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!

Street parking was relatively easy to find at noon on a Sunday, and the taproom wasn't too loud or busy. We were able to grab a couple seats at the bar right away and beertender allowed us to taste two of their drafts. We ended up choosing Okole Maluna (imperial stout) and Kainalu (lime and alaea sea salt gose). Both were really delicious. We had already eaten before stopping in, so next time we come in to try more of their brews, and we'll sample their food too!

As part of the recent Great Crawl, I finally got to try Bob's. As one of the participating venues,…read moreand right outside of a trolley stop, it was an easy decision to come in and grab a beer. It's a simple spot, looks like an old restaurant that was cleaned out with empty floor space, a bar in the middle, and a pool table. The bigger draw here is the ample outdoor seating space, with picnic tables for the attached BBQ place. It seemed like the groups here were happy. Prices are reasonable; their selection is everything you could want from a neighborhood bar. I had a green beer for St. Patrick's Day - Sierra Nevada Pale Ale made it turn kind of a greenish brown, but it was still fun. The bartenders were all happy and friendly. This is simple place; plus there's lots of other venues nearby to make your own Kailua Town crawl.

Exactly perfect for what we were looking for. First and foremost on the list for our search, was…read morewe hoped to find a place that had televised sports (both Monday Night Football and the World Series were on--but remember, this is Hawaii--way-out in the Pacific, so live-games come on in the afternoon or even earlier). Multiple screens make it so there is not a bad seat in the house. We also hoped to find a place with more of a "neighborhood/locals" energy to chill and relax our tired dogs (feet) in...and also, if it wasn't asking too much, hoped that it would have a fun vibe. (*Check those criteria off). "Icing on the cake", for us would be if the location had decent food. (Check that one off and put an exclamation point behind it--as the nachos we had were, "Fire".) As fate would have it, a lucky break was to be had as we walked in to the very-full bar. There, before us, were two stools at the bar (*the last remaining spots in the place) and they happened to be open. Side note: The bar has a speak-easy attached to it, and one day, we are gonna try it. Going there has been mentioned a few times when we have chatted with locals and tourists regarding memorable and unique things to do. Our servers were pleasant and accommodating despite the fact that the place was "choke widd plenty-kine cust-a'mah" (local pidgin for, full of customers). It's a hard balancing act to make patrons feel welcomed, but also not leave other thirsty tables waiting for too long. The two pretty blondes working that afternoon did a fantastic job at this. My seasonal sour beer hit all the right notes, and my wife seemed to enjoy her less exotic tap beer (Blue moon with an orange slice--served ice cold). There is a ton of beers to choose from here. Lighting in the Kailua Tavern is kinda darkish (not a problem, as I like me a dark bar sometimes). The locals were very-welcoming. One guy offered his table to us when he noticed our food had arrived and our plates were a bit pinned in. Also, anyone who happened to be sitting near us immediately engaged in friendly banter about the games. One guy of Tongan decent, who was probably 6'5" and had muscles piled-on to his massive frame came over and leaned in very close to ask, "Hey DEN, Bradah, YOU MIND FOR IF I GO DANCE WICH YOU DATE?" (*That didn't happen, I thought channeling a classic moment from the bar-scene in, Animal House, would be funny...but like the Toronto Blue Jays in the late innings of last night's game, "Swing and a miss". ) The Kailua Town Tavern was the opposite of a swing and a miss for us. It was fun and a good place to "chill"; the vibe was what we had hoped for; and of special note were the steak strips on the nachos, as they were superb.

We got the black garlic truffle fries (probably the best item), pepperoni pizza, baja fish tacos, and jalapeño bacon burger. Pepperoni pizza was like frozen pizza. Chalky and barely had any sauce/cheese. Baja fish tacos were nothing special and on the dry side. Jalapeño bacon burger wasn't bad but nothing to write home about. Beef patty was pretty juicy though. Definitely a spot that's more for the beer + vibes than the food. I enjoyed the open air seating though and it's a nice spot to hang out.

The setting: I really like the vibe they went with for valentines and the decor, I like the lowlight setting as well. The banyan tree decor in the middle of the restaurant was a nice touch. Service: our host and our waiter were awesome, very pleasant and helpful. The food: it was a fixed menu due to Valentine's Day, I guess I did not see that when I booked the reservations or it was listen on the open table app. I wish I had known because I wanted to try other dishes. Anyways.. we got to each choose an appetizer so we got the coconut shrimp which omgggg really good, that sauce was a perfect touch, the shrimp was nicely crispy. We also got the beef tataki which was another fav I must say. The main entrees was ok, I only say this because we got the lamb and fish. The lamb came with 4 pieces but 2 were cooked good and the other 2 seemed like it could have been cooked a little longer. The fish to me was also over done and a little touch and hard. I will go back because I do wanna try other things on their menu. Overall we still made it a great night and will come back again.

All and all food was delicious, made to order and fries were nice and crispy! *Only thing to note was the chicken in the chicken salad has the cartilage and rubbery parts of the chicken.
