I actually will return to try the beer and food they have here. We bought some beer to go, so it's just my initial thought of the bar. I will return to sit down and drink and eat. The bar was busy for the early afternoon. There is ample space to sit and I hear they allow dogs too on a certain night. Not sure, I was told word of mouth. The crowd and ambiance seem quite welcoming. The hostess was kind and smiley so that's always a plus. Beers in the fridge and good selection. If you don't find street parking you have to valet upstairs. Price seems decent enough. Just grab an Uber so you don't drink and drive! As I said, only stopped in for the to go beer but I will return for the drink and dine in another time! read more

There's a bunch of breweries in the Kaka'ako area and we've been trying out different ones. This one might turn out to be our favorite! We found street parking nearby but there's parking up the ramp for $5. There tons of seating inside and out with a little shop in the back selling their merch. Beer is really good-great selection of IPAs, ales and more. As for the food, we had the 2-6pm Happy Hour cheese bread ($10) and the regular menu Margherita pizza ($24) Both were tasty except the pizza was a bit over sauced IMO. Looking at the food menu, items were reasonably priced. Service was GREAT! Our server was super nice and friendly. We felt like VIPs! And dogs are welcome too- they have their own food items on the menu. Like I said Aloha Beer is now our favorite -brewery hands down ! read more

Landed in O'ahu, hungry and thirsty.... Looked up brewery close to us and Aloha Beer popped up... what a nice start to our vacation! We love a place where you can sit at the bar and have a conversation with the bartender... Reagan was so sweet and super friendly. The Poke nachos were so good as well as the drinks and beer. Grabbed some merch from their retail store too!! Saw many furry friends! Overall a very very chill spot! With good beer and food!!! Will definitely be back!!! read more

We had our wedding reception at the Hi Brau room and it couldn't have gone better! The food was _amazing_, the bartenders Ciera and Patrick were kind and attentive, and Mel, our point of contact, was incredibly responsive to our requests. All the pricing was transparent too, which I appreciated as someone budgeting for a wedding. If you're looking for a place to host a private event, I would very much recommend this place! read more

Cute bar located in the Kakaako area. Ample seating inside and outside. Very relaxed vibe. Great for after work drinks or just an everyday hang out. Our server was great and very attentive. This was my first time here and I will come back for sure. read more

Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Parking: NA/5 Family friendly: 5/5 Stroller friendly: 4/5 ADA accessible: 4/5 I distinctly remember this place being on the corner of Kalakaua and Lewers st. Maybe there is a new location there? Anyhow, ALOHA beer company has all the workings of a super relaxing brewery. Posted along the Waikiki strip it's a nice place to come and chill. There's indoor and outdoor seating and very welcoming. There are the staple beers, hazy's, IPA's and foods like flatbreads, salads and kids flatbreads. We ordered a kids pizza with chips ($10), Cesar salad ($16), and a BBQ chicken flatbread ($17-18?). To me, personally, the food I ordered was, meh. I felt like it was just thrown together and both flatbreads were slightly undercooked. Other than the food, everything else about this place is good. I'd come back to give it another try. read more

Food: great Beer: great Service: horrendous Family from out of town gathered here and the attitude of the bartender was so out of line. We spoke to the manager at the end of the night and he appeased us. Nothing more. Regardless of the specifics (large group gathering, split checks) this was one of the worst service experiences I've had. The evening started with the bartender telling us she would not serve us at the bar (we walked in way after everyone was done eating and close to done drinking). Then another in our group tried ordering two beers at the bar - again flat out no. Spoke to us with seething attitude. Looked over at the bar and she was obviously looking and talking badly about us with coworkers. Just a yucky experience. Somehow ordered two meals and 4 drinks and ended up being charged $160 for the evening. Would not recommend read more

We came to kill time and were pleasantly surprised with great food and beer. BTW they offer validation for parking . But most of all, there was a sticky situation with what appeared to be a houseless lady. The way Michael and his staff handled the situation in keeping their clientele feeling comfortable and dignifying the lady was just so honorable. We need more people like Michael and his staff in this world. Food and beer was of course amazing!!! read more

Worst ever experience ever. Unable to order any food or pup stuff online for take out other than beer, or atleast that's what I see when I go to online ordering. So we made a drive to aloha beer and find that this establishment is valet parking only! Although I heard many great things of this place, I'm not experiencing and just wanted a dine out. read more

