For more than 40 years, Hy’s Steak House in Waikiki has offered an ele- gant fine-dining experience, known for its tender steaks cooked over Hawaiian kiawewood.Now,undernewleadbartender, Yukie Aizawa, the restaurant has a new bar program for guests to indulge in.
“Hy’s has always been a staple of steak- house classics, like our superb whiskey and brandy collection featuring Macallan 25 or Louis XIII. Now, we also have fun and innova- tive new cocktails to accompany any part of the meal,” states Ariana Tsuchiya, corporate manager and sommelier.
Smoke & Bitters ($25) was inspired by the ambiance of Hy’s library room and the feeling of relaxing with a cigar after a long working day. It features Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao,
Averna Amaro, and bitters and is served ta- bleside with mesquite smoke – rousing warm notes of coffee while also complementing the restaurant’s famous steaks.
Trevor’s Endeavor ($18) was named after a birthday boy with a prince charming look whowantedanot-too-sweetdrink.Thebeau- tiful beverage macerates fresh strawberries with Cîroc Vodka, cognac, and sparkling wine and pairs well with chilled oysters.
For an aperitif or to complement steaks, try the Tanaka 1789 x Chartier Sake ($30 glass, $150 bottle). Meticulously crafted at the Tanaka Shuzo brewery in Miyagi, Japan, the luxury blend creates a harmony of fla- vors, awakening taste buds with a unique natural acidity.
The bar and lounge accepts walk-ins; however, reservations are encouraged, es- pecially Wednesday-Sunday evenings when there is a live acoustic guitar player.
