Advertiser Staff

The Ocean Club has been named to the Editors' Choice Top 100 bars and clubs in the United States for 2007 by Nightclub & Bar Magazine.

It is the lone nightclub in Hawai'i to make the list.

The nightclubs and bars selected by the magazine's editors will be honored with a special party at the Nightclub & Bar/Beverage Retailer Beverage and Food Convention & Trade Show in Las Vegas, Mar. 4 through Mar. 7.

Nightclubs and bars were chosen based on a number of criteria, including annual revenues, marketing and advertising effectiveness, promotional expertise, uniqueness to market, food and beverage programs and more.

The editors' choice list includes a mixture of clubs, neighborhood bars, sports bars, family-oriented venues and more.

The following bars and clubs, listed in alphabetical order, made the Editors' Choice Top 100 for 2007. The city designated for each is the city in which it is located, or, if the concept has multiple locations, the city of its first location.