Really great beers and a fun ambiance! First, I want to give a shout out to the amazing valet guy. Be warned you do have to pay $5 and tax to valet, but the guy who took our car was SO friendly that it was totally worth it. He was literally sweating bullets at the end of the night to run around and get everyone's car for them. Great effort and I appreciate his energy! We stopped by for trivia on Wednesday night, which was super fun and fast-paced. It's hosted by the amazing Geeks who Drink. Service was great - attentive but not overly so, and very friendly. Beers were also delicious. I really liked Froot Loops. While they don't have non-alcoholic beers, they do have mocktails and do a great iced tea. read more

Aloha Beer Co, looked commercial from the pictures I saw and quite nice outside with great street presence, resting in the front, a bar inside which had great air, and a patio area which is dog friendly. There is a decent amount of food items and craft cocktails. There are plenty of spirits and wine. They even have meals for your fur babies.  Our server Thalia was quite nice.  It was early and I felt like she was still waking up... but so was I. THE BEER: Mellow Waves wit beer 5.2% ABV... light crushable all day wit beer with hints of orange, citrus Hi-Bitchcus Ale 5.3% ABV... this was not my favorite, but also not the worse beer I have had in Hawaii Froot Lupes hazy IPA 7.3% ABV... juicy, on the dry side. Also West coast. Black Pils 5.5% ABV... dark malty notes without much of the pilsner after taste.  This is another crushable beer. Hiker's Dream IPA 6.3% ABV... says hazy IPA, but I didn't notice the haze.  It is a well balanced West coast styled IPA Red Zeppelin 6.2% ABV... red pale ale with hoppy finish Hop Lei IPA 6.4% ABV... West coast ipa Fruit forward and citrus notes Kaka'Ako Belgian tripel 9% ABV... tripel with fruit and caramel candy notes.  Not too boozy and quite good. Aloha Beer Co had a good variety of beers, although on this occasions none of their rotating beers was available.  That was a little disappointing. Still good beers and s good time. read more

Really tempted to review bomb the establishment, the experience left me in such a fowl mood... but after reading online reviews, you can tell this place needs help and a 1 star isn't gonna help. Has there been turn over lately? Are these new staff members? That would excuse some of the stuff, but ultimately NOT ACCEPTABLE as a dining experience. first is first - Attitude - check that at the door. Stalky white guy, mid 50s, short hair, who I can only assume is the brewery manager. I'm sorry your labeling machine was on the fritz, but you left your forklift in the middle of a walk way, w/ the forks at chest height. you literally watched me contemplate walking under the forks or thru the forklift before I asked about accessing the bathroom, then you played dumb and suggest I walk around.... if could have walked around, I WOULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR HELP; DERP! the 2nd person I encountered w/in mins of arrival, attitude. The next serving of attitude came from backwards hat guy, yea, you know the guy. Several inappropriate/unprofessional (yes, for a bar) remarks under his breath, to staff or customers. It was slow around lunch, you could hear everything he was saying. I had to argue w/ the guy because my burger came w/ ZERO sauce and he said it was $1 if I wanted extra condiments. He got into a tif w/ another guests because she ordered a mix drink and there was no one around to make it; lil bit of attitude and forced her to order a beer instead. The gal behind the bar was nice, but she seemed rushed and ultimately disappeared for a brewery tour. This was part the problem, though it was relatively empty, 3 of the staff disappeared for a tour, leaving backwards hat guy as the only man on deck. you should have a coverage plan for when 3 staffers are taken away for a brewery tour. I don't know your staffing strategy, but I'd argue less staff and a higher standard of service, ability, attitude, w/ the accompanied pay, would most likely provide a better guests experience. There should be established standards and expectations, if those aren't met, coach as best as possible or move on. Cleanliness - if you're "open for business" then you should be OPEN for BUSINESS - mens bathroom had a 3ft wide puddle in it, w/ ~8 dude working there I can't believe no one noticed this, went a 2nd time an hour later, puddle still there. No paper towels in the PT roll, lovely wet hands. kegs and pallets of beer EVERYWHERE... if you're open, you should have clear pathways and easy access for guests to use any part of the "open" facility. this is an ALL AROUND sort of thing, if the bathroom is dirty, the warehouse and retail floors are cluttered, then what's the rest of the place look like? How nasty is the kitchen? just the general attitude/approach/habits of a dirty establishment sets a bad tone... bleh! Food - Besides that first cold beer on a hot Oahu day, this was the 2nd most anticipated part of my lunch. I was hungry. In talkin w/ the gal behind the bar when ordering my 1st beer, she leaned towards a burger and that's what I ultimately ordered. when the food arrived, right off the bat I ate a few fries, they were cold. Oddly, also peppered. So, I moved on to the burger... or tried to. if you're gonna serve an open face burger, HOOK IT UP. Look at the lettuce, tiny, flat, 1 piece; the tomato, sliced super thin, soft, 1 slice; onion size/quantity was good. mind you, this is a BASIC $21 LTO cheeseburger w/ street sauce; execution matters @ $21, for $12 it would have been ok, but not. moving on to the patty, as I found no sauce under the LTO, and no sauce under the patty either. So i wait for a staff to flag down, about 5 mins goes by, ate a few fries. flag down backwards hat guy, ask for some sauce, he disappears into his POS handheld for a min, then tells me it's gonna be $1 for sauce, this lead to the sauce back and forth where I had to show him there was no sauce below the LTO or patty. As I waited for the sauce, I looked closer at the patty, pulled it apart, and just grey throughout, charred on the outside. Do you buy these prepacked and frozen? I ended up caking the bottom w/ the street sauce and the top w/ ketchup to counter how dry the patty was. such a disappointing, and now cold, "burger." it's a basic LTO burger, COME ON! Beer - As an IPA lover, 6 stars - Had I known the experience to come, I would have grabbed some tall cans from the fridge and been on my way. The Fruit Loops and Hikers Dream were on par. this is your only saving grace. my 2nd beet came in the same glass as my first beer, cleaned, but warm... so the 2nd beer went room temp real fast; all the more reason to chug it and leave. I will not be returning to this establishment, though I would pickup the beer if I see it in my local stores. Owner, no need respond; spend your energy fixing your business. I've now spent more time writing about your business than I spent eating at it, think about that. Good luck to you. read more

