What a relief to find a place like this in Hawaii!!! We love all the food here, but to have this experience with exceptional British classics on their menu with excellent cocktail combinations that will give you all the cozy comfort feels!!! The English toffee pudding. It's so so hard to find one made with dates. A ton of places call a lava cake with caramel sauce as English toffee pudding which it's not. But this is amazing, and pretty authentic cooking techniques. The cocktail menu is incredible! Their smash burger for lunch is wonderful!!! The brisket burger was very good. Then we had this mushroom bacon toast as an appetizer. We should have ordered two!!! We were basically fighting over it! Service was perfect and the waitstaff was attentive. Food came out fast. This place is so nice and beautiful inside. So lucky to have found this place. Cannot wait for a date night!! read more

I've realized that when a bar has a more complex cocktail menu, pre batching is almost necessary, and that does seem to be the case here. The space itself is small and really cute, and clearly popular. They were fully booked even on a Tuesday. That said, it does make for a pretty tight environment. Tables are close together and you can easily hear conversations from across the room, so it does not feel very intimate or quiet. The drink itself was just okay. I am usually a vodka person and had the Romantic Lead. It was good, but nothing particularly memorable, and the portion felt very small. On the positive side, the staff was great and the crowd had a really good vibe. Overall, the service and people were wonderful. It was just the atmosphere that felt a bit off for me. read more

10/10 for their customer service! I got their fairly early for my reservation, and they allowed me to sit at the table. I ordered a mocktail, but had to omit something from the drink because I was allergic. I was happy they notified me that it may taste a little strong (sweet) without that ingredient. I was a little disappointed that they didn't recommend something to exchange it with. Seeing that they make all drinks in house (no sodas), I thought maybe that was something they'd do. But the drink still came out ok. Their Pork Bao Buns were AMAZING!! Juicy and crispy center, with a semi "apple" sweet flavoring and crispy outside. The bun itself was steamed... it does get stuck to your teeth, but so delicious. I wish I could say the same for their salad... I ordered the Chopped, added sardines and avocado (they were out of avocado). I asked for my dressing on the side. Salads came with dressing in it... and my presentation was great. But my guest was very unimpressed. She ordered the same thing as me but with added chicken and no olives... hers looked like lettuce and chicken... a kids meal. then someone from the kitchen came out with EXTRA dressing for me (I think our server mixed up What she typed in). The cook asked if everything was ok, my guest explained what's wrong, and they fixed it. With a smug look... but none the less, fixed it. Their Chai latte was phenomenal as well. But our server said she'd come back and take another beverage order... she didn't. We really wanted to try another mocktail. But that's alright. The chairs that we sat in were large purple swivel chairs... if you get this spot ASK TO MOVE! They do not have enough space in that restaurant for their guests & servers to walk through without hitting the chair! Unless you are a size 0, walking through, you hit the chair, and the person sitting in it, SPINS. So through out my stay, I was getting bumped and turning left and right. My guest thought it was hilarious... I on the other hand felt like I was in those TEACUPS in Disneyland! The server did her best, so she still got a 20% tip. Keep in mind, there already is a KITCHEN fee automatically put on your receipt. All in all, if you go there for lunch, do not get any salads, sit in a booth, and order HOT food only. But I'll go back in the evening to see if it is a little better of an experience. read more

One of my favorite places to grab drinks. The food was also delicious. The espresso martini was my favorite because they put some matcha powder on the top and something about it just elevates it a lot. It reminds me of a speakeasy, even though it's not hidden at all. I love the vibe of this place and cant wait to take my mom back. Also... they decorated really nicely for Halloween which is my personal favorite. read more

Visited Podmore on Vday and it was a lovely experience. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive. We came to an earlier dinner timeframe which was nice because it wasn't overly crowded or too loud. We ordered the fries, which were ok but the ketchup was delicious. It tasted like a jelly ketchup which was different, but very flavorful. We also ordered the truffle lasagna and we found it to be extremely heavy. Flavor was good, too much truffle for my liking (but some may love that). I ordered the pot pie and that crust was to die for!!! Best dish of the night hands down! For our appetizer, we ordered the smoked salmon dip and that too was delicious! Overall the experience was lovely. read more

