We had such fond memories of this place because the food matched the great beer. Not this time. Nobody in our party had what they considered a "great meal". Everything was just "okay". That said, we'll definitely be back based on multiple good visits on previous trips, We are hoping it was just an "off night" and not a new... More

I had the pizza which was excellent and tried two of the beers. They had a great menu and beer selection. Perfect for craft beer lovers. Also they had outdoor seating which was great. They had a few growler options which is perfect if you want to bring some beer back for your hotel room.

This is the place to be for craft beer lovers. Locals love it too. Food is average. Always crowded with a fun atmosphere.

We stopped in for lunch at the Kona Brewing Company and sat outside on their tropical patio and sampled their beers, most of which were excellent, especially Fire Rock. Our lunch was pizza and it was excellent, everything was fresh and innovative. Service was good. Overall a winner and recommended!!

My family ordered a pizza which was a great choice as it turned out. A very good crust and quite flavorful, it went great with a cold Heff. The problem was that we chose to eat outside in one of the most bug infested enviornments that i have ever had the misfortune in dining in

Went for the brewery tour, did the beer tasting and decided to stick around for a meal and listen to some live music. Very glad we did as the whole afternoon/early evening was fun. The pizza is awesome, the cold beer variety great and the live music was excellent.

We were a family with a small 10 year old girl and arrived at approximately 3 pm after a long 4 hour trip from Hawaii Volcanoes National park. It was a little bit hard to find but when we finally got there we were very impressed straight away. The place was rocking with customers even though it was way past... More

What a fun place! Interesting food, indoor or outdoor seating, and their beer brewing tour was amazing (their chilled brewing facilities are a GREAT place to beat the heat). After the 30 tour (which is FREE), you are treated to very generous samples of 4 or 5 different kinds of beer. You should probably have lunch there before the tour.... More

I have a soft spot for the Kona Brew Pub. It can get pretty crowded and service suffers a bit when they're slammed. Their pizza is good but a little pricey. Some of the food specials have been hit and miss in my book. If my review were based solely on their food, I would give them a 3. Their... More

The pizza and local brews are great. Be sure to try the sampler if you can't make up your mind. Can be crowded so go early and they do have a Happy Hour. It is a little hard to find so don't hesitate to ask someone. It is a working brewery located in a small industrial area of Kailua, consequently... More
