So I was looking for a local brewery that has awesome lager. Reached out to Honolulu beerworks via email. Ms Lauren responded quickly, provided excellent information and service. They don't normal the Lani lager and need to submit an order. I thought it would take a while but, between Ms. Lauren and the owner/ master brewer I was able to get it within 1-2 days Awesome service and beer most definitely will be a steady customer and promoting to friends and neighbors Thank you Ms Lauren read more

I love this place. Mostly for just the beer and the pretty waitresses.. A shit-ton of college wannabe Bohemian types hang out here just ignore them no go away. Luckily they're that new generation that can't defend themselves especially after they had one beer. But if you can tolerate that kind of shit, then the place is a fantastic place to go good food too truly dig it. I think they still have growler so you can take away and those are incredibly awesome. You gotta drink them fast though never a problem with me. read more

Located next to Watanabe Florist, this huge warehouse is an awesome hidden gem in Kalihi. Easy parking, friendly staff and got a table right away. Love the huge barrels and stainless kegs in there! Love that there is a lot of space and makes an awesome background pic. Nice ambiance! Cheers! read more

What a neat brewery! They use mostly stainless steel tanks but I did see some wooden barrels. I went on a Saturday night and they had a live jazz band playing, it was such good vibes. Workers were attentive and friendly. They had cocktails, mocktails, and beers - a good variety for everyone to enjoy. There was a food stand outside for those who wanted to eat. Great vibes all around. I would highly recommend checking them out. Large parking lot - free parking! That's a huge deal here on the island. read more

Super bummed they are closing shortly. Really enjoyed the live music and good cold tall glasses of beer. Prices were reasonable too. Good Hawaii pubs are dying out and it's sad to see them go. Our waitress was always coming by and even bringing us waters. Aloha 'oe HBW! read more

Made a pitstop during my Oahu mini vacation to this little place with good vibes, chill music, and tasty beer. I literally walked in and said give me one of everything. Sure enough me and my girl were sharing tasters of everything they had available that day. Which was I believe a total of 10 beers on tap readily available. Service could've been a little better, but I don't know maybe because it was slow, or maybe because I had ordered all beers on flights. But if there is one thing that I do know, it's good beer. They do welcome people to bring outside food so that's pretty cool. I'd come back. read more

Honolulu is blessed with many craft breweries - and in my humble opinion, I believe I found my ATF in Hawaii, Honolulu Beerworks. Originally located in Kaka'ako (where other craft breweries are located), Honolulu Beerworks moved to an industrial, converted warehouse in Kalihi. It's beers are worth the drive, for me, it's the Hop Island IPA. It has the crisp, hoppiness (sort of West Coast style) which I seek. In addition to the IPA, there are others, but once I tasted the IPA, I am hooked. Parking is available in front of the establishment, even on the street. When you walk up to the brewery, you will be greeted and made welcome. To the right is a small shop to be able to purchase the usual items (t-shirts, stickers, etc.) and to the left is a counter with chairs, and tables. You can walk to the "back" where you will see the massive tanks where the "nectar of Gods" are brewed - to the right are bourbon casks filled with beer to impart further flavor. There are some snacks available, but you are there for beer so enjoy them. Purchase of sixpacks are available for takeout, and they are available in stores throughout the island. I'm in bliss finding the Hop Island IPA from Honolulu Beerworks - I did not imbibe the other offerings and may in the future, but in the meanwhile, the Hop Island IPA will be my choice of beer. read more

Celebrated a birthday here on a Friday night. I inquired through their website and exchanged email messages with their Assistant Manager. They didn't require a downpayment and everyone had their own tabs open. We had one server throughout the night named Justin. He was awesome and despite having almost 30-35 people, he was able to serve us quickly and efficiently. We were also able to bring a cake for the birthday boy. The corn holes on the Mauka Beer Garden was also nice. The string lights also gave a nice vibe to the night. The only bad thing was the smell of the fermenting beer beside us. It wasn't too bad but if you're sitting right by the brewery area, you will notice it. The cocktail drinks, beer availability, service, and venue was overall great. I will consider having another event here again. read more

