Waikiki's premier nightclub in a boutique hotel setting, featuring resident and guest DJs, bottle service, and a stylish crowd. Addiction hosts weekly themed nights and draws a mix of young professionals and visitors.
Addiction Nightclub at The Modern Honolulu is Waikiki's most prominent purpose-built nightclub, occupying a dedicated venue inside the boutique hotel at 1775 Ala Moana Boulevard in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii. Operating Thursday through Saturday from 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM, the club concentrates its programming into three peak nights rather than spreading across the full week, creating a reliably high-energy environment on each operating evening.
The interior reflects the hotel's design-forward aesthetic -- dark, minimal, and deliberately fashionable -- with a central dancefloor, an elevated DJ booth, and modular booth seating that shifts for different events. Sound and lighting production are professional-grade for Hawaii's nightlife scene. The crowd is a mix of young professionals aged 22 to 35, hotel guests, and visitors who have specifically sought out the island's premier club experience. The dress code is enforced as smart casual: no flip flops, no board shorts, and presentable footwear is expected. The atmosphere skews toward fashion-conscious rather than Hawaiian casual.
Music programming centers on house, EDM, and top-40 remixes delivered by resident and visiting DJs. Weekly themed nights rotate through the season -- current schedules are published on the venue's social media. Bottle service is available and popular, with packages typically beginning around $300 to $500 minimum spend for a reserved table. The cover charge runs approximately $20 per person at the door, and lines form from 10:30 PM onward on Fridays and Saturdays.
The drinks programme is hotel-level premium -- craft cocktails, premium spirits, and full bar service with cocktails priced in the $16 to $22 range. No food service operates during club hours, so dining at The Modern Honolulu restaurant before the club opens is advisable. Guest-list access is occasionally available through the venue's social media promotions, which can reduce or waive the door charge.
