Hawaii's laws and regulations regarding alcohol service are different from one county to the next. Each county has its own agency that enforces the rules. Some counties require that employees receive bartending training within 90 calendar days of being hired. The law also prohibits the sale or discount of alcohol during happy hour. Employees cannot sell, deliver, or serve alcohol during these hours. If you are selling alcohol during happy hours, you will need a liquor license. Also, you won't be allowed to sell alcohol at any discount or at your own discretion.
You cannot obtain a liquor licence if you have been convicted of a felony. You can still work in Hawaii as a bartender. Employers will need to inform you in writing if you have been convicted of a crime.
