I love this place! I come here almost every weekday, however our waiter, Rotillio? I'm sorry but HORRIBLE service. Imagine getting your table checked every 20 minutes. He'll come and check all the tables around you, and neglect your table. Not at all attentive and very neglectful. Gives attitude like he hates his job. VERY unprofessional. Would give 1 star if I didn't like the food and drinks. I honestly would not come here anymore if the food and drinks weren't good. Everyone else on staff is great and have never had any problems. NICK by far has been the best server we could have asked for. THANK YOU NICK! read more

Went here for a beer and an appetizer. There was just a lunch menu and the only app type thing to order was fries. We got the garlic parmesan fries to share. They were really good. The beer selection was good also. read more

I do not like posting negative reviews; if it looks like a duck...you know the rest. My son and I stopped in here and I had seen mixed reviews but wanted to see for myself. Unfortunately, we received terrible customer service. Bartender had a really bad attitude and we overheard him say, "I don't want to be here" so, I knew we were going to have issues. We waited 10 mins before the Bartender acknowledged us and lucky for us we got a menu when he did come over. Another 15 mins go by and no service all the while the Bartender has passed us several times...really bad attitude. My son called the Bartender over and he yells from the cash register, "yea one second." Finally, takes our order and then we waited another 5 mins for our drinks....REALLY!!!! I may give this place another try because to the bartender's defense, he was the only one there and the place was busy. No excuse for the bad attitude or terrible service. read more

This will be my last ever visit to this establishment. Sat at the bar with a friend and ordered a drink. My friend ordered shrimp and a beer. All of these came promptly but after that it was a struggle to get the bartender's attention. They kept hanging out in the back of the restaurant and ignoring all customers that didn't appear to be their regulars. Finally got the bartenders attention and ordered chicken strips. The strips were good but still had the tendon in it making it hard to eat. The breading also fell apart. After another long period of trying to get bartenders attention I ordered a lychee martini. It came back purple and tasted like candy corn. I had another difficult bout of trying to get the bartenders attention. I told her I didn't like the drink and asked for a cosmo instead. She frowned at me. Didn't offer to fix it. By that time I was fed up and wanted to leave. I offered to still pay for my bad tasting drink. Bartender said she couldn't take it off my bill because she already rang it up. Worst service ever. read more

I've been coming here since their opening and have seen some of their successes and challenges especially during Covid. Now, probably due to staffing issues, management is seeking ways of offsetting this by implementing new fees. My big surprise my last visit was an added fee on your bill if you use a credit card for payment. Although it may have been disclosed on the check, I would appreciate a verbal notice from the server. I had more than enough cash to cover my check. Food okay. Service good. Ambience okay with overly loud music. I know that the owners do not reply to YELP reviews, so this is only for other YELP reviewers. read more

Hiya folks! I had the pleasure of being in Hawaii for a family vacation. What made things even better is my best friend is stationed out there. The night before I left, we decided to go out for drinks and dinner, and my friend selected this restaurant. What I enjoyed about this restaurant was that it had live music. This was my only time here, so I do not know if this is a regular occurrence or not. The set up leads me to believe that it is common, which is nice. They had a wide array of craft beers to choose from which my friends and I liked. The staff was friendly and seemed happy to be there, which made the atmosphere enjoyable. The food was on par for what I would expect at a bar/pub. However, there are a few issues that could stand improvement. The parking lot is incredibly small. Taps & Apps is located in sort of a business strip mall, and the parking lot is maybe a 1/5th of the size that would be needed to accommodate all the businesses in the area. So be prepared to circle around several times. In addition, several of the items on the menu were either not available or missing a key ingredient. For example, I wanted their version of a BBQ burger, and was informed they had no BBQ sauce. My friend wanted ranch for his wings, and they were out of it as well. Perhaps we just selected the few things that were out of stock. Not a bad time, we enjoyed our food and drinks. Not incredibly memorable either. read more

