    Yeah!! Congrats on your reopening!! Your new facility is incredible! I am so glad to have fresh draft pussy grabs back beer again. The food truck Brazil was incredible, and just the vibe and ambience is incredible once again thank you so much. Blythe is still my favorite server, but Alex did well too lol Cheers!

    Located next to Watanabe Florist, this huge warehouse is an awesome hidden gem in Kalihi. Easy parking, friendly staff and got a table right away. Love the huge barrels and stainless kegs in there! Love that there is a lot of space and makes an awesome background pic. Nice ambiance! Cheers!

    Super bummed they are closing shortly. Really enjoyed the live music and good cold tall glasses of beer. Prices were reasonable too. Good Hawaii pubs are dying out and it's sad to see them go. Our waitress was always coming by and even bringing us waters. Aloha 'oe HBW!

    Give me one of Everything! ( Salted Caramel Stout, Kewalo Cream Ale, I'll Have what she's having, And the 8yr Woody.) These were good AF.

    Made a pitstop during my Oahu mini vacation to this little place with good vibes, chill music, and tasty beer. I literally walked in and said give me one of everything. Sure enough me and my girl were sharing tasters of everything they had available that day. Which was I believe a total of 10 beers on tap readily available. Service could've been a little better, but I don't know maybe because it was slow, or maybe because I had ordered all beers on flights. But if there is one thing that I do know, it's good beer. They do welcome people to bring outside food so that's pretty cool. I'd come back.

    Honolulu is blessed with many craft breweries - and in my humble opinion, I believe I found my ATF in Hawaii, Honolulu Beerworks. Originally located in Kaka'ako (where other craft breweries are located), Honolulu Beerworks moved to an industrial, converted warehouse in Kalihi. It's beers are worth the drive, for me, it's the Hop Island IPA. It has the crisp, hoppiness (sort of West Coast style) which I seek. In addition to the IPA, there are others, but once I tasted the IPA, I am hooked. Parking is available in front of the establishment, even on the street. When you walk up to the brewery, you will be greeted and made welcome. To the right is a small shop to be able to purchase the usual items (t-shirts, stickers, etc.) and to the left is a counter with chairs, and tables. You can walk to the "back" where you will see the massive tanks where the "nectar of Gods" are brewed - to the right are bourbon casks filled with beer to impart further flavor. There are some snacks available, but you are there for beer so enjoy them. Purchase of sixpacks are available for takeout, and they are available in stores throughout the island. I'm in bliss finding the Hop Island IPA from Honolulu Beerworks - I did not imbibe the other offerings and may in the future, but in the meanwhile, the Hop Island IPA will be my choice of beer.

    Celebrated a birthday here on a Friday night. I inquired through their website and exchanged email messages with their Assistant Manager. They didn't require a downpayment and everyone had their own tabs open. We had one server throughout the night named Justin. He was awesome and despite having almost 30-35 people, he was able to serve us quickly and efficiently. We were also able to bring a cake for the birthday boy. The corn holes on the Mauka Beer Garden was also nice. The string lights also gave a nice vibe to the night. The only bad thing was the smell of the fermenting beer beside us. It wasn't too bad but if you're sitting right by the brewery area, you will notice it. The cocktail drinks, beer availability, service, and venue was overall great. I will consider having another event here again.

    nice Bar

    a variety of Beers made Here in guess where ? Honolulu of course !! cool place to chill with friends or by yourself, just hanging out n relax after a long day at work. Your Bartender will take awesome care of you !!

    This was my first time here. It's got a relaxed, t-shirt & slippers, vibe. Our group was a party of 20. We sat outside at the picnic tables (3 of them) with table umbrellas. It was pretty humid out, but our server was quick with the cold drinks. I ordered a non-alcoholic beverage. It was a white tea with a medicine like flavor that was intolerable. I let the server know and he took it off my bill. I then ordered a diet Coke and a salad. I was looking forward to the beet salad that I saw on their website menu. It didn't look like the photo I saw online. It was a bit disappointing, but the flavor was good nonetheless. Four stars because our server was so on it. He was the only one assigned to our party and he made sure to keep checking on us. It's so important these days to have good help. I will come back here one day, but will try the other salad.

