Stopped in on a weeknight with my husband and parents, and seated right away. Good mix of people at the bar just for drinks and couples/groups at tables for food. My dad loved every beer he tried, and my mom appreciated that they had a hard cider too. My husband and I were digging the cocktails!! Whatever you do, don't leave this place without ordering a pizza!! Server was accommodating and I was able to build my own pizza with toppings rather than select from menu, which was really kind. The crust was SO GOOD! Perfectly thin, but chewy and crispy all at the same time. Definitely will be back when in Kailua again! read more

This place is very reliable. Great atmosphere/ decor, solid service, and tasty drinks. They have 4oz options to sample, and 12 oz full beers. The best part about this place is they have a full bar unlike other beer centric breweries. A little something for everyone. I think their shave ice seltzers are a stand out product. There are so many options for beer and seltzers out there. As a former bar manager and bartender for 15 yrs, I'm always on the look out for stand out products. They offer pizza from the brick oven food truck parked next door. Parking isn't the best, but we always seem to find a stall along the street. They are dog friendly in their outdoor sidewalk seating, so bring along the whole fur family. read more

Let's just start out with the bathroom. We sat down on an outside table. I went to the bathroom. The bathroom smells like a freaking truck stop of piss and just disgusting !!! I couldn't even breathe into my chest, disgusting and unsanitary to say the least!!! Our Server took his good old time getting to our table. We put in an order of margarita pizza, my boyfriend likes it on a toasty side (extra crispy) and I ordered the bee sneeze pizza ( no goat cheese, add mushrooms) regular. When the pizzas came out, my boyfriend's pizza seemed like it was a regular cooked pizza, and mine was overly burnt. I questioned it and our server came up to me and said well that's just how the pizza oven works. Sometimes it comes out burnt sometimes it comes out regular. So how do I make sense of his rude and unprofessional answer about my burnt pizza that i did not asked for? Very disrespectful to say the least!! Not even " Im sorry and how can I make this better for you?" Just a whatever attitude!! Very dissatisfied and disappointed in the pizza and definitely the service!!! Not cool at all!!! Treat your guests better and clean up your bathroom!!!! read more

Lanikai Brewing - Burnt Beez Neez pizza - Brewpubs Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

After a couple hours at Kailua Beach, we were starving. I found this place on Yelp, of course and thank God it wasn't busy on a weekday. We ordered the Da'Roni (Red sauce, pepperoni, basil & mozzarella) and the King of the Dill (Ranch, dill pickle chips, bacon, dill, parmesan & mozzarella). Both were DELISH! I also wanted to order the Bee's Knees (Pesto, pepperoni, mozzarella, goat cheese, spicy honey) but I am strict about bringing leftovers to our hotel or Airbnb. It usually goes to waste because we're always eating out. I ordered a hard seltzer, but it wasn't my kind of seltzer. My husband ordered one of their craft beers and enjoyed. It. We enjoyed our meal and headed out with full bellies. Thanks Lanikai Brewing! read more

Food was just OK.Dishes ordered Ahi nachos,Triple smash burger,Crispy chicken sandwich with gravy and fish sandwhich.I wasn't a fan of the crispy chicken wrap/sandwhich at all.It had a weird southern gravy with it. My husband loved his beer though so it made it worthwhile.Little hiccup with the 3rd burger patty arriving late but our waitress made it right with discount which was much appreciated! read more

Family friendly brewery that has a unique tap list; each beer is brewed with a specific local ingredient, as a cool twist on the usual styles. I had a guava IPA that was great; not too sweet, and just a little different from other juicy IPAs. I also had a salad, don't judge me. Jokes aside, it was fine, but the pizza appears to be the main attraction for food here. I saw lots of folks ordering pies while I was sitting at the bar. Pleasant atmosphere and interesting beers? Yes please. read more

Lanikai Brewing - "Other Salad" with artichokes, bell peppers, tomatoes, and Parmesan. - Brewpubs Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

We came on their weekly Trivia night (Tuesdays) and thought the ambience was lively and welcoming. The seating arrangements reminded us of Europe, perfect for the sunset. We sat on a lovely blue bench outside while waiting for a table during one of the busiest nights of the week. We were seated quickly by Kaiko, a very kind young man. Even while waiting, service was great, other workers were always checking up on us. We got the Porter and it was delectable. Trivia was electric, but more difficult than anticipated. At the bar, one of the barbacks Lohi was very personable, and took great care of us. We will definitely be back!!! read more

