Tomorrow, 12/30/2025, will be their last day of business. We would go there every time we were in Kauai and always enjoyed being there. It was as much about the ambience and people and we will miss the place. read more

My first drink on the island of Kauai - the interior is a mix of modern and divey, feels like a fun neighborhood vibe. Jerry's Rice Beer was a must-buy, solely for the lore. It was good! Not the best beer I've ever had but one of those beers that you have to appreciate how much heart and local passion went into making it. Service was reliable - QR codes made ordering easy. Overall one of the only 'late-night' spots for a drink in-town, so I'd say it was a hit :) read more

I didn't expect to have a borderline spiritual experience over a cheeseburger, but Kauai Beer Company really said, "Let's make this one for the memory books." I stopped in during my trip to Lihue and was just looking for a casual bite--but that burger? I was still thinking about it days later, like a vacation crush I wasn't ready to say goodbye to. Perfectly cooked, flavorful, and stacked just right. The laid-back, welcoming atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy, with that perfect mix of locals and travelers just vibing. A spot I'd absolutely come back to--if only to reunite with that beautiful burger. read more

Crap cakes are so so good!!!!! The portion is large and there is virtually no filler! The only retraction is parking can be a smidge difficult. read more

While service is friendly, you're kind of on your own. Kids & I opted to sit outside - service might be better inside. Mac & cheese was delicious, per my kiddos. I personally loved the potato salad! We didn't care for the fresh squeezed juice. read more

Husband had a pretty great experience here trying beers and I enjoyed good service and the chicken tenders and fries were pretty dang delicious! A few TVs to watch sports, bar seating as well as a good number of tables and booths. Large menu and they also pair up with local food trucks some evenings during the week. Servers were attentive and made sure we were taken care of. read more

Friendly staff, quick service, easy ordering, and great tasting food. Ambiance is cool and feels a little hidden. So have to rely on your trusty yelp directions. We ordered the ono fish plate, fries, and smash burgers. Both dishes tasted great. If you are a beer drinker, taste all that they offer with their flight samplers. read more

Wow, this place is amazing. We kind of ended up here on a whim. We were looking for somewhere to get breakfast/brunch and saw Kauai Beer Company had both beer, breakfast and the football games my husband wanted to watch. I ended up getting a hibiscus mule which wasn't too sweet. My husband got a nice beer. He got the croissant sandwich and I got the mushroom toast. Both were amazing! We were surprised at great the food was. We definitely will come back during the time that we are in Kauai. read more

The beer was good. We both had the west coast IPA. We sat inside. It was nice. They also have an area outside along the street and another outside area on the side. It was kinda weird that they don't let you inside until you ring a doorbell for the host. We waited at least 5 minutes not even sure that the doorbell worked. Then she told us to sit anywhere. They have food, but we just had the one beer. read more

Amazing beer, food and service! The Brussels sprouts are amazing - they offer. Behind burger which made us happy as two vegans! Very fun place read more

This place is great! The inside is bare bones and open concept. It very much feels like a bar with a few tables thrown in the mix. It's awesome -- perfect for people who want a casual meal or have kids that might scream and disturb others. We ordered and paid our bill on the tablet -- super simple and efficient. If you needed a server, they had a little card you could raise to get some assistance. The food was delicious. My sticky rib special was really good, but only 4-5 bones and a heaping serving of mashed potatoes and Cole slaw. I would have wanted more ribs and less sides. See the photo I took... My daughter loved her grilled cheese -- tasted like Swiss and American cheese. The smash burger wasn't really "smashed," but it was delicious. Their special sauce might be tartar sauce, not thousand island. My wife loved her fish tacos, but I don't sample. The pretzel was great -- including a delicious pub cheese and honey mustard. We didn't drink, but the beer selection had many local brews. Thanks for a great meal KBC! read more

We had lunch here yesterday. Pretty plain setting, open dining area, casual and clean. I had: Philly Cheeseteak (3.5/5) - Standard cheesesteak with decent flavors but a bit dry. Portion size a bit small. The side of slaw was okay. Chilli Cheese Fries (2/5) - Not so good. Looks like they don't really have chilli, so they threw on some meat patties and a can of beans as their interpretation. Not successful. The regular fries that come as a side to the entrees are actually very good, so I recommend not paying extra to have these good fries ruined. read more

