Great find in heart of downtown and super convenient for Hawaii Theatre nearby. The cocktails were super creative, espesh Holiday Specials. My friend had scallops which were superb! I loved apps of scrumptious fried brussels with cranberries, salmon dip and chopped salad add their special bacon chunks! Will def return when in area!

I love this place. It is pricey, but worth it. I always make sure to visit when I am in Honolulu.

I work in downtown close by, but have only gone here for dinner during the holidays when they light the place up so beautifully. The cocktail menu is one of the more creative and whimsical in town this time of year - and you will pay for it - but for an occasional splurge is OK. Practically everything we have ever ordered has been good! Shepherd's pie, bangers and mash, fish and chips (authentic) and those oddly green bao buns, make the menu an adventure. Gotta try lunch one day. And finally, always attentive and pleasant service. Will be back soon.

This was an office Christmas Luncheon. Everyone enjoyed their entree from the Shepherd's Pie, Butter Chicken, and the Chicken Sandwich. We ordered one of each dessert. All were delicious, and every one had a favorite. Service was outstanding! Boss said we are returning next year!

Brunch was delicious and well portioned. We were a bit late, but they were able to accommodate. Waiter was kind and explained the dishes to us. It was raining heavily that day but they had a spot for our umbrellas so that was no issue.

Dropped in to sample the weekend brunch menu. Had the spinach mushroom toast with a fried egg. Very tasty! The scones were a real treat too.

This was my fourth visit to Podmore and every time is better than the last. I've mostly had lunch here but this was my first brunch, AMAZING Hoping to bring my family for dinner

Podmore during Christmas was such a treat. The inside decor was very special and unique. The service was a little bit slow, but there was only one waitress, taking orders for the table diners. The food was good, but the portions were small. I got the scallops which were delightful, but they could do with some acid to break up the flavors and brighten the plate. there was also a little sand in one of the scallops I had. But overall, it was a great work lunch during Christmas. We parked at Alii place and walked over.

Cocktail menu is diverse and delightful, granted it’s relatively small portion cocktails so it gets spendy. I would say it’s fun for a night out getting drinks but not a regular place for drinks. Got 4 different food items, two entrees and two snacks. In my opinion none were worth the cost but they were all yummy, so if you don’t cook much food at home then it’s worth trying.
I’m celiac and the gluten free menu is NOT safe for celiacs, as someone who risks cross contamination though we got the Brussel sprouts, devils on horse back, curry dish, and shepherd’s pie. Definitely do not recommend for super gluten sensitive people. Also gluten free menu is very very limited. Overall food was tasty, cocktails were yummy and ambiance was awesome. Service was also exceptional, however everything was a little spendy considering the small portions.

The Xmas cocktail menu is a delight; I highlight recommend it. As usual, the ambiance was great, with Podmore confirming itself as one of the best cocktails bars in the city.
Lovely establishment with an interesting variety of seasonal cocktails.

Got the private booth at the front which was decked out in string lights and quite nice. Ordered drinks but martini specifically ordered with 3 olives came with none, then had to ask twice to get the olives. Drinks came after appy. Ordered the scallops, good, bangers and mash, very good, house made sausages, and the steak, very good, but unfortunately all the mains came at different times, like 2-3 minutes apart for each of us. Had to ask for my daughters main to come, as the waiter looked at the table and asked if we needed anything else?? really? Maybe just not the night for us, i'd give it another go.