I've been a long time fan of Aloha Beer Co. since they opened their doors in 2016! This neighborhood watering hole serves up great gastropub cuisine and some of my favorite local beers. They have daily pau hana from 2pm-6pm and sell some of the cutest brewery merch on island. Their beer garden is such a vibe and snagging seats at the bar is equally as fun. The service is consistent and their team is really welcoming. Pro tip is to check out their sister cocktail bar upstairs called Hi Brau which is open Friday and Saturday nights starting at 8pm. No reservation needed. This has been a Kakaako staple for almost a decade and cheers to many more years to come! read more

Aloha Beer Co - Bar - Breweries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Looking for a local Happy Hour spot with craft beer and good food. Craft beer was spot on with their seasonal "The Slow Pour" that had a tangy full flavor finish. Service was friendly and accommodating for an outdoor seating area on Patio that is "dog friendly." Pizza sounded great and actually tasted good. Biggest issue was the crust being to doughy. Real let down, I should have sent it back for another 5 minutes in the oven. Feeling that hunger and having a cold brew to wash it down, I just continued munching down the great toppings with extra cheese, pulling the gooier parts of the crust on my plate. I did let our waitress know the pizza was way under cooked. The wait staff in general was very young and did not have the experience to either offer a reduction in price or a future discount to make this wrong, right. The layout of this local brewery is very relaxed, with an indoor bar and dining area playing NFL Football. The outdoor tables with umbrellas, allow you to visit without the other distractions at the bar. Parking above the brewery is $5.00. I most likely will pass on this place next Happy Hour search. Worth the stop for a cold beer any day! Good refreshing beer! Thus the 3 Stars for "Good!" read more

All I can say is WOW! I have had several private events at Aloha Beer for surprise birthdays and retirement parties. I worked with Mel Anderson who is head of hospitality operations and she's so great to work with. Easy going, friendly and helps out so much with the food orders and special drinks. Her bartender came up with this special whiskey drink for our retirement executive and it was such a huge hit. If you are looking for a beautiful setting, great service, awesome food and reasonable parking valet, Aloha Beer will NOT disappoint you. Thank you Mel and to your staff for such great hospitality. We will definitely be having more parties in the near future. Thanks again, Laura read more

