    The Row Kaka'ako at night
    Wonho L.

    I was in Waikiki for a short work trip, and The Row came up during my search to find a place to drink and smoke a cigar. TL:DR - If you are looking for a good selection of bottles, great service, good price, and place to smoke a cigar (especially if you bring your own), do not think twice about visiting The Row Kaka'ako Location : it's right in the middle of a courtyard of a business office building. It's surrounded by restaurants with variety of offering, but they tend to close a bit early. It's fully outdoor but has a bit of cover. Drinks/Services/Vibe : I thought the overall selection was pretty good. For this size of a bar, in the middle of a building, I was expecting much less. They offer some pretty good selections of bottles at pretty good price. All the employees I interacted with were fantastic; tentative, positive, and just very positive. Cigars : While there are few other places to smoke cigars near by, I couldn't find any location reasonable. I tend to travel with my own cigars and I just wanted to find a bar where I can smoke. Unfortunately, there's no such place in Waikiki. At The Row Kaka'ako, you can bring your own cigars and enjoy. If you didn't bring cigars with you? no problem. They have a small, yet solid selection of cigars available. Etc : There was a public Wi-Fi with decent speed, which I used to get some work done while I was having a nice smoke. Bathroom is near by and pretty clean for a public one. End note: I will definitely be visiting The Row Kaka'ako next time I'm in the town.

    Row Bar Kaka'ako is a great spot for those looking to relax outdoors with a drink and soak in the lively atmosphere of Honolulu's Waterfront Plaza. The open-air setup means you're getting fresh breezes rather than A/C, which works perfectly for Hawaii's weather--just be mindful of the cigar-friendly vibe, which adds a unique touch but might not be for everyone. TVs all around make it an ideal place to catch a game or big sporting event, and parking is straightforward with options for both street and garage parking.[yelp +3] What really stands out is how flexible Row Bar is about food: you're welcome to bring in outside bites, whether it's from nearby Mexican spots or poke shops, since the bar itself serves strictly drinks these days. The staff are known for being friendly, and regulars rave about the easygoing atmosphere--especially for after-work meetups, casual hangs with friends, or blowing off steam over happy hour deals.[tripadvisor +2] If you're a cigar enthusiast, this is one of the best spots in Honolulu to enjoy a stick alongside your favorite beer or cocktail. Keep in mind, service can be hit or miss, especially when it gets busy, but the crowd is diverse and there's always something interesting happening--whether it's vendor collabs, sports giveaways, or local live music.[wanderlog +2] Overall, Row Bar Kaka'ako is a laid-back outdoor hangout worth checking out for its casual, dog-friendly vibe, solid drink choices, and cigar-friendly niche--just don't expect a full food menu or super speedy service when they're packed.

    Empty bottle of beer , wish they had modelos though

    Stopped by on my way to a club in Chinatown to have a beer get the night started . Great location easy parking very chill spot . Open air bar , tvs for sports and fights . Great service bartender was awesome heard Claudia was a great server .

    Beers on tap are still around $6. The biggest change is that there are no more food options as Tamira's pulled out. You can bring your own food. So if you're ok with drinking, smoking cigars (we are) and watching a game on the screen, this is the place for you.

    Chicken wings (Parmesan garlic)

    Located in the middle of restaurant row is this cute little bar perfect for those pau hana (after work) pow wows with your fellow colleagues. The whole venue is placed outdoors where you can either lounge at the tables or sit directly at the bar to unwind and watch some tv. Service here is great. The staff are very chill, friendly, and easy to talk to. It is just the perfect way to just relax after a stressful work day. The food was pretty delicious. Although my friend and I arrived to the venue a little later in the night (around 7ish), there weren't that much of a selection as they had a little over 5 items that were sold out by the time we got there. We ended up ordering a plate of loaded fries with cheese, bacon, tomatoes and green onion. The fries were waffle cut which was perfect to catch all that toppings. The order came out quickly; perfectly cooked and well balanced with the creaminess of the cheese topping. We also ordered the wings (comes in 6) with the parmesan garlic dry rub. Wings were cooked perfectly and packed in a lot of savory flavor that made you want to eat more. Since it was a wine preferred night, we opted for the house glass of sauvignon blanc which was quite delicious. I would definitely come back here to try out the menu and unwind after a day in the office. And definitely come earlier to get a better selection of food.