This was my first time here. It's got a relaxed, t-shirt & slippers, vibe. Our group was a party of 20. We sat outside at the picnic tables (3 of them) with table umbrellas. It was pretty humid out, but our server was quick with the cold drinks. I ordered a non-alcoholic beverage. It was a white tea with a medicine like flavor that was intolerable. I let the server know and he took it off my bill. I then ordered a diet Coke and a salad. I was looking forward to the beet salad that I saw on their website menu. It didn't look like the photo I saw online. It was a bit disappointing, but the flavor was good nonetheless. Four stars because our server was so on it. He was the only one assigned to our party and he made sure to keep checking on us. It's so important these days to have good help. I will come back here one day, but will try the other salad. read more

First impression, a frat party on steroids.  Guys and ladies in togas, ladies with attitudes and great craft beer.  When I made my order, the female server rolled her eyes.  Reminiscent of almost every frat party I have ever been to. Hurray!!! I should say, the service was exceptional.  Everyone except for the one bartender was absolutely stellar. The manager Carrie here is great! Thank you Carrie! THE BEER: Cooke street USB English Style Bitter 5.9% ABV...  this is quite good Kaka'Ako Kolsch 6% ABV... what a great Kolsch and a perfect beer for Hawaii.  I found this beer style lacking here in Hawaii, but not at Honolulu Beerworks.  WINNING!!! Poseidon's Pilsner 5.1% ABV...  I finished with this.  Wish I could have started with it.  It was quite good. 24 dragons Imperial porter 10.5% ABV... thus is a smoked white porter and honestly one of the best beers I have had on the island of O'ahu... FIRE!!! So not what I expected, but exceptionally good, great, excellent! Hoppy Anniversary IPA 5.8% ABV... a delicious IPA, hop forward in the West Coast style Don't read the Rules DIPA 8% ABV... this is a sleeper, lower in ABV and sooo very drinkable, 2 or 3 of these and walking will be difficult Honolulu Beerworks is one of the most authentic breweries in Honolulu. read more

Came in as a group of six and were treated with such hospitality! We went towards larger tables around the side where it was a bit warmer but staff instantly brought out a huge fan to make it comfortable. We enjoyed the brews and playing corn hole. Fun vibe and staff played a big role in that. Wouldn't hesitate to go back. read more

Our friends invited us here as his friends were playing just this past Friday. It was rainy day that day, and we didn't the side street parking to be full. It took us a bit of time to find parking, which is why I only gave 4 stars. I like the vibe here. It's an open air indoor space, but they also had outside space too. It can get really loud inside. There are also boardgames available. They had battleship, connect four and guess who. I feel like you can bring your own, just make sure you don't forget to bring it home. The servers were really nice, we were taken care of right away. They told us to scan the QR code for the menu. As soon as I saw the mac and cheese, I knew I had to get it. But since we were waiting for our friends still, we started with the garlic parm pretzels! Those were so delicious, it came with a mustard sauce. I personally didn't like the sauce as it was overpowering. Few minutes later our friends arrived and we ordered: * Chicken Mac and Cheese -- it tasted okay, but the macaroni was tasteless, it was bland. All I could taste was the breadcrumbs which added crunch to the dish. * Beef Dip -- they were pretty generous with the beef, but the portion for its price was definitely not with it. And I wish the cheese was melted which could've elevated the flavour. The dip was good too, I thought it'd melt the cheese but it didn't. * Takes Two to Mango -- refreshing! this one's a mocktail. * Beer Flight -- all delicious, but one stood out the most. I just can't remember which one. read more

So sad they're moving locations and aren't going to be serving food at the new one! Beerworks has an amazing Reuben and Mac n cheese--some of the most solid brewery food on island. The beer is also delicious, with a wide variety of signatures and seasonal specials--my favorite is the kewalos cream ale. It's usually pretty lively in there, offering trivia, live music, cornhole. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and good for big and small groups. Service is quick considering it was packed when we went as it was trivia night. read more