As a self-proclaimed 'beer-hater' I surprisingly appreciate this place. It is spacious, inviting, and clean. Service is good. The staff will answer any questions and even give suggestions if needed. The first time i went i did a flight so i could try different flavors. I think it's a great way to figure out what you're into if you don't have a lot of beer-expertise (like me). I personally really enjoy the hibitchcus. It is more on the cider side which is probably why i liked it so much. This flavor is my go-to. I definitely suggest giving this place a try. They also have a full bar so there is more than just beer and the food is pretty tasty too. read more

My husband I recently got married in Waikiki. We had a small reception with 24 people and Aloha Beer company was the perfect place to host our loved ones for a reception. Mel was super responsive and easy to plan with. Their bartenders, Patrick and Ciera did an amazing job supporting us during the event. The food and drinks were wonderful, all of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed everything. And The Hi Brau room offered the perfect mixture of privacy and comfort. I highly recommend hosting your event here or just visiting for food and drinks! Thank you Aloha Beer for helping make our day so joyful and memorable! read more

Why have I not been here before? Komori is three soon, and I've been depriving him of a bibim-pup?! I am SO sorry, Komori. And I am also sorry I got you the small size; next time, I'll only get you large from now on. Looks like you know where we'll be for his birthday! Also, dogs are allowed but only on the outside patio area, which is understandable, but the patio is fun and inviting for everyone to enjoy. Although my husband and I don't usually drink, we were with new friends who recommended we try their favorite beer, "Froot Lupes," which we both loved. My husband also got a flight of five other beers that he reported he really liked, making it a memorable experience. Fun tip: If you want to seem healthy, you can order their house or Caesar salad as your side for your entrée instead of fries. For me, I'm coming back for their crispy chicken sandwich, and yes, I switched out the fries for a Caesar salad--but I cannot confirm nor deny that I ate half of my husband's truffle fries. Looks like there's events everyday of the week like Mondays, you get a free dog entree for every pizza purchase and Tuesdays are Trivia night! We'll definitely try bringing to Komori to one of those! Parking is tough, luckily we snagged one of two available street parking spots, but since it's a bar, you can't expect good parking. Also, shout out to our servers who just loved on Komori in between tables. Overall, this place is a must-visit for beer enthusiasts or anyone who loves their dog. read more

Aloha Brew Co. has a great vibe--chill, mellow, and a solid place to hang out. But the food is weak. My burger tasted like a frozen patty with barely any toppings. Elise's kid's cheeseburger showed up with the cheese still cold and unmelted, which looked awful. Josie's pizza was basically a small frozen pie tossed in the oven. The beer's nothing special either. Cool place to sit and drink, but if you're hungry or picky about beer quality, look elsewhere. read more

This location is on the outer border of Waikiki. The inside space is small but the patio is spacious. They have a large beer selection on tap and flight option available. The beers were good and the staff was friendly. The only issue is parking. Street parking are all old school meters. Good luck finding some coins. They also offer valet parking upstairs (no sure how much it is). read more

Aloha Beer Co - Beer menu - Breweries Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This brewery gets my award for the best FOOD at any brewery in Hawaii! The menu appears to be standard brewery fare at first, but when you dig in, you'll see lots of unique items. And even the traditional brewery pub-grub food is thoughtfully prepared and way fresher than you may be expecting! I got fried cauliflower and a salad and both were some of the best representations of each I have ever experienced. Correction: the fried cauliflower was THE best. I find most fried cauliflower to be way over-battered...but not here! The beers were also outstanding! Lots of hoppy stuff for the IPA beardos and also some crisp pilsners for the middle class fancy dads coming in after a long morning of yard maintenance! Their German pilsner is one of the better representations of the style I have had. As far as ambiance, they have a nice, sunny beer garden. No views of the ocean, but this probably servers to keep out the most annoying of tourists. Service was fantastic. I will definitely stop in next time I'm in Oahu! (this would also make a great stop before heading back to the airport, where there is little to do) read more

Excellent service, next time we are bringing our furbabies :) read more

There's a lot of breweries popping up around the Kakaako and Ward area. Aloha Beer has been one of my favorites (as well as Hana Koa) especially if you like IPAs. I'm a huge fan of their Red Zeppelin but when we arrived, it was out, so I went for my second favorite - Fruit Lupe. It's a STRONG IPA but low IBU so it tastes incredible and knocks you off your stool. We also ate the chicken sando and cheese pub burger. The chicken sandwich was much better but the burgers was as expected - a burger. The biggest plus is that they give you a pickle! We also saw on the menu, it's dog friendly and on Mondays they offer a pup bowl! So fricken cute! read more

