Hana Koa Brewing Co…read more Stopped by for a Pau Hana while in town, and it couldn't have been a better way to spend the afternoon. Good food, great craft beer, and the Mexico vs. Czech Republic FIFA World Cup match on the TVs. Moments like these remind us how sports can symbolize unity and world peace by bringing people from different cultures and backgrounds together. Food We shared the Beer Battered Fish & Chips, Bang-A-Rang Shrimp, and Eggplant Bruschetta. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The fish was crispy on the outside and flaky inside, the Bang-A-Rang Shrimp had just the right amount of crunch and flavor, and the Eggplant Bruschetta was a delicious starter. Drinks I ordered a beer flight with #5 Torchlight, #10 Hops for Hugs, #14 Rice Breaker, and #16 After Hours. After Hours was easily my favorite. My friend had a pint of #3 Aqueerius, a refreshing sour ale with raspberry limeade notes that he really enjoyed. Service & Atmosphere The staff were welcoming, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. The brewery is spacious, clean, and a great place to relax with friends or catch a game. Parking is available along the side of the building, but spaces are limited. Great food, excellent beer, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back!

The place is very aesthtic and cute but overall, due to the bad service it quickly killed the mood…read more Service was not the best, our server seemed bothered for simple requests like when we asked to order food after waiting like 20 mins or asked for water. Anyways, went in for happy hr, got a flight, some onion rings, fries, and a hot honey chicken sandwich (the special for the month) Flight was good but I wish you could choose which beers you wanted to try - its like a set list. Onion rings were okay, but was charged extra for sauce even though it was listed as an option. Fries were crispy & great. Chicken sandwich was very good too. Vibes were a miss for me, wanted to love this brewery but left very underwhelmed. Probably won't be back. There are other local breweries I'd love to give my $ to instead.

When we went we were a party of 8. We were disappointed at the amount of items they were out of- all pizza and mahi mahi. Pros- I liked our server. He was nice and checked on us often. Beers were good and came out quickly. The coconut mango beer was amazing. The ribs were fall off the bone delicious and the pork bao tacos were good too. Cons- There was a mix up on items so food did not come out all together. The amount of items on the menu they were out of.

Do not get put off by having to climb the "never-ending" flight of stairs to access the brew pub; there is an elevator. There is a large bar area, an outside patio, and an adjacent dining/drinking area next to the Outrigger Hotel. Side bar: There seems to be a gazillion Outrigger Hotels on or near the strip. They do have an impressive craft beer menu, some guest taps, and a full complement of high-octane spirits. I was initially disappointed that their Big Swell IPA was tapped out. My second choice, the Overboard IPA, was a great 2nd choice. This is a typical IPA with a dry finish. During lunch, I ordered the Bikini Blonde. This is an all-day lite but refreshing beer with a crisp finish. I ordered the seared ahi salad for lunch. This exceeded my expectations. The generous portion of ahi was seared perfectly. The ahi was accompanied by an egg, avocado, radish, Okinawan sweet potato, furikake goat cheese, and drizzled with Bikini Blonde-cilantro vinaigrette. Deliciouso! There are big screen TVs available if you wish to catch a game. Service was excellent at the bar, and the bartenders knew their beer and provided great guidance. Check out their website as they have a great HH and specials.

No wait for our party of 2, and we were sat immediately at a high top communal style table. It is a bar type establishment, with pour your own beers and wines on the wall. Not super noisy, but everyone was having their conversations and having a great time. Everything on the menu sounded delicious, and food walking past us looked amazing! The only difference to this establishment was instead of a server taking our order, we were instructed to go to the front podium to place the order when we were ready. We opted for the Fried Calamari with Cilantro Lime Aioli to start, and ordered the Chop Salad with Tofu and the Verde Bowl. The food came out so quickly, and we were actually surprised with the portion sizes for all the dishes. We were able to share the salad and bowl and still had enough to pack a take out box. Everything was delicious! I'm sure it can get busy on the weekends, but overall seems like a nice place to chill with good food, good drinks and good conversation. Wish we had more time to hang out!

So I had to pour their dressing on to the beef patty to add flavor. The burger bun and the 2 slices of bacon were good. But the large potato wedges were not good, it tasted powdery, lack of seasoning, not the right kind potato. We ordered 2 burgers to go. It was fast and the staff were nice.

