Paradise Ciders

Disclaimer: Paradise Ciders and HI Sliders share the same space. I will be writing a separate review for HI Sliders because... let's be honest... they both deserve an equal round of applause.I've lived in Mililani for almost 2 decades and I recently visited this establishment a month ago. I know, I know... but hey... I've got a handful of kids and they're... particular to say the least. However, I've brought my girls with me first and they loved the vibe. They really liked the bar made fruit punch! I tried their staff picked flight of ciders and hard tea (because I LOVE tea.) Every single one I tried was very tasty! I had the strawberry, lilikoi, and lihing hard tea (it can be viewed in the pic). My least favorite was the lihing. It didn't mix as well as I thought it would. I also had the Lei'd back Lilikoi , Killah Dragon, and Hang Loose Juice ciders (seen in the picture) and those were all VERY good! I really liked the Killah Dragon. All of the staff were extremely attentive and helpful. They explained their menu choices thoroughly without making me feel like I was being an inconvenience. If you dine here during the day, it's super bright! Filled with natural lighting. If you dine at night, it's a little dark with ceiling lighting inside and string lighting outside. Overall, the vibe is amazing! Super chill, family AND pet friendly (outside seating.)Seating is on your own, so find a comfy spot and settle in to have a great time!!!

Great, friendly service. Everyone enjoyed their cider flights, and they also carry 0% Heineken.We got various dishes from the attached food truck, and we all wondered why there weren't more good reviews for them too.

Wish they opened a location in Ewa Beach but totally worth driving up to cool Mililani for this experience. There is also an outdoor area in the front you can bring your dog. We sat at the bar as we were short on time. Needed to refill our 64oz growler to prepare for Superbowl. But alas we had to taste test the ciders and seltzers to choose a refill. I had their ciders in Kalihi many years ago. Hard ciders are so easy to drink but they have 5-6% alcohol. I imagine many women like the fruity flavors. They also carry other brands. But we like sampling their proprietary flavors. Not sure what the difference between a ciders and seltzer is. We ended up with Pineapple Cider. They have food from a food truck in the back of the bar, a separate business called HI Sliders. Lemme tell you their birra tacos are AMAZING. We are coming back every Wednesday night with the dog as growler refill is only $10 which is super cheap or half off normal. Our growler has approximately 5 pints in it for $20 regular so that's cheap good beer.Suggestions: provide dog water bowls with iced water! Support your local microbrewery!

I've heard really good thing about Paradise Ciders so I wanted to visit. My friend's retirement party was scheduled at Paradise Ciders so it was a good opportunity to sample the goods. The ciders were like beer without the bitterness and ,depending what you selected, pretty fruity in a good way. They also have a good selection of beers ad seems to attract a lot of local regulars. The food comes from a food truck towards the rear of the establishment that seems to be run as a separate establishment. It serves Mexican themed food that is pretty tasty. I will return soon to sample more of the food because I love Mexican cuisine. Prices are good, especially happy hour, and it is a good neighborhood hang out. Loved the empanadas but the nacho fries weren't my thing.

First time to this spot. We had an amazing lunch. Enjoyed food from the truck and drinks from the bar. Started off with two different flights. Then had some mixed drinks. Kennedy was our server. She was AWESOME! Also played a few games of Foosball. Would definitely come back again ...

Friendly family oriented open seating service. I loved it. A big choice of drinks and a food truck in the back that was just amazing flatbread and shrimp tacos. I'll definitely go there again.

