Splash Bar, the alfresco eatery within Sheraton Princess Kaiulani, recently launched a new happy hour menu. Happy hour is daily from 3 to 5 p.m. with drink and food specials; customers can enjoy the relaxing poolside ambiance while a DJ plays music every day from 3 to 6 p.m.

The latter features crispy tots topped with crispy pepperoni, cheese sauce, house-made tomato salsa, sour cream and jalapeños. Diners can also order off the regular dinner menu and enjoy a kamaaina discount on food.
Drink specials include Kona Brewing draft beers ($7), Princess Punch cocktail ($12) with gin and pineapple, and li-hing blended margarita ($12).
