The Dragon Upstairs

This is where to go in Honolulu to hear jazz.

This upstairs Chinatown club may be tiny — it was a tattoo parlor in its former life — but it is the place to go to hear live, local jazz, as well as artists nationally and internationally renown.

The Dragon Upstairs boasts a rotation of local musicians, including Honolulu favorite, Gilbert Batangan, the Chris Yeh Quartet, Gypsy 808 and more.

The cozy club also brings in DJs spinning Motown, funk and soul.
