Inside: The O Lounge

The 18+ rule

On Wednesday and Saturday, The O Lounge is 18+, and on Friday it's 21+. It's getting rare to find an 18+ nightclub that serves alcohol too, but The O Lounge plays it safe, with tight security and fast crackdowns on underage drinking. Nguyen admits there are a lots of headaches associated with hosting an 18+ club, but it pays off every week, since there aren't enough venues in Honolulu that cater to the younger crowd.
