Hawaii's alcohol service laws and regulations are varied from one county to another. Each county has a separate agency to enforce the rules. Some counties require that employees complete training in bartending within 90 days of hiring. It also prohibits employees from selling alcohol at a discounted price or for free during happy hours. No employee can sell, deliver or serve alcohol in these hours. You must have a liquor certificate if you plan to sell alcohol during Happy Hours.
