Duke’s Legacy of Aloha
“No shirt, no shoes, no service” signs are nowhere’s at Duke’s Waikiki’s barefoot bar. How else are you supposed to feel the sand between your toes when The Wild Hawaiian himself steps out onto the beach every Sunday, guitar in hand, to bring the authentic Hawaii experience to locals and tourists alike?
“Having music twice or three times a day every day is really an important thing for us,” says Dylan Ching, general manager of Duke’s. With mainstays Henry Kapono (TWH) on Sundays, Maunalua on Fridays and rotating artists Kapena, Beach 5, Kona Chang and Vaihi on Saturdays, Duke’s mix of some of Hawaii’s best and most popular musicians brings in people from all walks of life.
