14 Best Craft Breweries near Kaneohe

“Second favorite brewery in Hawaii but only by a slim margin, it was so close between Inu Island and Hana Koa. This place is well worth the gorgeous drive, and the scenery near the bar is honestly breathtaking. Those mountains wrapping around the bay are truly such a blessing on this world.“

“Visited Kona Brewing Company for a beer tasting using my Go City Oahu pass. One pass included a flight of four small beers, supposedly valued at $15 — maybe! I asked the waitress to surprise me with the selection, which was a fun touch. I ordered the fresh fish sandwich, and my friend got a salad. The fish sandwich was more like a fish burger, but it was tasty either way. Just a heads-up: adding a side will cost you an extra $2 to $4.“

“I loved the atmosphere and that they also have kombucha available. The charcuterie board was delicious, I definitely recommend getting all 3 options on the board.“

“The beer lab is amazing. Their beer is great and the wings are some of the best I've had. Idk how they get it so crispy on the outside while being so moist on the inside. Falls right off the bone. And their sauce is supreme. Reasonably priced (for Honolulu) as well. 10/10“

“Just a fun place with fun people“

“Beers always great but at special 25% off growlers … priceless!“

“If I could give this more than 5 stars, I’d personally petition Google for it. Nakamura's Marlin Toast at Hana Koa isn’t just food — it’s a full-blown spiritual awakening on toast! The smoky marlin practically melts on your tongue like it’s been training its whole life for this exact moment. Every bite had me questioning all my past life choices that didn’t involve ordering two more of these.

The texture? Immaculate. The flavor? A love letter written by Poseidon himself. Pair it with one of their beers and you’ll ascend straight into flavor nirvana. If Hana Koa ever takes this off the menu, I’ll chain myself to the bar in protest. The Lil Viking in the kitchen has perfected this dish!

In short: it’s not “just” marlin toast — it’s the reason I believe in second chances and happiness. THIS TOAST IS A TRUE WINNER on the menu!“

“Hidden gem in the Kakaʻako area. The draft beer was so cold and refreshing—no doubt everyone would love it. I tried the wheat beer and the Bondi Blonde, and both were perfect for a hot day in Hawaii.

Happy hour starts from 2pm, so we ordered some small dishes. The crispy pork was delicious and well cooked. They have both outdoor seating and indoor seating, so if you want air conditioning on a hot day, there’s a great option to cool down.

There’s also a small merchandise shop inside, which is worth checking out. Great atmosphere and very chilled. We went on a weekday during the daytime, so it wasn’t too crowded—very relaxed and easygoing.“

“Happen to visit on Trivia Night. The atmosphere was lively and everyone was having a good time. The food was adequate, not the best, but good for what it was. The drinks were the true stars. Their sours were absolutely delicious and we'd definitely go back for those alone.“

“Excellent way to sample local craft brews, accompanied by great food!“

“Chef Wong blew our minds with the various shrimp dishes, eggplant bruschetta, smoked marlin toast, beet salad, etc. Our bartender Jose mixed some delicious drinks and played upbeat rhythms which all combined to an elevated experience. Mahalo to all“

“Great little speakeasy above Aloha Beer!“

“Came here for a Business Meeting Food was great Drinks were as always delicious Music was a little too loud (we had to yell over it, but our table was close to the musicians on top of Bose speakers amplifying the sound) but the music was absolutely amazing !!!“