This update reflects the numerous visits to T&A with different groups of people over the past few months. Sadly the service and food has been inconsistent each time. Most recently we had our usual pupu steak and crab cakes and they arrived to our table pretty cold in temperature. The steak was also bland, crab cakes were fishy. Another time we had the Hapa nachos and the filling was cold and needed more seasoning. I wished they were more consistent, especially for the $$. Cause when the food is prepared right, it's pretty satisfying. On some days the service is decent, but mostly robotic and underwhelming. And I wished the servers would mention the specials and/or have actually tasted them...it would help us make a decision on whether to try it out. My final disappointment is regarding the last "event" we went to for their debut of Elysian beer on tap. First off, this didn't seem like an event at all, at least for the patrons. It seemed like a party for the folks who actually worked in the beverage industry. Those guys had a big table, which took up most of the seats by the way, and got all the attention from the servers. Maybe it's just me, but I was expecting more excitement from their marketing reps, like maybe swag giveaways or contests, etc. Making it fun for the peeps who actually came to drink their beer on tap in the first place. It just felt like any other night, nothing special. Oh, before we were leaving, a nice lady came by, albeit drunk, and asked if we had a chance to try the beers. Of course that's what our table drank most of, so I said yes and she gave us her "last" two beer glasses as a thank you. We did see some other people with gifts but no idea how they got them. All in all it was a less than impressive evening for us. We got our friends to meet us for this event and we probably won't do another one again. Honestly we frequent T&A because it's convenient for us and our friends, even though it's pricey and sometimes an off night, we still went back in hopes that it would be a good night! I'm sad to say we may not be visiting for awhile...I just can't justify the costs vs the overall value. :( read more

Taps & Apps - HH Menu - New American Near Me - Mililani, Hawaii

A group of 4 of us stopped by at 230 pm on a Friday afternoon. There was about 5 people sitting at the bar and one bartender. She definitely saw us walk in but didn't acknowledge us. We sat ourselves anyway. There was a sign on the door stating - in brief - 'short on staff so please be patient' understandable these days so sure - we're pretty thirsty but patient :-). Anyway 5 minutes go by and no one comes by. Now it's 10 minutes and mind you the bartender is tending to the 5 people at the bar but not once acknowledged our existence. At this point it's just rude not to even say- "I'll be right with you - or someone will". That didn't happen!! SHE gave us the impression that she was too busy with her "regulars"and we were not welcome. Well needless to say, we all grabbed our bags and stood up to leave. Just then someone out of the blue says "are you guys ok?" Really?!? - well we were not ok for the past 10 minutes BUT we are now because we're leaving !! Not about to waste our money on a poor establishment that cares nothing about customer service. Don't know the bartender but if I was the owner I'd be searching for someone that gives 2 shits because she obviously doesn't!! Or maybe you don't need the business or the money - your choice !! read more

Thursday and wanting to start my weekend early, we stopped in here for a drink after dinner. With a limited number of bars in the area, Taps and apps is my go to place. What's great here: Yummy food Craft drinks on the menu 36 beers on tap Live music Karaoke on Thursday's Saturday and Sunday brunch Happy hour 330-7 pm Extended happy hours from 7-9pm Cool vibes and patio seating if you desire. It's always an enjoyable evening when I stop in here! read more

This is my second time coming here and my second experience was nothing like my first experience. Came here to watch the basketball game so it was pretty busy. I want to rate this place 2.5 stars but the beers I had was pretty good so 3 it is. Coming here during happy hour is a nightmare in terms of parking. The parking gets full too quickly so you end up having to park across by longs, even though it's only for longs customers only. We ordered the happy hour platter of chicken wings, pork belly balls and potatoes and a calamari on the side. The food took waaay too long and we ended up getting chicken that wasn't cooked all the way. Me and my friend had a stomachache after wards, it was not a fun experience. The taste wasn't all that either. I don't know, I may or may not give this place another try but I know I won't be ordering the wings again unless you want to have the ribs right after. read more

Pretty price and when it's busy it's a long wait.. takes a while to get seen but over all I loved the environment! The waitress did her best to see me and my husband even though she was serving numerous amounts of people. That's why I give his place four stars great customer service. The food was amazing I had the PuPu steak medium well, with large French fries. The French fries were really filling followed by the Bikini blonde I was drink with it! Amazing everything was warm HOT and FRESH! My husband had the Flat bread Italiano he ate like half of my fries lol !! And he had two beers. The price came out to be 60 and some change not including the tip. Great quality will always come again! read more

