    Relaxing and enjoying a beer
    Brian M.

    Nice local brewhouse with good tacos. We needed a little bite after some inner tubbing so we stopped in. We had some local brew and shared some tacos. It all hit the spot. It's a great hang in Koloa. Will definitely be back.

    While definitely on the pricey side (especially as Californians) these were top notch tacos. Especially the grilled tacos. Service was great. I had the banana stout and was really surprised. I expected it to be sickly sweet but it wasn't! Had a lovely mostly banana with slight chocolate flavor that really worked with a stout. It's strong so a 5oz pour was perfect for me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Outside seating made it perfect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend.

    As a brewery fan, I knew I had to finally visit this spot having met the brewer Ben and tried their beer at various festivals. Thanks to a friend while visiting Kauai recently, he brought us here and we had the best time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is in Old Koloa Village, with a cozy open vibe, lots of windows, plus plenty of outdoor seating if you're visiting on a sunny day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior has a utilitarian feel, with a big bar, ordering area, and the brewhouse visible behind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a nice merch section to the right. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restrooms are shared with the complex outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ben showed us a fantastic time. We tried every beer on tap, and talked about each one as we went. He also was a fan of their smash burgers, and had us one of each made to try and share during our visit. It was great going down this guided tasting with a guy that's clearly proud of his work and beer. They have a bunch of different styles on a tap at any time, with light ones to very dark, and all the flavors you could want in between. The anniversary imperial stout was my favorite on this visit. If you're a beer fan on Kauai, this is a must-visit and can be added to Kauai Island Brewing's new taproom nearby. Cheers to great local beer!

    I'm not a beer drinker but my husband is and he enjoyed their selections. We got here for happy hour, but unfortunately the flights don't count for happy hour, only certain beers. They also have a limited food selection. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We came here on a Friday night when they had a local band playing. The band was great and was a pleasant surprise since it wasn't something that we were planning on.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Drinks, service and overall vibe was great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] we really enjoyed stopping by! We had 2 beers and the chips and dip appetizer. All reasonably priced

    Enjoying a patio beer, Pineapple XPress "Hazy"

    Visited MAB twice on our recent visit to Kauai. Fun place to hang out and have a few beers. Taplist was decent, with multiple style options. (lagers, IPAs, Pale, wee heavy). Since my go to beer style is hazy IPAs, I ordered the Pineapple Xpress Hazy IPA (6% abv). Although it tasted like a hazy, look-wise, I wouldn't have considered this to be a hazy. But regardless, it was the best beer I had on the island. They offer 2 options; a sample or a pint. I do think they should offer a half pour or schooner option. (A little more than a tiny sampler glass). But all things considered, it's a fun spot. Great vibe. Lots of outdoor seating. Great location! Lots of shops nearby to walk to after a beer or 2! Kōloa town is so cute!!

    Very casual and accommodating to groups needing larger tables and needing to eat right away. - It's an order at the bar restaurant. - Solid Mexican food and beer. - If you love tortilla chips this is your place. Every dish seems to include a pile of chips.

    Shrimp tacos

    This is a reliable spot for a good meal. Since food options can be fairly limited around Kōloa, this was a good find (and we came back twice while staying in the area). The beer is good, there's a good selection. As any brewery, I wouldn't recommend the cocktails (from my experience ordering a margarita one time - wasn't my fav). That said, the food is actually pretty good. The shrimp tacos are great, fish tacos delicious (not a ton of fish on them but that seems consistent to everywhere). The taco salad was probably the overall favorite we had here, it's fresh and really good. The smash burger is average, probably wouldn't have that again but it's not bad either. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a cute area and overall vibe - the nice thing too is they're open a bit later.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is decently quick and overall good! I'd come back the next time I'm on Kauai if I'm in Kōloa area!

    The beer is great--especially the banana stout, which was even better than expected. I'd definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking to enjoy a couple of pints. Great service with live music.

    Looking for a chill brewery to relax outside and grab some bites we found mucho aloha as a new spot to try. There was an extensive list of beer choices many with tropical inspiration. We dropped in on a Thursday which also had a margarita special for $13. We ordered fish tacos and the burger and grabbed a seat. The beer was solid but the margarita was one of the worst I have had in a while, an overly sour mix it didn't taste fresh at all. Our food came out pretty quickly. The fish tacos were very small and didn't have a lot of fish but had a tasty crema sauce. The burger was honestly really delicious with the sauce and spicy jalapeno topping, it was by far the highlight of the meal. Food cost in the area is generally high but $80 the portions felt exceptionally

    Great beer, fun atmosphere with lots of casual seating, and food options if you're hungry! Try the "pickle mango" sour it is fun!

    Must try. Koloa town is a fun place to visit and has grown quite a bit just over the last few years. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This brewhouse is located in a cool spot back from the road and has a lot of seating and a super chill vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You order at the bar and service is fast and friendly. The drinks and food are both great. The fish burrito was tasty and fresh. I have to spotlight the Mucholada. It is their version of a michelada and it's one of the best if not the best I've ever had. The michelada mix paired with the house blend of spices on the rim was 10/10. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Add in the live music and it should be on your list when visiting the majestic south shore.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There are 5 more places within a 2 minute walk you have to try, so make sure to visit Koloa town. There is plenty of parking so don't just pass through his town on your way down to poipu.

    Omg!!! Best brew house I've been to on the island. They had a really good stout. I loved to outdoor seating area. We had a pup for a day from humane society and he loved it too!! He loved it too. The place was hopping and service was still spot on!!

Great service and excellent food! The staff recommended the pulled pork sandwich, and it did not disappoint. Super glad we stopped in for food and a sick t-shirt!

    Overall: Very disappointed. Food was good, with exceptions, but the service was bad. Whether you're…read morea tourist or a local, your initial greeting should be friendly, ours was not. We were there for Father's Day just before sunset, there were a few flies when we sat down, but when they brought the food, there were so many flies we had to shoo the flies away and eat at the same time. We noticed other tables had these fly spinners on their tables and we finally had to ask for one. Why wouldn't they just bring it to us? The dogs got water bowls at another table before we got a fly spinner. The dinners were good with the exception of the nachos. It was a good portion, but they packed it so high in a bowl that you could not get to the chips that were under all the toppings and everything kept falling on the table when you tried to get to the chips. It would've been nice if it were on a platter and easy to access the chips and all the toppings. The table service was bad. They took our orders for drinks and food and we didn't hear out of them until he came back and wanted to know if we wanted shots, in a joking manner. We were four adults with two children under six. They also charge a 20% gratuity on parties of six or more, have to pay for bad service. We also were seated on the patio feet from the live music. There was no conversation at the table as we had to compete with the live music and no other option for seating. The merch is too expensive, at the high end here but higher than similar businesses. First and last time for us, being on vacation will try something different.
