ROH §34-10.3
Teenage nightclub hours
Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗This rule says teenage nightclubs must close from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. During those hours, the building can be used for other things, but all minors must be removed by 10 p.m. and none can come in. If staff honestly thought a minor was an adult because of their looks and ID, that is not a violation.

(a) (1) No person shall operate a teenage nightclub between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
(2) The prohibition of subdivision (1) shall not preclude the premises from being used for other permitted purposes between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., provided the responsible managing agent of the nightclub removes or causes the removal of all minors from the nightclub at 10:00 p.m. and thereafter does not admit or allow the admission of any minor into the nightclub.
(3) The admission of a minor shall not be deemed a violation of this subsection if, in admitting the minor, the personnel of the establishment are misled by the appearance of the minor and the minor’s personal identification meeting the standards of § 34-10.4 (d) into believing in good faith that the minor was an adult.
(b) Any owner, responsible managing agent, or other person operating a teenage nightclub in violation of subsection (a) shall be fined not less than $250 and not more than $1,000 for each violation. Each day during which a teenage nightclub is operated in violation of subsection (a) shall be deemed a separate violation.
