Just heard the owner died. Had no one to leave it to. Nihale was awesome. Going to miss that place!

Came here at 6pm and it's closed. Hours seem to be not accurate. Big Kahuna right next to it was open!

This place was super convenient right next to the Courtyard so we ducked in around 7:30pm. Ahi ahi fish tacos were cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. Unfortunately the only negative I have is that the waitress was visibly upset and was not keeping it to herself. Made us uncomfortable but the food certainly made up for it.

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.

Without question the best service I've had so far! Bartender Nahele (sorry I butchered the name) went above and beyond, and made our vacation feel like a home town local bar! Great menu, great drinks, margarita made from scratch for my spouse! Can't wait to come back here and see what smiles he can bring us next time!

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.

Do yourself a favor and wait the 30min - 1 hour for the Big Kauna Brewery next door. Service was good but food was disgusting.

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.

They are upstairs in the building they are in.. honestly should have someone down there pointing you in the right direction. When we did finally get upstairs there was no host. Which I get it.. covid so I'm sure they are short people. The bathrooms are locked so you have to ask someone for a key even though there isn't a sign telling you that. My frozen margarita was okay.. Definitely a lack of flavor for it being a speciality cocktail of theirs. They were out of crab cakes and calamari. Both of the things we went there for. We did however have a nice waitress and shared two sliders. They were good. Not somewhere we would go again though.

Food was pretty good, service was great! About 10 of us. Portions were average. View was spectacular. Fish and Chips were great, good batter.

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!!!!