New trip to the islands and a return visit to what's been one of our favorite pubs on past trips. We'd mentioned before that the pizza was a bit on the soft side, and this time was similar -- still tasty with a nice chewy outer crust, but a little too moist in the center to comfortably eat by hand. We also noticed limited bar seating since three staff members were using laptops there, which made it a bit tricky for guests hoping to sit at the bar (our usual spot!). That said, the beer selection and overall vibe remain good. We'll likely spend more time in the HNL area for the rest of this trip. More choices and happy hours still exist on this side :) read more

The food here is always good. They lean slightly towards an Italian menu, but have a lot of local cuisine and fish on the menu. The big thing is the beer from their micro brewery. We have been there on fairly busy nights and service is always fairly fast but always friendly. Some of the tables are set out on the veranda, covered area and other tables are inside, but it is mostly open air seating. read more

While in the area, we stopped in for some brews and food. I wanted pizza however, there was no pizza available. However, the restaurant does host different food pop-ups weekly. This weeks featured restaurant was Travie's patties. After some contemplation we ordered and enjoyed: Lavender haze - this drink is so refreshing and I loved the lavender flavor in the drink. Mai Tai - awesome spin on a classic drink! Travie's patties- Mctravie Chimmy Fries and tater tots These smash burgers were so flavorful and delicious! Loved the McTravie and chimmy sauce. Great service, drinks and food.. I'm a fan and we'll be back to try more drinks and food from the menu. read more

Came for the beers and stayed for the cocktails! I have never been to a brewery where the cocktails are so fire. The beer is also delicious. I really loved their li hing mango beer, which is a summer special. However, the cocktails really shone. We got the purple drink and the li hing mango cocktail. Both were incredible. The food does take a long time to come out - I would dock 0.5 stars because it took probably 40 minutes for our pizza to come out. It was really delicious once it did though. Drinks were served right away. It was busy with great vibes inside. It was really busy on a Friday night. They were playing some weird show on the TV where a woman was crushing watermelons with her breasts. read more

This is a great little spot. They have their own beers and hard liquor, and a pretty good variety of everything. We sat at the bar and service was pretty consistent. Nothing spectacular but everyone was friendly. I would have to say that the food was a little disappointing since they only have wood fired pizza and no GF options (something maybe they can add in the future?!), but all in all pretty nice spot and a change from the Waikiki craziness. read more

The pizzas were excellent. It's really hard to find a good wood fire oven but the dough was nice and the cook was great. The bees knees pizza is amazing and the guy working the oven was wonderful. The jalapeño breadsticks were also amazing. The restaurant is beautiful with wood finishes on the tables and an open air front. Would 100% recommend. read more

Lanikai Tap and Barrel is a great spot with really great beer and seltzer they brew. Monkeypod, beautifully designed, tables and booths. It has an open air wall with both indoor and outdoor seating. The swing is gone. I can only imagine what happened there, ha! Pizza, charcuterie, salad, sandwiches and a few other menu items for eats. They also have cocktails! I am inspired by the owner of this place. I don't know him but I love the cultre and how they joke about "everyone who thinks they do!" What he stands for in general, great craft beer to start... the Aina, the community, how much he stepped up for Maui and the community when the fires broke out. I support as much as possible buy purchasing the beer off the shelves at the grocery stores...and it was nice to stop in again. Remember if you are visiting a beach, anything you carry in, please carry out. That is another message from most people because it is common sense, but he (owner) stands by it and isn't afraid to keep saying it! read more

Lanikai Brewing - Schwartzbier, Beer, Nitro Stout - Brewpubs Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

The beers are okay, not your untappd check in of the month. The atmosphere is nice with the wooden tables and lots of interesting people hanging around. The pizza truck, Valentina's, makes good wood-fired pizza you can order from inside the brewery and eat there. No more outside food allowed. Service is fast, but more on the neutral/rushed side rather than friendly. Good for a beer or two in a cozy place if you're not a beer snob. read more

Stopped for a cold beer and pleasantly surprised. I saw they offered a menu and to be honest I'm not the biggest can't when breweries offer food because it's not the best in my experience BUT the pizza on the menu came from the food truck outside and it was soooooo good. They also offer flights and have a great selection of beers i highly recommend their mango sour. The space was large and clean, the door were open for a breeze and they had a large fan blowing. Service was fast as we were the only ones there at first before it filled up and the server was nice. Thanks for having us! read more