    The Row at Kaka'ako is the only open-air bar on Oahu that allows cigar smokers to puff in peace! Hoon & Nick provide exceptional service & hospitality every time I stop by, making it feel like a home away from home. Good times, thank you!

    Happy hour prices and what they tried to charge me without notice.

    ** DO NOT GO THERE ** 1) we had reservations for 4pm. Early yeah! Intentions to get drunk! Neva happen. First waitress. Young girl. Service sucked. 2) now there's 8 of us there. New young guy. Had to tell him how we've been waiting an hour for drinks and food. 3) he brings our bill. Everything is a $1 or $2 more than the happy hour menu he gave us. So his explanation is prices went up. The menus are old but our system has the new prices. 4) I'm like. Seriously. You want me to pay for something that costs more than what you present me? I said. I should call the police. Brent the manager giggled. Yeah giggle bro! You stand there and want to take my money. Seriously. All our checks had the wrong prices and no one knew the prices went up. He kept saying. The menus are still at the printers. I'm also filing a complaint with the BBB. This is highway robbery to expect consumers to pay more that what should of been honored on the menu placed on our table. To end it. I still tipped the dumbasses. Picture for evidence. As he took all the menus away from our table.

    They take reservations for large parties! Outdoor bar, with lots of tables for big parties. Drinks come with lots of ice. Majority of our group said our drinks tasted watered down. Midori sour ($8) taste only like sour juice and water. Service is good, large parties are harder but they were great with starting and closing tabs.

    But this bar was fun, has TVs everywhere so you can see and hear whatever you may be watching for a big sporting event, and I believe they allowed people to bring in outside food.

No wait for our party of 2, and we were sat immediately at a high top communal style table. It is a bar type establishment, with pour your own beers and wines on the wall. Not super noisy, but everyone was having their conversations and having a great time. Everything on the menu sounded delicious, and food walking past us looked amazing! The only difference to this establishment was instead of a server taking our order, we were instructed to go to the front podium to place the order when we were ready. We opted for the Fried Calamari with Cilantro Lime Aioli to start, and ordered the Chop Salad with Tofu and the Verde Bowl. The food came out so quickly, and we were actually surprised with the portion sizes for all the dishes. We were able to share the salad and bowl and still had enough to pack a take out box. Everything was delicious! I'm sure it can get busy on the weekends, but overall seems like a nice place to chill with good food, good drinks and good conversation. Wish we had more time to hang out!

Food We shared the Beer Battered Fish & Chips, Bang-A-Rang Shrimp, and Eggplant Bruschetta. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The fish was crispy on the outside and flaky inside, the Bang-A-Rang Shrimp had just the right amount of crunch and flavor, and the Eggplant Bruschetta was a delicious starter. Drinks I ordered a beer flight with #5 Torchlight, #10 Hops for Hugs, #14 Rice Breaker, and #16 After Hours. After Hours was easily my favorite. My friend had a pint of #3 Aqueerius, a refreshing sour ale with raspberry limeade notes that he really enjoyed. Service & Atmosphere The staff were welcoming, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. The brewery is spacious, clean, and a great place to relax with friends or catch a game. Parking is available along the side of the building, but spaces are limited. Great food, excellent beer, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back!

Unfortunately, Lokahi Brewing's food missed the mark for me. Their brews were not bad, but there are other breweries in town that I prefer over Lokahi. I tried 4 different ones, and my favorite was the FLOOR IS GUAVA. Here's all the food we got: LOKAHI NACHOS w/ BIRRIA MEAT ($23) [3/5] - Portion was decent for $23, but the chips ran stale and there was uneven distribution of cheese and toppings throughout the nachos. Literally, one side had all the cheese and toppings. The birria meat didn't really taste of the classic Mexican spices that makes birria so good, it felt more like pulled pork. It was also dry. FRIED PICKLES ($10?) [2/5] - This was SO SALTY. I didn't really taste the tang of the pickles, felt like it was squeezed out of all its juice. It was ultimately just chips with a ton of salt. I downed two cups of water trying to finish these. Ultimately, I would come back to Lokahi Brewing for their shows and a brew or two, but I'll eat at home or elsewhere first before coming.
