After consuming my weight in Mai Tai cocktails, I wandered into Maui Brewing in search of an…read moreexcellent IPA and a lite lunch. Maui Brewing definitely earned this 5-star review. Do not get put off by having to climb the "never-ending" flight of stairs to access the brew pub; there is an elevator. There is a large bar area, an outside patio, and an adjacent dining/drinking area next to the Outrigger Hotel. Side bar: There seems to be a gazillion Outrigger Hotels on or near the strip. They do have an impressive craft beer menu, some guest taps, and a full complement of high-octane spirits. I was initially disappointed that their Big Swell IPA was tapped out. My second choice, the Overboard IPA, was a great 2nd choice. This is a typical IPA with a dry finish. During lunch, I ordered the Bikini Blonde. This is an all-day lite but refreshing beer with a crisp finish. I ordered the seared ahi salad for lunch. This exceeded my expectations. The generous portion of ahi was seared perfectly. The ahi was accompanied by an egg, avocado, radish, Okinawan sweet potato, furikake goat cheese, and drizzled with Bikini Blonde-cilantro vinaigrette. Deliciouso! There are big screen TVs available if you wish to catch a game. Service was excellent at the bar, and the bartenders knew their beer and provided great guidance. Check out their website as they have a great HH and specials.

I had pretty optimistic expectations with Waikiki Brewing Company, especially after having not…read moreeaten over there before, and have passed that place a few times in the Waikiki area. Surely...those expectations seem to have been met after today. I ended up ordering the Pulled Pork Sandwich with the superfood slaw. It was really good. Slaw - Refreshing and accompanies well with the Sandwich for some relief. It was not overdressed, which is a plus. Pulled Pork Sandwich - WOW...that's all I can say. I was completely floored after eating it. The pickled onions and slaw really were necessary to the sandwich because it helped cut through the richness of the pork. Pork was succulent and delicious and they gave a good amount of it on the sandwich. The presentation on the brioche bun made it so inviting. I would have liked a bit more of the pickled onion on it, but the flavors were outstanding...loved every bit of it. Everything about it was so good. Sweet, salty, acidic, smoky...it all worked as a perfect bite. The ambiance of the place was really beautiful and felt like a place I definitely would love coming back to in the near future. 10/10 Definitely would come back there for the sandwich again. Maybe I might be interested in one of their appetizers as well...

Had a variety of drinks that were all amazing. Cherry mojito was probably my favorite. Our waitress Sloan never let our drinks get empty. Only true downside to our experience was standing outside at the host stand for 10 minutes waiting for someone to come seat us. We had to come inside to find someone. Not ideal, but would still come back!

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!

We were a little early for the UH volleyball game so we stopped by Beer Lab for a drink…read more It was packed on a Saturday evening at 6:00pm, full of UH fans wearing green! I love it! 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.

Support local brew houses…read more I've been visiting here since they opened in 2019 and have always admired their craftsmanship & creativity with their beers - especially the names...lol. . Most recently, their collabs with neighboring Rice Factory hv been tasty, pairing well with their hefty Hana burger and a Fried chicken sandwich special. Kindly requesting garlic truffle fries be brought to their regular menu - please (: . Excited to eventually attend one of their community events - I saw yoga on one of their ads?!...fun. . As usual, scoring a parking stall in the trippy mickey lot is still based on prayers & luck. Nonetheless, cheers to more beers & mems @ Hana Koa Brewing!

The food was surprisingly good too -- definitely more than just typical bar snacks. Everything we ordered was really tasty and paired well with the drinks. The environment is one of my favorite parts. The space is big, lively, and really well designed, with a nice upstairs area that gives you a great view of the whole place. It's a fun vibe whether you're coming for drinks, food, or just hanging out. Overall a really solid spot with good drinks, yummy food, and a great atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

Parked in the lot behind the building specifically reserved for Brew'd and the other businesses. Was there about 40 minutes.

When we got seated our waitress was prompt and helped us get our order in before happy hour was over. We ordered exclusively from the happy hour deals menu and the portions were extremely generous. Chicken nachos were tasty, my favorite topping was the quick pickled jalapeños, so delicious. Also got the Brussels sprouts and they were some of the better Brussels I've had, crispy and the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The sliders were great for the kids, they still came with fries which I thought was surprising for an appetizer. The truffle mushroom pizza was also savory and delicious. We left we extremely full stomachs, leftovers to bring home, and a bill that was almost half of our other meals in Waikiki so far.