First time visiting. We used to live on island, but now only visit once a year. This was my favorite dining experience on the whole trip. I loved the aesthetic. Service was friendly and attentive! The mocktails were delicious. I ordered the Shepherd's pie which was amazing! One of the best variations I've ever had. The others in my party got the steak and ale pie and thought it needed more filling. I could tell they both wished they got the Shepherd's pie. Highly recommend a reservation. Can't wait to return next trip! read more

If you're looking for a bar that prioritizes quality and the experience of patrons, Podmore is just that place. Its upscale, trendy speakeasy vibes is perfect for its location in Downtown where you can catch folks after work or treating themselves for a special occasion. However, don't be intimidated by its looks. The service is very friendly and welcoming -- washing away any preconceptions you may have. But the cocktails and food are what you come for. The cocktails prioritize quality liquors and house made mixers to make any concoction sheer perfection. If it's your first time, I highly recommend splurging on the premium side of the menu. You'll not only get a great cocktail, but also an amazing presentation. The food is not just your regular type of bar food. While you can get fries (which are great by the way), you can also get a genuine take on a shepherd's pie. I also really enjoy the smoked salmon dip. Like the cocktails, I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. Street parking is very limited but, if you don't mind walking, there are plenty of municipal lots nearby. If you live in town, I'd uber so you can truly enjoy your brunch or evening there. read more

Podmore - Sunday Brunch menu | Dec. 2025 - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Podmore absolutely nails the ambiance - stylish, upscale, and one of the most beautiful brunch spaces in Honolulu. The Smoked Salmon Dip was a great start, and both the Christmas Breakfast and Brisket Hash were rich, flavorful, and perfectly executed. Adding the bacon and black pudding was the move. Service was attentive, and the Prosecco paired perfectly with brunch. Definitely more of an elevated brunch experience than a casual spot, but worth it for the atmosphere alone. read more

You have to have brunch here! Ogres Have Layers - OH. MY. GOSH. the best martini espresso we have ever had! It was so smooth and I love the matcha cream foam! The Dartmoor - 1000/10! We've never experienced a drink like this! Its multi-sensory presentation should have its own reward! The aromas were the icing on the cake! This drink was so smooth, too! Beef brisket hash - big portion! The chimichurri made this dish so flavorful. Fried chicken & waffles - potato waffle with truffle white gravy! YUM! "Christmas Breakfast" - house smoked salmon with brown butter hollandaise! Smoked soufflé pancake - The texture is different than a traditional soufflé, but it's so good! The presentation was cool, too! Service was good! Nothing about this experience felt rushed and that was nice. The interior and decor is so aesthetic. The velvet is so chic. Highly recommend everything we ordered. You can't go wrong. read more

Just a quick update since enjoying another great brunch here with Joe K. My go-to for brunch has always been the Christmas Breakfast but this time there was a brunch item i hadn't seen before, Beef Brisket Hash, and it was another terrific dish. It came with a sunny-side up egg and drizzled with chimichurri. Super delicious. Joe K did order the Christmas Breakfast again and we ended up splitting both our dishes so we could enjoy both...teamwork makes the dream work! There were also some new seasonal cocktails. I started with the "Do you know the muffin man" which was a holiday spiced whiskey sour. It came in a cute gingerbread man cup and was very tasty. Still one of my favorite eateries in downtown. read more

Loved the coziness of the place. It's quaint and feels like an old fashion bar. The cocktail menu had me salivating. I can't remember the names of our cocktails but they were perfect. We shared the pork buns that were pork belly with pickled onions and apple sauce. I didn't care for the herbed bun but the filling was tasty. The pork was nice and crisp. We shared the fish and chips. We could tell the fish was fresh and the chips were hand cut. My favorite was the sauce that comes with it. It was almost like a creamy chimchuri sauce. I wish the offered my appetizers for Pau Hana. I can see why so many people come here. I missed the desserts. read more

