The Law

In certain Honolulu County jurisdictions, bars and venues cannot allow patrons to dance unless the establishment holds a specific permit and has a designated, illuminated dance floor. This rule stems from restrictive mid-century liquor commission guidelines aimed at controlling rowdy nightlife behavior. If the music moves you outside the designated box, the bouncer might tell you to sit down.
