About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for craft beers
  • Good for groups
Kailua-Kona on Hawaii’s Big Island is the site of our brewery and first restaurant.

The brewpub opened in November 1998. In true Aloha spirit, we opted to make it out of locally-sourced materials, and we even built a 2,000 square-foot outdoor lanai that lets you kick back and breathe in the fresh island air.

Growler Shack is also open daily, serving food and beer-to-go.

    I booked well in advance of our one-week vacation to the Big Island as we love Kona beer and thought this would be a cool place to visit (we knew the brewery tours were unavailable due to the pandemic). We were escorted to one of two outdoor tables on a patio without an umbrella or the beautiful greenery you see on the website-so ambience was fair. As far as food quality, I ordered fish at every restaurant we visited while on the Big Island. This was by far the worst. The fish in the fish tacos was overcooked and crusty. I would not recommend this restaurant to a friend.

    Best pizza and fresh salads. You can even do half and half pizza in case you can't make up your mind. Two good IPAs - Kua Bay and Gold Cliffs. Very reasonably priced too.

    I have visited Kona multiples times, as I live in Michigan, but always make it a point to come here! With Covid it makes it a little more difficult to get a table, which is just about the same everywhere else you go especially in Kona. My recommendation is to plan ahead when you want to make reservations but make sure you go here! We got the Garlic Cheese Bread and Bacon Mac & Cheese along with the BBQ chicken pizza. All was amazing and I never have any complaints!
