Adam Stallman

One of my favorite breweries ... Food is good here and they try to use local ingredients , but what is best is they serve many beers that they only make available in Hawaii. Like Lavaman Red Ale .

Constance Duong

Slow on Sundays during football season until 5pm when they have live music . Get their beer of the week for $3.75/pint! Also check out the free tours at 10:30am and 3pm - get there early to sign up.

Auntie T

Take the brewery tour & sample at the end. The food was super fresh & tasty. They use the spent grain from brewing to make all the dough ; what they can't use they give away to local farmers for free.

Bangers and mash and turkey pesto were delicious but no pictures because it was gone too fast. And of course the beers are great too. They do offer beer pairings with many of the dishes.

Casey Anderson

The original Kona Brewing company brewery . Grab lunch or dinner , with gourmet pizzas and sandwiches . Drink a specialty brew only offered here. Later, pick up Kona Brewing merchandise as a souvenir.

Brian Sherrer

We stopped in before our flight home from our honeymoon. We shared a pizza and the fish tacos . Beers were had and it was a great atmosphere to spend out last few hours. Wouldn't change a thing!

DoubleDeuce

A great spot to stop for a beer . It's ridiculous trying to get in here, so consult your map app before trying to eyeball the route in.

Crystal

Get your beer and pizza fix here. Ask for the seasonal brews - the ginger and lemongrass infused beer was fantastic. The Puna Pie rocked with large chunks of roasted garlic and smoked mozzarella .

Brodie Olmstead

Don't bother with the other entrees - just get a salad and pizza . They're all good, but my go-tos are Kohala, Kau Pesto and Puna Pie . Don't forget the beer !

Brooke

Fun, nice atmosphere, great beer and food! I like the wings , and all the beers are great. Get a flight or go exotic . Nothing much gluten free except salads , though

Gordon Robertson

Even on a rainy dreary day, it's great. Servers cheerful and helpful. Food was delicious. Had the BBQ Chic sandwich , wife the Shrimp sandwich . Fantastic chips . Get the beer sampler . Heck, get two.

Whit Maull

The tour is a steal. $5 for 4 beer samples , a souvenir glass, and a lot of knowledge . The restaurant also serves amazing food.

Caroline

Stopped over at Kona Pub & Brewery . Had a delicious Pizza and a Hanalei IPA beer . Great service. Highly recommend this place with aloha flair. Try it out for yourself.

Matt Sproles

Please, if you like pepperoni , peppers and a little spice, do yourself a favor and get the Pepperoni Ali'i! Oh and try as many of their beers as you can, I couldn't find one I didn't like!!

Carmen

Sadly, the Cubano is not on the menu anymore but the sliders totally make up for it. The terrace rocks, and on Sunday after 5 PM it literally rocks 

Melinda McCullough

Quite possibly the best Poke ' I have ever had! The beer with a hint of passion fruit is light crips and so smooth!

Kat ????

Delicious Ahi Poke ! I got a sampler for the beer - I enjoyed Koko Brown and Pipeline Porter a lot. But unfortunately the Kanaha Blonde was too watery, and the Wailua Wheat has an unpleasant taste.

MariLou Harveland

Oh, man, the beer ! Frickin' fantastic! The long wait is my only complaint. Everything else was top-notch. Great food, excellent service, and did I mention the beer ?!!?

Joe Stainbrook

If you're alone, just head to the bar , find a seat, and talk to locals, visitors, and staff . Great place to get to know people and have good food and beer !

Kenan Farrell

Big beer selection , you'll definitely find something you'll want. The place is always packed. Pricey but hey you're on vacation, so enjoy.

Meg Farmer

Pretty close to the airport , we grabbed a tasting flight and some lunch . Perfect way to relax into your arrival at the big island . Lots of outdoor seating .

Josh Jones

Best value around, big portions of amazing food at affordable prices . Get the nachos and any pizza , you won't be disappointed.

Steve J

If you get a pizza I recommend getting the spicy marinara sauce that comes on the pele pizza either on the pizza or on the side it's great!! Wash it down with a fire Rock pale ale to add to make epic.

Ece

I love this place! Everything is so tasty! Wailua wheat is my fav beer . Pizza and nachos are also highly recommended!

Heather North

the kalua pork pizza was amazing! I recommend trying one of the beers you can't get in a bottle back home, like the black sands porter .

Richard Peng

The Garden pizza is amazing! So are the nachos which are huge and deliciously toasted

Damian Bayona

Get a flight to try all the beers not sold on the mainland. Recommend splitting a pizza with your ohana and pals. Expect a wait for dinner

Anna Dackiewicz

One of few fancy places for dinner , great food, possibility of beer tasking (9$ for 4 small glasses of your choice). Waiting list to get there.

Penelope Louise

The Black Sand Porter is the best if you’re a dark beer fan! Also the pork tacos are delicious.

Jeanine Carr

Definitely take the tour if you have the chance. The staff are super knowledgeable .

Nick Fruendt

Fantastic place for brews! You can get a table outside or come inside and drink at the bar .

Suzanne Nowicki

Loved the $9 slice and salad option on the menu. $9 beer sampler was great. Live music and a great time. Could have spent all afternoon here :)

Max K

Your favorite Kona beers will taste different here because this is one of the few (only?) spots to get Kona beer brewed on the island rather than the mainland.

Todd S

The Chocolate Macadamia Nut Stout was delicious with the Porterhouse Dip and pepperoni pizza .

Spencer Sorrell

Try the shrimp melt or Chipotle Chorizo Queso - you won't be disappointed either way! Wash anything down with a brewski of course!

T T

Best nachos I've ever had! And I love that you can create your own pizzas with such a big variety of toppings!

まっふぃ

Guacamole dip tastes GREAT. Best one I ever had in restaurants . Cannot stop ordering another pint :)

Rebecca Ling

Great atmosphere and friendly service . Shrimp sandwich and Imu pork sandwich were delicious. Beer was excellent.

Peregrinator

Great pub style food with many ingredients that feature their beer . Great beer - get a couple samplers and well sample it!

Steve Stigall

Try a flight of their beers . Everything I have tried here had been great, but my new favorite is the Lava Man Red Ale ,

RC

The kohala special Wednesday pizza is great. Try the mango Saison. Amole seating and nice outdoor area .

Mary Archer

Sundays, music at 5.Very cool tour guide on Sundays... a lady, tattoos , breaks the rules... fun stories and generous with samples. : )Free gift , bring in Tourist pamphlet, get big sticker logo.

Preferred Traveler

Craft beers and beautiful Hawaii, what else do you need to know. Two words: Liquid Aloha.

Tony P

Pizza is amazing. Beer is too. If you are on the big island , just keep coming back to this place.

Richard Bowers

Tours twice daily, make reservations , including tastings of four drinks if their choice and a souvenier glass.

Kim Handy

Mauna Loa spinach salad with chicken is terrific. Gluten free choice and they offer 2 gluten free beers by Omission. What a treat.

Kristen Sackley

Possibly beat pizza I've ever had- and I'm from Chicago. Loved the lemongrass beer , great live music on Sunday nights.

angel mels

Joined the brewing tour , the guide will explain anything bout Kona beer brewing and enjoy the beer tasting. My fave: Longboard + blackened tuna sashimi + pizza (the dough made from the beer yeast)

Shoaib Haroon

Pepperoni rolls are amazing. You can get food to go if you don't want to wait forever for a table.

Mark J.

Best beer in the state . Any and all of it. The Lavaman and the Longboard are amazing in particular.
