Bad Weather Bar

Dinner in Kaimuki, Honolulu, Hawaii...I went to Yoas on 4-1-23 because there was a special pop-up event happening outside. Inside, I saw the intriguing menu for Bad Weather Bar and decided to return one day...Located where Gazen Izakaya used to be, Yoas (black building with red wording) is across from Kaimuki High School. There is a free parking lot right in front. Look for the Buddha wall mural!There's a lot of merchandise at Yoas to keep you amused as you wait for your order from Bad Weather Bar. I liked the cute keychains, cups, pins, figurines, jewelry, etc. The variety of phone cases and other cell phone accessories are amazing.Donna and I ordered the new menu item: Smoked Smash Burger. It was a double hamburger patty sandwich with lots of smokey, cheesy goodness! Corey cut it in half for us so we could share it! Thank you! It was rich, messy, moist, and tasty!We sat at the counter seats. It was a bit warm inside. Next time, we should sit outside at the picnic tables in front of Aloha Shave Ice around the corner - same parking lot. We could plan better and have shave ice first (they close at 5pm) and have a burger afterwards (Bad Weather Bar closes at 6pm).

Bad Weather Bar is a part of Yoas. As you enter, Ocean Taste is on the right then sorbet is the next right. Straight ahead is the Bad Weather Bar menu. Which the menu will be changing perhaps by the week or so. They started selling their single and double cheeseburgers, called Delaware smash. Everything was prepared except for the buns. I got the single burger but I wasn't able to try it until a day later at home, since I bought chicken karaage plate from Ocean taste and decided to eat it first while it was still hot and crunchy.When I did get to the cheeseburger later, it was still full of flavor. Local beef was used to make the BWB style Ginger Garlic all beef Patty! The Patty was topped with grilled pickled onions sautéed in burger fat, American cheese, house sauce with Tasu chili oil between two toasted grilled bun! Mines was $8 with a soft drink. Try it before the menu change. Soon will offer different menu items like loco moco and steak to come. Corey, one of the partners, recommended the steak he plan to make in the future. Check them out on their Instagram page to see what's on the menu! In the future, they may have dine in but for now, it's only take out. As you wait for your order, It's nice to check out cell phone cases, cool air plants and terrariums which makes nice presents, aquascapes, and puppy therapy. I loved the cute and sweet Shiba dogs, Shio and Katsu! After a day of work, we were in need of Puppy Therapy and I think Shio & Katsu also enjoyed being pet and loved by us! The service was awesome and was helped by the same helpful and sweet lady from buying my cheeseburger, $15 cellphone case, pint of the strawberry lemon sorbet and chatting with the Corey. I wish them well at this new location!Check them out! They are located in the old Gazen Izakaya across Kaimuki High school on Kapiolani Blvd in a black painted building. Thanks for reading my review! =)

It's CLOSED. No burgers, no poke, a bar may open soon, few sorbet available next door.