There is only one brewery on the island of Kauai, but there is more diversity in beer styles here than any of the breweries on the other islands. Justin Gerber is the owner and head brewer. And what he has going on here would be just as good any where in the world.  I would come back to Hawaii just to drink this beer. THE BEERS: Jerry's Rice Lager 6.8% ABV... tastes like a cream ale, smooth, creamy and slightly boozy Lihue Lager 4.5% ABV... all day drinker, typical Lager with a pilsner finish, if you like Miller, this will suffice Black Limousine schwarzbier 5% ABV... malty and delicious, IBUs are low.  I have had this same beer, but stronger and this was way better. Totally crushable! Austrian Chicken Vienna Lager 6.4% ABV... I was very surprised by this all day beer. Tropical Armadillo Oatmeal Pale Ale 6.2% ABV... here is the description: rolled oats give this beer a creamy, smooth mouthfeel. Dry hopped with citra and Amarillo hops. Beer Co. IPA 7.3% ABV... this is an easy drinking, well balanced IPA.  About my favorite. Kokobopo oak aged porter 6.8% ABV... you can taste the bourbon and oak, this has a coconut finish. Sleeping Giant 2023 American Barleywine 9.3% ABV... this is not an all day drinker, but definitely a keeper.  Smooth, not boozy for a high ABV. and wonderfully drinkable. There is food here. Didn't get to try any of it, but one of the patrons said the beer battered fries are killer.  Liked this brewery the best in my visit to Hawaii. read more

We went to Kauai beer company when we arrived in Kauai. Great beer and awesome bartender, Jesse. Went back at the end of our week and Jesse was working and remembered us! Had another great time at the bar trying their selection. Bought some shirts and will definitely be back the next time we are in Kauai! Mahalo! read more

Kauai Beer Company - Beer flight! - Breweries Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

This place was good for an open spot near the resorts but the burger I received had so much sauce on it, it was a bit overwhelming. The service was very friendly though. It was hard going with a large group and ordering due to the online menu and ordering sticker which is great for a younger generation but can be challenging for those that have a hard time using their phone and a bit older. The Brussels sprouts were my favorite part so definitely try those if you love Brussels sprouts. The root beer I got was also very watery so maybe it was just the end of the day and I got the last of it or it wasn't balanced that day. read more

4 in the brewery category! Yes, the beer was good. But the food was a surprise. Great menu, lots to choose from. Highlights--the Brussels sprouts, the Mac and cheese and the smash burger. Meh--the pretzel. Service--you order your own food and drinks from a QR code, but service is quick and we had ample opportunity to ask questions. The only downside was we sat outside and there were SO MANY FLIES! read more

I come here at least once a week and typically food and service is on point. Today was an absolute embarrassment. Food was cold. We had three at our table and after 30-minutes two people were served, while my order took an additional 25 minutes..and i ordered a medium rare burger ‍ burger came out very well done. Server(s) were not helpful and actually seemed angry i was even asking what the status of order was. Needless to say, i left super bummed. Not sure I'll be coming back here for a while. Edited to add: our appetizers came out at the end of the meal. SMH read more

We came here for lunch with our field trip shelter dog from the Kauai Humane Society. They had recommended places we could eat that were dog friendly and this was one of those places. We were even able to eat indoors which was nice because it was raining a bit outside. Our waiter was super nice and friendly and the other workers liked saying hello to our shelter dog. As for food I got the okonomiyaki fries and a bacon cheeseburger with a side salad. The okonomiyaki fries were unique and a bit on the sweet side. The bacon burger was delicious and hit the spot. This was a great place for lunch and we really enjoyed it. read more

I found Kauai to be a pretty sleepy island in comparison to the others that I've been to, but this was a great add to our short trip on the island to decompress after a long day exploring with some beers! We ended up getting a flight each to try. Prices were reasonable (I think about $3 a taster), and we each got four. I got a nice buzz and was ready to continue my journey in Kauai. They also serve food, but we were saving our appetite for another dinner that we had bookmarked. The service was fast and reliable. We actually ordered through an app which was found on a QR code at our table and minutes later our drinks were served. This is a great hang out spot with friends and family and also a good place to watch a game as they do have TVs here! read more

We had wrapped up our week and wanted to go out with a bang! And that we did. First of all, I looked all week for one bar, restaurant, hit anybody that had a good dark beer. It seems that it is a sin to sell a dark beer on the island. Well, these guys are pagans then, they have a black limousine beer that brings down the house. The food was fantastic! I had the Rueben and it explodes with flavor. My wife had the carnitas taco and it was amazing (I ate half of one!) great atmosphere, friendly staff. Would definitely go here again. Oh yeah...total bonus, they support their local Humane Society! read more

Ran over here after work while in Lihue. Sitting out near the beach on a nice day while enjoying a beer really helps alleviate stress. The sounds of the tide and smell of salty air while I ate a few wings and enjoyed a very good burger was the perfect way to end a day and visit to Hawai'i. I am a Pilsner guy and any Pilsner is hard to find while traveling, having a very good one on tap was astounding. The friendly staff kept my glass full. If you are a Pilsner guy, this place is a must. read more

Didn't really care for the place. I'm sure if you're looking for an indoor bar to hit, this is the place. Advertised dark beers were not there. Boo. Service was good. I think there are better beer hauses out there. read more

My friend insisted we come back for the Kung Pao Brussel Sprouts before heading to the airport and they were as good as we remember. Indoor or outdoor seating, there is plenty of it. Plenty options to grub on while sipping a cocktail or beer on tap. Service is always solid here with friendly staff. read more

