    Omakase (left) & Breakfast deluxe (right)
    Rena T.

    This was our third visit to this Beer Lab location, and it's consistently a great stop. There are plenty of tables and high tops, so finding a seat has never been an issue. When you walk in, the menu is posted on the right wall, making it easy to check out what's new. They usually keep a couple of their staple beers on tap, but every few months they rotate in something different. It's nice being able to try something new each time. We ordered the Omakase and the Breakfast Deluxe, and our total came out to $18 before tip. The Omakase is always my go‑to--easy, smooth, and super refreshing. This was our first time trying the Breakfast Deluxe. It was a little sweet from the maple syrup, but overall surprisingly balanced and enjoyable. We'll definitely be back to try more of the food. They have a huge variety of chicken wings, and the special of the day was kalua nachos, which sounded amazing. Parking has never been a problem for us. It's located on the first floor of Puck's Alley, and they offer a 2‑hour parking validation. Just scan the QR code at the counter when you order and pay. The only downside is that the music can get pretty loud inside, but it's still a solid spot to relax and enjoy a drink.

    Fun place to hang before or after UH games. Most people are going to or coming from campus, so it's a lively place to get ready for a game and some team spirit. The food costs more than at the concession stands in the stadium but a good option for something other than stadium food. They also have cocktails, shots, wine and soju if you wanna drink something other than beer. Service is fairly quick as orders are placed from the table via QR code.

    I think this is my favorite beer lab...With exception of parking depending on when you come. 2:30 PM on a Monday no problem, brah. Few spots in the front and got one. First time came here since they moved, and I contemplated my choices as to why I didn't come sooner. I think this has become my favorite brewery. They have good beer, wine, and my other favorite bourbon. 12 oz beers are also $5 as they brew them here. Could change in the future so go fast. On top of that friendly service and love the beer garden vibes with cover for rain.

    Master Beer Brewery Eulerson is a beer WIZARD! So many interesting beers here flavored as only a locally experienced beermaster could now. Amazing ingredients, original seltzers and interesting snacks. This location, walk up to the cashier and order your beers and/or food. They will bring you your beers to where you are. There are a variety of sitting arrangements at this locations. Clean restrooms. They even have a room with themed beer itemsfor sale. They have beers available to-go.

    We visited Beer Lab while waiting to be called for a table at another restaurant down the street. Its convenient location just a short walk away was a huge plus. My spouse and I each tried a drink from the holiday menu--I had the Mango Pandan Hazy IPA, and he went with the Golden Stout. Both options were unique and creative, offering flavors we wouldn't normally choose but felt special because they were exclusive. While the Mango Pandan wasn't a flavor I'd typically go for, I appreciated the opportunity to try something different. It was the perfect way to pass the time. We even played a round of checkers while enjoying our drinks. (Guess who won? ) The space was still decked out in holiday decorations, which we loved--it felt like we got to extend the festive season a little longer. Ordering was super simple with the QR code system, and the drinks arrived quickly. Overall, it was a great spot to relax, sip on some unique beers, and enjoy the moment.

    Cheers to the holidays... Thank you Suri and Steve for the suggestion of this cool place who constantly has events and new sips that keeps up with our seasonal cravings and to just relax and chill is right here at Beer Lab in Pucks Alley and you'd could never imagine what you're in for from the outside as this quite dated building on the outside has been fresh and modern with a hint of cozy on the inside. Walking in I was impressed with the decor with lanterns filled the ceiling at giving it such a festive vibe along with fun art and wall mural with lots of seating whether it's using bar stools, banquette or there's a couple section that gives the living room feel with two huge chairs and a loveseat with air conditioner blasting indeed it was the holiday season. We came for the Snow Tiger Party where they had some special drinks and merchandise but wasn't quite the party we had imagined but with great friends it was still filled with festive cheer! Immediately I wanted to grab the cozy section and sunk into the loveseat and the staff came over and introduced us with some various samples of beer which was a great ice breaker of choices and ordering is either up at the bar or using their QR code where you're able to start your own tab is really nice and easy as I got the Ceramic Mug with Nitro Beer "Baby It's Gold Outside" which is a stout brewed with hazelnut coffee and Milk Sugar which is something I couldn't resist after all it's the holidays! They do have lots of food as well but not exactly what I was feeling but sitting and just catching up here is very nice and a great place as parking is free for the first hour and they validate the second hour though on this day parking was free...it seems that the Santa has worked it out for us. Thank you!

    Drinks!

    The newest location of BeerLab at Puck's Alley. Very nicely decorated and trendy spot to hang out with your friends. Comfy seats, good beer, good company, good AC, friendly staff, what more could you ask for? Parking is free in the lot - which is a plus for this area! Bamboo Tiger Sando $14 Double breaded and deep fried chicken thigh smothered in our house special tangy, spicy garlic Bamboo Tiger sauce. Served in a milk bread bun on a bed of cabbage slaw and topped with housemade cucumber pickles. -Yummy, good flavor, not spicy to me though.. Side of fries were reasonable for only $2 extra. Beers - we have tried multiple beers here and my favorite was current releases - Kulolo (a classic favorite here in Hawaii) & Nicely Naughty which is a nice gingerbread stout perfect for the holidays. Last month they had Sinigang which was delicious! I don't usually drink too much beer, but the quality with all the different flavors and collaborations with local restaurants makes it worth the try. Will definitely return!

