About
A Pour-Your-Own Paradise in Kaka'ako
Stepping into Growler Hawaii feels less like a traditional bar and more like a high-tech workshop for hop lovers. Located in the heart of Honolulu’s vibrant Kaka'ako district, this spot ditches the standard bartender-heavy model for a self-serve wall of taps. It’s an interactive experience where you hold the power—and the RFID card—to sample everything from crisp local IPAs to adventurous fruit-forward ciders.
The Flow of the Room
The atmosphere is industrial and airy, defined by polished concrete floors and the low hum of cooling units keeping the kegs at optimal temperatures. You will hear the distinct 'hiss' of CO2 and the chatter of locals navigating the digital touchscreen kiosks. It’s the perfect place to drop in after exploring the nearby street art or hanging out at the beach, provided you don't mind the occasional line at the tap wall during peak Friday evening hours.
Crafting Your Own Tasting Flight
Because you pay by the ounce, it’s remarkably easy to build a custom flight that spans the entire spectrum of flavors. You might start with a refreshing brew from a nearby island producer and finish with a heavy, barrel-aged stout from the mainland. The staff is knowledgeable without being overbearing, ready to nudge you toward a specific profile if the sheer variety on the wall feels overwhelming. It’s a low-pressure, high-reward way to spend an afternoon in the city, especially if you enjoy having control over every pour.

Update: we went here twice during our stay. You can’t beat the extensive beer/ales/drinks repertoire. Loved trying 3 different types of beers, and cheaper than most bars. The kalua pork tacos were delicious and the buffalo chicken wrap wasn’t bad, maybe could of done with a bit more chicken, but had just the right amount of spice. Great, attentive service. Busy, buzzing atmosphere. Sports on the tvs and a dart board. Would return and recommend for a casual evening.

Arrived ten minutes before the grill closed, however, the wait staff was still attentive and let us place an order for our party of 8. Everyone enjoyed various beers and the food was delicious. My only disappointment was the blue cheese dressing for my wings and salad. It was definitely low quality and probably from a plastic bottle. The wings were so good so it was a shame the blue cheese dressing was so deplorable. Would definitely visit again though!

Great casual spot with alot of beers on draft. Margaritas and long Island iced tea on specials during happy hour. Some appetizers are 20% off too. Kitchen little slow but to be expected during nba finals. Drinks came out in a fairly timely matter. A few times I had flag down the server but they are pretty attentive and friendly. Chicken wings are huge and meaty. We got honey Sriracha flavor. Could've used a little more sauce. Ranch not served with it but we didn't need it. Garlic shrimp had a decent amount, garlic bread could have used more butter or garlic. New York steak appetizer was ok for the price. Gotta enjoy the game with food and drinks. Will be back to watch sports and have a few beers next time.
