Hands down the best place for a casual drink, pupus (appetizers) and local music.!…read more I have a rare day off from work during the week and there was no question where I was gonna go. I'm sitting at the bar listening to local music with a beautiful breeze and a cold beer. It's actually my third beer (on't worry, I'm blind, so I'm not driving) Lol The bartrendress checks in frequently to make sure everyone's okay and although I'm not getting food here today, the pupus are always fresh and hit the spot. Bring yourself, family, friends, co-workers to this spot that has entertained locals and visitors alike for many years with friendly service and professional drink and food quality.

Drinks are decently strong and consistently good, tho their version of a mai tai was more...unexpected. Lewers lemonade was good. Slight discount on doubles. The $2 oysters available 3:00-5:30pm Mon-Fri are OK. Bartender said they're from Washington state, he didn't know anything else about them. Came out with cocktail sauce and vinegar with onion bits. Chocolate gelato was typical grocery store gelato, with a little sprinkle of "cookie dirt". It hit the sweet tooth spot just fine. I was intrigued when I saw the avocado tacos on the menu -- they turned out extremely underwhelming. Very bland. For anyone with regular access to good Mexican food...avoid. Service is slow, but we weren't in a hurry. Love the live music & overall vibe!

(430pm-630pm) I love the vibe here and the late 90s R&B playing in the background was amazing. We ordered the burgers, sliders, fish and chips and they were all tasty. No complaints there but I did wish they had a happy hour food menu like they used to. Our server, Sinclair, was so accommodating, attentive and super friendly. She was on top of it and I appreciated that because they looked so short staff. She took good care of us! We played shuffle board in the back room and had a blast. This place has good vibes and I highly recommend it. One of the best bars in Honolulu with high end well drinks.

The patio is a fantastic space to relax and enjoy a beer. I took advantage of happy hour and ordered the crispy rice and poke bowl, and it was delicious. I also got a flight of beers, which I always appreciate at breweries because it lets me try multiple brews. There were plenty of other food options on the menu too, including dessert. One really fun touch: they even have a special dog menu since dogs are welcome on the patio! Overall, this is such a great spot to spend an afternoon--good beer, delicious food, a great outdoor space, and excellent service. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a relaxed brewery experience on Oahu!

For food-wise, we stuck to the classics, loaded nachos and chip/dip. Regular food pricing is on par with most other bars in town but they do have happy hour pricing. Would I come back? Possibly, their poke food dishes sounded very tempting:

Firstly, the vibes are IMMACULATE. 20/10…read more Wild Orange is a speakeasy hidden behind an old-school Aloha Maid vending machine. Apparently you're normally supposed to put a coin in to open the secret door, but it's broken right now, so the whole vending machine just swings right open. Slightly less secret, but still very cool. Inside is where this place really shines. Moody lighting, a giant orange tree in the middle of the room, Japanese hip hop playing in the background (I want to steal this entire playlist), and extremely cool and friendly servers and bartenders. I've been to a few other attempted "speakeasies" in Honolulu, but most are basically just dark bars with a fun door or code word. Wild Orange actually has the VIBES to make the whole concept work. Definitely worth coming just to hang out and chill. They have a full bar and an extensive specialty cocktail menu. Tried the Purple Dragon, made with ube liqueur and coconut cream. Very sweet--a little TOO sweet for my taste--but tasty and pretty. Probably should have listened to the menu and kept it as a shot, but I wanted something I could sip on for a while and chill. The Umeshu Highball was also very pretty and tasty. My friend who works as a sake distributor was impressed with their selection of good sake, so of course we had to order a bottle. Our server brought it out in an ice bucket, kept it off to the side, and completely served it for us throughout. Very classy. The food menu is fun and creative, but unfortunately not really for me because it's entirely vegan. Most times, but ESPECIALLY when I'm drinking, I want MEAT. Tried the Wild Musubi, a vegan Spam musubi. I'm not actually sure what the "meat" was. Possibly fried tofu? Whatever it was, it was definitely a passable alternative, but would have been 100x better if it were just plain old Spam. It also falls victim to what I find is a common problem with vegan attempts at Japanese food: anything teriyaki ends up being way too treacly sweet without actual meat or seafood to ground it in reality. Also tried the Char Siu Tofu Bao, fried tofu in a red Chinese-style char siu sauce on fluffy white buns. Again, fun and certainly not bad, but these would be 1000x better with actual pork. If Wild Orange had this exact same creative food menu but carnivore edition, this place would probably be 7/5 stars for me. That being said, I know being vegan will actually be a huge draw for some people, and I appreciate that the food is creative rather than just the usual sad vegan afterthoughts. Parking is pretty easy by Honolulu standards. It's inside Hawaiian Brian's, so there's a large shared parking lot. That being said, you might still have trouble finding a spot during peak gym hours since you're competing with all the 24 Hour Fitness customers. All in all, I LOVE this place. Definitely a fun stop--first, middle, only, or nightcap--on a chill night out. Will absolutely be adding Wild Orange into the rotation of places to bring out-of-town guests when I want to impress them with something cool and different. The vegan menu probably means it'll be a couple-times-a-year place for me rather than a regular haunt. But for drinks, service, atmosphere, and pure VIBES? 20/10.

What an AWESOME experience!!!!…read more This place is so much fun! Some of the best food we've had in a LONG time, amazing service, great music, delicious drinks, and chill-ass vibes. We had such a great night and cannot wait to come back! We definitely spent some money tonight, but WOW, what an experience! For 4 adults, 2 drinks each, 2 cold plates, 4 tacos, 2 hot dishes, 2 sides, and 2 desserts, we spent $389. And honestly? Every single thing we ate was worth talking about! The older gentleman who seemed to be an owner or one of the patrons was absolutely wonderful and so much fun to chat with. Our waitress was awesome, too! Great service all around. Now, let's talk about the food because EVERY. SINGLE. THING. was delicious! * The Tartar: Excellent! * The Crudo: Absolutely awesome! * The Brussels sprouts: So crispy, it was killer! * The pasta: LORDY, MY GOODNESS! * The crab rice cakes: Honestly, one of the best things we've eaten in a LONG time. We were practically fighting each other to get the last bites. Hahaha! * The poached pears: SO GOOD! And that sticky blondie?! Sticky, chewy, and crispy all at the same time. We were fighting over that one, too! Between the food, drinks, music, atmosphere, and genuinely great service, this place absolutely delivered. It's not an inexpensive night out, but we had an incredible experience, and every dish left us wanting more. We all walked out stuffed and barely made it back to our vehicles.

It kind of reminded me of a "speak easy" with the vibes. There is bar seating, tables, and even some couches! Surprisingly, there was no wait and we were seated right away.

My favorite was the Prosciutto Arugula salad- a nice healthy option. I also really enjoyed the Ulu tacos! Instead of traditional tortillas, breadfruit slices took its place.