We met with my sister and brother-in-law after an exercise class at Taps & Apps. It was our first time there but they've been there several times before as they're residents in the Mililani Mauka community. We had high expectations for this bar & grill after hearing that they're family-owned with roots in Mililani and it's the brainchild of the former executive chef of, now defunct, Brasserie du Vin. This past Saturday, July 18th, they announced a "Tap Takeover" by Widmer Brewery...what does this mean? Well, Taps & Apps features 36 craft beers/beverages on tap, some specialty taps, but mostly from Portland, Oregon's Widmer Brewery. All pints are priced at $5! Most of the menu features flavorful creations served on cool rectangular plates with portions that can be shared or eaten individually. The food is pub grub with a slight upscale finesse. We ordered two orders of the T&A Burger and Soft-shell crab sandwich along with our fave beverage, Ace Pineapple Cider, and a Kona Brewing's Big Wave Golden Ale. Being that these two selections were on draught, their serving temperature was chilled (about 46 degrees F or 8 degrees C) and NOT ice cold as most Americans believe that they should be. The T&A Burger was a 1/2-pound patty of ground short-rib covered with caramelized onions, Gruyère cheese. Aïoli in ciabatta roll. I selected a side salad but the other options were thick-cut French fries or Kettle chips. The soft-shell crab sandwich was a toasted brioche roll filled with one stout-tempura battered deep fried soft shell crab and lightly spread with rémoulade. Our food was so good that it seemed to disappear from our plates within a few minutes as we all fell silent while eating. The portions were generous and value priced at $15 and $14, respectively. But, why only 3-stars if the food and beverage was as great as I've described and we received good value? Unfortunately, the KILLER for us was the really slow service. When we arrived, there was only one other table occupied on the inside but the outdoor seating was filling with a large party. Although we hastened to place our order we waited quite some time before our food came out from the kitchen. Another table of customers who arrived well after us got their food before us. A manager even came by to check on us and we were fortunate that he did so. Perhaps our order got "lost" in the kitchen because of the large crowd but he managed to expedite our food service. We were in the restaurant for nearly an hour before we got our food. With hope, customer service will improve because everything else seems to be going well for this establishment. We'd like to return for more Taps and Apps. #372 read more

Really great beer selection (although they always seem to be out of the one I want, and don't warn you ahead of time). Great food although it's EXTREMELY overpriced. About $16 for a burger not even including fries. Service is also pretty slow most of the time, just depends on how busy they are. The service is usually fast if you sit at the bar vs. a table read more

Okay so this place is located in Mililani Mauka area - where McDonald's and Long's is. Not the most familiar with the area - your best bet is to GPS it and let them guide you there. Or... I'll be your guide. Drinks are on you! :) Anyway, it's in dark corner of the shopping center. Relatively good size inside. There is tabletop seating, bar seating, and patio seating. Seat yourself at any open seat. Came here on a Friday night on a whim with a friend. They weren't too busy and we found seats at the bar relatively quickly. Lots of beer on tap and lots of apps to choose from (trust me, the lightbulb finally went off when I finally put two and two together). I have to say, though, the food was a little on the pricier side. Probably could find the same stuff in town for a little cheaper. But that's not the point here. This place is convenient for all those west siders who don't want to drive to town! It's really laid back, the service was great. The crowd was chill. It was a good, low-key Friday night. Older crowd. So if you're ever feeling a lazy and don't want to get too dressed up and head into all that traffic, this is a great place to stop by. As for the food, I ordered their steak, medium temperature. It came out a cooked a little longer than I'd like it to be. Very fatty piece of meat, which I know some people like. Seasoning was acceptable. I also ordered their garlic fries. I tasted the french fry, but not the garlic. But... It was nice and crispy, which I liked. Overall, it was a good experience. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but if I were in the area and wanted to grab a drink, I wouldn't mind coming back. Enjoy! read more

