Waikiki Brewing Company (2155 Kalakaua Ave.)

Walked in to watch the world cup. Had a great chicken salad sandwich with plenty of sports to watch. bartender was friendly. normal prices. There’s both a bar and restaurant section. place was busy. Good spot if in the area of the city north of Waikiki.

Really good food and only $8 cocktails which in my opinion is a really good deal. Especially during happy hour. You can get $5 beers

This place has a great atmosphere and good service, but unfortunately the food was very disappointing. The pizza tasted like cafeteria pizza small, with a cracker-like crust that definitely didn’t seem homemade. The wings were burnt, dry, and the presentation made them even less appealing. We actually left still hungry because the food was so unappetizing and ended up going to another restaurant afterward just to eat. Overall, it felt like a waste of money. If you’re looking for drinks and a fun atmosphere, this could be a good spot. But if you’re looking for genuinely delicious food, I wouldn’t recommend it.

We enjoyed a BBQ chicken burger with fries. We also had a Coke cola and craft beer. Everything was delicious. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. The inside has fresh air and fans and the outside is covered with umbrellas. The bathrooms are also very clean. The staff is friendly, kind, and professional.

Great selection of local beers. It was like my rest stop while walking back to my hotel, perfect location for me. I enjoyed the chicken wings with my beer. I would literally visit this place everyday if I could stay for much longer. The vibe was really wonderful. Awesome bartenders, very helpful in understanding the local beers, and very welcoming.

Convenient location, lots of seats. Several pale ales and IPAs on tap. Jalapeno mouth was an interesting beer, wouldn't order another. Fish tacos were tasty but blackened seasoning was a lot. Pineapple rice it came with was not good. Pizza was not good, too much dough, bland toppings.

Yikes. The tall hostess was incredibly rude. I have never been treated so badly at a restaurant. I almost turned around and left, but I was there to see friends, so I just let it slide. The good news is that everyone else I met there was super nice. The bartenders were phenomenal, and the other staff were also really nice. The other female hostess was great too, so I don’t know what was going on with the first hostess I met. I’m glad I didn’t leave because of her. The food was great, the drinks were great, and I will come back again—but I’ll definitely avoid that one tall hostess. Just in case you’re also offended by the tall hostess and want to go somewhere else, there are a bunch of food trucks across the street, and the food there is excellent. The great part is that it’s BYOB. Or, if you walk nearby, you can go to Tropics Bar and Grill and also Suzie Wong’s Hideout. It’s very similar to Waikiki Brewing. I promise no one will treat you badly at any of these other places! Just search “rude” in the reviews. It’s just one girl who’s making everyone mad. Why does she still work here?

Great local brewery in the heart of Waikiki. The hostess needs a slight attitude adjustment but other than that. The food was great; loaded fries, tacos and wow on the smoked wings (with a delicious homemade dipping hot sauce). We'll be back! Well done Waikiki Brewing. There is a lot to choose from and your brewery is a stand out!

30 years ago you couldn’t find any decent craft beer anywhere in Hawaii. Now, fortunately, there are several great spots for good beer on O’ahu. Waikiki Brewing Co. Is one of them. Pros: Really solid beers. Maybe not the absolute top on the island, but very close. Nice selection of regular brews plus a lot of temporary trial beers. All very good. The Black Strap porter is complex with a strong chocolate presence. All their IPAs are great. Good food selections and preparations. Their smoked wings are very good. Perfectly smoked and generous portions. The poke nachos are excellent but could use a few more wantons. Cons: It’s LOUD! Small parking lot and if you don’t get a spot then it’s very hard to find anywhere else to park. It’s become one of our regular spots to visit.
