“I’m a businessman who happens to be gay,” says Hula’s Bar and Lei Stand owner Jack Law.

In 1974, Law and business partner Bob Magoon decided to open a nightclub on a piece of property in Waikīkī owned by the Magoon family. According to Law, “I said, ‘Bob, we don’t know anything about the bar business.’ He says, ‘Oh, how hard could it be?’” More than four decades later, Hula’s is still standing. Many may remember the original location on Kūhiō Avenue with its iconic banyan tree. The bar has since moved towards the Diamond Head end of Waikīkī.
Law is also an advocate for civil rights for the LGBTQ community.