    Pucks Alley! There are a couple of Beerlab locations and this was my 1st visit to Pucks Alley. Beerlab is great because they are a craft ale brewery that is non conforming. They collaborate and create really great flavored beers, sours and seltzers from Hawaiian inspired "things". I guess I shouldn't limit it to just Hawaii...because it does go beyond Hawaii, of course! Really great service!! Great prices. They put a lot into what they produce. It is not something you would buy off the shelf. Almost every visit is different. Unless you are there daily! (Which is a perfect idea) Today I had a really great nitro along with a few other tasters. The food was also really delicious and well flavored with great spices. Comforting too. Pucks Alley is spacious. Casual, great music, televisions for games or entertainment. University area, parking behind the building or meters on the street. On Sunday you can catch free meters!! Family friendly. Drink responsibly.

    I went to the "new" location of Beer Lab. It's in Puck's alley across from Raising Cane. The interior is pretty sparse and utilitarian. On each table was a QR code with the table number. I had reserved a table and I think it had my name on it. In any case what I liked about this place was the ability to order and keep your order open until the very end - bonus points for being able to pay with Apple Pay! You can choose from a variety of beers and to be honest I think I tried every single one. Of course I ordered 4oz at a time. You can of course choose 12oz pours etc... I enjoyed the variety of beers, each one having a different taste but to be honest, once you get past a few, they start tasting somewhat alike except for the strong porter. They were all good in their own way. Everything was going great until food was ordered. The food looks great, but it doesn't taste great. Their signature chicken Bamboo tiger chicken came with nice looking boneless chicken, but the flavor/sauce is way too strong; there was no finishing this dish. The smoked ahi dip - tasted fine, but there was a huge piece of ahi that wasn't ground in the middle. The smoked meat was ok, but nothing really great - although it was probably the best dish ordered. The seasoned fries were also strong as well. I get it, season well so people order more drinks, but in this case, you just had to stop after a while - too strong flavors.... Someone had a heavy hand that night. I will say the place became packed so people must like the beers and food! I like the vibe and the way you can order - I just wish the food was a little better. Maybe I will try another night and see how it goes? Still, recommended as a cool place to hang out.

    Bamboo Tiger Shop is the newest location of Beer Lab Hawaii. They've gone through many changes recently and this is one of the positive additions. Located in Puck's Alley, the spot used to be a Korean restaurant and karaoke joint, so it has a similar vibe but is still distinctly Beer Lab. This is more of a lounge location that the owners wanted to be a place they'd enjoy relaxing in themselves. It has an eclectic collection of furniture inside to the right which make more intimate areas for groups of friends to hang out, plus small tables for singles or pairs, and larger one for groups. There is also traditional bar seating. This location has its own menu (no outside food allowed), which leans into Korean chicken sandwiches, fries, and pickles. They have a full selection of their beers on draft, and plan on doing kombucha again soon. This location also has soju service available, which can go with their sour beers. Like the other locations, you can do pints, half pints, or sample/taster sizes on a flight rack. They have TVs for sporting events, and hopefully will soon do more events here. They have a full merchandise shop in its own room to the right, and a fridge behind the bar of to-go cans. If you're a beer fan visiting Honolulu, you must visit one location of Beer Lab, and this is a quick ride from Waikiki.

    That same amazing Beer Lab quality and taste is now in a new location! Just across the street from the original University spot, the new Pucks Alley location has upped the ambience but kept the brews you know and love. Parking validation in the back lot was not available when I visited, but from what I've heard it may be available now (I went during their soft opening period). Aside from the awesome draft beer which rotates periodically, I also recommend getting one of their sandos and pairing it with seasoned fries. Can't go wrong with that combo! Also a word on location since I got a little confused at first after parking--the front door faces King St. If you park in the back lot, you can either walk through the Nijiya grocery story and round the corner or go through the lot exit route and loop back around the other way.

    My coworkers and I decided to check this place out after class. We're all fans of beer lab and since this location has different food options we opted to check it out. For parking you need to park in the lot used for Nijiya, Betty's burgers, etc. If the lot is full, you can try to find street parking. It is located on king street just past 7-11 and before you hit university ave. Now to the good stuff. The food and service was AWESOME! We got our drinking within minutes or ordering and the food is made to order so it took a little bit but still came out relatively quickly. The electric lili-pepper beer was interesting and you definitely feel a burn when it's going down. The lihing highball was ok. I wish there was a stringer lihing flavor to it. However, the lihing old fashioned was excellent! Perfect balance of sweet/sour lihing and the bite of the whiskey. I highly recommend checking this place out! Great food, service and easy parking. You really can't ask for much more. Aloha!

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.

Slaw - Refreshing and accompanies well with the Sandwich for some relief. It was not overdressed, which is a plus. Pulled Pork Sandwich - WOW...that's all I can say. I was completely floored after eating it. The pickled onions and slaw really were necessary to the sandwich because it helped cut through the richness of the pork. Pork was succulent and delicious and they gave a good amount of it on the sandwich. The presentation on the brioche bun made it so inviting. I would have liked a bit more of the pickled onion on it, but the flavors were outstanding...loved every bit of it. Everything about it was so good. Sweet, salty, acidic, smoky...it all worked as a perfect bite. The ambiance of the place was really beautiful and felt like a place I definitely would love coming back to in the near future. 10/10 Definitely would come back there for the sandwich again.
