Today is my first time I've ever been to Paradise cider in Mililani, Hawaii and let's say I am hooked. My mom and I both did a $10 paradise flight; we each picked different cider that we wanted to try. I had the guava cider, the dragon, fruit and strawberry cider and the mango daze cider. From the three different sliders that I had I really liked the guava cider. It was very light and then the last cider that I had the mango cider was also very good; the mango flavor really packed a punch, and you could definitely smell it from the top of the glass. My mom had the hang loose cider, the laid-back Lily cider, which is a passionfruit cider and then the pineapple Cruser, which is a pineapple cider. I also tried her pineapple cider and it was very yummy. I can't do the other ones because I can't do passionfruit. Not sure who's manning the bar today, but I will get his name later. The gentleman manning the bar, his name is Jacob! He is very nice and very informative on what different ciders and what different options they have at the cidery. 10/10

Paradise ciders is hands down some of the best cider I've ever had. We moved off island about 6 years ago and use to go to the old location and our first visit back did not disappoint! Their ciders range largely in sweet level which I'm a huge fan of as I'm not typically a cider fan. The flavor combos are genius! I absolutely love the ginger citrus cider. You can also find them at so many grocery stores now!! I will say that service was slow but it was extremely busy so we weren't upset about it. Plus, the server was very friendly. Food truck is semi attached and is a fantastic! Dog friendly establishment. Overall, we were extremely impressed and happy to see how far paradise ciders has come from their old location and Costco pizza days.

Great drinks and other local brews. Event nights and nice staff. Fun atmosphere, and food from HI sliders always really good. Good date spot, or for watching sports.

What a huge selection of beers and ciders! Love that it's spacious inside with the indoor, outdoor seating and you choose where you want to be! Huge bar and selections. I enjoyed the flatbread that we ordered. My favorite was the Lilikoi cider. This was perfect in the afternoon early dinner not a huge crowd or big noise. Just a chill time with our good friends.

Tucked away in the shopping center. Place has been around for two years (where have I been!). I'm glad I found a cider brewery place here in Oahu, hard to come by a good one. Okay tried the: Kalihi Beer Wai Le'a Lager - Watermelon beer. Subtle hint of tajin. Not a strong presence of watermelon but it did have a fruity hint. Guava Lava - nice sweet and light flavor (one of my favorites) Lei'd back Lilikoi - sweet fruity cider (one of my favorites) Mango Li-Hing Mui - Sweet seltzer (not cider), subtle mango flavor. Came with a rim of Li-Hing Mui which is sweet and tart just how I like it (one of my favorites) Hang Loose Juice Cider- Pretty deadly as it indeed tastes like juice Mango Daze - not too sweet or tart mango flavor Service was great! Nice chill bartender named Kennedy, seemed real dte. And informative and helpful with our choices of drinks. Nice open bar area with great breeze. Lots of bar and table seating. Such a whole ass vibe coming here at 4:10pm on a Sunday. Also they have a food menu and food truck in the back area of the bar which is separately ordered and we didn't try but all the more reason to come back and try which I will do!

This was a cool spot. There's an outdoor patio and indoor seating that include high tops, tables and seats around the bar. On the other side of the restaurant, there's a spot for a food truck. My husband and I ordered almost everything on the menu. The couple we were with ordered other drinks we didn't order. Our favorite was the mango and li hing mui. The li hing mui adds a saltiness and tartness that I think is way better than tajin. And to pair it with mango was perfect. I was most disappointed by the Ube Blue Bae. I felt like it tasted mostly of potato with no other notes of the blueberry. All in all, a good hangout spot. I would definitely go again!

Wish they opened a location in Ewa Beach but totally worth driving up to cool Mililani for this experience. There is also an outdoor area in the front you can bring your dog. We sat at the bar as we were short on time. Needed to refill our 64oz growler to prepare for Superbowl. But alas we had to taste test the ciders and seltzers to choose a refill. I had their ciders in Kalihi many years ago. Hard ciders are so easy to drink but they have 5-6% alcohol. I imagine many women like the fruity flavors. They also carry other brands. But we like sampling their proprietary flavors. Not sure what the difference between a ciders and seltzer is. We ended up with Pineapple Cider. They have food from a food truck in the back of the bar, a separate business called HI Sliders. Lemme tell you their birra tacos are AMAZING. We are coming back every Wednesday night with the dog as growler refill is only $10 which is super cheap or half off normal. Our growler has approximately 5 pints in it for $20 regular so that's cheap good beer. Suggestions: provide dog water bowls with iced water! Support your local microbrewery!

Disclaimer: Paradise Ciders and HI Sliders share the same space. I will be writing a separate review for HI Sliders because... let's be honest... they both deserve an equal round of applause. I've lived in Mililani for almost 2 decades and I recently visited this establishment a month ago. I know, I know... but hey... I've got a handful of kids and they're... particular to say the least. However, I've brought my girls with me first and they loved the vibe. They really liked the bar made fruit punch! I tried their staff picked flight of ciders and hard tea (because I LOVE tea.) Every single one I tried was very tasty! I had the strawberry, lilikoi, and lihing hard tea (it can be viewed in the pic). My least favorite was the lihing. It didn't mix as well as I thought it would. I also had the Lei'd back Lilikoi , Killah Dragon, and Hang Loose Juice ciders (seen in the picture) and those were all VERY good! I really liked the Killah Dragon. All of the staff were extremely attentive and helpful. They explained their menu choices thoroughly without making me feel like I was being an inconvenience. If you dine here during the day, it's super bright! Filled with natural lighting. If you dine at night, it's a little dark with ceiling lighting inside and string lighting outside. Overall, the vibe is amazing! Super chill, family AND pet friendly (outside seating.) Seating is on your own, so find a comfy spot and settle in to have a great time!!!