The whole table sits down and has to stare at their phones putting credit card info into their system to try and order a beer. I'm not there to look at my phone, I'm there to be actively engaged with my friends/family. Then they have the nerve to make 20% the default tip? The waitress did not check on us, I had to fetch my own condiments, and order my food through a website. There was not any personal service whatsoever. As far as value, beers were $8 a pop for a normal glass. A local style 12oz beer was $10! I am shocked at prices, lack of service, and yet crowded. Can we not expect better?

I have been to Aloha Beer company bothering these folks for the last week celebrating and inviting my friends for my birthday. This evening I was here and a family from Sweden came in. They had a one year-old daughter who absolutely love my dog. These people were so nice and that child and my dog connected immediately Luna is nine months and sweetest animal alive sent from the heavens. Upon admiring Luna, we block the aisle during the busiest hours at Aloha Beer co I want to command the employees mostly but the food and atmosphere was always the same...GREAT but because they worked around us at the busiest time while we were in the isle blocking everything and everyone and never a negative attitude towards my dog or the tourists connection Staff is phenomenal! Sierra, Patrick, Spencer and Michael along with the rest of the staff were so patient and understanding. Ty from the The food is excellent, but the teamwork is as something I have not seen inmost establishments here in Hawaii.

We were a little early for the UH volleyball game so we stopped by Beer Lab for a drink…read more It was packed on a Saturday evening at 6:00pm, full of UH fans wearing green! I love it! They might have been there to watch the basketball game or early volleyball fans. The ordering process was new to me. You scan a QR code and order your food and drinks and pay using either your credit card or Apple Pay. It kinda threw me off because you include your tip BEFORE you are even served! I thought tip was based on service, but this place asks for tip before you even interact with your server. I guess this is the 'new' way? IDK. We ordered cilantro lime wings, and 4 drinks. It came out to $68, including tip of 15%. Kinda high but the food and drinks came out pretty quick. I would return if we need to kill time before a UH game. Nonetheless, it is a very popular place and we spent a nice hour there.

We were seated relatively quickly, outside, at a long picnic table. No problems there. But then... Our server (Andrew, I think that's his name...it was on the receipt but we literally never saw him after he took our order and then brought the bill), really didn't want any small talk at all. He seemed a bit annoyed when my fiancé asked about their own brews....almost like it would've been easier for him to just order Coors or something. You're a brewing company...people are going to have questions. All 4 of us ordered something different- Sicilian pepperoni pizza, some type of burger, pulled pork loaded fries, and a macadamia nut chicken salad. Food was average...you can tell they cater to tourists.. Our server never checked on us. He took our order, a runner brought the food out, and the next time he came to the table was with a bill. I actually had to flag down another service so we could cash out. I have so much respect for people working in the service industry. It's a hard job. You deal with people all the time and some of them are downright jerks. We weren't jerks. We were regular, nice customers. It takes a lot for me to not tip anywhere between 20-25%. Sadly, this was one of those times. 2 stars

Large, open, bright space with long wooden tables, stools with no backs, and high tables with same. A few big screen tvs mounted on walls with sports going on. Ladies, it's not just a place for beer. They also have delicious variety of cocktails and mocktails. Server was very nice and let us know to use our phones to scan the QR on table. You order from here and pay too. The server won't come to take your order. Not sure how this is handled if you have no phone. They may have menus and drinks written on chalkboard at bar or maybe request a paper menu. She brought us waters with a bottle to refill on our own, plates, cutlery and napkins. Drinks didn't take long and were deliciously concocted. We ordered chips with ahi dip- lots of dip and not enough chips but I'm sure if you asked for more they would acquiesce. Yummy and right flavor not too salty. Also onion rings which were large and plenty in the basket! You had choice of ranch dressing or brown mustard and we wanted to mix so she said no problem and brought them! Then we had to try the dessert flight which were three cute little prepared sweets of crème Brûlée, strawberry shortcake and a brownie with some type of custard on top. Yum! Place was clean, not too loud, and a restroom inside their place which was nice. All the servers were friendly, pleasant and made sure we had what we needed, clearing plates and glasses, keeping table clean. We really enjoyed powering up before power shopping so will return!
