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.

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.

There wasn't much of anything other than the single rickhouse area, so when we went back in 2025 it was nice to see how much they had expanded. A nice, full tasting bar, plenty of seating area (outdoor and indoor), and an expanded rickhouse. The employees are friendly and give great recommendations. Definitely loved seeing how much they've grown in the 4 years since we visited. They had more expressions to try this time around, which was great because I got to do a flight of their releases. My wife got a cocktail which she enjoyed. This place is definitely a good vibe for any whiskey lover visiting O'ahu!

My biggest concern is the lack of adequate restroom facilities during busy events. I hope the business considers improving restroom access or providing additional portable restrooms when large crowds are expected. Better facilities would help prevent situations like this from happening in the future.

We brought our middle school aged kids and loved that they got a little science learning as the rum production was explained. Staff was all top notch, friendly and knowledgable. Tasting was really generous and my husband and I ordered different ones which allowed us to also try each other's tastings too. I got the cocktail one and he got the classic rum one. We bought some gifts for family member taking care of our dog and a special bottle for my upcoming birthday. Finally, our son LOVED the honey so bought a bottle of that as well. This was a nice way to break up all of our beach and pool days!

Island Distillers is located in Hawaii-Kai; very close to everything, yet feels so far away. It's located at the end of a cul-du-sac with free street parking and marked spots just off the road. The gate is welcoming with painted yellow slippahs to guide your way. The main building is the actual distillery; you can peek inside and see where all the work is done. They do offer tours, but you have to schedule ahead of time (this would be a great activity to plan for visitors). The next building is the store and tasting room. It's well lit with natural sky lights. The bar is along the back, here you can try all their liquors. As of this writing, they have Coconut Vodka, Hibiscus Vodka, and the only known Hawaiian spirit known as Okolehao (this was my favorite). In the coming months they will also offer different varieties of rum. The owner was very friendly and ready to talk about their products and story of the location. He had fresh bananas hanging to enjoy as well as a large selection of bottles to buy to-go and clothing items with their well designed logos. Be sure to check in on Yelp for a free shot glass! The outdoor lanai has a number of tables all shaded next to a pond, waterfall, and garden. On the hill is sugarcane. He will be serving free pizzas to compliment the alcohols; be sure to keep an eye out for updates. This is a wonderful stop for anyone that enjoys locally made goods and wants to get away from town for an hour or so.
