Kona Brewing Company Hawaii Kai Pub

I wanted to find a place that had local food and drink and this place was it! It was busy but we were still able to get sat right away. However whatever time we got sat there was a shift change or a section change because there was quite the confusion on which server had us as a table. It seemed as though neither server wanted us. Then the host came over and asked if we had been greeted and we said no. So it was about 15 minutes before someone came over to our table which was a bit disappointing. Since the restaurant and the server were so busy literally everything took a long time. We ordered beers and also a large pulled pork pizza to share and it was all good! Even the Ranch! Definitely recommend the pizza. Our server was friendly, but he was just so busy to be able to really serve us properly. Overall we enjoyed our meal here and glad we had the extra time to spend here and had nowhere to be since it was a little bit of a time suck. The atmosphere is nice and there is even an outdoor deck area overlooking some water. It would be cool to sit out there. Given the variety on the menu and the fact that we like brewery settings, we may be back.

We come to this island twice a year and we always have to make a stop at Kona Brewing. The atmosphere, location right on the water and the food will all keep you coming back. This is one of the very few places that the adults and kids can all agree that the food is super good. Our kids are very picky so that’s saying a lot. See y’all soon!

Great bar and restaurant by the Kona Brewing brewery. Really good selection of own brewed beer that cover a wide range of beer selection and flavors. Additionally the food and service is also really outstanding so that you can easily spend a couple of nights but also lunch breaks here and won't get bored. 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommend!!

Came here on a whim and we were not disappointed. Service was great, beer was fantastic, and the food was top notch. Three of us opted for different varieties of pizzas and they were all wonderful. Our friend got the cubano sandwich and it was huge! I had the porter beer and it was one of the smoothest porters I’ve ever had. My only recommendation, is that the menus get regularly cleaned. Ours were a little sticky. Aside from that, all was great and we will be returning.

Can't beat the location right on the waterfront. Plenty of TVs for sports games and an overall great atmosphere. Even trivia nights. Service was great, super friendly, and the food and drinks came out quick. As the OG brewery on the island, I just wish they had more of a variety of beer. No sours? Or more fruity beer.