(Drank 05/20/23 SA @ 5:00pm and one other time): Nothing like drinking ciders on the islands of paradise!Now that our bellies were full of BBQ from This Lil Piggy, we decided to make a stop at Paradise Ciders which was "somewhat" on our way home. Honestly, I wanted to check out their cidery since I've enjoyed their ciders at breweries around town, and we were kind of in the vicinity. Ciders seemed to have slowed their pace in the alcohol industry of late while I felt hard seltzers have zoomed past them. However, I always had a palette for the fruitier-tasting things in life, so I suspected this would be a slam dunk. Would I be in paradise as I imbibed on their creative tropical ciders!?PURCHASEGuava Lava Cider 5.2% ABV 16floz Draft ($7.00): Guava orange color, guava tropical aroma, light body, guava flavor, clean finish, and clean guava sweet aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=15ifZhU-sNXbjMDzmP3PjwMango Daze Cider 6.0% ABV 16floz Draft ($7.00): Mango orange color, apple mango tropical aroma, light body, mango flavor, clean finish, and clean mango sweet aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=bg_bDN1RQILXUJqmZHp91wHang Loose Juice Cider 5.0% ABV 13floz Draft ($6.00): Guava orange color, guava orange passion fruit tropical aroma, light body, guava orange passion fruit flavor, clean effervescent finish, and crisp guava orange passion fruit sweet aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=nXkex7KpRXwsFVv6nPK9bwShortboard Cider 5.0% ABV 16floz Draft ($7.00): Bright amber color, apple fruity tropical aroma, light body, apple flavor, crisp finish, and clean apple tropical aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=kRStWsOZcHUV08lKtcgfkwPineapple Vanilla Cream Cider 6.6% ABV 16floz Draft ($7.00): Hazy yellow color, fruity pineapple tropical aroma, light body, pineapple vanilla flavor, mouthcoating finish, and pineapple tart vanilla aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=tTGTEchet2eBNRW7ctLB6QLogo T-Shirt ($20.00): I thought the logo was cool, so I decided to buy one! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=V61hb2loHC_HvqBG2H0sbwSticker ($3.00): I loved to place these on the walls of other breweries on my travels or stick them on my water bottle. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=vF9t5q_sk-QDEjumtRRL4wSERVICEWe easily made our way to a spot at the bar where we were greeted by a friendly young woman who gave us menus (we declined the food one). After much rumination, we finally placed our first order. The drinks came immediately as they did for any future orders. We were checked on occasionally and offered water which was really nice. Otherwise, everything was easy, efficient, and exemplary - mahalo!PARKING (FREE)Located within the Mililani Shopping Center, they shared a large private parking lot with many other businesses such as 24 Hour Fitness, Foodland, ROSS Dress For Less, and more - 'nuff said!ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCEThis was a large floorplan with a nearly equally-large bar https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=wpZq3eo3a8VUEfFO63LRPw at the center of it all while a plethora of chairs/tables surrounded it https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=0ZTPeqeH1kf5p2SpVuL0KA all the way to the walls.

Plenty of natural lighting came in through the large front opening while many electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were a ton of TVs throughout while on this particular night live music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=xn5QNzpwzvBV2p--3f47CAATTIRETotally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops.OVERALLIt was a pleasurable time at Paradise Ciders and I would definitely visit again... maybe to even try their food. They had a very good selection of libations (e.g. beer, ciders, cocktails, wine), the drinks were lovely, prices were comparable, and the service was straightforward. This was also a great place to watch games. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $60.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

This was a cool spot. There's an outdoor patio and indoor seating that include high tops, tables and seats around the bar. On the other side of the restaurant, there's a spot for a food truck. My husband and I ordered almost everything on the menu. The couple we were with ordered other drinks we didn't order. Our favorite was the mango and li hing mui. The li hing mui adds a saltiness and tartness that I think is way better than tajin. And to pair it with mango was perfect. I was most disappointed by the Ube Blue Bae. I felt like it tasted mostly of potato with no other notes of the blueberry. All in all, a good hangout spot. I would definitely go again!

We decided to eat here for dinner one night and just so happened there was a UFC fight so it was perfect!Although we were the only ones with kids this night, the staff were super friendly and accommodating for our family. Our server was so patient with all our questions and had great recommendations! Loved their ciders and they have a sampler so you can try a bunch and make your own set. I liked the ciders more than the seltzer. Definitely would come back for the POG cider!We also enjoyed our food for HI Sliders. Super easy to order online via Toast! I also liked how they have inside and outside seating!

The drink selection had something for everyone, but make sure you start with a flight to sample everything. Here's what we got on our flights:Jasmine Hard TeaKilla DragonShortboard CiderLilikoi Hard TeaPineapple Hard TeaTropic Storm Hard Tea.As you can see, this was the first time we saw they had hard teas, so we had to try as many as we could lol. Jasmine was the winner though. They aren't full of sugar like the name brand stuff and are super refreshing.
