This is everything I imagine for a local brewery establishment. Very welcoming staff and super chill environment. The beers are solid, the 808 and Skinny Jeans are my faves but the English Brown and Hana Hou are on point too. Love the smash burgers, nachos and pretzels. Didn’t find a bad thing on the menu. Definitely worth checking out

The Kiawe Smoked Brisket was D E L I C I O U S. Best brisket I’ve had in years. Savory flavor. Our waitress, Morgan, was outstanding. Great personality and super professional. Highly highly recommend this place. Will definitely come here again.

A bar where you can drink in a corner of the brewery. You can also see tanks and facilities. Samples start at around $3 for 4 ounces, so you can enjoy a wide variety of options. There was some food available, but it seemed like a lot of food so I decided against it.

The flagship location for a beachy, unpretentious brewpub, from the same ladies as Cheeseburger in Paradise. The nightly specials are the best deal in town - burger night killed it (ref picture of my pulled pork & pineapple burger). I also recommend the furikake fries. The only brewery with a spicy beer that I've found on Oahu (Jalapeno Mouth), not for everyone, but with moderate beers otherwise. ?

Dropped by Waikiki Brewing in Kakaako last night and it's a solid four-star hangout in my books. The mission? To quench my thirst with a flight of beer and tackle their much-raved-about smash burger.Let's talk about the burger first - it's a home run! We opted for the double patty (thanks to the extra $4 splurge) and it paid off. The patties were the perfect blend of crispy edges and juicy center, hugged by a bun that was soft yet sturdy enough to stand up to the beefy challenge. Condiments? Just the right amount to elevate, not overwhelm. It's the kind of burger that doesn't just fill you up, it fulfills you.Moving on to the beers - they were good, but didn't steal the show like the burger did. Each brew in the flight was a decent sip, but none hit the "write home about it" level.As for vibes, it's as laid back as they come, even if the heavy rock soundtrack played a little hard to get. But hey, it didn't deter from the overall chill factor.Service was a standout. It's always refreshing when the staff is eager to share what they love - makes the decision process a whole lot easier and the experience more personal.
My husband I had lunch and here and it was fantastic. I had the Teri Smash Burger and he had the chicken wrap. We started off with the smoked wings and a flight of beers. Deanna was an awesome server. Highly recommend the Aloha Spirit Blonde Ale and Trade Winds Pina Colada Ale. Really enjoyed this place.

Yay to another brewery adventure! Stopped in for brunch with my YEE partners for brunch. Driven past this brewery several times but I never thought to stop in. Parking- there are a few stalls in front of the brewery. If they're full, there's a paid parking lot on Ilaniwai street. The restaurant is large and spacious. Plus- lots of TV's to catch any games and the restaurant is pet friendly. Daily happy hour 3-5 pm. Food: Smoked wings- loved the dry rubbed seasoning and flavors! Highly recommend ordering this dish ! Nachos with smoked pork- tajin on nachos what? This dish is perfect for sharing and full of flavors! You can add smoked pork, impossible meat or slab brisket. Teri smash burger- utterly delish! Unique spin on a Teri burger.Drink- I happily enjoyed a michelada and aloha spirit blonde ale We had a great time dining here! Much so that I've already visited the restaurant again for dinner/ happy hour.

This is a great locals bar. Plenty of patio seating and a good bar area. Their beer was quite tasty. They have several televisions that have ballgames, surfing and old movies on.

Nothing special here. Tried several different beers and none of them worked for meMind you I'm a craft beer junkie. Service took a while after we were seated and they weren't very busy. The atmosphere is good and it very comfortable.
