Chill outdoor brew pub serving craft beer and poke.
8/2025: How can I not bump my review up to 5 stars, to match the new pricing where all sizes of all beer is $5? It’s definitely a lot busier here after they announced that. Gotta give props to ownership for keeping the community and the concept of an ideal brewery in their minds. Reminds me of when I was at trivia night at Honolulu Beerworks a couple years back, and after I lamented how expensive craft beer has been getting, an acquaintance scoffed saying that you won’t be able to find $5 craft beer in Hawaii anymore. Thanks for proving snarky acquaintances wrong, Beer Lab!
3/2025: Feels weird to not be giving a Beer Lab location 5 stars. No issues with the beer of course. The 9th anniversary styles are interesting and tasty. Service was great as usual. Thanks Pablo! The downside is the poke. Since each Beer Lab location has a different food concept, I guess it was bound to happen eventually. But the poke bowl was expensive for the size and the OG Hawaiian poke was ridiculously salty. I had trouble finishing it. I’ll be back for the beer, but next time I’ll either try a different flavor of poke or get food from Grace’s next door instead.
Absolutely lovely brewery! They have several different styles of beer on tap, from common varieties to less common (and super delicious) ones. Their poke and smoked ahi dips are out of this world. Dog friendly, a ton of board and card games, plus Cornhole make for a lovely place to gather with friends. Lasty, the staff is super friendly and helpful! We celebrated our engagement with friends, and they made our night special, from helping us organize decorations, being very attentive, and helping us out. Can't wait to go back.
This was my absolute favorite place during my visit to Honolulu. The poke at Beer Lab was the best of the 6 different poke places I tried around the area. The sauces were delicious, the poke was so fresh and it was prepared immaculately (Shout out to Harry who prepared mine). The beers are excellent here and at their Puck's Alley location (Pablo was fantastic in suggestions and discussions) and it's worth visiting each location as they have different choices with some overlap between each. I made my way here 3 times in the 5 days I was in Honolulu.
I like wheat ale. It was awesome. You can sit outside and play games.
Best beer I've had in Honolulu!
The vibes at this place are impeccable. Had a great time here. Pablo was super friendly; he let us try all the beer, had great stories, and gave us the scoop on the best places to go as a tourist! I would highly recommend anyone who likes beer to stop here!
this place is great! unique brews, great & friendly service and the poke was good too. the sour ranger or the Pb & guava were our faves.
went to visit 4 different breweries today and this was our favorite hands down.
the folks that gave it a 1 are trippin and should stick to drinking bud light or milk from their mama’s teat.
Went there today, waited in the rain for 15 minutes after 2 p.m. They never opened although their hours on the chain gate showed 2 p.m. Your company and failure to open on time makes your company and products complete garbage. Shame on you.
I liked this place last time I was here. Don't waste your time going there anymore. They obviously don't value their customers. Also, there is no way to leave a message and no one answers their phone. Stay away!
Underwhelming food, the fish tacos were 90% mediocre chips. The beer was odd combinations from pickle beer to peanut butter. Thank god we got 4oz tasters because we could barely finish those. Nothing made sense here. Better things to try in the area for sure.

Great place, great people, great beer! I was made to feel welcome amidst a New Year’s Eve rain storm and the beer and atmosphere is top rate. Stop by, you won’t be sorry!
A hidden gem in the rough. Go visit. Incredible fresh poké with several flavours and toppings. Laid back casual outdoor environment to enjoy. Fascinating stories at the bar. You won’t regret stopping by!
You can bring your own food! What a fantastic place! I am so IN LOVE! What a GREAT place! The staff is so friendly! So many games to play! Just overall 5 stars of FUN! Can bring your kids, dogs! Can reserve tables or the entire place for a family/friend party!
Good beer, great service, delicious food. True kindness.
Great spot. Nice quite enclosed yard. Beers are cold and tasty. Great easy drinking sour 👌 Covered picnic tables, yard games...easy place to kill an afternoon. 🍻
Easy to miss...keep ur eyes peeled for the small silver aging tanks... just before Grace's Inn & Times Supermarket.