Taps & Apps - Steaaaaak - New American Near Me - Mililani, Hawaii

I have to say that on the surface I loved this place, it's clean and very atmospheric, the outside deck is lovely and they actually built it around a tree and included it in the design rather than cutting it down and killing it. This is a new restaurant so I'm writing this as what I consider a "Soft review" which means that sometime in the future I will return here and re-review it to see if needed changes have been made, I am now going to break this review into categories. Interior and Design: The first thing that hits you walking into the space is the yellow "Conditional Pass" health inspection card that they are flying for a hygiene violation, I was honestly surprised by this because of how new the location is. The interior itself is very wooden, a comfort oriented space with high tables and chairs, the main focal point is, rightly, the bar. We ended up on the outside balcony simply because we had someone with us who is uncomfortable using high chairs. The balcony is great, it reminds me of a private deck on a house up in the mountains and is very aesthetically pleasing. Service: The service was average, normal inside and out, the waitress wasn't particularly fast at anything but she wasn't slow either, we didn't receive flatware until our food came out but since this is primarily a pub it makes sense. One thing that did bother us is that the menus have the pages on different sides. They carry 2 inside pages, one yellow and one orange, in my menu the left page was the orange and the right page was the yellow. . .but on my friends menu the right page was the orange and the left page was the yellow. . .it created some confusion early on. Bar: The bar is amazing with an impressive 36 beers on tap, something that I love is that you can sample them before ordering a full on glass. Food: Alright here's the main part of the review, the food. I bought some friends along with me and they generously allowed me to sample their orders for this review, due to the amount of items I will review each individually. Irish Nachos: This was the first item that made it to the table and I have to say that they were pretty good, it gets a few points knocked off because I'm pretty sure the chips are store bought but not everyone can make fresh chips everyday. The meat was semi flavorful and the sauce was good. T&A Burger (Normal): I loved this burger, from the sauces to the bun and the meat and the greens it had an amazing flavor and I would order it again. T&A Burger (No sauce): I was fairly disappointed in this to be totally honest, without the sauce this burger just falls outright flat on its face flavor wise. I was hoping that without the sauce the burger would still carry some sort of seasoning and punch but it didn't. The true mark of a good burger is if it can still impress the person eating it even without all the fancy bells and whistles, the meat should speak for itself. The person who ordered this item did not finish it as a result. Escargot & Garlic bread: Amazing, the escargot has so much flavor, the cook was done dead on and the bread was delicious. Pairing the escargot and the bread together and eating them at the same time introduces a nice flavor experience. Caesar Salad: I did not try this item but I did have one gripe about it. . . it costs $10 and for the amount that you get it seems a bit high. In the end out of the 4 people at our table only 2 of us will be returning, Nice decor, average service, average food and pricing that makes you think a bit has landed "Taps and Apps" an average 3 star review. I will be going back in a few months to see how they are doing when they are 100% in the swing of things. read more

Taps & Apps is definitely worth a stop if you like beer and/or bar snacks. Warning to the wine drinkers like me, this place sells wine but during my visit the wine I wanted was unavailable and there are basically one red and one white choice that could've been better for the price. I mean, $8-9/glass for an $11 in-store bottle of wine? Give me a TJ wine for $5 and I'll be happy. So, since beer, cider and ales are the main attractions perhaps let that shine more and nix the wine or improve the selection even if that means just bringing in one good red and white. The good parts: -Happy Hour means fairly-priced appetizers ...the fries were great, so great, that two orders satisfied -The tasters, four 4-oz portions for $16 -The Ace Pineapple Cider (be careful, this is almost like a good moscato!) and Watermelon Lime Ale (New Belgium Heavy Melon) -If you're unsure, you can ask for a shot glass taste -Sitting at the bar means TVs in your face and the quick service from efficient bartenders -Clean restrooms (although like Andrea S. says, there's only a single for the ladies) Note that I received a before-visit tip on the food here so we opted for apps only & you really can't get fries too wrong (taps and apps, guess really means focus on what it says). So, don't think I'll be back for much more than that fruit cider and their fries but hey, how bad can that be? ;) read more

Great selection of beer food was really good as well just wish they would clean the place. Simple things that are kind of unacceptable it makes you wonder if this is the stuff they know people see as customers what is the kitchen look like. there was an air vent in the men's room that probably hasn't been cleaned in 15 years probably take 2 minutes to vacuum that out just kind of lazy I like the place where I eat to be clean the bathroom besides the dirty air vent was also kind of nasty. So that's why you get three stars read more

