10 Best Bars in Hilo

“pamello beer was outstanding.“

“The cocktails were very tasty, the food was also good but the portions were smaller than i was expecting for the price. Also a little unimpressed with the craft beer selection (mostly Kona Brewery, understandably). I think we came on a busy night so the server seemed busy and in a rush to get us in and out.“

“Great place to stop in and catch a few mix drinks that’ll definitely get you started. Great pub type!“

“They do have "live music" between the main dinning room and bar...right in the middle and it is way too loud. Sorry, I like live music but when it is overbearing it kills the atmosphere. Our service was compromised by the noise because our poor server just couldn't hear us.“

“Nice little karaoke bar. Definitely a good spot. And bonus- I didn't feel like I'd be stabbed there at any second. Honestly, the server was super nice and was super fast with our drinks and the mic when it was our tables turn to jam.“

“Came in for the first time even though I've worked across the street for years. I have no idea why I didn't come sooner! Ordered the Fish Pupu with Mahi and tartar sauce. Wish I got the full basket because this is delicious.

Fresh fish, moist and flakey meat with a crispy crust. Tartar sauce has a pickle flavor that normally I would avoid if they had told me upfront, but I really like it with the fish.

Decent selection of local beers on draught, too.

I'll be back!!

Vegetarian options: Grilled Cheese, Soup, Fried Vegetables“

“Friendly clean atmosphere“

“The best part about the Hilo Town Tavern is the Exhibit Gallery, which is attached to the dining area. For 8 1/2 years the Exhibit Gallery has supported many of the artists in Hilo and has been a major cultural icon. The Exhibit Gallery supports the First Friday Art Walk and other major Hilo events. I highly recommend visiting this gallery.“