Just went for Desert and cocktails. Had a rez but took a while to be seated. Staff were really friendly. Interior is nice and upscale. Although our seat was covered in crumbs when we sat. Took their drink recommendations - Notorious P.I.G tasted like Al Pastor tacos - very well balanced and highly recommend. The valentine special cocktail (strawberry old fashioned) and 'something to sing about' were interesting flavors but not great. The bonoffee pie and sticky toffee pudding were amazing. read more

Perfect place for a girls lunch or moody drink after work! Staff was extremely welcoming when we arrived and we were seated for our lunch reservation immediately. We were celebrating a coworkers birthday and our waitress was kind enough to give us celebratory mimosas. Food came out quickly and would highly recommend sharing a few appetizers. The mains were decent portions and none of us had any complaints. Parking can be found in any of the garages around the restaurant or street parking. read more

I came back here for Lunch to celebrate our team win! As always the staff was very accommodating to us. I reserved and preordered our food and informed the staff that we are only limited to an hour, they were prepared and met our time crunch, they were fantastic and took great care of my group. The food was delicious and the presentation was meticulous, 4 out of the 5 in my group was their first time coming here and they made a great first impression. The restaurant was kept clean and the green velvet couches and golden accents and hanging apothos are beautiful and gave a high-end look, making this place perfect for business meetings or luncheons. Please note the 20% gratuity for parties 5+. I would definitely come here again. read more

This place is nicely decorated with great lighting. It's a narrow restaurant so if it is crowded, it can feel tight. The food is something different for Hawaii and I like it! Definitely try the devils on horseback, cottage pie and the mushroom toast!! They have some serious cocktails, with very cutesy names. We tried the Chung chow, which was awesome and the Tropicana. read more

You won't be disappointed! (Shoutout to our bartenders tonight for making our evening so lovely!) read more

Podmore - Salmon dip! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Cute spot in Chinatown with great festive decor. We came for brunch and shared the smoked salmon dip, which was the best thing, and then each had an entree. The kitchen made a mistake and missed one of our dishes, but the were very good about rush ordering it and brought us rock cakes on the house as an apology. Overall, I thought this place was cute and good, but not necessarily rave worthy. read more

This was my first time at Podmore for my birthday brunch. My friend had the Full English Breakfast and I had the Christmas Breakfast. My favorite part of the Christmas Breakfast was the potato rösti! The edges were perfectly crispy but still soft in the center and complimented the brown butter hollandaise. Both dishes were super hearty and filling! The restaurant was cozy and elegant with all the lights and the seating was comfortable. It's a perfect spot to grab a drink or go out for date night! Unfortunately our server wasn't very attentive and didn't come by to check on our table until we asked for the check. read more

Podmore - Top: Christmas Breakfast Bottom: Full English Breakfast - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I've been 3 times now, and the food has been impressive each time. You can't go wrong with anything you order; it's just a matter of what you feel like eating. Last night we had the Scallops Petit Pois à la Française; Kale & Truffle Lasagna; and Sticky Toffee Pudding. The scallops were probably cooked the best I've had in my life; just perfect. The lasagna was delicious! And the Sticky Toffee Pudding was addictive! (I was already full, but couldn't stop eating it!) Their cocktails are good too, tasty and not strong. I luv the décor, classy and cozy. Parking was easy to find at the post office on Thursday night, or on the street Friday night. Service is very good: friendly, attentive & pretty knowledgeable. It's now become a favorite place of mine. read more

Had an amazing lunch at Podmore. The Halloween decorations were up while there. Very cute spooky!!! The menu had a wide range of choices from fish & chips to my wonderful lamb curry with mango chutney. I started with the non-alcoholic blood orange and elderberry beverage. Then a lamb curry with mango chutney plus rice and Indian bread. Dessert was a chocolate, banana and creme slice. All my food items are pictured. The flavors were wonderful and was a treat for my palette. The waitress was courteous and so attentive. I will definitely come back the next time I am in the business area. I can see why the dining room filed up quickly for lunch. read more

