Went here for a tour of how they make a can beer and it was very informative! Then we had a bar meeting and got to try all the food! Definitely get the tasting flight and get one of all the food! I love the cream ale here!

First impression, a frat party on steroids. Guys and ladies in togas, ladies with attitudes and great craft beer. When I made my order, the female server rolled her eyes. Reminiscent of almost every frat party I have ever been to. Hurray!!! I should say, the service was exceptional. Everyone except for the one bartender was absolutely stellar. The manager Carrie here is great! Thank you Carrie! THE BEER: Cooke street USB English Style Bitter 5.9% ABV... this is quite good Kaka'Ako Kolsch 6% ABV... what a great Kolsch and a perfect beer for Hawaii. I found this beer style lacking here in Hawaii, but not at Honolulu Beerworks. WINNING!!! Poseidon's Pilsner 5.1% ABV... I finished with this. Wish I could have started with it. It was quite good. 24 dragons Imperial porter 10.5% ABV... thus is a smoked white porter and honestly one of the best beers I have had on the island of O'ahu... FIRE!!! So not what I expected, but exceptionally good, great, excellent! Hoppy Anniversary IPA 5.8% ABV... a delicious IPA, hop forward in the West Coast style Don't read the Rules DIPA 8% ABV... this is a sleeper, lower in ABV and sooo very drinkable, 2 or 3 of these and walking will be difficult Honolulu Beerworks is one of the most authentic breweries in Honolulu.

Great beer, great food and great service! We tried a number of beers - love the 4 oz size for tasting. I had a full size of the Makakilo Brown and my husband had the Sheltered Bay IPA. We shared a Reuben and a mixed green salad, which were both delicious. The best Reuben I've had in a while.

Our friends invited us here as his friends were playing just this past Friday. It was rainy day that day, and we didn't the side street parking to be full. It took us a bit of time to find parking, which is why I only gave 4 stars. I like the vibe here. It's an open air indoor space, but they also had outside space too. It can get really loud inside. There are also boardgames available. They had battleship, connect four and guess who. I feel like you can bring your own, just make sure you don't forget to bring it home. The servers were really nice, we were taken care of right away. They told us to scan the QR code for the menu. As soon as I saw the mac and cheese, I knew I had to get it. But since we were waiting for our friends still, we started with the garlic parm pretzels! Those were so delicious, it came with a mustard sauce. I personally didn't like the sauce as it was overpowering. Few minutes later our friends arrived and we ordered: * Chicken Mac and Cheese -- it tasted okay, but the macaroni was tasteless, it was bland. All I could taste was the breadcrumbs which added crunch to the dish. * Beef Dip -- they were pretty generous with the beef, but the portion for its price was definitely not with it. And I wish the cheese was melted which could've elevated the flavour. The dip was good too, I thought it'd melt the cheese but it didn't. * Takes Two to Mango -- refreshing! this one's a mocktail. * Beer Flight -- all delicious, but one stood out the most. I just can't remember which one.

I love this place. Wandering the arts district and we stumbled across it. The server was super, relaxed and friendly. Great place to hang away from the tourism crush. Oh, and the beer is delish.

Been going to Beerworks since it opened and everything from the beer to atmosphere has only gotten better! The new beers on rotation are always worth trying, the set beers they have has something for everyone. The food is always great and fresh, the service is always on point and friendly and the atmosphere is something is always super laid back and unique and there isn't another spot on the island that can give you the same experience!

It's located right next to the wall art. You can drink various types of alcohol starting from 4oz, so even though I don't like beer, I wanted to enjoy the atmosphere, so it was perfect! The price was about 2 to 3 dollars.It can be served in a container that can hold up to 6 glasses. cool!

Disappointed in bar server. We read rave reviews and were really looking forward to making this our first craft beer stop. We went in minutes after it opened and sat at the bar. The server was inattentive and aloof. We tried to engage with her, but she was completely disinterested. We ordered food and one of the dishes wasn't available, so we asked for a few minutes to look at the menu again. She never asked us if we wanted anything else. We were intending on staying for a couple of drinks and eating, but after her service, we paid the bill and went up the street to a competitor and received great service. We noted that the service provided to the tables by a different server was excellent.Would likely not go back there.
It’s kinda low energy and it’s not a lot of diversity in this area. The beer and food are good though. The atmosphere is kinda not it and I mean the music is just Taylor swift which is weird in brewery. I don’t think people wanna listen to like an 12 year old girls music playlist lol. Overall it would be better if it was more diversity and just a better vibe. I’d say it’s worth checking out though because they do have great beer

Great food alcohol live music!!!! Been here several times lots of fun! Music is awesome. We came to see our friends play. I had the edamame hummus and pastrami sandwich and a cocktail Onolicious. Great customer service and they check on you often. The band was playing jazz rock. We had a great time with our friends listening to music.

You can drink beer at the brewery. There are many types, and indicators of alcohol content and bitterness are also listed. The sample size is quite small, so you can enjoy many different types.
