Kona Brewing

Kona Brewing at Gate E6 is an absolute gem for travelers looking to kick off (or cap off) their time in Hawaii with a taste of the islands! I stumbled upon this spot during a layover, and it turned out to be the highlight of my airport experience.First off--the beer! Kona Brewing's craft beers are legendary, and having a fresh, cold Big Wave or Longboard Lager while waiting for a flight? Priceless. The selection is fantastic, and they serve everything perfectly chilled. It's like a mini tropical getaway right in the terminal.The food? Equally impressive. They offer hot grab-n-go dishes, including the iconic Spam Musubi, which was a delightful and flavorful bite of Hawaii. It's freshly made, warm, and hits all the right notes. Who knew airport food could be so comforting and authentic? They also have other island-inspired dishes that are perfect for a quick, satisfying meal.The vibe here is relaxed and friendly, with service that genuinely embodies the aloha spirit. The staff was welcoming and efficient, making the whole experience feel like a mini-vacation. Whether you're looking to unwind before a flight or savor one last taste of Hawaii, this spot has you covered.Don't miss Kona Brewing if you're passing through Gate E6. Great beer, delicious food, and a little slice of paradise at 30,000 feet. Highly recommend!

Four of us stopped in for lunch. It was the first time we've been there. Everything on Oahu is open air and Kona brewing Company is no exception, the ambience was lovely. We sat out overlooking the water. They had a wide variety of Kona beers. The food was delicious. Our friend had the jalapeño popper pizza. It was delicious. The wife and I split the fish tacos. they were also very good and our other friend had the Aji tuna salad. It was huge. The service was top-notch however, we did have to wait for about 15 minutes for a table, but it was well worth it, if we're ever in Oahu again will definitely go back.

Probably the best bartender ever he was so kind . Fast and efficient. We had a fabulous time talking to him while having our drink. He greet other guest so kind and welcoming we stay on Gate A2 super beneficial to us

While waiting for our flight back home we stopped by to grab a drink and this was a good location. We ordered a local beer. Service was good

Great place to eat and hang out at the harbor. Their new seltzer is pretty tasty on blood orange. The busing service is excellent too! The guy with the long beard is epic. Definitely gives off good vibes.

Out of fish and chicken....even though "fresh catch" is advertised on the reader board when you walk in. What restaurant runs out of two main dinner items? Other food we had was ok, not great.

I ordered all the Back Yard Batch, which are single batch beers.  I specifically ordered these because Kona Brewing has a great commercial presence all over the US and these are some I have never had, nor are they available outside of Kona. THE BEER: SLAM Dunkelweizen 4.7% ABV... OMG... so crushable. This is an all day easy drinking beer. Banana, check, clove, check, lite lemon, check, delicious, check, check. Steam Vent Lager 5.7% ABV... this is an easy drinking Lager, slightly hoppy Dad Joke IPA 6.3% ABV... a little grapefruity, West coast kinda, but there is some sweetness Lil Bae Bae IPA 5.3% ABV... Lil Bae Bae has a bite.  Mellows out after the first sip. Bay Runner Imperial IPA 10.4% ABV... fruity, slightly hoppy, but not overpowering Lea, our bar keep was awesome! There is food here, fresh baked pizza and sandwiches. There are geckos on the bar, on the floor and all through the brewery.  The staff I was told, call themselves geckos. If you like good craft beer, this is a great place to visit while in Kona.

Location: Koko Marina, near 24 hour fitness and Greek Marina.Food: variety of pupus to choose from. Ambiance: Cool Koko Marina vibe. We sat at our favorite location on the lanai overlooking the Marina. Nice and relaxing. Service: Friendly and efficient. Drink and food were ordered and served in a timely manner during busy Sunset hour.

Spectacular atmosphere, excellent service and the food was great with very reasonable prices considering the location ! Absolutely would recommend checking this place out. Lots of fun.

I have been a long standing customer of Kona Brewing Company, the changes that the new Vp and President have implemented are idiotic and could possibly lead to Kona Brewing closing its doors due to mismanagement and loss of clientele. Kona Brew has over the years been neglecting the local community, which is the BACKBONE of any company. Now Kona Brew is removing beers from the menu and charging more for food than almost everywhere in Kailua Kona (they are trying to charge luxury hotel prices at a pub). On top of that Upper management is so disconnected from their workers that they implement policies that end up hurting the servers, such as making the inside seating reserved for the Host, and removing popular beers such as coco brown and the hula Hefeweizen to name just a few. I do not want Kona Brew to close, but at the rate it is going it will be inevitable. Change is hard but made much harder with incompetent upper management. DO BETTER WHILE ITS STILL POSSIBLE!!!