My manager and I decided to come to Podmore for a work lunch. Good thing we made reservations because the restaurant was full for lunch on a Wednesday. I made reservations for the bar, but they were able to seat us at normal seating when we arrived. The inside of the restaurant is very classy - a beautiful bar, floral wallpaper, and royal green couches. They have a very unique menu, and it was hard to decide what to get. I got the cottage pie. This was delicious! It was basically a shepherds pie but made with beef. The potatoes were rich, and look at how beautifully piped they were!! The filling was also very flavorful and a good texture. Service here was awesome. The host and waiters were all so helpful and kind. I would definitely come back here! read more

We were so disappointed when we found out that most of stuff we wanted to try was no longer on the menu. But we are so glad that we decided to stay and give it a try from their small brunch menu. Service - 4/5. Our server was nice and attentive. Ambiance - 5/5. It's a charming restaurant, perfect for a romantic date or hanging out with friends. Food - 4.5/5. My carbonara was amazing. Loved every bite of their perfectly cooked house made pasta. The pachetta was perfectly cooked as well. If you like carbonara, I highly recommend it. If you like sweets, their French toast was also made in perfection. Toasty crunch outside and soft inside. The only thing we didn't enjoy was their chicken tender which was a bit too dry. It could be just ours, but we can't recommend it if you are thinking of an add-on to your dish. Coffee - 2.5/5. Their coffee is much lighter side. Since we prefer a bold flavor coffee, it wasn't our favorite. Would we come back? Absolutely yes! We can't wait to come back here again and try other things on the menu! I hope they bring back more items soon! read more

This is a cute and quaint place in downtown. Very unique and small. The couches and chairs are so comfy. Very delightful. Service was nice but a little slow. However, the waitress suggested great things to eat. My only qualm is that the brunch menu had the carbonara as $26 but we were charged $30. When we asked the waiter said they forgot to change the menu. Which we felt wasn't right. The carbonara was amazing. Light and refreshing. The French toast was amazing and caramelized. Very light and sweet. read more

Cute little spot I've always wanted to try. Upscale bar in the heart of downtown, you'll get transported into a New Orleans/ Great Gastby themed brunch spot. Colors of green and purple with elegant decors of gold and marble really makes this place seems so cozy and cute. Table seating and bar seating, with the option of a booth seating as well. They do take reservations so that's always a great help when you're on a lunch crunch. The drink menu is superb. So much variety in drink options. The food seems a little limited but the quality is amazing. I did notice that the wait time for the drinks were longer than usual. The food took a while too but I can understand that crafted food might mean more time. The price is okay but I did notice the kitchen appreciation fee... which was interesting and made me think that maybe they give table tips to just servers and this is a way for Kitchen staff to get more money. So definitely not made about it, just interesting. Ordered the Life's a Peach drink and mmmmmmm so delicious. The cottage pie was nicely piped mashed potatoes and baked with what seemed like a hint of red wine or maybe speciality sauce. The chicken pop pie was delicious. Nothing t too salty, definitely flakey. read more

I had so much fun here! I loved this restaurant a lot! We wanted drinks so decided to sit at the bar, the interior is super cute and the chairs are comfortable. We tried several drinks on the menu and loved the dartmoor drink, it had an ice cube which was layered with flavors that changed the profile. We also had the Rubik's cube with multiple flavors, it was super fun but too sweet for my specific palette. I really liked the culture club as well. For food, we had the smoked soufflé pancake and the carbonara. The pancake... this is like... what dreams are made of for me. The carbonara was also totally amazing. I loved this place and would love to come back! read more

Podmore - Carbonara - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Booked Podmore on a whim & what a lucky whim that was! They are serious about their cocktails - we tried some creative, some traditional, & a zero-proof - all were outstanding. At first glance of the menu you may think "English pub food dressed up" - and it is so much more! Before moving to Hawai`i I lived in England as an expat, so I know a little about upscale pub food. Podmore takes it to another level & adds impeccable service. If it is not sold out - Do not miss out on the house made lasagna! Podmore is just over an hour's drive for me & I will make the drive to go back as often as I can. If you have the opportunity- don't miss out on this gem. read more

First time here and since it's a small cozy place I would make reservations. Cute place for a date night or to have some dinner and drinks with friends.

