Came here around 7pm for a nightcap and really enjoyed the vibe. Bottleheads is a small, cozy wine bar with a laid back atmosphere, perfect for a chill night. Seating is limited, which adds to the intimate feel. When we arrived, only about four tables were occupied, so we were seated right away. We chose to sit outside, but indoor seating was also available. Parking was easier than expected. There is plenty of street parking out front, along with a lot behind the building. Both are metered, but when we went the meters in the back lot were out of order, so we lucked out. They offer wine by the glass with 2 oz and 6 oz pours, or you can grab a full bottle. We went with four 2 oz pours so we could try a few different options, which was a great way to mix it up without committing to one bottle. We also ordered the beet salad for $14, which was super fresh and well balanced. The light vinaigrette did not overpower anything and really let the beets, mixed greens, and feta shine. Simple, but done right. The staff mentioned they host wine tasting events on Wednesdays, which definitely sounds worth checking out next time. Overall, prices felt reasonable and the atmosphere was on point. It is a great spot for a relaxed night or casual date. The only downside is the bathroom situation. It is a shared restroom outside of the space, and when we went it was not in great condition. It was not well stocked and pretty messy. Not really the bar's fault, but something to be aware of. Would definitely come back. read more

When we got there, we were greeted by the owner and he was very nice. We started at the bar but he moved us to outdoor seating area which I thought it was very nice. However, rest of our night didn't go as we expected. He took forever to come to our table and take out orders. During our orders, he suddenly went to another table. When eventually came back and completed our orders. You go grab your own beer from fridge and wine will be served. We ordered a grilled sandwiches. We waited for at least 30 minutes but still didn't get it on the table. We noticed the lady who was supposed to be in the kitchen and cook was sitting with customers and started vaping. Owner joined this table and chatting with them. We were forgotten. He finally came around to our table so I stopped him and asked about our grilled sandwiches. Instead of apologizing for the delay, he said his kitchen does not have capabilities to make more than 2 sandwiches at the time when it was clear that they forgot our orders. We saw owner was talking to the cook lady and pointed at us. After a while, she decided to go in the kitchen. It took another great moment until our sandwich was served. No apology it enjoy your meal from her. read more

I very much enjoy coming here! The wine selection hits, the food is found, and the service is stellar. For a special event, or a random Saturday afternoon, Bottleheads is a go-to for a perfect patio vibe. Even from Ewa. read more

Had a great time. All though there was no teaching of the wines the tasting consisted of reading the menu asking for what you wanted and taste. Ok I had better experienced. I FaceTimed a friend and had exchanges it was fun. Now the food was absolutely scrumptious the deviled eggs were 100% on point. Just opening it was very quiet and I had undivided attention. Wines were great a variety of choices . read more

This place is so cute! Love the intimate feel you get when dinning there. It like a little local hot that is fun to meet with friends, has amazing food and they even have bands come play! Service was wonderful, treated like a friend/family. You are able to grab your own beer from the fridge and they will bring you a glass. The food was amazing, so full of flavor! The caviar deviled eggs were out of this world. I think I could have had 8 or more. The shop carries great selections of beers,wine and spirits. The prices were also great. So good In fact I went home with 3 bottles of spirits! Next time I will be getting some wine! Come hang out eat, drink and be merry here! You will love it. read more

Caviar deviled eggs! Wow! Okay! 10/10!!! And the margherita pizza was 10/10, too!!! Everything was so fresh and delicious! Service was 5/5, everyone was so nice and very tentative. Our food was delivered very quick. Very small space, but intimate and a good date night setting. There's patio seating with hanging string lights that are also cute. Great vibes. read more

Im not sure what to call this place. Its not a bar and its not a restaurant. However the menu is limited but good. The service to really bad, terrible. There was only one table with people when we walked in and we waited 10 minutes before a server show up at our table. We were setting outside. Then we waited another 10 minutes for the server to take our order. After we got our food we never saw the server until I got up from the table to find him. They served us tap water in a bottel, it was not filtered water, it didn't taste good. So that was a problem because I like to drink a lot of water if I'm going to have a cocktail. That brings us to the cocktails they have here. The cocktail drinks are limited also. I like a good bourbon not whitskey. The server went into a long explanation why they don't have bourbon at there bar, resturant, whatever this place is. This place needs a lot of work on their hospitality. read more

