Wish I had pictures but I had to rep this place we have dined in once and we have ordered out before! Mahalo Nui loa for the great experience!“

“My favorite place to go on a Wednesday night! Live music, food vendors, fun crowd! I've tried the local plate lunches, so Ono! The smoothies. I've spiked the smoothies. The bar and several of the vendors too. Everyone is super nice.“

“Super friendly staff and a very welcoming atmosphere. If you’re looking for a place to have a casual dinner, or just read a book at the bar, Kaleos has the best vibes. This has become my 2-3 times a week place to just exist around people as I housesit for my dad on the rural part of the island. Food is good, prices are right, and the bartenders are super friendly. Also if you’re a dessert person, definitely try the lilikoi cheesecake.“

“As close to a dive bar as you'll see around here, and that isn't an insult. When you walk in, you'll have the impression that this place has a lot of "regulars" because it seems like most people know each other. That being said, I never felt looked down upon or that people were giving me side-eye. Service was fine and people were nice.“