If I go again to Podmore, I would go for the atmosphere and how beautiful the food looks. Everything looks professionally done. Even their pancakes look so pretty and presentation is beautiful. The beef hash looks photo ready. I just wish their service was more personable. The service felt rushed, and after the server went to the back we did not see him till the food came out. read more

We came for Brunch. It's POSH in here from the moment you walk in. It's got a vibrant yet earthy vibe. Deep purple and warm green and glass and stone and mirrors all around. If you're an influencer, the place has a life of its own. It's much cozier (smaller) than it appears online but not stuffy. The great part about all the textures is that unlike a lot of Downtown/Waikiki businesses that pump in loud music over the hum of everything else, even packed full like the day we arrived, the Podmore acoustics are not overwhelming. It's well above five stars on that level. Food is very out of the box for Hawaii. Their drink menu averages $18 per cocktail with their 'Gram ready cocktails priced at $30. I had their "Christmas Breakfast" which was basically Eggs Benedict with a deep fried hash brown in the shape of an English muffin. It was plated well and it was good. Not great, good. My friend had the mushroom toast. She ordered a mimosa, I ordered a cocktail, it was better than the breakfast. The hot coffee was bitter and in a glass double walled cup. They offer non-dairy milk, and they serve simple syrup in a bottle that is overly fancy and did not work. I had to pour with the top off. The waitress or kitchen forgot several items we ordered and I asked to have them taken off the bill, which she did without acknowledging the misstep, just a simple "of course". One main, one coffee one cocktail was over $70 out the door. I might return for the ambiance, with my girlfriends who like to take photos of everywhere they've eaten and every dish they consume. My husband would leave hungry and complain about the cost. There are no "breakfast staples" here served plain he'd care for. I'd come for cocktail hour with the same type of crew or if trying to impress a visiting boss for some Pau Hana. While Podmore has an elite feel to it, it feels unapproachable enough to be off of the "I cannot wait to come again" list. It's so pretty in there I hate to rate it at this level honestly. (Shrug) I guess I wanted to like it more than I do, but it would certainly have its place in the right rotation. Dinner and cocktails might be different. read more

I will start off to say, the drinks were good and ambiance was amazing. I understand good food takes time. We waited for an hour for our food to be served. Lasagne- overcooked. Scallop- salty AF. Carbonara- undercooked. Beef and chicken potpie- EXCELLENT.

What a gem of a place! Came here for our Valentine's Day Lunch. Ambiance: Feels like you stepped back in time, velvet covered seating, cozy nooks, art deco fixtures and decor. Service: Friendly, welcoming, attentive, helpful, expeditious. Food/Drinks: Everything we tried was delicious, fresh, homemade and different in a good way! We tried the Devils on Horseback, Bao Buns, Tagliatelle Carbonara (fresh pasta) and the Fish & Chips. For dessert we had the Ice Cream Sandwich, for today it was chocolate chip cookies and we chose vanilla ice cream sandwiched in between. Drink menu had many fun and creative choices, nice selection of spirits. Cleanliness: This is the cleanest restaurant I think I have ever been in! Tables are wiped with disposable disinfectant wipes then thrown away. Not the same rag that was used to wipe other tables and who knows what else and is never rinsed. There was no dust to the visible eye, fixtures, furniture, baseboards immaculately clean, no crumbs hiding under the booths, no dust collecting on the AC vents or high light fixtures. Bathrooms tidy and clean. Parking: Street metered parking or with a short walk you can park in a public parking garage or lot. Overall, a wonderful experience! Will definitely be going back to try other menu items! read more