No Worries! Not the response you want from your server when they forgot to put in your food order. I mean it would have been nice to have the charcuterie with the wine we ordered. We heard the wait for food was usually long here so we just enjoyed the wine and waited. But as it was now 20 minutes before they closed we asked and he said oh I forgot. No worries though I won't charge you for it um ok can we get the bill. And he handed us the tablet to pay. Standing over us as we left tip. I love supporting small businesses but making it so challenging. And seeing we are not the only ones based on reviews is frustrating. Hopefully something changes one way or the other. Luckily we left and got ice cream around the corner for our dinner instead. So that deserves the 2nd star. read more

This hidden gem in Kailua has everything from wine, beer, spirits, and even some awesome non-alcoholic options- all lined up on their wall. You can even order online and pick it up in an hour, or I believe you can even get it delivered. The first time I came in here - I actually just got a soda (oli pop) to go. More than just a bottle shop, you can stay and drink inside or they have outdoor seating as well. Plus, they're dog friendly!! I recently came in with my group of Pilates pals. My friends picked from their wine list and a few of them got some non-alcoholic ginger beer. I went with their mezcal and ginger and LOVED my drink. Perfect mix of smokey and sweet. For a bottleshop the food here is actually so good! We shared the hummus plate- they get their hummus from ulu mana; 3 different types of hummus made from ulu! Paired with crackers and different types of pickles. Highly highly recommend - perfect for sharing with a group over drinks! I ordered the grilled cheese and added prosciutto! They get their sourdough bread from the bread shop and it's stuffed with sharp cheddar, aged gouda & provolone. It's all about the bread here, perfectly crispy and so good with all that gooey cheese. We asked them to cut it into 4s in the back so we could all share. Vibes? Immaculate. Drinks? Flowing. Food? Delicious. Service? Top notch. read more

Great place to grab a wine and small bites!!! Friendly atmosphere! Hope this business in Kailua stays open!!!

Amazing service. Great food and really nice people! There was a band that set the vibe right. Great selection of wine. Overall had a nice stay here. Thank you. read more

Wow, I don't even know where to start. I called to reserve a lovely goodbye party for myself for 15 people on Monday 12/8 for Friday 12/12. You guys were my favorite restaurant in Kailua, so it seemed fitting to have my goodbye party there. I called on the 12th to say I was running a bit late, and they seemed to have no idea what I was talking about...They said they had my party "scheduled for saturday the 13th". The actual goodbye dinner was amazing on the 12th and our server was great, funny and let us stay after close. When we arrived, he also apologized for the mix-up on our reservation and said he had updated it to reflect the correct date (the 12th). I left feeling it was a wonderful goodbye party and recommending bottleheads to all my friends staying in Hawaii. Cue today...I'm in the process of moving to EUROPE today Friday 12/19 and received 2 voicemails asking if "my party of 15 was still coming for my party tonight, the 19th." I didn't receive the voicemail because, (again), I was on a flight and received an incredibly rude voicemail saying I could have "bothered calling them back that I couldn't make it tonight and sarcastically commenting on what a "courteous person I was". I called him back after landing FROM A 12 HOUR FLIGHT and he proceeded to berate me for "not bothering to return a phone call to let them know I wasn't coming". I said that the restaurant had messed up the reservation for the third time, I'd already had my goodbye party a week ago, and that I was on a flight all day to Europe. He proceeded to keep repeating that "It was really rude of me to not call them back". Um-(Since, repeating this over and over on the phone apparently made no difference)-YOU the restaurant messed up my reservation THREE TIMES. We literally already HAD the party that you thought was scheduled for today? I'm truly appalled at the experience I had with whoever was on the phone, especially after spending quite a bit of money at my goodbye party and having a lovely time. Whoever handles your reservation book is an absolute mess! read more

Good hidden spot to stop by for casual drinking and food in Kailua. Decent spot to pick up beers, wine, other spirits before heading to the beach. Pretty affordable prices and unique items. You can even choose your own drinks for purchase and drink it there! They have free wine tastings on Thursdays, which make it very popular day to come! You can also join their wine club if you're interested in that. Butcher and Bird items available for purchase here. Charcuterie cheese boards too! Street parking only. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Service was nice and helpful. read more

