About
A New Way to Sip in Kakaako
Forget the standard bartender hustle. Off The Wall Craft Beer & Wine brings a high-tech, self-serve approach to the Honolulu craft scene. Located right in the heart of the bustling Kakaako district, this spot allows you to take control of your glass. With dozens of taps lining the walls, you can sample a splash of a local IPA or pour a full pint of a complex sour, paying precisely by the ounce as you go.
The Industrial Pour Experience
The aesthetic matches the gritty-turned-chic vibe of the neighborhood. Expect high ceilings, exposed industrial ductwork, and a steady buzz of conversation that makes it perfect for a low-stakes first date or a casual weekday wind-down with coworkers. The system works via an RFID card you tap against the screen, which keeps the experience tactile and interactive—watching the beer flow from the tap into your glass becomes its own kind of entertainment.
What to Expect
While the focus is clearly on the rotating tap list that highlights Hawaii’s growing microbrewery movement, the wine selection is surprisingly curated for a beer-centric venue. You might find a crisp Sauvignon Blanc to cleanse the palate after a flight of heavy stouts. Be prepared for a bit of a learning curve if you are a newcomer to the self-pour kiosk model, but the staff is usually quick to show you the ropes. One thing to note: the acoustics can get a bit loud when the room reaches capacity, so if you are looking for an intimate, whispered conversation, you might want to time your arrival for the earlier afternoon hours before the local crowd settles in.

Not a bad place to grab a few beers and casual dinner items. The food and beer were both good. I had one gripe with the ordering process. You need to go to the front each time you want food. For a place that gives you a token for the beer taps you think they would have a QR code at the table for ordering.

We picked this restaurant for my daughter and son-in-laws reception dinner. It was amazing! There are no complaints only positive! Awesome atmosphere! Food was delicious! Drinks were great! Staff were helpful and available but not too involved. We couldn’t have asked for or gotten better service and food. We had a large selection that my daughter picked over email. It was served banquet style with drink cards pre-loaded for guests. The food served was my favorite from our whole trip. Thank you!!

You may go to Off The Wall for the beer but you stay for the tasty food and awesome staff! Their food is fresh and innovative. For brunch we tried the mochi waffle (just the perfect amount of sweet and mochi chewy) and bagel egg sandwich. Every time we go here, we are greeted with incredibly kind and helpful staff. We even had dinner the night before with the best burger, crispy/fluffy potato wedges, fresh chopped salad w sweet cherry tomatoes, really fresh lettuce, and a delicious homemade hummus appetizer. When you go to Off the Wall, you are guaranteed fresh, homemade food served with kindness!

Off the Wall Bar is such a fun and unique spot right on Waikiki Beach. It’s a self-serve beer and wine bar where your card is linked to a key card, giving you easy, self-vending access to a great variety of delicious options—perfect for sampling without the pressure of ordering a full pour. The food was also surprisingly great with several options to choose from. The chicken salad, in particular, was absolutely delicious and stood out as a must-try. It’s also a very cool hangout spot and an ideal pre-concert stop since it’s conveniently close to the Blaisdell concert venue. Scott was fantastic—friendly, helpful, and really added to the overall great experience. Relaxed vibes, great drinks, and solid food make this a place I’d definitely come back to. 🍷🍺

Ambiance: - Decor: Rustic style. Plenty of metal and wood combinations. - Noise Level: Medium. It is a place where many people come to get some draft drinks, so it's expected to be more on the loud side. - Comfort: The size of the place is more on the small side of things. There is a small outside area with about 5 to 6 small tables.l, first come and first serve basis. The seats outside are not the most comfortable and very heavy to come around. Service: - Staff Friendliness: we were greated at the front and the concept of the restaurant was explained to us. They keep your card on file while you are in there and you obtain a "drink card" to get your beers whenever you want. The workers overall were very nice but we did feel rushed multiple times and the lady kept coming out to get things of the table to often. - Wait Time: Wait time to be seated was minimum and to received the food, it was normal. Food: - Dishes Tried: Empanadas, Grilled Cheese Sandwich, and the Vegan Burger. It's worth mentioning that the restaurant was out of Brussels Sprouts and Chimichurri Sauce. - Taste: In general the concensus was that the empanadas were over seasoned, but good crunch to it. The vegan burger was under cooked and missed flavor as a whole. Lastly, the Grilled cheese sandwich had a really thick bread that did not pair well with the dish itself. The flavor of the sandwich was below average. For a simple dish, it was definitely missing the "this is good" factor. - Presentation: Good. - Portions: Good size for one person. - Value for Money: Based on flavor. No Drinks: - Variety: Good amount of different beers and a few wines selections. - Quality: N.A (did not have drinks) Hygiene: - Cleanliness of the Venue: Great. The bathrooms were not used in this visit. - Staff Hygiene: Great. Overall Experience: - Best Part: The concept they have of self-serve for drinks. - Worst Part: the disappointment with the food. - Recommendations: For a quick and easy bite maybe this is the place for you but if you actually want to seat and enjoy your meal and company, it might not be the best place. Final Rating : Average (3 stars)

