As a young professional in Hawaii, I like to be in the business scene. Some may call it the life of a business socialite, when your Monday through Friday is typically filled with daily businesses lunches and after-work dinner gatherings.  

I've singled out some of my favorites here, including great business lunch locations and popular pau hana restaurants and bars. My two rules when making this list: The places should be in Honolulu, and the restaurants should be large enough that you won't be turned away if you don't make a reservation. 

My favorites are in no particular order, except at the end of this gallery, where I included my pick for the best place for a business lunch and the best place for pau hana dinner.