Fab craft beers and plant based food! Oh hells yes! I got this fab taster flight of some amazing beer. Of course, any beer called Pussy Grabs Back, and I am way too curious not to give it a try. Plus I love me a Rye IPA and this did not disappoint. All my tastes were good. I also had the edamame hummus and ohemgee I am in love and this is utterly Hawaii's gift to plant based eaters (mahalo). My companion had the deconstructed gyro and it was very tasty. My other companion had the chicken mac and it was super good. The location is very trendy, with two carve outs on each side for variable outdoor seating. The vibe is very local and communal. There is cool art and surfing on the tv. There is plenty of great merch. We all left with some and in essence our bill doubled buhahaha. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive. Overall a fabulous evening. If I lived here this would definitely be my weekly hang. read more

Took in a quick dinner before the Bonnie Raitt Concert at the Blaisdell Concert Hall. They were already fairly busy for a Tuesday evening at 6:30. We were seated outside at one of the picnic tables under the umbrella. Server was fairly prompt at taking our order and coming back with drinks. Soon afterwards our orders came out hot. We ordered the edamame hummus created with different seasonings and crushed macadamia nuts. Included peta bread and was delish. I ordered the veggie Nan bread, which was loaded with cheese and different veggies. It was tasty, although it was alittle soggy. Husband ordered a sandwich that was very tasty. We really enjoy the vibe in the Beerhouse and will be back again. read more

Honolulu Beerworks is a great pau hana spot in Kakaako with amazing vibes. The open-air industrial decor gives off a vibe that's equal parts urban chic and lowkey lanai. This spot is ultra dog friendly! With indoor/ open air and outdoor seating. Their Kewalo Cream Ale is my go-to! And for food I really like their Pastrami Reuben and their mac and cheese. I've come here with a vegan friend before and she was able to order their hummus edamame with pita! Be prepared to shell out a bit more for this quality experience, and bring your patience for parking, or better yet, ride a Biki bike to bypass the hassle. But once you're settled in, with a cold brew in hand, grooving to the live tunes, or chatting with the ultra-welcoming staff, Honolulu Beerworks feels less like a beer joint and more like a neighborhood hangout where every face is a friend. read more