(Last visited 12/10/2022.) On vacation in Hawaii for a couple of weeks and I saw some time ago that the best wings (according to the Mashed YouTube channel) in Hawaii were here at Off The Wall Craft Beer & Wine. I'll be the judge of that... so here's how things went! Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is located inside the South Shore Mall located in Honolulu. There's no direct signage outside the lets you know this place is here, but once inside you'll see it clearly. The restaurant is beautiful though. The big windows let in a whole lot of natural light, the ceilings are super high with exposed ventilation and the structure around is a mixture of brick and wood. I really liked it in here. It was fairly quiet since it was the middle of the day during a weekday. Service: I can't remember the name of our server, but I think her name was Naomi or something like that. She was really sweet and even took the time to give us a list of about 25 other places around the islands that we should check out! She was simply awesome. Food/Drinks: So here at Off The Wall, drinks are just that. Off the wall. When you check in to the host stand they run your credit card and give you a restaurant card. With this card you're allowed to get an empty drink glass then go up to any of the available beers or wines on the wall and access them. You tap your card and then pull down on the lever. Once this happens a volume counter will begin to let you know how much has gone into your glass and then the total price is revealed to you as well. The first beer I tried was Killah Dragon cider by Paradise Ciders. It was fruity, a bit sour, not terribly sweet, but had lots of bold fruit flavors. Next up I tried Red Zeppelin by The Aloha Beer Co. This one was a bit bitter, not sweet at all, more-so on the heavy side, but a strong, hoppy, flavorful beer you'd need breaks between. When we came, we actually were able to check in on Yelp and there was an offer available where they gave you a free order of empanadas! They're big, fluffy and flaky and is served over a bed of slaw with a side of chimichurri sauce. These were INCREDIBLE. They were buttery, crispy, warm, hot, not spicy, full of meat and seasoned so well. Next up are what Mashed Food called the best wings in all of Hawaii. You get a choice of BBQ, salt & vinegar or chimichurri. The last option sounded the best so we went with those. They are gigantic. Lol. They're also topped with sesame seeds and scallions. These were... okay. I thought they would've been crispy, but they were more fleshy. The flavors were mild and not very bold, but decent. Next up I tried the Portlock Porter by Aloha Beer Co. Of course it was thicker, more down-to-earth, a little bitter, with some mild chocolate and coffee flavors. I was most impressed by how unsweet it was, which make the beer much easier to drink. Next up was the Off The Wall Burger. It was THICCC and stacked high. It came with thick hand-cut fries that were delicious and served with a nice, light aioli. On the burger is smoked gouda, bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado that I added. The burgers are cooked to your preferred temperature. I asked for medium-rare and it came out medium well. The flavors worked very well together, but weren't very bold. It was cool. Value: The empanadas that we got would've been $15.00 for the 2 had we not checked in. The wings were $17.00 and you get 6, but they're enormous so they eat more like 10. The burger was $22.00 with the fries. Things were a bit inflated here as far as pricing goes, but it's Hawaii. It just is what it is. Bring the wallet and expect to spend here. In conclusion, I enjoyed myself. I enjoyed everything that I ate, but most things could've been better. Check this place out if you're in the area.

We stopped by Off the Wall for happy hour without a reservation and were warmly welcomed right in. We grabbed a table outside and enjoyed the breezy (windy) atmosphere, perfect for a Friday afternoon. The food was absolutely on point. The Brussels sprouts with bacon were slightly spicy, crispy, and bursting with flavor - an absolute must order! We also tried the calamari, which was cooked to perfection and paired with a creamy cilantro sauce that took it to the next level. So good! I really appreciated that they offered a nonalcoholic beer option. I ordered the Lagunitas Hazy IPNA which was refreshing with a fruity flavor- it was like summer in a glass! It’s great to see spots like this offering something for everyone. The service was excellent from start to finish. Staff was friendly, attentive, and really made us feel at home. We’ll definitely be back for more happy hour bites and chill vibes!

Wow! I had only known this as beer and wine place but never expected that it has such a great brunch as well! We came here just because next door restaurant was completely full for brunch, but honestly it was as good as our experience at any of the “top notch” brunch places. Our expectation was “average bar food” but they were way beyond! I had the fried burrito and my husband got the grilled cheese sandwich.

Such a fun concept. You put your card on the reader and pour as much, or as little, as you want. They have a good variety of both beer and wine so no matter what your preference they have something for you! While you are enjoying your drinks it's worth perusing the food menu. An excellent selection of shareable plates or something just for yourself! The food is excellent, we tried a few items and based on that I'm certain you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
