seem to play more bachata than salsa.
Open: Every 1st and 3rd Monday of the month (call 808-923-8882 to check) 6:00pm to 9:00pm. Arrive before 6 to get a good table near the action.

International Marketplace, 2330 Kalakaua Ave Suite 396 (level 3)
|
Evaluation: Just above the Telsa store in touristy Wakiki (take the elevator to level 3) is this wonderful outdoor restaurant that has an amazing live salsa band every Wednesday. You'll need to call up (808-672-2097) to reserve a table outside (I think minimum 5 people, max 8), else you simply won't get in (it's a popular restaurant for tourists). The outside area isn't huge, you're kind of dancing between tables with your masks on. The music is great! Be sure to arrive 6 sharp, and you might even consider eating a little first or arrive early to enjoy the happy hour food ($30 gets you 4 nice tapas plates) and drinks without cutting into dance time.
Open: Every Wednesday from 6-8 (so only 2 hours).

|
Kapiʻolani Park Bandstand, 2686-2882 Kalakaua Ave
|
Evaluation: Gordon Walker is pretty old school, so text me for his number, but if you like free lessons and building community, he's the one that told me about the salsa events, and his lessons are pretty darn good!
Open: Tuesdays 5:30-sunset
