WAIKIKI, HONOLULU, HAWAII - Waikiki Beach Walk, Waikiki's newest lifestyle destination, has recently unveiled CW's on Lewers - a new entertainment venue that invites patrons to enjoy refreshing cocktails, daily happy hour and dancing and entertainment day or night. Quickly becoming Waikiki's newest hot spot for deep drink discounts and an exciting nightly party, CW's on Lewers is open from 11 a.m. to 4 a.m. and is located on the ground level of the Wyndham Vacation Ownership-Waikiki Beach Walk at 227 Lewers Street.
"We're very excited to be part of the Waikiki Beach Walk experience, and we are looking forward to offering island-style entertainment and fun to Hawaii guests and residents," said David Kenney, owner of CW's on Lewers and Coconut Willy's Bar and Grill. "CW stands for Coconut Willy - it will be our second Waikiki venue featuring a more upbeat club concept."
Owner David Kenney has more than 20 years of experience in managing Coconut Willy's Bar and Grill, another night scene venue located at the International Marketplace in Waikiki. Catering to the 21 and older Waikiki crowd, CW's on Lewers offers live entertainment and dancing throughout the day - perfect for pau hana gatherings or nightclub outings. The 3,500 square-foot club combines the Coconut Willy island image with the flavors of Hawaii, and features tiki bar decor, an expansive dance floor, plush leather couches and booths with wide koa wood tables and counters. The highlight of CW's on Lewers is the custom-made bar made with a mahogany and glass encasement which holds a surfboard - exclusively signed by former world longboard champion, Bongo Perkins.
Unlike other restaurants or nightclubs, CW's on Lewers has no cover charge and allows its guests to bring in their own snacks to enjoy with friends. CW's on Lewers also caters to sports aficionados - flat screen televisions are placed throughout the club so that guests can watch sporting events.
"We're excited to offer this fun, new concept to our guests; it'll be the first-of-its-kind at Waikiki Beach Walk," said Conchita Malaqui, general manager of Waikiki Beach Walk. "CW's on Lewers will play a dominant role in providing both visitors and residents with even more variety of entertainment options and a great place to gather day or night, which will compliment all our other tenants."
CW's on Lewers offers an exciting party, whether day or night, with dancing to the Billboard's top 40 hits and premier lineup of entertainment:
* Rotating weekly is a schedule of Hawaii's most popular and up and coming classic and hard
rock 'n' roll bands playing live.
* Nightly from midnight to 4 a.m., resident DJ Kutmaster Spaz spins hip hop hits from the 80s, 90s and today.
* Sundays from 8 p.m. to midnight, Taja, one of Hawaii's premier rock 'n' roll bands, entertains patrons.
CW's on Lewers also offers a treat for every palate:
· Pints of ice cold draft Steinlager for $3.
· Daily happy hour from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. featuring specialty mai tais and domestic bottled beers for $3.50, and a variety of specialty drinks alternating daily at reduced prices.
· A wide variety of domestic and imported beers, Chimays, contemporary cocktails and an impressive wine selection.
· Guests at CW's on Lewers will also enjoy a variety of exclusive cocktails including "The Coconut Willy," a specialty drink with guava juice, rum and 7-Up served in a large coconut.
