About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for special occasions
Podmore is a neighborhood restaurant and cocktail lounge in vibrant, urban Downtown Honolulu. We extend a warm welcome to join us in our cozy dining room or at our beautiful bar to savor exquisite gastropub cuisine and world-class cocktails. With our award-winning interiors in an historic building, Podmore is the perfect destination for lunch, happy hour, dinner, cocktails and weekend brunch.

Created by the husband-and-wife team behind Senia, Chef Anthony Rush and Katherine Nomura, Podmore is the spot on Oahu for expertly executed comfort food and innovative cocktails, complimented by good old-fashioned hospitality.

From our bacon to our pasta to our ice cream, we make things in-house, from scratch, locally-sourced whenever possible. The craft behind what we do has made Podmore one of Honolulu's best restaurants.

Please note that in the evening, our kitchen closes at 10pm. Reservations from 10pm and later are for drinks only.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Anthony Rush

From the OpenTable editors: Playful cocktails and comfort food are the stars at this stylish sequel from the beloved Senia team led by chef Anthony Rush and his wife and co-owner Katherine Nomura. Get comfortable at one of green banquettes overlooking Alakea Street or at the marble bar and pick from nearly two dozen cocktails like the tropical Secret Swiftie with amaro and dishes like beer battered fish and chips. End on a sweet note with the flight of three pie-inspired cocktails.

    The interior is beautiful! I’ve been here once before the menu change. Good options! The roasted cauliflower appetizer is delicious and so was the carbonara. The scallops were a bit over cooked and the cottage pie was pretty tasty! The only thing my party didn’t enjoy is being seated at the low table right by the entrance. We would prefer a regular table and not have to bend over to eat.

    If you are looking for a great cocktail bar and appetizers - this is YOUR place. Incredible cocktails. Appetizers are good - highly recommend the roasted pork buns . Fish and chips okay - nothing special. I was looking forward to triple cooked chips but the chips were just single fried. Restaurant was still recovering from the previous night power failure so some items were not available.

    The food was tasty as were the cocktails. And the service was very attentive and helpful without being too clingy. Another great lunch for me.

    I regularly go to Podmore, and this time, I brought two visitors. We sat at the bar and enjoyed two excellent cocktails each before heading off to dinner elsewhere. As usual, the welcome was warm at the Podmore, and each of the cocktails were fun and enjoyable. The room was busy but not loud, and the other patrons were friendly. It is a sign of the good spirits that Podmore raises. I have eat there too in the past and enjoyed the range of small plates and main courses. This restaurant/cocktail bar is one of my favorites in the city!
