I don't think Alan Akaka is gigging regularly like he used to at Dukes. They occasionally do steel guitar showcases at various locations but a lot of those are virtual anyway lately.
Bobby Ingano likewise, not sure if he's got a regular spot. He used to play at Dots in Wahiawa (central Oahu) but I think Dots closed down.
Steve Cheney would regularly play with the Polynesian Cultural Center...might have to spring for their lu'au, up on the windward side near La'ie. But if interested I would contact them to confirm.
Greg Sardinha's website lists some things...but this all may be prepandemic:

There's Kapono Lopes and Jeff Au Hoy, not found anything about when and where they play, if at all.
When I went, the only steel guitar I encountered on Waikiki was my own. And even then, a local came up and insisted, very friendly, that I was playing "slack key"!
I'm sure it exists, but it is exceedingly rare these days, sadly.