It's been over 5 years since I last visited and many changed for the better. The outdoor patio area is super dog friendly, or should I say caters to dogs. We came here after hiking with my dog and she was immediately served iced water in a dog bowl. Then we ordered mushrooms truffle pizza with added pepperoni and sausage, a soft pretzel with mustard cheese sauce. There were 3 menu items specifically or dogs, she got a generous serving of cooked chicken in a dog bowl. It was fun to socialize with other dogs there too. The pizza was unbelievable, love the crust and ingredients are fresh and perfect. The soft pretzel could serve 4 people it's huge and done right. I just wish there was a place nearby for the dog to relieve herself, we had to walk almost 1 block to find grass. We paid for valet parking oon the roof. Will be back because taking the dog here is so fun. read more

Open even in the evening after the office workers go home. You can sample an IPA or a lager. Beer Flights are also available for more tasting! Sushi, sandwiches, salads and bentos too. Check out some homemade Tsuyu and Ponzu too. We will order more later. We were there for the beer. IPA and lager were top notch! read more

We made a reservation for 6 in advance on a Saturday night. Initially, we were all excited to try this place for the first time but was disappointed at the end. The beer flight and cocktails were good. The food was disappointing. The Korean fried chicken wings were completely burnt and super salty. The buns of the crispy chicken sandwich were extremely stale and dry, it was probably old bread. Our server forgot us twice and had to wait for a long time for our food to come only to be disappointed in the end. Our server was considerate enough to update us that the kitchen staff is working hard to accommodate other orders but they may need more assistance. Would have been 1 star but rating 2/5 for having a menu catered to dogs and outdoor ambience that is probably only great for drinks but not for food, sadly. read more

We had a large (10 person + 1 dog) gathering at Aloha Beer on a Friday night. The host specifically chose Aloha Beer for the family dinner because the dog was welcome. Our service was really friendly, and the food was pretty good. Since it's primarily a bar, I was impressed at the food, in fact. Everything else was tasty. The Poke Nachos were good--but the house made chips were fluffy, crisp and amazing! I'd go back just for the chips. We also ordered Truffle Garlic Parmesan Fries, Cheese Bread, Garlic Mushroom Tapas, Giant Pretzel, Crispy Rice & Spicy Ahi, a house salad, some kind of pizza, a burger and a bunch of beer. Everything I tried was good. The dog had a couple of items as well, but I didn't try those. The one item I did find disappointing was the karaage chicken--I'm really spoiled by the real thing, which we ate all ever Japan--it wasn't even close to that. To top it all off, we got the Bigass Sundae, which was the grand finale. It took a while for the sundae to arrive, but when it did, we understood why--amidst the mountain of ice cream, were freshly fried donuts and waffles. That was incredible, and we finished off every bite (see photos of before & after). I'd absolutely go back for the nachos & sundae...if they had a smaller version. There's a smaller outdoor seating area, a small indoor eating area and a courtyard area with bar height tables and live music. We were in the courtyard, and the musician was good. Sorry, forgot his name. Also I liked that the music wasn't so loud that we had to shout over it. There's valet parking on the rooftop, for a fee. read more

My friend & I went to the Kaka'ako location for some after dinner drinks & pupus. We had a reservation for outdoor seating, which has a nice ambience. When we got there it took a little for us to get seated though. But the hostess was really nice. While sitting outside, we got a little drizzled on because it was windy & rainy for a short time but manageable. I think for next time I would rather sit inside. Outside they have a store with merchandise and they also sell pastries & coffee in there too. You scan the QR code to view the menu, but they also have paper menus. My friend got a flight of beer & I got their purple flowerade cocktail. My drink was sooo good! I really enjoyed it. We also got their pub cheese bacon fries to share. It was really tasty, but got cold fast because we were outside. read more

Stopped by on a late Saturday after to taste a couple beers and the food. I had the Crispy Rice and Spicy Ahi app. It took a long time to get the app so it was cold. The crispy rice was crispy but hard. The Ahi was okay, the spice comes from the jalapeño pepper slice on top. Not a bad appetizer if warm. The place itself is nice, a couple TVs to watch the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs and other sports. Friendly and inviting. Definitely worth a try. read more
