Frommer's Review

After their own fancy kitchens have closed, some of Honolulu's top chefs head to this off-the-beaten-track neighborhood bar with TV sets on the walls and a back room with a dart board and neon beer signs. This small side street near Ala Moana Center is noted more for its seedy bars than for pesto-crusted ahi and gourmet Nalo greens, which makes Side Street Inn such a pleasant surprise. The grinds (that's local slang for eats) are fabulous, with no pretensions and a spirited local feeling. The barbecued baby back ribs in lilikoi sauce are tender, flavorful, and a steal at $14, and you can order 12-ounce steaks charbroiled or on sizzling platters. My faves are the blackened ahi, pesto-crusted ahi, tender fresh-steamed Manila clams in a wine-garlic broth, shrimp scampi, and escargot.