We came in for an afternoon drink, and we sat outside on the picnic tables. It was convenient to order with the QR code on your phone. Ambiance was chill vibes, casual to hang out. Service was good. - We got the flight to try all of the beers. I love the variety. Some super refreshing to others that were dark and heavy. We didn't get food, but I wish we had tried the fries! read more

Skip it unless you're JUST drinking beer. Food is bland and extremely over priced, and not served as described. Everything served was almost without seasoning at all. The "shaken" tenders are literally just frozen chicken strips with some grocery store bbq sauce drizzled all over them. Fries are 100% not "beer battered" as they say, definitely also frozen food service product. The fish in the fish and chips was the best part of the whole meal. Service is also virtually non-existent as they still use QR ordering at tables with no host or any interaction until your food arrives. The waitress was friendly, but again, 20 seconds of setting a plate down doesn't warrant a 25% tip as the default option suggests... Beer was good. Grab a drink if you like and go have dinner pretty much anywhere else. read more

The service is always good and the place is always family friendly and clean. Tried out the chicken katsu this time and was pretty disappointed. The chicken was a bit overcooked and the rice was like warm and old, making it a dry meal. I usually get the burgers here and they are fine but today I gave it a shot and no good. The brussel sprouts are always tasty though... read more

Nice ambiance with outdoor seating. Lots of beer choices. Food was lack luster- we got a burger lettuce wrap, chicken katsu and Brussel sprouts. Burger was not juicy and lacked flavor, rice with katsu was dry and old. The only thing that was decent was the sprouts and they seemed a bit over dressed and almost too sweet. read more

If you're looking for a bar and grill ambiance this is your spot. The service was good and the food was great, "4.5 stars", "fries were delicious" - My 10 year old preppy tween. I had the ahi tuna burger and would give it a 4/5. Definitely worth a try. The only two issues: $5.50 for kids drinks with no refills and it was very loud. read more

We drove by this place several times on the way to our hotel and thought we've got to try that place. Well we finally did on a warmer afternoon and we ended up having a margarita and a mixed drink first as it was so warm out. We then tried some tasters of beer. My husband tried the iPas and I tried the dark stout. We are pretty picky when it comes to beer and have our favorites (lead dog, Great Basin) and it was hard to not compare to those. I enjoyed the stout, but my husband felt his was just ok. This place is a lively fun atmosphere, all ordering is online and a great place to kick back and watch some sports with a drink if your staying in Lihui or near the airport. read more

We had some time to kill before checking into our rental and this place was close to the airport, so we stopped in for a bite. It's spacious and clean inside with a very laid back vibe. We started with the chicharon, which we devoured. Bf got the seared ahi and it was very fresh and tasty. I enjoyed my teriyaki burger but it was just very messy. Also, the fries are seemingly simple but were some of the best ever. Service is quick and friendly. Scan the menu and order through your phone and they bring everything to your table. read more

Fish tacos are back on the menu (as of December 2024). The fish has some sort of blackened seasoning and is cut into bite-sized pieces, which makes it dry. It is sautéed, not batter fried. It was filling, but I wouldn't order it again. On an island with so many fish taco places, I chose the wrong one. Lesson learned. Service slightly improved as I sat inside, and I was alone. My server gave me the option of ordering from him in person! Shocking! They typically have gotten lazy since the pandemic, and still mostly expect you to order off the QV on your phone. read more

Great chill vibe with locals so kine. The staff was friendly and quick with a beer and recommendations on the local digs! (Thanks Aerial) the older guys I watched the game with made me wanna move there. But remember this Island's motto Keep it Kau-iet read more

Stopped in while Pride of America was docked. Came for beer and souvenirs, but the food was a delicious surprise. I had the Reuben sandwich and my wife had the Philly cheesesteak and we both agreed that it each was one of the best we'd sampled. The beer was great as well and my wife had a margarita as she is not a beer drinker. The servers were courteous and prompt. You order everything via QR code so if you're not tech savvy you may have to get some assistance. We dined at one of their outside tables and it was quite nice with the breeze blowing. read more

Would highly recommend checking this place out while you're in Kauai! We had to go back a second time before we left -- and also bought merch! It's less than 10min away from the airport, if it's not too busy there's street parking. As soon as we walked up we were greeted by a warm and friendly employee. Plenty of seats outside if inside is full. You order through a QR code, and service is FAST! BF and I shared a Reuben sandwich and it was DELICIOUS! With a side of garlic fries (perfectly crispy, golden, and seasoned). Ot was the perfect amount for 2 people. Of course, we had to try all of the beer so we got two flights -- being a light weight, I was already buzzin' lol. I personally only liked 2 of the 8, but the BF enjoyed most. read more

OMG!! Please come here. My wife and I spent our first night here and were amazed by their array of entree options. She got the ono fish and I got the burger and they were both really good. But PLEASE get the Brussel sprouts and by far the best thing we ate that night.. that fig jam, pistachio pesto grilled cheese. Guys you have no idea how good that sandwich is, we've been actually raving about it for the past three days. Amazing service, amazing food, and completely flew under our radar. Also the beers and seltzers were amazing. Thanks Kauai Beer Company!! read more