New menu! Check out my photos. Loved the New Zealand Sauv Blanc. Great starter! Then go to the Juan Gil Cabernet. Trust me! So gooooood! They now have Bratwurst! Yup! And local from BUTCHER AND BIRD! So good. Great option for Keto friendly diets. Check out my photos. read more

VIBEY PARADISE in PARADISE. The vibe of this place stopped me in my TRACKS! I was walking to another restaurant to meet my lady when I came up on BOTTLEHEADS patio. Chill music. Dim lighting. Ladies enjoying glasses of wine and bites. I go in check it out, tell dude man we will come back next time we are in town. I walked out, took ten steps and turned around. The time is NOW. I texted my lady to meet me there. I had a delightful bottle of German Pilsner while I waited- the beers and wine are finely curated. The food list is short and sweet. Perfect for noshies. My lady said the deviled eggs w caviar were the best she ever had- we had to order another round. The grilled cheese was crispy gooey sourdough goodness. Im telling you this spot is a VIBE. I Shazammed five songs in the first hour! By now we've started chatting with Nate, the very accommodating and interesting sommelier- ended up in a full on amazing conversation with him and a table of lovely ladies who meet there every week. It was a scene!!! I generally do not drink that much lately and I was a liiiiiil tipsy walking out. To the credit of their wine quality, I woke up feeling great for our last sunrise over the ocean. BOTTLEHEADS or BUST! read more

If you are coming for a quick bite, make sure you have a lot of time to spare. Came here to try the grilled cheese sandwich I'd heard about and I want to say the grilled cheese was amazing! It came out quickly, the cheese was warm but not too hot. The bread was crunchy and delicious. I was served by a nice gentleman who made a great recommendation for wine to pair with the sandwich. For drinks, there are many options to choose from. They have a large variety of spirits, beers, and wines. The location is great with a lot of parking available in the square located in between the buildings. The reason for the three stars is because of the responsiveness of the staff. Although the grilled cheese and wine were amazing, they couldn't make up for the wait. Long story short, there were two people working, but one was not providing any assistance, but rather spent the whole time on their phone. While I was waiting to have my order taken, I saw a small family leave after only drinks, and later while walking home I saw them eating food somewhere else. There was a person sitting next to me who asked for her check and didn't receive it for around 8 minutes. The gentleman who served me was doing the best he could, but I could tell he had his hands full. I will probably go back with friends and a different mindset, knowing that this place operates at a slower pace than I was expecting. read more

Guys! This is a must see! These folks are super passionate about wine, the wine is amazing and the prices are superb! This place is laid out in a fashion where you can come purchase wine with a corkage fee and drink on location, drink by the glass , or take home. The food menu is perfect for this setting. Rumor has it they will expand their bites soon. This was something that Oahu really needed , enthusiastic people about wine , hospitality and sharing in experiences. You really feel at home at Bottleheads. Good luck at their new spot I will definitely be returning! read more

I don't really drink but a coworker and I decided to check this place out for happy work after work. Boy, am I glad we did! A very cozy tasting room with a really great ambiance and outstanding service! They have a good selection of non-alcoholic drinks and I really loved the blood orange sparkling juice the server recommended. Also shared the charcuterie board and was perfect for two people. I think this will be our new stop after long days of work! read more

Consistent friendly service, ambience is ok, inside you hear everyone's conversations, as there is no music, except the tv sometimes. A/C is cranked on high so it's a bit chilly. I think outside seating is better. My go to is the hummus plate which is so delicious! Drink is FeverTree tonic which is also one of my favorite drinks. A big gripe for my husband is that they have a "corkage" fee for a bottle of beer. This is absurd! Also, the restrooms are in the complex 3 flights upstairs which is an inconvenience. It would be nice if Bottleheads had a restroom for customers. read more

This little gem of aperitifs and appetizers really helped keep the morning buzz from Koolau distillers and the Manoa Chocolate tour going. The staff were wonderful and knowledgeable. They were so friendly and we really felt like they were Just so excited to share the various wines and liquors on the shelf. I highly recommend the spicy watermelon tequila!

