Nathan KamDecember 8, 2012The Black Sand Porter is an excellent choice if you like your beer dark. Delicious.
Sandi BaumanDecember 24, 2015Pizza is fantastic... Will be back. Cross your fingers and pray that you get waitress Valerie- she totally makes up for the hour wait.
lino brescia™August 26, 2021Came for a quick beer. Didn’t eat. Good stop. No tours but I don’t need to see big metal tins. Give me beer.
ecomaginationSeptember 17, 2010Enjoy a brew & learn how Kona’s reclamation system controls the air conditioner for water heating, and collects more than 90 gal. of condensation per day used for landscaping irrigation.
Lisa TaylorOctober 22, 2017Beef sandwich with au jus sauce best. Guacamole and chips not so great. Had spicey over ripe flavor with green onions and tomatoes in it. Chips bit hard. Fish tacos okay, fish lacked seasoning
Thomas ColtonSeptember 4, 2013Fun place to grab some lunch. Super touristy, but what would you expect? Try the beer sampler and get some styles that aren't for sale anywhere else
Ahi tuna poke is, without question, the best dish on the menu. Amazing and CHEAP!!!
Hailey McEntyreDecember 13, 2012The shrimp melt was great! Also, try the pepperoni pizza rolls as an appetizer. So good!
Helen ZhangApril 7, 2018Go for the beers and atmosphere. Food is fine but...not as good as the beers and atmosphere!
Ketan JSeptember 5, 2012The hummus plate is spectacular, especially the accompaniments. The eggplant lasagna entree is a nice creative alternative to the pizza
Sin-Young ParkSeptember 22, 2018Make sure to join the tour - learn quick facts about Kona Brewery but more importantly, beer tasting 🍻🍻
Great Pizza and Beer. Get here just as the tourists are enjoying the sunset to avoid the long wait. Sit outside and enjoy the weather.- Daniel HollidayDecember 10, 2015Great seasonal beers by Kona you cannot get any place but the big island and great pizza!
Simone BennettJanuary 4, 2013Wailua Wheat, usually a summer seasonal beer, is on tap here during the winter! My fav & goes great w/ Thai Chicken Pizza!
Andy GrayAugust 12, 2013Get here early for the tours. 2 a day, only 15 people. Consider coming early, signing up, get some stuff done and return later.
Neel HajareDecember 6, 2021Pizza is fine. Beer is more or less the same as what’s mass-distributed (only a few brewpub exclusives, and not very different).
- Island BruinApril 19, 2016Almond Joy- black sand porter and koko brown- candy bar in a pint glass- fantastic
Summer BorowskiAugust 9, 2014Great pizza great beer and even great salads! Gotta go to Brew Pub if you're in Kona
Teo DahlkeMarch 28, 2012If you think you don't like hummas, Youve never had the "Brewpubs" hummas appetizer.If You love hummas, you gotta try it at the "Brewpub". It's RAGS German Auto's top pick
Ricky NanceJuly 7, 2013Awesome place, but the blonde (really blonde) bartender has a serious attitude problem, and seemed bothered when we asked her for simple things. Maybe she should find a new place to work...
Natalie MJune 18, 2016Check out their gift shop on the way out. Great gifts to bring home to your peeps
Jim WMay 26, 2013Get a slice, salad and a seasonal sampler for a great cross section of the magnificence that is Kona
Drew MilamJanuary 30, 2018Overly touristy, beers aren’t great or worth the trip alone. Expect a wait for mediocre food and beer, but don’t go out of the way to visit.
- Penelope LouiseNovember 16, 2017Get one of the sampler boards to try the beers before getting a full pint!
- Nathan KamDecember 8, 2012The black pepper chips are a great companion to any sammich....and brewsky!
Always a wait. Go inside and grab open seating in the bar. Save yourself an hour.
Busy place in the evenings but not long waits unless there is live music. Get a beer at the bar and sit outside to share the Aloha.
Holly HendersonOctober 25, 2012The pretzel with white cheese beer sauce is to die for. I also love the Puako pizza... yum!!!
HsiniSeptember 11, 2013Find a coupon in travel books (try amaro car rental) for free garlic twist when you border the samplers.
Gracel DiomampoAugust 12, 2017Good pizza, good cheese bread. Pork mini bite was good enough for meal
Lisa McDonaldSeptember 14, 2013The pizza's, salads and beers here are fantastic, the service is great too!
Allison NuanesSeptember 14, 2014Server recommended "ghetto American red" is a blend of the Devyno IPA and Lavaman Red. Pretty tasty!
Bob MeyersMay 17, 2012Pepperoni Alii pizza. Buy a growler of your favorite brew at the beginning of your trip. Fills and refills 20% off 5-7p.
Brian BresnahanMay 23, 2012If you are here and like beer you have to try in the pub specials, they are very creative and quite amazing
Brian SantFebruary 17, 2012Seems as if a lot of locals hang out at the bar in the afternoon. A good sign. Also, the beer is fucking delicious.
Liza JDecember 7, 2011Delicious gingerade! Too bad there are tons of flies outside. And the Mauna Loa salad is underwhelming. I should have gotten one of the awesome looking sandwiches.
Erik PlathOctober 15, 2022Food is good (except for the beer cheese queso, just bland). Beer is great as usual
Alexander PolsonMarch 16, 2014Most brews are available on the main land but there's something special about visiting the pub itself.