Taps & Apps - Severely dirty air vent in men's room wonder if the kitchen is as clean as this - New American Near Me - Mililani, Hawaii

I'm not exactly sure how much of the menu has changed (seeing as last night was the first time I've been to Taps and Apps), but the waitress did mention they put out a new menu about a month ago...and it makes me wonder how the old menu was to only be rated 3 stars. As far as drinks go, I was there for the food, so I can't comment on the drinks. We ordered the mushroom and brie artisan pizza, house fries, T&A pub salad, and southern fried chicken sandwich. Let me say...I have been craving their mushroom and brie pizza ever since last night. Hahaha. I usually hate sweet with savory (the pizza has dried cranberries on it), and I am also not a huge fan of arugula (which is piled on top of the pizza)...but it surprisingly all worked together amazingly. Kudos to our waitress for recommending it. :) Other than that, their house cut fries are some of the yummiest I have eaten, and the mix of greens they use for their salad is super fresh and crisp. Luckily, we went around 5 on a Thursday night, so parking wasn't bad...but I could definitely see how it could be very difficult finding a parking spot seeing as there are a few other eating places nearby. Bottom line...I am definitely going back for more of their delicious food. read more

Taps & Apps - T&A pub salad, house fries, mushroom and brie artisan pizza (totally recommend this!), and southern fried chicken sandwich. - New American Near Me - Mililani, Hawaii

Location: in a small shopping area in mililani next to wing stop. Your typical beer pub you would experience in the mainland. If you live on the west side /central it's perfect rather than driving to town. Atmosphere: ambiance is very laid back and chill depending what time of day you go! It's good for a group of friends. It's not your average sports bar. Food and drinks: can be a bit pricey just for pupus and beer but worth it! I ordered the pupu steak and it's mighty tasty! They have a great wide of selection of beer to chose from ! If you're unsure, order the beer flight! You get 4 selections of 4oz glass. Customer service : we sat at the bar and the bartender, jess? (Sp) was awesome ! She's very informative and knows her stuff for beer and wine! And gave us her recommendations n offered to do samples! Good job in hiring her ! She definitely knows her stuff! Overall, I'm not disappointed. If you want a chill place to drink my socialize.. This is the place! read more

I have come about two times to this new place in Mililani Mauka. It is located in the new added on small shopping center near McDonald's and Tesoro. Parking is very scarce and if you are coming during peak times like on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday between 430 - 630ish you won't find any nearby. The 2 times I came i had to circle 3 times before I found something. The atmosphere is more of the older crowd if you would compare to the other bars in Mililani like The Shack and The Mill located in Mililani Shopping Center. They have bar seatings, hightops that can sit 4 or more and outside seatings. The bar menu is alot of craft beers and some mixed specialties, hard liquor offerings. The craft selections is quite large and I really enjoyed some of the ones I tasted. (Picture is of the beer tasting) The food menu had a fee options and kinda pricy we tried the steak, pizza, and the dip. All were just okay but not the greatest. With that type of menu I was prepared to be blown out of the water with taste but it was meh. No good happy hour for drinks and food menu has no happy hour either. I think in that area happy hour would be nice, people enjoy happy hours with great deals and great bargains. Servers and bartenders service are ok also, I felt the bartenders I dealt with were a little snobby and didn't like interesting with them, so I sit at a table so I can deal with a server which were a little meh on service as well. In the end Taps and Apps need to get a better happy hour in order for me to come back, change the chef and recipes and change some of the staff! read more

Taps & Apps - Beer flight, they give you a chalk to write down your options on board that beer is presented on. - New American Near Me - Mililani, Hawaii

