Stopped by this British-influenced bar and restaurant upon a recommendation on my last night in Honolulu. The service was a bit cold but the drinks definitely delivered. The cheeseboard-inspired blue cheese washed cocktail was unlike anything I’ve had with a deep savouriness balanced by the pleasant tart-sweetness of pickled grapes. It’s a showstopper. I also loved the alcoholic tepache, which is pleasantly fermented and not too sweet. Didn’t try any food but it sounded good too.

The cutest brunch spot in Honolulu, Hawaii!???This place is a gem located in the heart of the city!?Atmosphere: The exterior and interior could not be more different! The outside’s dark brick is a large contrast to the beautiful, modern look within. The inside has an overall neutral look with pops of color from the seats and curtains as well as gold accents throughout the space!Service: Our waitress was quick to get our orders and bring out the food. She would also check on us to make sure that we had everything we needed. Another one of the ladies there brought out complimentary mocktails since it was my birthday ?Menu items: I got the Kale, Truffle & Mushroom Lasagna and the Smoked Soufflé Pancake! I loved it all—flavorful and portioned well!Podmore was one of my favorite eats of the whole trip! They do brunch by day and cocktails at night!?

Really looking forward to brunch at the Podmore - I had heard great things. Boy, what a let down. My “Full English Breakfast” was hardly edible. The beans weren’t cooked through, the bacon was salty and tough, the eggs looked sad and unseasoned, the fried bread was cold and greasy and the home fries were soggy and cold. My coffee came lukewarm and the service was slack. the only high point was the price $34 USD - yes, that was just for the breakfast ! I have never thrown money away like that. On top of that I felt ill for the rest of the day. My partners was almost inedible, she had the Christmas Breakfast and left most of it. Oh, almost forgot to mention - their ketchup is sweet, like a jam and disgusting. To summarize, bad food and high prices, don’t bother wasting your time or money.

You're not brunching if you're not at Podmore! All the favors were beautiful and I didn't want to leave. Thank you @barpodmore for the most wonderful experience!! P. S. Emily is the best bartender ever...her drinks are masterpieces, pure art! The food was so good, we asked to meet the chef and I almost cried because I was in the presence of a true artist! I hope she's the chef in Heaven! Podmore is a 10/10!!

I had an unforgettable birthday celebration at Podmore in Honolulu, HI. The elegant and upscale atmosphere was exactly what my sister and I were looking for. The staff's warm welcome and excellent recommendations added to the positive experience. The "Physical Therapy" drink is a must-try, and though I can't recall the names, the other cocktails were equally delightful. The impeccably portioned and delicious food has left me eager to return. A truly remarkable dining experience!

Come for a cocktail, stay for the food (and for another cocktail)Had a wonderful experience at the Podmore for a work related dinner. The delicious custom drinks out everyone at ease (my personal favorite was the paper plane) and the food was delightful.Huge shout out to Alaina for exceptional service, excellent pacing of the meal, and for finding it in her heart to find an extra seat for Dan, the last second addition to our reservation.5/5 people would return!Parking: Street parking, I believe it was free

We stopped here for a pre-drink drink. I ordered the Latchkey Lunch, which was a delightful cocktail reminiscent of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The bartender was very friendly, and the atmosphere was great. I would definitely return here to try some more of their speciality cocktails.
Got the Shaka-Shaka for brunch. The eggs were sous vide perfectly, and the meal itself was incredibly tasty! Additionally, the bartender was very friendly and super sweet! This restaurant is well worth the visit & price!!

Was hesitant about trying this place because I remembered reading that it was owned by the same folks as Senia, and that place is a gimmicky disaster. However, Podmore is far from that. Just ordered the pupus, since a few coworkers and I went for happy hour. My favorite was the turkey confit buns. A-MA-ZING! A great holiday take on Peking duck. The bun was so perfect, exactly like a lotus bun. It had just the right amount of bounce and biting into this little morsel really was an experience because it took me back to Legend's or Golden Duck as a child. I love trying a new dish and having that initial bite transform into a memory. The citrus of the cranberry sauce, sweetness of the bun, richness of the duck along with the slaw (which added just the right amount of texture variation, might I add). We ordered one of each of their happy hour pupus: the proper fries, scotch eggs, papadams, and another dish. For their house cocktails, I ordered a Golden Triangle, which was also amazing. A drink has no business being that delicious. The flavor profile was incredibly dynamic from the time it first hit the tongue to the very end. According to their menu it contains high west double rye, rothman & winter apricot, black sesame, tamarind, and lemon. The tamarind def was apparent at the end. However, the flavors together just completely Guy Fieri'd my tastebuds. My party got the Tea Thyme, St. George and the Dragon, and Found in Oaxaca - not as good. Lol. The service could be better. The place isn't that big, but the waiter seemed very frazzled and wasn't very attentive. They also walked away twice before we could finish placing our orders. But it doesn't change the fact that I really enjoyed this place. So glad I tried it out. Next time, I'll be back to try the actual brunch or dinner menu.

Fairly new menu, some very interesting takes on traditional dishes. Hopefully they will expand to a Happy Hour situation. Specialty Cocktails are a bit pricey.
