They don't normal the Lani lager and need to submit an order. I thought it would take a while but, between Ms. Lauren and the owner/ master brewer I was able to get it within 1-2 days Awesome service and beer most definitely will be a steady customer and promoting to friends and neighbors Thank you Ms Lauren

No wait for our party of 2, and we were sat immediately at a high top communal style table. It is a bar type establishment, with pour your own beers and wines on the wall. Not super noisy, but everyone was having their conversations and having a great time. Everything on the menu sounded delicious, and food walking past us looked amazing! The only difference to this establishment was instead of a server taking our order, we were instructed to go to the front podium to place the order when we were ready. We opted for the Fried Calamari with Cilantro Lime Aioli to start, and ordered the Chop Salad with Tofu and the Verde Bowl. The food came out so quickly, and we were actually surprised with the portion sizes for all the dishes. We were able to share the salad and bowl and still had enough to pack a take out box. Everything was delicious! I'm sure it can get busy on the weekends, but overall seems like a nice place to chill with good food, good drinks and good conversation. Wish we had more time to hang out!

They have a whole wall of self-pour beer and wine options, which was really cool because you can pour what you want and try a few different things without committing to a full drink.

Hana Koa Brewing is definitely worth the drive or bike ride because it's not in Waikiki, but the…read moretrip is absolutely worth it if you're looking for something a little different from the traditional beers you can get anywhere. The space has a more upscale feel, with a really nice vibe inside and plenty of tables. They have a great selection beyond their own beer, including cocktails, wine, non-alcoholic drinks, and guest taps. I especially loved that they offered smaller beer pours, which let me try several different beers without committing to a full pour of each. I was there for the beer, and I definitely wasn't disappointed! I was also really impressed by the food menu. They had lunch specials that sounded fantastic, and they even offer a brunch menu with special brunch cocktails. I wasn't hungry enough to try the food this time, but it definitely gives me a reason to come back. Great beer, a beautiful space, and lots of options for everyone. Definitely recommend adding Hana Koa to your Oahu brewery list!

Olohana Brewpub By Kalihi Beer was the latest iteration by the folks behind Broken Boundary and then Kalihi Beer when they used to brew out of a warehouse in Kalihi. This new location was another former brewery (the name escaped me now), so I was excited to check out their new place which was somewhat closer to me in downtown Chinatown. I've enjoyed their beers over the years, so I hoped to introduce myself to their new home and try new beers since I last visited them. Was the ohana feel present at Kalihi Ber's new brewpub!? PURCHASE(S) Kalihi Beer Rappa Red IPA Beer 6.7% ABV 16floz Draft ($9.00): Amber red color, hoppy malty aroma, light body, earthy hoppy malty flavor, smooth finish, and earthy hoppy malty aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=pGYVY6AmjK6pj7LR962U-Q 12" Veggie Pan Pizza ($26.00): Similar to a Detroit-style pizza with its square shape, slightly tall thick crust, and a nice crispy crunchy edging along the crust, this pie was piled high with a garden variety of goodness. With a glistening of oiliness, you had to be careful not to burn yourself because this baby was hot! I wished it was thicker, but this served its purpose as I enjoyed my beers. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=YR97SXGDrSViLNs-QLuimA Kalihi Beer 9 Of Staves Sour Beer 6.0% ABV 12floz Draft ($9.00): Copper red color, barrel aged nutty roasty aroma, light body, barrel aged fruity nutty roasty sour flavor, crisp tart finish, and barrel aged fruity nutty roasted tart aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=D4Uca_jtp5NuV-Jg157UbQ Kalihi Beer Pop Top Kölsch Beer 5.4% ABV 16floz Draft ($9.00): Rich amber color, fruity malty aroma, light body, fruity malty flavor, crisp finish, and fruity malty aftertaste.

SERVICE I was warmly greeted by a friendly woman behind the bar. We chatted about this new location, what happened to the old location, the former employees, etc.. I purposely ordered beers I haven't had before along with a pizza to soak up the suds, and everything came out rather quickly. All was chill and relaxing - mahalo! PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance) I was lucky enough to find a spot directly out front on the main drag of King St. after any imposed metered or timed restrictions (until 6pm). Otherwise, they didn't have a private lot, limited spots along the aforementioned King St. and other nearby roads, and several paid parking structures in the area (read all posted signs carefully) - 'nuff said. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=R1umMj6SwOtRKynMe9k0IA ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located in crammed Chinatown, this was a surprisingly open floorplan with dining tables and such more towards the front while you had barstools, high tables, and a few dining tables towards the back bar area https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=Vx7Ymnge49orCTievuBV6g for a more casual feel. You had all of the brewing equipment in plain sight which I personally appreciated. Plenty of natural and street lighting came through the large front windows and doors while decorative hung electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were several muted TVs throughout while rock music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=T58wipjL7BttBjIbQS4dBg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Olohana Brewpub By Kalihi Beer was a fun relaxing experience with tasty beers, and I wished them all of the best with this latest adventure. Everything I drank was easy, flavorful, light, and distinctive enough amongst themselves. I was a bit disappointed that they only had six of their own beers on tap while they offered several guest breweries in addition to a full bar with liquor, wine, and non-alcoholic options. The food menu was decent and varied enough but a bit on the pricey side. Lastly, the service was easy and straightforward. Unfortunately, I doubted this was a pet-friendly place. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $57.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

They might have been there to watch the basketball game or early volleyball fans. The ordering process was new to me. You scan a QR code and order your food and drinks and pay using either your credit card or Apple Pay. It kinda threw me off because you include your tip BEFORE you are even served! I thought tip was based on service, but this place asks for tip before you even interact with your server. I guess this is the 'new' way? IDK. We ordered cilantro lime wings, and 4 drinks. It came out to $68, including tip of 15%. Kinda high but the food and drinks came out pretty quick. I would return if we need to kill time before a UH game. Nonetheless, it is a very popular place and we spent a nice hour there.

Underdogs is actually a lot bigger than it appears from the outside, which is sort of nondescript - so much that you could easily miss it from the street. Lots of dining seating on the inside and plenty of room at the bar. Lots of flat screens on the walls, too, so I'm pretty sure this spot gets crowded during football season. Like many other bars around town, they have open mic karaoke. This spot is country-music friendly, so make sure your Garth Brooks is on point. Lots of local pupus in their menu. Kind of hungry so we ordered the following: - Dynamite chicken - 7/10: I would say it's like chicken karaage with lots of Sriracha mayo drizzled on top along with bonito flakes. Large and shareable pieces for maybe 2-3. Very filling and tasty. - Fried rice with smoked meats - 6/10: large portion shareable between 2-3 people. Good dish and they give you a lot of smoked pork meat. Unfortunately, the pieces were quite tough. Rice was on point and flavorful, however. This is a great spot to chill with nice people in a comfortable, unpretentious environment. Go off the beaten path for once and check this spot out as a great time was had by all.
