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

Enjoy 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.

The Black Sand Porter is an excellent choice if you like your beer dark. Delicious.
Sandi BaumanDecember 24, 2015
Pizza is fantastic... Will be back. Cross your fingers and pray that you get waitress Valerie- she totally makes up for the hour wait.
Thomas ColtonSeptember 4, 2013
Fun 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

Came for a quick beer. Didn’t eat. Good stop. No tours but I don’t need to see big metal tins. Give me beer.
Lisa TaylorOctober 22, 2017
Beef 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

Ahi tuna poke is, without question, the best dish on the menu. Amazing and CHEAP!!!
Hailey McEntyreDecember 13, 2012
The shrimp melt was great! Also, try the pepperoni pizza rolls as an appetizer. So good!
Neel HajareDecember 6, 2021
Pizza is fine. Beer is more or less the same as what’s mass-distributed (only a few brewpub exclusives, and not very different).
Heather PopilJanuary 13, 2015
Great selection of porters, good pizza and outdoor seating!
Ketan JSeptember 5, 2012
The hummus plate is spectacular, especially the accompaniments. The eggplant lasagna entree is a nice creative alternative to the pizza

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.
Sin-Young ParkSeptember 22, 2018
Make sure to join the tour - learn quick facts about Kona Brewery but more importantly, beer tasting 🍻🍻
Daniel HollidayDecember 10, 2015
Great seasonal beers by Kona you cannot get any place but the big island and great pizza!
Helen ZhangApril 7, 2018
Go for the beers and atmosphere. Food is fine but...not as good as the beers and atmosphere!
Simone BennettJanuary 4, 2013
Wailua Wheat, usually a summer seasonal beer, is on tap here during the winter! My fav & goes great w/ Thai Chicken Pizza!
Scott ClaytonNovember 17, 2017
Pizza is delicious! We liked the BBQ Chicken and the Captain Cook.
Island BruinApril 19, 2016
Almond Joy- black sand porter and koko brown- candy bar in a pint glass- fantastic
Andy GrayAugust 12, 2013
Get here early for the tours. 2 a day, only 15 people. Consider coming early, signing up, get some stuff done and return later.
Emilia AllonsoDecember 2, 2019
Pepperoni roll + Puna pizza + flight tasting 👌🏻
Summer BorowskiAugust 9, 2014

Itzeljaz ChavezJanuary 4, 2016
Precioso lugar, amazing beer, warm people
Teo DahlkeMarch 28, 2012
If 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
Drew MilamJanuary 30, 2018
Overly 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.
Natalie MJune 18, 2016
Check out their gift shop on the way out. Great gifts to bring home to your peeps
Penelope LouiseNovember 16, 2017
Get one of the sampler boards to try the beers before getting a full pint!
Josh WardellMay 6, 2015
Best food on the island! Even their unusual beers are super drinkable.
Jim WMay 26, 2013
Get a slice, salad and a seasonal sampler for a great cross section of the magnificence that is Kona
Ricky NanceJuly 7, 2013
Awesome 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...
JesseSeptember 27, 2013
Get a sample of every seasonal. Their pizza is amazing.
Nathan KamDecember 8, 2012
The black pepper chips are a great companion to any sammich....and brewsky!

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.
Jessica PlacenciaApril 10, 2017
Do a beer taster and try the poke, even if you don't like poke.

Always a wait. Go inside and grab open seating in the bar. Save yourself an hour.
Holly HendersonOctober 25, 2012
The pretzel with white cheese beer sauce is to die for. I also love the Puako pizza... yum!!!
Allison NuanesSeptember 14, 2014
Server recommended "ghetto American red" is a blend of the Devyno IPA and Lavaman Red. Pretty tasty!
HsiniSeptember 11, 2013
Find a coupon in travel books (try amaro car rental) for free garlic twist when you border the samplers.
Lisa McDonaldSeptember 14, 2013
The pizza's, salads and beers here are fantastic, the service is great too!
Gracel DiomampoAugust 12, 2017
Good pizza, good cheese bread. Pork mini bite was good enough for meal
Bob MeyersMay 17, 2012
Pepperoni Alii pizza. Buy a growler of your favorite brew at the beginning of your trip. Fills and refills 20% off 5-7p.
Laney_msFebruary 6, 2016
nice place, friendly staff and good food! several vegetarian options!!!
Ted sAugust 10, 2013
Sampler to stay, growler to go. Coconut brown ale is remarkably impressive too.
Brian BresnahanMay 23, 2012
If you are here and like beer you have to try in the pub specials, they are very creative and quite amazing
Erik PlathOctober 15, 2022
Food is good (except for the beer cheese queso, just bland). Beer is great as usual
Brian SantFebruary 17, 2012
Seems 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, 2011
Delicious 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.
David ShepardJanuary 4, 2019
Beer on tap not available anywhere else.
Alexander PolsonMarch 16, 2014
Most brews are available on the main land but there's something special about visiting the pub itself.
Dee SavageMarch 12, 2017
Love it here! Always visit here when on the islandz 🌊🌴💛