Every now and then we want to grab some great beer and fancy pub grinds without driving into town, so we head in the opposite direction and go to Taps & Apps in Mililani. Located in Mililani Mauka, we've been at Taps & Apps several times over the past five months, we always grab a seat at the bar as it lets us chat with the bartender and the service is always great. Latest experience was pretty consistent with our past visits..mind you that we normally are with the before 6 pm crowd so it's usually not packed when we arrive. Food: Ordered a Fat Tire draft and a dark beer flight for the wife, the T&A Pub Salad, Crab Cakes, and Garlic Cheese Bread. Love that you can get Fat Tire locally now, been one of my favs when visiting the mainland! The Pub Salad arrives, strange that menu said served a pickled egg and bacon..hmmm..no pickled egg and no bacon. Had to flag down the bartender, she quickly corrected the situation by going to the kitchen and having them serve us two slices of bacon and a hard boiled egg on a separate plate. Seeing how those are two big flavor components to the dish, you'd think they wouldn't forget it..then again..how many people order salad in a bar so I'll let it go. Crab cakes were okay, cheese bread was very cheesy and I mean verrry cheesy! After finishing my beer, I notice a taptail called the Pickled Irish. Shot of Jameson with a pickle juice back..alrighty then had to try it. I do like pickles but that pickle juice has a pucker factor of 10. Bartender said they make their own, they don't just pour out the left over juice from a jar of Clausens. Service: I've seen other reviews complaining about the service, if it's just a few of you I'd sit at the bar. We've done that every time and have never had a service problem, in fact it's always been outstanding! You can also chat with the knowledgeable bartenders and get their opinions on what's on tap. Atmosphere: Nice large pub, hip, lots of tables, lots of parking outside. We enjoy it..but again we do visit early (when the sun is still up). Not sure how it gets later on in the evening..we're long gone by the time 8 pm rolls around. Value: Tap prices are decent, sampler is good value if you want to try a few before committing. The food prices are a bit on the pricey side, $15 - $17 for a burger seems a tad high to me. Overall: Lots of beer choices, decent bar menu, inventive cocktails, friendly bartenders will keep us returning occasionally in the future, especially if we don't feel like making the drive into town! read more

It was a late night Sunday, 11:45pm to be exact. Me and my friend wanted to get a night cap for the day, we went to BWW only because I knew they would be open and they had booze, however horrible service, so we left. Hoorah! for yelp to rescue us! Saw that Taps and Apps were open until 2AM, and I always wanted to try this place, but never really had the chance. They are located in Mililiani Mauka, next to Wing Stop. The parking lot was pretty empty with only 3 cars, so we thought they were closed. To our surprise they were open. However, there were only like 2 people drinking. The bartender was super cool and just told us to sit anywhere. I looked over the menu and the bartender said the kitchen was closed so only drinks we could order. I just had a revelation... LOL I thought 'apps' were like a place to play games, but 'apps' is appetizers! LOL, so they only strictly sell that. They all sounded so good, so i will be back soon. The drinks we ordered were pretty good on tap, and cheap. The drink prices range from 5-30$ 3 stars because they should give bar snacks for the late nighters like myself haha, and because I have yet to try the rest of their menu. The venue was an ok size, and I could see this place being packed and hot on a regular day time. I hope I can come back and try the rest of the menu and give them a better rating. Until next time Taps and Apps! read more

Taps & Apps - Burger, wings, and fries - New American Near Me - Mililani, Hawaii

I was going to write a review a month ago and give them one star, but didn't end up posting it. Last time the food was awful, cold, steak was over cooked, service was slow and dismissive. Overall a bad experience. I came in today by myself to eat and give this place another chance. I had a Dirty Mule (my favorite) and the Pupu Steak. The steak was overcooked on one side, but had great flavor! The bartender, Tiffany, was better and more attentive than the one last time. Last time we had the escargot, the Irish nachos, confidential kurobuta pork cheeks and the t&a burger. Everything SUCKED except for the burger. The burger was over cooked but had good flavor. The escargot, was cold, the nachos were cold and soggy, and the pork cheeks just went good. I came a few months ago with a bunch of friends and that time everything was perfect. The margarita pizza and steak was perfect and the drinks were on point. It's changed since it opened. :/ It seems as if the quality has gone way down since I first came. Dont know if I'll be returning. :( had such high hopes for this place! read more

This is a solid place for dinner and drinks in Mililani. They have a decent beer selection with several local brews, and occasional tap takeovers. Food is good, if a little over priced. You can't go wrong ordering a flatbread. There's not much entrée choice for vegetarians, unfortunately, and almost anything you can get will be deep fried. Garlic fries are a newer addition to the menu, and pretty tasty. Specials can be hit or miss, and the Taco Tuesday specials are wicked overpriced. Service is always friendly, if not always super prompt. We've had to remind servers for water when it's busy, but we have never been forgotten entirely. The staff are really good when the restaurant isn't packed. Lest it seem I'm focusing only on the negative, I really do like this place. They still have some kinks to work out, but it's a good choice for lunch or dinner when you're in Mililani. read more