Unique beers paired with pizza is always a win! What made the experience for me was the unique beer list representing beers made with a local flair. The pizza was good compared to other breweries that I have been to, so that also made for a good meal. I connected well with my server and she even made note of a recommendation I made for the pizza I ordered and said that it would become her new pizza to try. A personable server like that also helps make the experience better! It is a dining area full of low and high tables, just like you expect from a brewery, including some outside seating that was full upon my arrival. The neighborhood and locals seem to like it, and I would definitely return for some beer and a pizza next time I am in town! read more

The service was great and pualani sour ale was great! I won't dock them because we were very h happy with the pizza from the food truck since I did their own review. Interesting thing they do that I've never seen before was a self serve water cooler! The pizza looks far better than it is. I would never get it again. read more

Cute little bar with an authentic surfer vibe and some bespoke beer and spirits make this a nice treat. Drinks are on the pricy side and I don't believe they have a happy hour, but perhaps I missed the memo. The mai tai slushee with a Koloa rum float was delightfully brain freeze refreshing after a walk through the humidity and my partner enjoyed his beer. Almost went for some of the cool merch but had a little sticker shock from the two drinks we ordered. read more

After trying all the breweries in town, nothing beats the beers @ Lanikai Brewing for me. It's been too long since we last came here and we had a fantastic pau hana! Love the laid back ambiance here and beautiful wood tables. Service was excellent! Favorites of the Day: --Pillbox Porter (Hawaiian+Tahitian Vanilla) - this has won several awards (well-deserved). My all time favorite beer! Very well balanced dark beer. --Punalu'u Nitro Stout (Cacao + Macadamia Nuts) - this is a new April Release! I really hope they keep this beer around because it was so delicious! I don't know whether I like this one or the Pillbox Porter more. --Kainalu (Lime+Alaea Sea Salt) which is a sour ale for people who want a lighter drink. Very good! Highly recommend this brewery especially if you're in the area! read more

Super chill fun local brewery. Every beer on tap is brewed with at least one local ingredient, and excellent. Favorite was the sunset session but enjoyed all of them.

Solid spot for beers and cocktails. Love that Lanikai not only brews their own beers but also distills a few spirits as well. We got to try a couple of their rums which were tasty, but the macaretto blew me away. Nutty and smooth with a hint of vanilla. I've never had anything like it. Chill vibe, great spot for families and/or friends to meet up. read more

Friendly staff. Pillbox porter with Tahitian vanilla is a delicious dark beer and worth it on draft or in the can. Cool atmosphere of decorations. Does get a bit warm inside and airflow can lack at times so brings a fan if you have one. Some of the best bier on island and good variety of rotational taps. read more

The food was good, the portions large enough to share, and the service very friendly. The beer selection is a bit small but tasty. The lowest score goes to the ambience: we preferred to be outside, for the sunset visuals, but it's in a busy 2 lane street, so not great. But we will return!! read more

Great menu includes Pizza salad sandwiches and appetizers. Open air bar tables and Boots including a variety of beers on draft as well as local cocktails. Families are welcome. Has a fun little wooden swing that will entertain kids for a good 5 minutes. The pizza was surprisingly delicious and fresh tasting. Brick oven style. Kids can also enjoy a selection of Hawaiian Sun juices and non-alcoholic beverages. Service was timely Pizza does take a minute but otherwise great experience. read more

Lanikai brewing is one of our favorite little spots to bring the kids. They have ample seating inside and outside. Keep in mind, no A/C but great breeze and fans inside to keep you cool. There's a cute swing in the back, great for a photo op. Service is great - you view your menus via QR code on the table. They serve brick oven pizza freshly cooked by Valentina's food truck. We ordered the Bees Knees and Little Miss Sunshine. The Bees Knees was literally that. So delicious and worth the short wait. As for beer, Mr. Sun Cho Lee (Belgian blonde) was my favorite. read more

Visiting Hawaii and was looking for a later night food place. For some reason my Yelp searches weren't pulling very many places open past 9pm on a Saturday night. We stumbled upon this brewery. The waitresses were really nice and suggested a very different type of pizza. It was the Bees Knees and it was so delicious. I have never had honey on a pizza but this was so good. I was so happy that the waitress recommended it. This is a casual, relaxing yummy food place to try when on the big island. read more

We stopped here while exploring O'ahu and it was a good meal overall. We had a pepperoni pizza and pesto salad, both of which were tasty. The beer was decent and paired well with the food, but it wasn't the best we had on O'ahu. Our service was not very good though and it was a bit of a shame as we liked the brewery overall, but having bad service is frustrating and not something you see very often in a brewery in particular. They do have some good swag and we love the shirts we got here, so it's overall a decent place. 3.5/5 read more