    I'd never think to order a salad at a brewery but the Beet Da Mouth salad here is amazing!! Super fresh with a tangy beet vinaigrette, a touch of sweetness from the orange, and a little umami from the goat cheese...it is a truly dreamy salad! Also they have a great live music schedule!

    This place is 100 times bigger than the old location but it's still very warm in here. Fans are going full blast inside. Very limited snacks menu popcorn, pretzels, etc....

    First impression, a frat party on steroids.  Guys and ladies in togas, ladies with attitudes and great craft beer.  When I made my order, the female server rolled her eyes.  Reminiscent of almost every frat party I have ever been to. Hurray!!! I should say, the service was exceptional.  Everyone except for the one bartender was absolutely stellar. The manager Carrie here is great! Thank you Carrie! THE BEER: Cooke street USB English Style Bitter 5.9% ABV...  this is quite good Kaka'Ako Kolsch 6% ABV... what a great Kolsch and a perfect beer for Hawaii.  I found this beer style lacking here in Hawaii, but not at Honolulu Beerworks.  WINNING!!! Poseidon's Pilsner 5.1% ABV...  I finished with this.  Wish I could have started with it.  It was quite good. 24 dragons Imperial porter 10.5% ABV... thus is a smoked white porter and honestly one of the best beers I have had on the island of O'ahu... FIRE!!! So not what I expected, but exceptionally good, great, excellent! Hoppy Anniversary IPA 5.8% ABV... a delicious IPA, hop forward in the West Coast style Don't read the Rules DIPA 8% ABV... this is a sleeper, lower in ABV and sooo very drinkable, 2 or 3 of these and walking will be difficult Honolulu Beerworks is one of the most authentic breweries in Honolulu.

    Our friends invited us here as his friends were playing just this past Friday. It was rainy day that day, and we didn't the side street parking to be full. It took us a bit of time to find parking, which is why I only gave 4 stars. I like the vibe here. It's an open air indoor space, but they also had outside space too. It can get really loud inside. There are also boardgames available. They had battleship, connect four and guess who. I feel like you can bring your own, just make sure you don't forget to bring it home. The servers were really nice, we were taken care of right away. They told us to scan the QR code for the menu. As soon as I saw the mac and cheese, I knew I had to get it. But since we were waiting for our friends still, we started with the garlic parm pretzels! Those were so delicious, it came with a mustard sauce. I personally didn't like the sauce as it was overpowering. Few minutes later our friends arrived and we ordered: * Chicken Mac and Cheese -- it tasted okay, but the macaroni was tasteless, it was bland. All I could taste was the breadcrumbs which added crunch to the dish. * Beef Dip -- they were pretty generous with the beef, but the portion for its price was definitely not with it. And I wish the cheese was melted which could've elevated the flavour. The dip was good too, I thought it'd melt the cheese but it didn't. * Takes Two to Mango -- refreshing! this one's a mocktail. * Beer Flight -- all delicious, but one stood out the most. I just can't remember which one.

    Glass always half full.

Surely...those expectations seem to have been met after today. I ended up ordering the Pulled Pork Sandwich with the superfood slaw. It was really good. 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. Maybe I might be interested in one of their appetizers as well...

Ordering was super easy and quick using the QR code to place and pay, which I appreciated. The beermosa itself was refreshing and well done, and I'd absolutely come back just for that. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite meet expectations. The "crispy" pork ended up being more hard than crunchy--so chewy that after one piece my jaw was sore. I thought maybe it was just me, but my friend agreed it was tough as well. The grilled cheese was also a bit surprising. Instead of the classic buttery, crisp bread with melty cheese inside, the cheese was grilled onto the outside and inside, which left the sandwich lacking that satisfying crunch. The fries were tasty, but for a $7 upgrade, I was hoping for a more generous portion than what arrived on the plate. On a positive note, the staff was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and checked on us a few times during our meal, which always makes a difference. Overall, I really wanted to love the food more, but it fell short this time. That said, I'd still consider coming back for another beermosa and hopefully a better kitchen day next time.