Hi. There are 4 of us writing this review. We love bottleheards. You can't get these wines anywhere else. We love Pablo. Next. Bottle heads truly understands the Kailua experience. They make you feel like you are home and make a genuine connection with you as well as making outstanding reccomendations on their unique wine and bourbon collection. Bottleheads in Kailua offers a cozy escape where unique wines and bourbon flow as freely as the warm welcome extended to every guest, fur friends included, making everyone feel like old pals gathered for a good time. The service and the wine selection is unparalleled. We can't reccomend this place enough read more

Buyer beware! I suffered the biggest rip off from a place that I can remember. I went in to look around and saw they had a four pack of Hana Koa, which I like and since I want to support local businesses and products, I bought it. I got charged over $25 for the four pack. It seemed expensive but decided to go ahead with the purchase. When I got home I checked the pricing against two places -Hana Koa was $10 cheaper and Village Beer Shop was $11 cheaper. I called Bottleheads, thinking it was a mistake in the price. The staff person there confirmed the pricing and indicated that was the pricing the owner wanted. I was told they'd have the owner call me. He/they never did. Never going back and will warn my friends as well. read more

Bottleheads - Best grilled cheese EVER!!! - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

The best tasting experience I've had in a while and such a gem to find on Oahu!! Easily added ourselves to the waitlist ahead of time because we went on a Saturday and it was busy as always. The list of options for 2oz pours was substantial and definitely had whites and reds for all tastes. The shop was even nice enough to go around and give a free tasting to all the guests present. I'm so happy to have found a place so inviting with yummy wines to try! The cheese board is a must as the pickled onions and green olives are to die for and the cheeses are perfectly paired. Can't go wrong for $13 as it is well worth the money. Excited to go back soon! read more

They've been very good to us both times I went. First time was with friends (indoors), second time was with family (outdoors). The store is pretty, with natural sunshine coming in. Good for couples, small groups, and well-behaved little-ones (there are wine bottles everywhere and noise travels loudly), so the entrance door is kept closed for temperature as well as privacy. Prices can get high, but you can hear yourself talk during a conversation and they have nice foods and drinks to experience. read more

Great experience. Staff appeared knowledgeable and passionate in the drinks they serve. Able to buy some Hawaii-exclusive wines/spirits and try it at the tables. Our group really loved the Hawaii whiskey mafia III makers mark and the Hawaii sake likiloi. The sake is more on the dry side rather than the sweet side, which Robert told us ahead of time; I do think that made us enjoyed it more since we knew what to expect. Maker's mark will be really good with ice and a citrus peel. They told us they will have their own branded whiskey soon and I feel like I could trust their expertise. For a soft opening, Robert and Scott made it look like they've been open for a while.They provided good wine recommendations for our group, who frequent Napa County. We will be back! read more

This place is such a fun addition to Kailua! AMAZING grilled cheese (so big it's definitely shareable). They have a great selection of beer, wine and spirits. They serve hard alcohol on the rocks, wine, beer and their own whiskey!! I wish they could do mixed drinks but there's a large enough selection that it's almost not needed! The corkage fee is very high and definitely stopped me from purchasing more even though I was going to drink it in the shop. Also, it would be awesome to have the patio open at night! read more

Very awesome service, snacks, and selection of wines and whiskeys. Sunday is by far the best day to come as you can wine and dine with co owner Scott. He also made his own whiskey bottled after greatness. It's such a smooth 12 year! My husband doesn't drink and is my driver so they provided him with a San Pelligrino on the house! Which meant more drinks for me! You can purchase tastings of any drink on the menu. The Rose changes often. The meat and cheese board changes every so often so it's always good to get and is very filling. They are usually packed in the evenings and space is limited. If you have a party of 6 or more you need reservations. Pick up a bottle of wine while you are at it! read more

Bottleheads is excellent! Rarely do you encounter a liquor shop so well-curated, where they've already eliminated all the junk stock to present you the best in class of all your favorite spirits. You'll see familiar favs, but also discover new tastes without being disoriented by too many choices. Also if note: They've got a well stocked pantry section of great seasonings, oils, kitchen lovelies and a fridge with some of the best dip and poke you'll ever encounter from the likes of Ahi Assassins. read more
