Sam's Hideaway

Sam’s is Kona’s very own longtime Cheers… where everybody knows your name. The owner puts so much thought and attention into events like holidays, customers birthdays or food contests. Also they have great food vendors just outside their bar. Also if you purchase 2 drinks you can get parking validated!

Whether you are a local or a day tripper Sam's Hideaway is the place to hang out for good bartenders, well mixed drinks, and friendly patrons. Josh does a great job behind the bar. Friendly, professional and helps the patrons mingle. BTW, best drink prices on the Kona coast. You can't go wrong.

Had so much fun here! Went on a Monday night and jammed out until midnight! Super friendly atmosphere! The Karaoke Dj was extremely friendly and so welcoming! If you’re looking for somewhere that is chill and overstimulating this is your spot! Very reasonably priced as well which is a plus! 5 stars! Thank you for a great time on vacation!

Great to work with for our wedding after party. We had so much fun. Mike was great behind the bar and the karaoke DJ kept the party going throughout the night!

Best bar in Kona! Great atmosphere and the best vibes. I tried going to other bars on different nights but somehow always ended up back at Sam’s Hideaway. I went multiple times during my week-long trip! DJ Kyleigh was my favorite of all the DJs—she had the best energy and made the nights so fun. I’m already missing Sam’s Hideaway and can’t wait to get back to Kona!

Sam’s is our favorite place to go! The service is always top notch, karaoke is always a blast, and they keep the place so clean. My tab after a full night there is only ever like 30-40 dollars, I’m always stunned! We love our KJs, bartenders, and security guys. Thank you Johnny, Smiley, Mike, Mike, Micah! And thank you Jeffers for the amazing hot dawgs outside!

I went here for karaoke, and had to end up asking for my money back because they never played my song. It kept getting more and more songs placed in front of it until I ended up last in the queue and stayed last. Every single song that signed up after me got put in front of me. I waited almost two hours to sing, and my time never came. And you know what, I honestly believe it never would have come. I ended up asking for my money back and said my song keeps getting put at the end and the guy just smirked at me and he handed my cash back. I walked out and I’ll never go back. I’ll never recommend this place ever. If you want to control what music gets played at your bar then hire musicians. You want to force someone out rudely because you don’t like the song they want to sing? Well that kind of makes you a….. well you know what.

Followed my wife here for Karaoke. She paid to sing a song. She wanted to sing a song by Adele. For some reason the DJ decided he was going to keep her song at the very end of the queue and never let it come up. We kept looking at the queue and everyone else's songs kept butting in line. Totally lame. We talked to the guy and he didn't say anything. Just gave us our money back. No explanation. Not sure why we were discriminated against. Maybe because we were white? I don't get it. She's a performer. She's actually a really good singer unlike what you see at most karaoke bars. So we just left. Wife was super bummed.

So fun! Local man took us there. Had a blast! Great drinks and prices. Don't go to the restroom! You have to walk past shops with adorable clothing and stuff. Came back to bar in my new dress🤣🤣🥂🌴🐬
