Great vibe. Second time as I had to come back. The crew is super cool. You will dig it.

So, I know this technically a bar, but I come here for the food. I've been dining here since they first opened & have always favored this menu above all other restaurants in Hilo. With that said, It's been really sad to notice the prices rising, but the quality getting lower & lower. The past few times I've come in, the "fried" kalo was undercooked and slimy. The tomatoes in my salad had mold on the top near the stem area, and the sourdough bites had micro-hairs attached to them, which is definitely a mystery to me because it was not human hair but some kind of fiber??? Most devastating of all, the ahi carpaccio is just not the same anymore. It is way oversalted and just not what it usually is. The taste was so off that I almost didn't want to finish it, and usually, I am licking the plate clean! I am most definitely attention to detail when it comes to a meal that costs me close to $100. Front staff is usually always very kind & attentive. I hope chef can tighten up the kitchen crew so I can continue to enjoy temple foods.

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.

This review is way past due. We visited Hilo a while back and found this little gem for cocktails and appetizers which is open late.
Brittany helped us have a great experience. Thank you very much ?

Wish there was better and more private seating so you aren't in top of ppl, and the chairs were more comfortable. But, service and food. Amazing. Definitely be back.

Temple Bar in Hilo is a gem! The drinks and food are consistently delicious, and the service is always welcoming. A must-visit spot for an enjoyable night out! Christen and Britt are there Tuesday nights and hold it down! Come through!
