What we loved about this bar was it was more of a local hangout rather than.full of loud tourists. Great bartender and great drinks.

Great bar. Friendly people. The dark haired bartender girl was effortlessly spot on all night. Best bartender I have ever had!!! Seriously, her awareness was I thing of beauty.

A great little dive. Stopped in a couple times during our stay the bartenders were all super friendly and recommended the fish and chips. Sometimes eating at a dive can be risky but it was so good! They make their own tartar sauce and it was exceptional I don't normally care for tartar. Drinks were reasonably priced.

I popped in for a happy hour drink. Great deal on well drinks! Made from scratch Margarita was outstanding - I watched the bartender squeeze the citrus. No beer taps, bottles only. A few local regulars at the bar, and I felt welcome to sit. Didn’t get a sense for if there was food, but after about an hour I could hear that the kitchen was going. I ordered the Furukaki Fries, with the sauce on the fries, and they were amazing! I also had perfect fried oysters, and the cocktail sauce they came with was delicious. They played the Merrie Monarch festival on the tv. I love that they supported the hula participants in this ways. Restrooms were clean.

First time we went was for happy hour. We chose to sit at the bar at the last two seats available at the end. We had to shout out our orders. The Mai Tai was just OK. They have a nice selection of local beers. We had the Edamame and the Tempura Mushroom Bombers. Both were pretty good.They told us about Sunday Brunch and football season in Hawaii means games start at 8:00 am so we gave them another try. OMG! The brunch menu is very good. We shared the french toast and the omelette. Both were incredible. We sat at a table and the service was excellent. The two Bloody Mary’s were delish. And every TV screen had a different game on. Great way to start the day!

Heidi is the best! We watched a football game here and had so much fun chatting with her and a few other people at the bar. Will definitely be back next time we're in Kauai ❤️