I've heard really good thing about Paradise Ciders so I wanted to visit. My friend's retirement party was scheduled at Paradise Ciders so it was a good opportunity to sample the goods. The ciders were like beer without the bitterness and ,depending what you selected, pretty fruity in a good way. They also have a good selection of beers ad seems to attract a lot of local regulars. The food comes from a food truck towards the rear of the establishment that seems to be run as a separate establishment. It serves Mexican themed food that is pretty tasty. I will return soon to sample more of the food because I love Mexican cuisine. Prices are good, especially happy hour, and it is a good neighborhood hang out. Loved the empanadas but the nacho fries weren't my thing.

(Drank 05/20/23 SA @ 5:00pm and one other time): Nothing like drinking ciders on the islands of paradise! Now that our bellies were full of BBQ from This Lil Piggy, we decided to make a stop at Paradise Ciders which was "somewhat" on our way home. Honestly, I wanted to check out their cidery since I've enjoyed their ciders at breweries around town, and we were kind of in the vicinity. Ciders seemed to have slowed their pace in the alcohol industry of late while I felt hard seltzers have zoomed past them. However, I always had a palette for the fruitier-tasting things in life, so I suspected this would be a slam dunk. Would I be in paradise as I imbibed on their creative tropical ciders!? PURCHASE Guava Lava Cider 5.2% ABV 16floz Draft ($7.00): Guava orange color, guava tropical aroma, light body, guava flavor, clean finish, and clean guava sweet aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=15ifZhU-sNXbjMDzmP3Pjw Mango Daze Cider 6.0% ABV 16floz Draft ($7.00): Mango orange color, apple mango tropical aroma, light body, mango flavor, clean finish, and clean mango sweet aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=bg_bDN1RQILXUJqmZHp91w Hang Loose Juice Cider 5.0% ABV 13floz Draft ($6.00): Guava orange color, guava orange passion fruit tropical aroma, light body, guava orange passion fruit flavor, clean effervescent finish, and crisp guava orange passion fruit sweet aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=nXkex7KpRXwsFVv6nPK9bw Shortboard Cider 5.0% ABV 16floz Draft ($7.00): Bright amber color, apple fruity tropical aroma, light body, apple flavor, crisp finish, and clean apple tropical aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=kRStWsOZcHUV08lKtcgfkw Pineapple Vanilla Cream Cider 6.6% ABV 16floz Draft ($7.00): Hazy yellow color, fruity pineapple tropical aroma, light body, pineapple vanilla flavor, mouthcoating finish, and pineapple tart vanilla aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=tTGTEchet2eBNRW7ctLB6Q Logo T-Shirt ($20.00): I thought the logo was cool, so I decided to buy one! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=V61hb2loHC_HvqBG2H0sbw Sticker ($3.00): I loved to place these on the walls of other breweries on my travels or stick them on my water bottle. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=vF9t5q_sk-QDEjumtRRL4w SERVICE We easily made our way to a spot at the bar where we were greeted by a friendly young woman who gave us menus (we declined the food one). After much rumination, we finally placed our first order. The drinks came immediately as they did for any future orders. We were checked on occasionally and offered water which was really nice. Otherwise, everything was easy, efficient, and exemplary - mahalo! PARKING (FREE) Located within the Mililani Shopping Center, they shared a large private parking lot with many other businesses such as 24 Hour Fitness, Foodland, ROSS Dress For Less, and more - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE This was a large floorplan with a nearly equally-large bar https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=wpZq3eo3a8VUEfFO63LRPw at the center of it all while a plethora of chairs/tables surrounded it https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=0ZTPeqeH1kf5p2SpVuL0KA all the way to the walls. There was also a small outdoor front patio https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=p77slLuInUDjqf2TQQePhQ area, as well as a stage area for nightly live performances https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=J0mJy9P0tUGSRGtuFbQsHQ in a corner. Plenty of natural lighting came in through the large front opening while many electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were a ton of TVs throughout while on this particular night live music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=xn5QNzpwzvBV2p--3f47CA ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL It was a pleasurable time at Paradise Ciders and I would definitely visit again... maybe to even try their food. They had a very good selection of libations (e.g. beer, ciders, cocktails, wine), the drinks were lovely, prices were comparable, and the service was straightforward. This was also a great place to watch games. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $60.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

We decided to eat here for dinner one night and just so happened there was a UFC fight so it was perfect! Although we were the only ones with kids this night, the staff were super friendly and accommodating for our family. Our server was so patient with all our questions and had great recommendations! Loved their ciders and they have a sampler so you can try a bunch and make your own set. I liked the ciders more than the seltzer. Definitely would come back for the POG cider! We also enjoyed our food for HI Sliders. Super easy to order online via Toast! I also liked how they have inside and outside seating!

First time to this spot. We had an amazing lunch. Enjoyed food from the truck and drinks from the bar. Started off with two different flights. Then had some mixed drinks. Kennedy was our server. She was AWESOME! Also played a few games of Foosball. Would definitely come back again ...

Food was amazing! Service was timed perfectly. Ambiance was chill and great for a group of people.
