Could not enter as they require masks. I am a 64 year-old ENT physician and see patients 6 hours a day without wearing one. No reason for this nonsense.

One of the best and coolest shopping experiences I've ever had. Tons of amazing hawaiian shirts, truly tons and tons. However, the best part about shopping here was the owner who shared his knowledge of each individual shirt, brand, and style. He also had plenty of cool stories about celebrities who have purchased shirts here. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a hawaiian shirt. So many unique ones! Good prices too. I'll be back!

Dropped in for a teapot with my fingers crossed and lucked out. My mission was a success, but I didn't get as much of a chance to peruse because the owner was so helpful and attentive I ended up visiting with her more than looking around! Beautiful vintage men and women's clothes from various eras as well as antique porcelin wares from China and Japan. Hope to go back for a solo exploration again soon.

I was racially profiled here! I have been to baileys many times and always showed friends the place. But this last New Year's Eve day I went to the shop to buy myself a few shirts for my birthday. As soon as I walked in a tall white women approached me and practically never left my side the entire time I was in there. I was the only person in the store that was not white or Asian.

And it was obvious that she was keeping an eye on me and only me! If she wasn't watching me and Asian women behind the counter was. The caucasian woman followed me through the store for over half an hour. She acted like she was helping me but it was beyond overkill as nobody else was getting such help. She would watch me while hanging up shirts or cleaning something near me.

I asked my friend (of Asian decent) that went with me if he felt like they were watching him too and he had no clue that the two women did this to me as he shopped freely and felt comfortable. I'm honestly sad this happened as I did really like this store but now never want to go back.

Store is untidy and unorganized. Poor ventilation. Both on phone and in person staff weren't knowledgeable or helpful, one of them mostly looked at the phone the whole time I was there. Do you really need a vintage Aloha shirt? I suggest Savers, Goodwill, or Salvation Army.

Loved visiting this place after passing it so many times in Waikiki and always wanting to stop in! There is an aloha shirt for everyone here and two sides to the store as well, it is huge! The owners are extremely nice and welcoming, I will definitely be back to explore again! Just be prepared it can be pricey since many of the shirts are designer or high quality vintage, but there are many shirts around $30-$40 as well.

This is a must stop if you want to find an interesting Hawaiian shirt. The inventory is huge. Mr. Bailey is a wealth of information. Fun times. Highly recommended.

There's aloooooooot of things in this store, tbh it's almost exhausting. like a sensory overload. They have a changing room too which is nice.

This was one of the coolest places we went in Honolulu. It is floor to ceiling aloha shirts. You can find reasonably priced second hand shirts alongside vintage shirts for the seasoned collector. There isn't really much of a changing room, so I suggest you have a bathing suit or sports bra on under your shirt. I will definitely be coming back when I am on O'ahu.

You'll need a lot of time to really find the gems people told me were there.

I really enjoyed shopping at this little antique shop! The shop is small and literally filled to the brim. Two people barely fit through the rows of Hawaiian shirts. My boyfriend and I spent some time in this store. There was just SO many shirts. They Hawaiian shirts ranging from $10 - hundreds of dollars. I didn't even know Hawaiian shirts can be so expensive!

My boyfriend and I had a successful shopping trip at the store. We both were very happy with our finds. I bought two shirts, totaling to only $30! What a steal! If you want a Hawaiian shirt from Hawaii, go here! You won't be matching everybody else wearing a Hawaiian shirt from the ABC stores lol.

We called today morning, 24th of December as we k ow it's Christmas Eve just to ask if the store was open today and surprisingly the lady on the call said "yes we're open till 5PM". When we reached there at 1:30pm, the store was closed! We literally took an Uber from north shore to come to your store! WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL GUYS? If you're gonna be closed please inform customers of the same rather than lying to them for your own benefit.

The nice shirts can be a bit expensive, but if you're looking for something unique, you'll find it.

There is an incredibly large amount of aloha shirts, they're all very cute but quite pricy. There's also a lot of other stuff, like tea cups, jewelry, pins, and toys.

Love this place and visit every trip to Oahu over the years. Although prices have risen worse than the inflation rate in Argentina, it's always been a fun shack that causes smiles. Really can't recall who discovered it first, me or Tony? Doesn't matter. Just don't tell people or their prices will continue to sky rocket.

If you are need of an aloha shirt, this is a great place to go. They emphasize Hawaiian made shirts and have a variety from vintage to modern shirts in every price range. Worth the stop to look, peruse the tight aisles filled with shirts, and try on a variety of shirts to see what fits you best with your personality.

Incredible scope of inventory, from inexpensive to tesla stock price. New and used, beautiful vintage and some cheap shirts. You will find what you want and a whole lot more.

I guess it really depends on what kind of thrifter you are. If you don't mind dropping a couple hundred on used clothes, you'll probably love this place. Personally, I prefer finding vintage gems which you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for, but to each their own. I assume people must be willing to pay what they're asking here or the store wouldn't have been in business so long.

