Pint And Jigger

This is NOT your typical hotel bar... probably because it used to be located elsewhere & just happened to find new, bigger quarters at the Ala Moana hotel. The scotch selection alone with make any connoisseur's heart beat faster (kinda wanna be locked in there for a week and try them alllll), the cocktail menu is eclectic & fun, and the bar staff friendly & knowledgeable. The beer leans heavily towards IPAs and pale ales, both of which I despise, but their "The Floor is Guava" sour was so good I got two :-) The food looked pretty great all around, and the seafood cakes with tobiko vinaigrette and caper sauce were fantastic: crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. The scotch egg comes highly recommended, so that'll be the next thing to try. Opening hours are also longer than most hotel bars I've been to. Really excellent.

I had a cocktail called Catch Her In the Rye, which was a great, refreshing drink. I don't know what was in it exactly, but the server compared the flavor to a pink lemonade, which I would agree to, but less sweet and balanced flavor. We had the fried pickles and mushroom toast. The snacks were excellent, executed well, and tasty!

Best meal I’ve had in memory! Was a bit apprehensive, as a New York City based foodie who had seen the gastropub scene 10-15 years ago and felt like food might be dated. But boy was I wrong. Scotched egg was perfect with a kahlua pork Hawaiian twist. Bone marrow was an amazing reminder of why the bone marrow craze got so big back then. Drinks were balanced and creative and perfect. Good smoky manhattans, complex modern flavors. Oh other highlight was vegan beet poke!!

This is a really nice find that we didn't expect as we were waiting for our reservations at another place. The fried pickles are awesome and the drinks delicious. I had two different drinks but I definitely recommend the lilikoi drink. Our server, Preston, was awesome and recommended both my drinks. Honestly, his service is what took this place from a 3/4 to a certain 5.
