Friendly service with decent drinks and ok food. The view made it all a bit better. The pork nachos were a hearty portion definitely made to share. This place is like most average dive bars but with ocean air.

Not sure this is a brewing company, but it is a restaurant with an upstairs that gets a great view of the bay and a fabulous breeze. It also has the nicest servers on the island; Kyle did a great job. I loved the Hawaiian Margarita and my husband's beer was cold. The calamari was delicious. The pork tacos, not so great, but our Mexican restaurant at home (South side of Chicago). Consider adding some pineapple, and a bit less soggy.

This restaurant has it all- a beautiful view, attentive staff, and excellent food! Our food restrictions occasionally make eating at restaurants difficult- but not at Paradise Brewing!! I asked a simple question regarding an appetizer. Our server, Nahele, turned that question into an amazing meal! Nahele, working with the chef, created this delicious dish to ensure I was entirely satisfied and happy! I would highly recommend a visit to Paradise Brewing!! Come hungry- Leave happy! Thanks Nahele!!

The food was phenomenal and the service was fantastic! Our server made great suggestions and she was very friendly. Highly recommend splurging on the dessert, especially the key lime pie. We even were lucky enough to watch the sunset and a luau performance that was happening across the way. Highly recommend!

Great food and great service. Coleslaw a must.

We stopped here one afternoon and the woman who led us to a table was snippy about our ADA stroller and we kept moving it here and there until she was happy. She stated that other patrons couldn't be hindered by the big stroller...Geez! Anyway, the views were nice and we were comfortable with the breeze and the beer was good! The young waitress that waited on us was awesome! The next day we went there for breakfast and it was ok, edible but not great. I would recommend Paradise Brewing for their beer, but not for their breakfast.

VERY dry fish tacos ($16 for 2 tiny bits of fish - see photo). We ordered chips and quacamole thinking since avocados are everywhere it'd be a generous serving. It was about 2 ozs (see photo) with stale tortilla chips.($8) The fries were cold. The pineapple slaw on the taco was good. Definitely will NOT go here again. When we complained the waitress said she'd comp our meal and then charged us full price. You need a key to use the restrooms to wash up and the ladies restroom was gross. Old and not clean.

First, in self seating, when we tried to choose a table we were admonished by waitstaff that the table was not bussed yet. One of my companions said we were ok to wait for it. The waitstaff finally decided to bus and wiped down the table and we thanked her. We then waited for about 10 minutes for menus. One of our party came back from the ladies and was pretty put off by the condition of the restroom. Considering they were locked it was surprising to hear. After a 15minute wait we got to place our orders. One hour later the waitstaff came by and said our food was coming. 15 minutes after that this phrase was repeated , I began to feel like a GOT character, and Winter was coming. 15 minutes later, still no food. We were not very happy by this time and it was beginning to show. Finally our food came out and it was mediocre, sigh. Certainly not worth the wait. I do not understand why we watched 4 other groups come in, get their food, eat and leave before we were served. The waitstaff became a lot more apologetic towards the end, but the attitude and lackluster service was enough to spur our party on the restaurant permanently. Do not waste your time on this restaurant!!!!

They have very good food with large portion sizes at a decent price for the Hawaiian tourist area. I had the black and blue burger. It was delicious. It was large and they didn't skimp on the fries either. My dining companion had the fish. She said it was very good and it came in a fairly large portion too. Great place to eat if you want a burger and you're with a pescatarian.

Good value happy hour on drinks and food. Nice selection of beers from multiple Hawaii breweries. Tater tots with mushroom cheese sauce were generously sized and tasty. Water view and especially nice in later afternoon. Look for nearby public parking as there is nothing generally on the street.

Great place for breakfast and lunch on Ali'i! The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and helpful and the view is awesome! What's not to like!

We stopped in here for a beer and ended up sitting at the bar. Nahele took great care of us and recommend a special release beer that was excellent. We were impressed with the beer selection from all over Hawaii and the great service.

We were in the mood for pizza so we walked to an establishment close to our hotel only to discover that it was carry out only. We walked down the street and found Paradise Brewing. They were not busy and we got a table right away. Unfortunately it went down hill from there. The menu featured "gourmet" pizza so I ordered a Margherita to split with my daughter. It was awful! My wife got wings and they were cold. The only decent meal was my son's burger. I would not go back.

The food here is absolutely amazing. I recommend the fish tacos and the fries are a must...but the Star of the Show is a lady named Shell. If you want some of the best drinks you have ever had, she makes the stuff of dreams. Thank you Shell for the hospitality and drinks!

When my wife and I arrived we were surprised the place wasn’t busier, but it was very nice and we got very good and personable service. Our waitress was a delight and made us feel right at home. We ordered a burger and a spicy poke. While we waited we got to enjoy a wonderful view of the bay and get to know some of the local wildlife when a small family of geckos scampered around the railing by our table. The food came out promptly, and while I’m no aficionado or expert, I experienced quite probably the best poke I’ve ever had in my life. The fish was fresh, the marinade was delicious and had fantastic heat. My wife’s burger was perfect as well. All in all, it was a terrific experience and we’ll definitely be endeavoring to return.
