Dining, cocktails, live music: Waikiki has it all on practically every block. And sometimes, when you’re letting off steam on vacation, you want to carry on with the revelry beyond the standard 2 am last call. <br> <br> <br> <br> Certainly, the men and women working in Waikiki's food and bar industry often seek a cocktail or two after serving hordes of sunburned punters until that last call.<br> <br> <br> <br> Fortunately, Waikiki does have a few bars and clubs that cater to that late-night crowd. These bars stay open until 4 am. Some feature live music until the lights come on. The last call is usually before 4 am because it sometimes takes a while to chase out stalwart drinkers, doddling musicians, and people making last-ditch efforts at love.<br> <br> <br> <br> If you’re inclined to “fly it till the wings fall off” during your stay in Waikiki, keep in mind that, like most anywhere else in the world, more unsavory elements are out on the streets in the small hours. Waikiki is perfectly safe, of course, but anyone not paying attention to their surroundings can fall prey to morally adaptable people.<br> <br> <br> <br>  Wandering aimlessly around as you look for a late-night establishment is dangerous wherever you are.
