Hana Koa Brewing is definitely worth the drive or bike ride because it's not in Waikiki, but the…read moretrip is absolutely worth it if you're looking for something a little different from the traditional beers you can get anywhere. The space has a more upscale feel, with a really nice vibe inside and plenty of tables. They have a great selection beyond their own beer, including cocktails, wine, non-alcoholic drinks, and guest taps. I especially loved that they offered smaller beer pours, which let me try several different beers without committing to a full pour of each. I was there for the beer, and I definitely wasn't disappointed! I was also really impressed by the food menu. They had lunch specials that sounded fantastic, and they even offer a brunch menu with special brunch cocktails. I wasn't hungry enough to try the food this time, but it definitely gives me a reason to come back. Great beer, a beautiful space, and lots of options for everyone. Definitely recommend adding Hana Koa to your Oahu brewery list!

More like 3.5 stars...here's why…read more Attentive, friendly service the moment you step inside. Too many IPAs. If you prefer something else, the lager-type offering tastes basic. An afterthought at best, which is why we usually go elsewhere. Parking lot for convenience, but ONLY if you don't come at peak hours. Otherwise, it's a shit show. Why bad beer and iffy parking can be tolerated. Possibly the best fish and chips I've had on island and beyond. You get a generous, flaky filet fried in a crispy, golden beer batter with the proper proportion of fish to coating. It's paired with seasoned french fries that come hot and fresh. But. The rest of the menu is hit or miss. The burger was underwhelming. The grilled chicken sandwich arrived dry even though it was thigh meat. Some serious quality issues if that gets out of the kitchen. The list goes on. Honestly, I come back for the fish. And that's about it.

When you first arrive, you walk through the shop and then have the option of taking the stairs--which are quite a few--or the elevator upstairs. Once you get to the actual restaurant and bar area, you're greeted with a nice little view of Waikiki below. The bar is pretty long, so I opted to sit there. They had Maui Brewing Company limited-release beers, guest taps from all over Hawaii, and their traditional year-round beers. They also have cocktails and slushies. They offer a happy hour with pizza and appetizer specials, plus $2 off beer and $3 off craft cocktails. The food menu was pretty extensive, with appetizers, salads, craft pizzas, sandwiches, and classic dinner favorites like New York steak and macadamia nut-crusted mahi mahi. They also have a kids' menu. I was mainly there to taste the beer, and I enjoyed trying some of their limited releases. The bartender was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions, which I really appreciated. They have TVs where you can watch the game, and they also had music playing, so I think this would be a fun spot to come back to at night. They even offer a late-night happy hour. Definitely a fun place to stop by if you're in Waikiki and looking for some good beer, food, and a lively atmosphere!

No wait for our party of 2, and we were sat immediately at a high top communal style table. It is a bar type establishment, with pour your own beers and wines on the wall. Not super noisy, but everyone was having their conversations and having a great time. Everything on the menu sounded delicious, and food walking past us looked amazing! The only difference to this establishment was instead of a server taking our order, we were instructed to go to the front podium to place the order when we were ready. We opted for the Fried Calamari with Cilantro Lime Aioli to start, and ordered the Chop Salad with Tofu and the Verde Bowl. The food came out so quickly, and we were actually surprised with the portion sizes for all the dishes. We were able to share the salad and bowl and still had enough to pack a take out box. Everything was delicious! I'm sure it can get busy on the weekends, but overall seems like a nice place to chill with good food, good drinks and good conversation. Wish we had more time to hang out!

Had sliced avocado and seeds, but mostly greens. The Grilled Cheese was mostly pork adobo and very little cheese. The adobo was on the salty side and didn't have the tangy adobo flavor, sadly. The bread was nicely buttered and crispy, though. Giant steak fries came with it and they were tasty. We both wanted to like this place but it seemed like only one guy was working the floor and the check-in/payment (don't like having to pay a tip in advance if service hasn't been provided yet) and serving the food. It looked like only one person was in the kitchen, too. It wasn't busy so we didn't have to wait long to be served. A plus.

Came here on a whim with some friends while our girls went shopping. The menu looked good with a…read morevariety of choices. Went in and sat ourselves. I like that we get to pick our table. They have tables that could easily sit 12 people (probably more with kids). They also have counter-height tables that seat about four, and of course, there's the bar. Bathrooms were spacious and clean. Immediately after we sat, a worker brought us menus and showed us the QR code to order. At first we were taken aback but it turned out to be super efficient. Since we wanted to pay separately, it was easy since we simply had to open our own tabs. Plus, we didn't have to wait or flag down anyone if we wanted to order more food or drinks, just add it to the tab. We got the ahi dip, oxtail soup, smashburgers, lechon, honey chicken burger, onion rings, and fries. The chips were just a little stale and the lechon needed a bit more salt. The dip was good and the lechon was crispy. Onion rings for the burgers is an extra charge, but they give a lot! I was expecting seven onion rings but they gave at least 12. The food was good so much so that I want to go again and try more. Our 16oz Mililani Red was terrific. I mean, beer is what they're known for. It was $7.50. We also got samples of the slushies of the day: Liliko'i-Orange-Guava and White Peach Lemonade. Both were really good. Perfect slush consistency. LOG slushie had a good bit of tang from the liliko'i. The white peach one was creamy with a nice hint of peach. Definitely need to try other drinks next time we come.

The server NEVER came around to ask how our food was. Probably didn't want to hear how terrible the 'tacos' were.

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!

As for the food, it is a hit & miss. Some of our party liked their salad w/fried Char Siu chicken, onion rings and tots were also good appetizer food to munch on. Others had the Kalua Pig burger which was real salty. I had their Loco Moco with their dark gravy, which also was a bit too salty. I also chose to have the burger cooked medium well, which was a bit too tough to chew. I should have chosen medium. (An update to my previous post - I upgraded this review to 4 stars, from previous 3. As we left the place, the nice waitress stopped my friend who had the Kalua burger & gave her a new Kalua as the chef threw out the previous batch & made a new one. She loved it. Now who does that in today's world, listened to the customer & make a new batch & even sought out the person to make it right. This is a place to definitely come back to. Awesome Beer Lab!!!) The drinks were their pluses. And their service was excellent. Our waitress was very nice & very attentive. I did like their ordering system thru Toast where you scan a barcode & order & pay before the food gets to you. You can pay individually or as a group. Keep in mind the group tip is set at 20%, but the waitress deserved it.
