KahunaOS Bar & Grill

Hello, my name is Bennie.
With 20 years of experience in the bar industry, I have concerns regarding certain incidents I have witnessed. I previously attempted to address these issues via phone call, but unfortunately, no one answered despite the presence of approximately seven people inside the bar. The bartender from earlier that evening was engaged in playing pool, and she suggested I message Ted, Sherri, or Kahunas on Facebook.
During my previous visit, I observed that your bartender Brandi, seemed inattentive when one of the old DJs arrived. She began yelling at her without provocation, creating an uncomfortable and unprofessional atmosphere. The old DJ rightly pointed out that Brandi was at fault to be talking to in tone that in a tone in front of everyone and told her to calm down and she left. I also witnessed Brandi bartending while intoxicated and making drinks, as well as her unprofessional treatment of a customer who was being ejected. Jay.. also while intoxicated talking mess in front of customers, about him. Furthermore, on the same evening, your new DJ was also intoxicated and passed out, requiring assistance to leave the premises.
Additionally, I have noticed that staff members frequently gather behind the bar and let others behind the computers even if its there friends or new people, they tend to place drinks on the pool table and go in the unisex bathrooms and go outside to do drugs…The old DJ consistently reminds the bartender to inform the younger to fix it.. so they don't have the same results as she did or something bad happens.
I also recall an incident the other night where a patron was lying on the ground outside, and the old DJ instructed him to get up. There was also an individual, Chad, in the parking lot who appeared to be under the influence, and the old DJ questioned whether he was allowed to be there.
It seems that Marqui often covers for Brandi, and other bartenders assist when necessary but after drinking..which raises concerns.
Several industry colleagues and regular patrons have shared similar observations, suggesting that there may be underlying issues with the new employees and learning to keep it professional.. to pay attention to the patrons busy or not busy. There appears to be an increase in drug activity in and out and staying in cars and having parties outside.
While we all make mistakes, the unprofessional yelling and name-calling in front of customers was completely unacceptable..
I acknowledge that the old DJ has made significant improvements in her customer service skills, and I appreciate her continued support, even though she is no longer an employee. Although it is not her responsibility, she often provides valuable advice and assistance to the younger staff members.

I am proud of the bar and its new employees, and I hope this feedback will be helpful.

Hands down THE BEST WINGS in the world.

Kahuna's Bar & Grill in Ocean Springs is a hidden gem on the Coast! The atmosphere is laid-back and beachy, perfect for relaxing with friends or catching a game. The food is way better than your typical bar fare—fresh, flavorful, and served hot. I highly recommend the seafood basket and their signature burgers. The drinks are strong, the service is quick and friendly, and there’s often live music or events that make the night even better. Great vibe, great food, and a must-visit if you're in the area.

It's a nice spot to come hang out and chill

I don't mind paying a cover for a place that needs one. There wasnt enough people in there to even fill the bar. The place just looks run down inside not old but run down. Music wasn't it. Staff seemed fine.

Only went once so far, but the server was awesome, and everyone was friendly. Karaoke on the night I went was entertaining. I'm new to this area and I don't frequent bars often, but this could definitely be my local hangout.

Parking: More parking behind building, but a small parking lot. Not a whole lot of lighting in the parking lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to entry, so wheelchair shouldn't be a problem.

The bartenders are personal, and attentive, to include the layout and lighting in the bar is perfect for a fun filled night or you can fall back in a booth and just vibe with your friends. I enjoy the bar to say the least ?

$5 Cover on a Saturday night at 9:30 with about 10 people in the place. Call me cheap but- Naw can't do it. - So rating atmosphere 1. Maybe harsh but it was my experience. Unsure about anything else.

I didn’t feel like a dive bar warrants a $5.00 cover charge when there is only 10 customers.

This is a great Karaoke bar! Sarah is the best at playing music everyone to hear on the breaks. She creates a great vibe for singing too! Kahuna's is the spot for wings if you're in the OS or Biloxi area.
