The atmosphere was awesome / get a seat on the patio. And the beer and food were great. Delicious burgers and pizza - and the pretzel app is really good.

Delicious food and amazing service. Really cool spot with great food. The restaurant has a cool atmosphere - we were lucky to be seated next to the pier and look out onto the water. Definitely would recommend.

Mamma Mia.... Request for TIA!!!!! Probably one of the best servers will come across... the host working yesterday was super chill too. Her food knowledge was A1 and she specials spiel was very natural! I love when a server can give me a spiel on a dish and it not feel redundant or "scripted." On that note though, I would have totally got the burger of the week if I could tolerate spice... All i heard was jalapenos... I really wanted to try the seafood linguini arrabbiata pasta. However, it does comes with a spicy marinara sauce(for those that don't know what arrabbiata is). Thankfully Tia had suggested to do it with "white sauce" (roasted garlic cream). And that my friend, is why... I say she made an amazing recommendation because I will be back for that pasta! Small things I would like to mention... i wish they had noted which items were a bit spicy... maybe with a . The Bruschetta was a bit spicy for me, but the topping mix was amazing... i believe it was the peppers on top of the crostinis... On another hand, the FUJI APPLE flatbread is the way to GO! If you are looking for something sweet and savory... it WEEERRRKS! The fig jam brings a nice little sweet wander in your mind with the tart of apple and saltiness of the prosciutto... and the bite of the apple with a nice salty finish! Every bite is different honestly!!! I love the balsamic glaze too!!! (Honestly, anything with a balsamic glaze is chef's kiss). Oh yeah and it had a nite bite because of the arugula! As mentioned, my pasta was cooked to perfection. It is not easy to get all the components to be as perfect as it was. The seafood, individually and together, was perfectly cooked and not over done. It was very abundant with the fish, shrimp, and the mussels. Like I said, I want thing again when I come back. I also tried some of my friend's pua'a taco that was tasty and filling! Lastly, i love the location, by the marina! I love the open air experience! The vibe is very laid back and just a nice spot to be. We were in the corner and could see everything. And this is how I imagined celebrating my friend's birthday! I would also like to mention... they do free beer (least that's what i was told... don't hate me if they don't do it anymore) for your birthday... of course you have to be "of age"! Anywhos, thank you sooo much Kona Brewing and Tia for making this one of my best lunch experiences!

Our server was great. The steak sandwich and the Mac salad were both only okay.

I love going and trying out the different seasonal brews. Food is very good as well. Love the ambiance right on the pier. Very relaxing eating experience.

Kona Brewing Hawaii Kai is a great place to grab a beer, cocktail and some delicious food.They have tons of very cool covered outdoor sitting. The staff is awesome. Try the pizza rolls from the appetizer menu and ask for their house made ranch dipping sauce. You won’t be disappointed!!

Visited on a recent trip to Hawaii. I grabbed a Caesar salad with grilled chicken. You can get a half or a large salad, I opted for a large upon the servers recommendation. The large had A LOT of lettuce but didn't quite balance out with the amount of chicken I had. The food was good but I also don't feel like I can fully review Kona Brewing based on food because I had a pretty basic salad. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their food.

We loved this place! The burger was delicious and the side of green beans was surprisingly amazing. We also had the chicken cob salad and loved how it was pre mixed to perfection. Fun atmosphere too!

Little pricey but food is great for a bar and I love the beer with excellent service. Bartenders are always
The salad was fresh, but so so. Not too much flavor. Beer is good. I like to go here with friends after hiking in the vicinity. No French fries here... Parking is convenient.
