Tchin Tchin! Bar is a cocktail and wine bar at 39 N Hotel Street in Chinatown, Honolulu, Hawaii. It occupies the compact, characterful storefronts of the district's nightlife strip, close to other bars and galleries, and appeals to a crowd of local professionals, creative types and visitors exploring Chinatown on foot. Guests are adults, and the mood is intimate and convivial, a place for sharing drinks and conversation rather than dancing. The dress code is casual to smart casual. Music is generally background level, with curated tracks that suit the setting, and the bar is not known as a live-music venue. The drinks programme combines cocktails with a wine list and sparkling options, accompanied by small plates intended for sharing. Cocktails typically cost around US$12 to US$16, and wine by the glass is priced in a similar range. Hours are in the evening, Tuesday to Saturday from about 5:00 PM to midnight, and the bar is generally closed Sunday and Monday. No cover charge is typical, and reservations are useful for groups or for Friday and Saturday, when seats are scarce. The best night depends on the desired mood: Friday during First Friday gallery walks is lively, while Tuesday to Thursday offers easier seating. Since Chinatown becomes quiet late at night, visitors often use rideshare back to Waikiki, about a 15-minute ride. The bar's website lists current hours, menus and any private events, and checking before going is wise because schedules change.