Taps & Apps has such potential to be an amazing place. To caveat the 3 stars I'd give a 3.5 if I could, however it is nearer a 3 in my mind than a 4. It is the best place to grab a good beer and some food in the area; however, changing a few things could make it one of the best places to do so on the island. The food quality and portions are too low for how much they cost. The pizzas/flat breads used to be on the high side of reasonable but a few months past their price was increased. The value for what you get is low even when considering island prices. The beer costs are on the high side of reasonable though the taster glasses are pricey and not worth it. There are a few interesting choices but most of them can be found at Foodland. If there were a few more interesting selections it could do a lot for the place. There are a decent number of weekly events and daily specials that give more character to the place. The decor and location are very good with outdoor and indoor seating. They also fill growlers if you find something you really like and want to take home. To reiterate, this is the best place in the area but with a few changes it could be one of the best places for a beer on the island. read more

Imagine going to a BAR and enjoying yourself... having an AMAZING waitress, bartender, food runner. But then you have the MANAGER come to your table telling you to come on karaoke night to sing because nobody wants to hear you sing Mike (the manager) literally came to our table to tell us to be quiet, stop singing, and to come another day. CRAZY to me and our group because we weren't sitting there freeloading, we bought rounds and rounds of shots, food... Mike, please go work at a library or a drs office, mr grinch. Mahalo! read more

Dozens of beer on tap, tasty food, nice outdoor seating, friendly and attentive service. After trying to visit Haleiwa, only to find it packed with tourists and lines everywhere, we escaped to Mililani to get lunch away from the crowds. Had a great time here and really enjoyed the food and beer on tap. read more

Taps and apps is the funnest place when it comes to night life in Mililani. I went on a Tuesday and they had a trivia night. They have outdoor and indoor seating and a whopping amount of beers on tap!! read more

First time here. Been reading the reviews before I decided to come and check this place out. The bar has 4 good size tv's to watch the games and sportscenter. T is a great bartender, personable and friendly! She was a attentive to your needs as well a provided quick service when ordering. Beers could be a bit colder. On this trip I didn't get a chance to eat but definitely the next time. The pizza looked great. Bonus of this place is that it's 3 minutes from home!!! read more

Friendly staff, orgasmic foods, quaint but with great ambiance and vibes. Cant go wrong!

Enjoyed my first legal drink here. Went there for lunch at around 1pm on a Monday. Not sure the names of the guys that were working (bigger white guy, and thin black guy), but they were both really nice and welcoming. The bigger one wished me a "Happy Birthday" once he saw my ID, and so did the other guy later on. I ordered a Mauka Breeze and my husband ordered some kind of Apple drink? Not sure, but we both loved ours. He then ordered a Dirty Mule and enjoyed that as well. When it came to ordering food, I was honestly a little hesitant because we had gone there a few months ago and the food wasn't fresh, and just didn't taste appetizing either. But they refreshed their menu, and much to my surprise, it was damn good. We both ordered a half sandwich, bowl of soup lunch combo. He got the chicken sandwich, I got the Italiano, and we both had their soup of the day: which was chicken tortilla soup. I was so stoked because everything was on point. Thank you guys for being such a good first experience. Living in Mililani, we will definitely be here more often! read more

Very expensive! Drinks are small for the price. Food was good as well but again small and expensive. Atmosphere is great though. Hard to find parking. read more

I ordered a ceasar salad. It took 10 minutes for them to tell me they didn't have ceasar so I switched to a salmon salad order. They took another 30 minutes to serve me my salad and after complaining about the wait they finally brought it out. I made a comment about how long it took and they responded by saying "we were backed up with orders". Worst of all the salad was covered in fruits (which was not the listed ingredient). The place was far from busy. People who ordered after me were getting their food at the same time as me. I was upset and did not accept my food. Instead of offering any reparations they took my food away and acted like nothing happened. read more

