The Spy Bar heads
back to John Dominis


HEAD DOWN to Kewalo Basin tomorrow for the return of the Spy Bar at John Dominis. After leaving the restaurant last year for stints at Royal Garden and Waterfront Cafe and Cabaret, Soho Promotions returns to Ahui Street to relive the memories ...

The main floor features various deejays scratching wax until 3 a.m., and the Silver Lounge serves as the chill room with down-tempo beats and what's billed as "Silver Service."

Better bring a credit card -- or just find a sugar daddy (or mommy) ...

DID YOU get lei'd yesterday for May Day? Me neither. It's OK, though -- drown your sorrows with a Corona and celebrate Cinco de Mayo instead ...

The party starts a few nights early with Salsa After Dark tonight at Rumours in the Ala Moana Hotel. Latin Lady DJ Margarita, Ray Cruz and Rod "El Moreno" will spin Latin, salsa and merengue music, and free salsa lessons are available from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., if you're at least 21.

On Saturday, Rolando Sanchez and Salsa Hawaii present Salsa de Mayo at the Hawaiian Hut (also located at the Ala Moana Hotel).

Instead of offering dance lessons, Sanchez opts to bring in professionals with a performance by Los Amigos-Ballet Folklorico de Hawaii. This pre-Cinco de Mayo party is open to those 18 and over ...

If your liver can keep up, spend Sunday night down at Aloha Tower Marketplace. Cinco de Mayo marks the return of Rodeo Cantina to Aloha Tower.

Remember the Wall of Flame? It's back, along with the hubcap servings of nachos and Rodeo Cantina's "White Lightning" lemonade.

Have to work early Monday morning? Did Uncle Sam or Uncle Ben take a big bite out of your wallet last month? Then skip the party this weekend and check out Rodeo Cantina's Taco Tuesdays instead -- tacos, Mexican beer and well margaritas are all $1 until 8 p.m. Plus, parking is free at Aloha Tower Marketplace with validation, so you can eat, drink and be merry for under $10 -- or maybe $5, if you're a lightweight ...

Rodeo Cantina is located on the second level of Aloha Tower Marketplace, on the waterfront above Don Ho's Island Grill.

JOIN more than 40 million Americans next week and tune in to the season finale of "ER" Thursday on NBC. The episode, which was filmed on location in Hawaii, promises to put a smile on your face ...

Although the show's final scenes deal with the death of a main character, it's the music of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's "Over the Rainbow" that viewers will hear.

The track is off Kamakawiwo'ole's album "Alone in IZ World," which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's World Chart and has remained on the chart for the past 31 weeks ...

CONGRATS TO the St. Francis Healthcare System of Hawaii, which celebrates 75 years this weekend at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Coral Ballroom.

Call 547-6877 for ticket information ...

HELP SUPPORT the Makaha Canoe Club this weekend during a fund-raiser Sunday night at the Ocean Club. Local female vocal group Believe is scheduled to perform, and the ladies should also have copies of their debut album available for purchase. Doors open at 8 p.m. at Ocean's ...
