Overall, it's probably one of the best AA lounges in the network, as it's a joint lounge with Japan Airlines. I went there just as it had reopened in...

Overall ratings
This has got to be one of the worst lounges in American’s suite of lounges. The lighting…it’s so bring it is painful. The food and drinks are behind a counter and are very simple. Yuk.
What an amazing little hidden lounge. The official airport map doesn’t list this lounge as an admirals club, nor does the lounge review app recognize it as an admirals club at the time of this review. If you have time, check out this roomy and quiet stop, sitting over the Local restaurant, just to the right after TSA precheck checkpoint 4.
@credo, Thank you for letting us know that the LoungeReview app didn’t fully recognize this location as an Admirals Club. We have fixed the issue.
Plenty of seating with nice garden and apron view. Lounge was empty when we entered but quite full when we left.
One self service buffet with basic selection of food including 2 soups, fruits and pastries and non-alcoholic beverages. This area also features restaurant-style seating. Another bar is on the other side of the lounge. Here you can help yourself to beer, wines, spirits and other beverages. Better than the average Admirals Club!
Newspapers and magazines and free wifi – which was very, very, very slow. Also the lounge has a small area for kids and 2 PCs and a printer.
The Admirals Club at Honolulu International Airport is shared with Japan Airlines Sakura Lounge and is located in central lobby of the overseas terminal, across from central security checkpoint and Ralph Lauren retail store, on 3rd floor above Kona Brewing restaurant.
There is a nice garden view.
What sets this lounge far ahead of the pack is the outstanding customer service from the front desk staff. Without asking, they check your ticket and see if they can improve your seat selection. Fantastic!
Hot soups, pretzel mix, sometimes fruit & sandwitches. Self-service open bar!
There is good selection of complementary self-serve soft drinks, beer, wine & spirits. Snacks include soup, cookies, pretzel mix, and pastries.
WiFi, TV, computers & printer, children`s play area. Lots of English and Japanese newspapers & magazines.