This is my local watering hole. Trivia, tacos, and tequila on Tuesdays. Karaoke on Thursdays. Breakfast on the weekend. If you're a football fan you may want to check it out just don't make a drunken fool of yourself. The food is top notch, classy and delicious. The beer selection is A+. Happy hour is a great deal. The servers are attentive and diligent. Tip generously. read more

I came in here with the BF for some pupus and drinks. We ordered the steak, fries and crab avacado dynamite. The steak was ok and bit cold when it came out but the fries and crab avacado dynamite was pretty good! The service wasn't bad and the bartender was very friendly. The burgers looked pretty good too so that will be what I will try next time here! Great spot for some pupus and drinks in this area. They also have karaoke nights and paint nights here too! read more

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants to see us happy. " Ben Franklin Beer is like my weekend reward, so when I partake in drinking it, I enjoy drinking a fairly good amount of different kinds. And what goes well with beer? A good variety of salty foods! I'm absolutely thrilled that there's a gastro pub in Millilani so I don't have to envy you townie folk anymore that get to hit the Honolulu gastropubs every weekend. There is a great selection of 36 beers on tap, especially dark stouts and porters that I really prefer. They showcase the local beers by listing them first. A few good local beers include Kona Brewing Company's Lava Red Man and Maui Brewing Company's Coconut Porter. Some of my imported favorites include Belching Beavers peanut butter stout, Deschutes Nitro Obsidian, and Rogue Hazelnut that was recommended by our server. The Peanut Butter stout is of course dark and sweet and the Nitro Obsidian is rich and frothy, almost like a strong latte. I was accidentally served a pineapple cider which tasted like a sweet white wine. Not bad, but not my taste. They list the ABVs next to some of the beers and the IBUs (amount of bitters) on some as well. Other libations are offered as well for those non beer drinkers. The food menu seems to go in every direction ranging from Irish nachos to Indian Samosas to Mediterranean fried split pea balls (a.k.a. Gateau Piment) as well as Kurobata pork cheek. The Irish nachos were excellent fried crispy perfect thin sliced potatoes smothered in hot liquid cheese and chunks of corn beef. The Charcuterie pizza was over loaded with slices of different salty deli meats. Along with the salty brie, it was just too much on top of such a thin pizza. It's unfortunate that I had to dig through all the meat to get to the honey beer crust which was actually very good. The pork cheek on the kurobata fried pork is too thick, so it makes the dish heavy. I was sad to see there weren't any dessert options. It wasn't dead, but there was ample amount of seating inside and outside. It is nice they have big screen TV facing in all different directions. They surprisingly open at 7am on football Sundays during the season. Bathrooms were clean and cleverly labeled with simply just a cat or a chicken. Food came out fast, faster than the beer flight. There is a private parking lot. This could be my new weekend get away, but they should really consider offering dessert and that quote should read "Beer AND chocolate (or ice cream) are proof that God loves us and wants to see us happy.

First time experience was nice. Sat at the bar and received quick service. It wasn't busy. Crab cakes were nice. Used lots of crab and served with greens and an aioli. Seasoned okay. Pupu steak is good. Excellent presentation. I was pleasantly surprised to see my steak served on a wooden cutting board. Steak was made medium like I ordered. Not a huge fan of the sauce or reduction they put over it, but I like the concept. I ordered a Kona Longboard Lager on tap. It was fine. Wish it was colder and served in a Kona glass, not another labeled pint glass. Ambiance is okay. Bar is really dark. Nothing trendy about the decor. But it's clean and presentable. l'll be back. Happy to have a tasteful bar in Mililani. Place has potential to be great with a few changes. read more

I'm a huge fan of craft beer. This place is nice, my dislike is the parking. I know the place has nothing to do with the parking arrangements, however. I think parking should be considered when picking a location. This place is near two other popular eateries, Wing Stop and Gyutaku.parking is challenging on Friday/Saturday nights. I dis not eat any food. But I did have the Velvet Hawaiian....not sure if this is their creature....FREAKING GOOD. The food is good..from what I hear. I like to try the food myself...and have more beers....the place is a bit overpriced...if you are looking for a Speakeasy type of place... this is not it.... read more