If you got the cash and don't want to search every Goodwill on the island to find a unique, retro aloha shirt you should definitely check this place out. If you're cheap like me, just go to Goodwill or Assistance League.

Bailey's Antiques & Aloha Shirts has such a wide variety of products for the whole family from Levi type I and II jackets to kimonos and WWII jackets! If you are interested in antiques, collectables and vintage I would highly recommend stopping by!

We love to find local antique shops, so we were anxious to check out Baileys, which was close to where we were staying. The store opens at 10 am. Parking is a challenge. There are some small spaces on the side of the building but the ally is impossible to navigate because it is too tight. The store has over 1500 vintage Hawaiian shirts. Shirts popular in the 70s and beyond. Racks and racks of shirts averaging $35 each.

So many colors and patterns. They took me back to some old movies. I have to say the smell of laundry detergent was a little overwhelming to me. There are a few antiques on shelves around the perimeter of the store. The prices were crazy high. A jadite Fire King mug, which generally sells for $25 or less, was $99. There was a silk banner saying Remember Pearl Harbor for $48, which was interesting. The clerk was friendly, but on the phone for most of our visit.

Undeniably the greatest selection of vintage aloha shirts anywhere is here! This place was recommended by the clerk at the Kahala store in the SALT center, so you know it's good. The place is small and jam-packed so tightly that it's difficult to move around between the racks of shirts. Luckily, they locate all of the plus-sized garments right at the entry of the store so bigger folks won't need to squeeze through to find XXL, 3XL, or 4XL. Yup, they've got some BIG shirts. So, the giant sizes are beside the entry, the smalls and XS sizes in the rear of the place.

I wear a medium, so I was slithering and sliding between the racks nearer the back of the store. There are lots of other vintage items for sale, too, like ceramic tiki mugs, statuettes, posters, Snoopy memorabilia, and even boater hats. Go figure! I bought some 'vintage' postcards for 2 dollars apiece that I found later at the ABC Store for half price, but that's okay. It was worth a few shekels more to chat with the clerk (and see Magnum P.I.) and enjoy a moment of pure Aloha.

A great place to shop for Hawaiian shirts in Honolulu. I expected more vintage Hawaiian shirts, but it seems like there were more modern shirts there to shop. Fun place to visit!

Thought Hawaiian shirts just came in one style with palm trees or parrots? This place is a whole other dimension. You name it, there is probably a Hawaiian shirt with it printed on. Head to the back and avoid all the modern reprints, half the fun is finding something vintage that feels like it was made exactly for you.

Similar to other negative reviews, this store has way overpriced shirts. However, the service is nice. You'll enjoy walking in, being greeted by the 1,500 colorful and amazing aloha shirts, smelling the musty smell of older items that haven't seen daylight in years, and then looking at replaced tags charging 95.55$ for most. Seriously, go to other locations if you want a fair bargain. Otherwise, you do you.

This place has some interesting finds but also a lot of junk. There are decent prices on old aloha shirts, but anything decent is wayyy over priced. For example, they have some lovely jadite coffee mugs for $24. Piles and piles old stuff of no value. The store smells badly, too.

This place is heaven for Aloha shirt aficionados. The racks and rafters are bursting with rare, vintage and reproduction classics, and new shirts for all ages. And kitschy tiki stuff galore. Your kind and knowledgable host behind the counter is Minako. She is infinitely helpful and patient to help both newbies and veterans alike who may be overwhelmed by sheer volume on sale.

She helped me from Tokyo visiting San Francisco and my significant other who is also Japanese (both formerly from Honolulu). I found 4 wonderful shirts at a bargain. I will be back on my next trip to HNL with more time to browse.

Glad we stopped here. Soooooo many choices! I had been shopping during our vacation for a women's aloha shirt, but unable to find a reasonably priced shirt. Most vendors carried men's shirts or women's dresses, but not shirts cut for women. Finally! Lots of good quality shirt choices and sizes. And the patterns were not the typical patterns found at the ABC store, Aloha swap meet, or Costco.

Aloha shirt fever dreams. There's enough aloha shirts here to put one on like every single person you know. I'm not sure why that's a relevant fact but to witness such floral mania makes it absolutely worth a stop. I also picked up a cool dietrich varez reyn spooner shirt that i'm pretty fond of (though it was still $45).

This is a weird place, guys. I don't actually know how to rate it. -Five stars for sheer quantity of aloha shirts. There are THOUSANDS. -Three stars for service--no one talked to me at all while I was there, and one girl who asked how much someone cost (no tag) was told "I'm not sure--you'll have to come back when my boss is here.he doens't come in until next Monday." -Four stars for price of shirts.

There are actual vintage shirts that are pretty expensive, but lots of affordable replicas. -One star for accessibility. This shop is PACKED. Like.it's hard to walk around because things are so tightly packed in. I'm not claustrophobic, but even I was overwhelmed by how tightly things were packed in there. All in all.it was an interesting place. And I don't know how to rate it. But.it was interesting.
