Karaoke in Side: The Definitive Night-Out Guide (2026)

Every holiday needs one night that gets retold for years. Museum visits do not do it. Beach days blur together. But the night your quietest friend took the microphone and destroyed a power ballad in front of a Side terrace? Immortal.

We are Hawaii Restaurant & Karaoke Bar — the karaoke is in the name, on the Google listing, and on this stage since 2000. Here is how the night works.

The anatomy of a karaoke night

1. Dinner first. Nobody sings well hungry — steak, pizza, Turkish grill, the full kitchen runs late.
2. The courage course. A cocktail — the Long Island Ice Tea has launched a thousand debuts. (Kids get Spider Man and Barbie cocktails; their debuts come earlier and cuter.)
3. The songbook. Ask for it early, decide slowly. English classics, German singalongs, Scandinavian anthems, Turkish pop — a Side crowd is international, and the book matches.
4. The moment. First-timers, pick a song the room knows — when the crowd carries the chorus, nerves dissolve.

Families early, legends late

Early evening is family karaoke — kids singing cartoons, parents filming, grandparents claiming they will not sing (they sing). As the night deepens, the playlist matures with the crowd, and by midnight the terrace is one large backing choir. We pour until 02:00.

Karaoke survival tips

• Book a table if your group has singing ambitions — stage-adjacent seats go fast in season. Reserve here.
• Duets defeat stage fright. Drag a friend; blame is shareable.
• Know your range. The song you sing in the shower is one key higher than the song you can sing on a stage. Choose accordingly.
• Celebrate someone? Birthdays get the room's full attention here — tell us when you book.