(Drank/Dined 09/24/22 SA @ 4:30pm): Honolulu and beer is a combination that works! Honolulu Beerworks was the fifth and final brewery in my exploration of the burgeoning craft brewery industry on the Hawaiian Islands but specifically on O'ahu this time around. I loved beer to no end, and was psyched to have found several breweries within minutes of each other in Honolulu. Did their beer work for me for a return visit!? PURCHASE Schwarzbier 6.2% ABV 4floz Taster ($3.00): Burnt coffee, malty, and drying - an odd Oktoberfest kind of beer https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=7OYNtNoYlZqq5_8Ljyn0lA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Honey Brew Brew Blonde Ale 5.5% ABV 4floz Taster ($2 50): Honey, sweet wheat, and smooth - a relaxing beer https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=GCY40fvpmK0Fp2lj1ACRJw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Cocoweizen Wheat Ale 5.5% ABV 4floz Taster ($2.50): Pastry, toasted coconut aroma, and clean finish - like drinking a coconut pastry https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Rwq9sRWv5vJHN3xT-P5g5A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Pronk Like A Springbok NEIPA 6.0% ABV 4floz Taster ($4.00): Citrusy lemony, hoppy, and drying - like spring cleaning https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=mWt4RDtqtxO2dLpi2fPxKA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Barrel Aged Hot Scotch Ale 7.5% ABV 4floz Taster ($4.00): Chocolatey, spicy, and hot - beer with a temperature https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=K-Q1axEMVdyBcY7HEans9w&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Beermade Bacon Mac & Cheese ($13.50): Elbow pasta and various cheeses loaded-up with pieces of smoky bacon, this was a monster of a meal and definitely meant for sharing although I took it all down myself! The cheesiness was amazing, the amount of bacon bits was more than expected, and the topping of breadcrumbs and panko was icing on this "cake" I paid for it later, but it was well worth it https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=qcX8yB6F5mTtmwK7eQ_eIA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Makakilo Brown Ale 6.0% ABV 4floz Taster ($2.50). Sweet, malty, and smooth - sit back and relax https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=bPzIiXf5mMTF3MicGgYw7Q&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Pussy Grabs Back Extra Pale Ale 6.0% ABV 4floz Taster ($3.00): Citrus, slight hoppy soapy, and light - just weird. Surf Session IPA 6.0% ABV 4floz Taster ($3.00): Citrus, slight hoppy malty, and smooth - chillin'. South Shore Stout 5.8% ABV 4floz Taster ($2.50): Burnt coffee, bitter chocolate, and mouthfeel - for coffee fiends! El Guapo Golden Ale 5.8% ABV 4floz Taster ($2.50): Light agave lime aroma, slight cilantro, and crisp - olé https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=AgoR-Gp7iNEpZkq9Q3DN0w&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Small Logo Stickers ($1.00 x2): I loved stickers and enjoyed placing them at other breweries to spread the love https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=U_O7UdGwB5cw3AJ027r1Vg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE I casually entered, sat myself at an open stool at the bar, and immediately greeted by a friendly young man behind the bar who broke down highlights of their beers and soon after set me up with my first taster flight in addition to food and more beer during my 2+ hours there. I was checked on periodically, empty glasses removed, and settling my bill was quick and painless - mahalo! PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance) Street parking only, so since I couldn't find anything along the main drag of Cooke St., I parked on nearby Auahi St. and walked a block. Be advised of both street meters and posted signs, so please read carefully. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located inside a large shack with a bar (purse hooks!), plenty of inside and outside seating that utilized mainly communal wooden tables and benches https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=OYkEEO3v9MNl5OQYzQc0rA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, and a corner area for live entertainment https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=8lzqWs8LdFrfOVNXinu5Hw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Minimal decorations covered the walls, and a visible beer menu hung behind the bar https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=eNkXfxbcp0v7plJfGOBUvA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. A couple TVs throughout while a mix of cool dance music played in the background in addition to live entertainment. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=meqLdLWdFuDNfl0pwh9x8Q&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Honolulu Beerworks was fun and would definitely return. I liked the quantity of varied beers, the prices were comparable, the food menu was better than expected, and service was more than sufficient. The place also appeared to be family and pet-friendly. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $46.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS read more

The venue: Nice place, plenty of bar seating and table seating, outdoor area and staff that are attentive and keep an eye on you. Parking is pretty much only street parking but we usually find a spot. The beer: Very good selection of beer, some rotating and some small batch stuff. Quality is typically very good but we've noticed some core beers aren't always consistent in abv or taste (confirmed with a bartender) when we visit every other year. The prices: HH pricing makes the beer much more affordable and allows us to 'splurge' and get one or two of the more premium or small batch beers without breaking the wallet. HH prices on food is 25% off 'munchies' but our last experience with a pizza was not great. Pizza was tiny and even after HH price $12+ was still too much for that small pizza. Other munchies might be a better value. Would we go back? Yes, we've been here every trip to the islands but mainly for the beer and not the food. read more

My fiancé and I did a little brew tour when we visited Honolulu for our first time and we really enjoyed our experience. They have a lot of seating indoors and a really cute outdoor alley to sit in as well. We chose to sit outdoors at night with the twinkle lights! The beers were really good and we had a few food items to snack on as well. We got the pretzels and the Buffalo chicken flatbread. They were the perfect little snacks to pair with our beers. I'd definitely recommend checking them out! It seemed to be a great place for groups and/or for a more intimate setting. read more
