    Greek Salad
    Krystle T.

    Stopped by a couple times last month during our visit to Kauai since it was conveniently located next to the hotel we were at. Staff was friendly and we were able to watch the OKC vs. Denver game here. On separate occasions, we ordered the Greek Salad, Italian Chopped Salad, Lavaman Red Ale, Paradise Ube Cider, and Fried Calamari. The salads were pretty good and although the Fried Calamari wasn't as crunchy as I hoped it would be, the sriracha aioli was a nice touch. They have a wide variety of alcohol available and I was a big fan of the Paradise Ube Cider. I was a little bummed to hear this is only available in Hawaii but hopefully it'll make it's way to the mainland some day. BV's is a good choice if you're staying close by!

    Salad and grill items on menu

    Very friendly and helpful server, he was great! Bartender was top notch as well. The boys came in for a bourbon and rum tasting, had lunch instead. They are right next door to Bobby V's, they must share the kitchen because the menu has plenty of Italian items from appetizers, salads, pasta, entrees, pizza's, sandwiches. The Italian chopped salad was delicious with a balsamic vinaigrette. We ordered a side of garlic cheese bread which came with a marinara dipping sauce. BLT's were tasty came with fresh fries. Pizzas are on point. Eggplant Parmesan looked tasty too! Great beer selection, amber ale was tasty.

    Pizza with an insect topping

    We now know how small the island restaurant industry is. This place is owned by the same negligent crew that owns Bobby V's pizza. On our way back to Princeville stopped in for a bourbon and noticed how disgusting the place was. Our sneakers were sticking to the floor as we walked in and you could smell the two day old booze in the air. Sat at the bar for five minutes, waiting to be acknowledged and saw the advertisements for their pizza place, and then it all made sense. This lack of service and cleanliness is definitely the owner's calling card. As we were realizing this, the other two people at the bar overheard and agreed told us they sent back their water glasses because they had lipstick on them. As much as I wanted a glass of bourbon, I said let's wait till we get back to our hotel and ran out of there.

    Pretty fun of the mill Italuan. Decent pizza, pretty good salad, decent wine choices.

    Buffalo Chicken wings

    I had the Buffalo Wings, and they were VERY vinager-y. The ambiance was pretty loud, and the server we had was nice.

    Spinach Dip - SUPER TASTY!! I used my chips instead of the bread.

    We tried to go to Bobby V's but they weren't open yet so they referred us here if we didn't want to wait. As soon as we walked in we were seated fairly quickly by a female waitress who was getting ready to leave for the day. My husband & I both had separately went to the rest room, and still sat there waiting to be talked to for at least 10 additional minutes before anyone even came to take our drink order. Then Isaiah our waiter came over to introduce himself, extremely checked out & clearly not wanting to be at work. We ordered an Ice Tea and quickly he told us they were out for the day So we both just ordered water and an appetizer of Spinach Dip. I then ordered Cheese Ravioli and Isaiah proceeded to laugh and say nope we are out of that too while looking everywhere else in the bar besides us while we are trying to order. Thank goodness they had pizza! Our water was never refilled. When it was time to leave. We paid the bill and our waiter was never to be seen again. My husband had to ask the Bartender if he had a bag for our to go containers and he directed us to go to the other side of the bar instead of providing customer Service. The bar was NOT busy at all and we were made to feel as if we were not wanted there! SAD!! We will NOT be going back! First Impressions are everything!

    Stopped in on a Sunday for drinks and pupus. Variety of seating situations, easily fit our group. Cozy indoor area with tables and bar seating. My party ordered a variety of alcoholic beverages to sample the menu, 50% of our Sri is tastes watered down. The pupus were decent. The bruschetta was strange, fresh tomatoes and onions with balsamic vinaigrette.

    The food is amazing. The service is fantastic. And I love the scenery and the ambiance! I love this place would really recommend it.

    Beautiful bar! So many brands we'd never seen before.

    While exploring the island, we happened upon this shopping center and found BV's. The drinks were delicious and the service was unbeatable. We had the the La Donna Margarita and can't wait to come back for a tequila flight.

    Drink menu

    BV's Bourbon & Ale House is a chill place good choice of beers. The food is good with a relaxed atmosphere. The staff is friendly and service is good. If you want to grab a beer and something to eat it's a cool hang out.

If you're staying at the Hilton, you get two free Mai Tai vouchers per day at check in, which makes this spot an easy go to. One of the highlights was the chickens casually wandering up to the bar and the locals sharing background stories and cultural insight about the island. Relaxed, welcoming, and a really fun place to hang out.

The flatbread was tasty, with home made tomato sauce and loaded with prosciutto, but it was overly salty. The lamb was excellent, the polenta that went with it was a little dry. The fish had a pesto coating. It was nice but nothing special. The steak was cooked perfectly with a nice crust while the inside was medium rare, and came with delicious mushrooms, potatoes and asparagus. Overall we were very happy. we debated rating this a three or four. It was a bit pricey for what we got, but everything in Kauai is!
