Village Bottle Shop & Tasting Room

Great wifi and great drinks, can't beat it!The first time I stumbled in here was when I was in SALT waiting for my husband and this place was open; Starbucks was closed so I needed to wait somewhere. I'm not a beer drinker and I told that to the bartender and they didn't mind at all. After some conversing, we found out maybe I'm just drinking the wrong beer. I told them the only one I've ever enjoyed was Asahi and they suggested that they have something very similar. They walked over to the fridge, pulled it out, and because of their sincerity and conversation I bought it knowing that if I didn't like it, my husband would. Turns out, I really like it! That experience really set the precedent for this place for me.I love spending time in SALT Kaka'ako, but I don't come here as often as I like since you do have to pay for parking and I tend to stick around for a few hours to get some work done. This means I also need some good wifi to be productive. This place is a great stop!On the random days I come here I love seeing the pau hanas happening or the corporate get-togethers and even just people there to enjoy a good drink in a good atmosphere with good company. Guess you could say it's perfect for people watching. I genuinely hope this spot sticks around and never leaves, it's perfect for SALT and different. Also have to mention that the few times I've stopped by here you can taste their beers on tap as well which is pretty convenient for me. Saves me the guess work and maybe I'll find something I like.There's a bar for everyone in SALT and maybe Village Bottle Shop is for you!

Hoping management sees this. Village has been a favorite spot for us since it opened in 2016, and we've made so many great memories here over the years. We've seen many chapters of incredible staff come through Village, and they're a big reason we've grown so fond of this place.The staff has always been friendly and amazing, but the recent change to no longer allow dogs inside has been a real disappointment.Normally, outdoor seating wouldn't be an issue, but the heat reflecting off the windows during the day makes it unbearable for our flat-faced dog. On a recent evening visit, we thought it would be okay, but a sudden downpour left us and our dog soaked since dogs still aren't allowed inside--even temporarily. The staff was apologetic and tried to help, but their hands were tied by management.There's no clear signage about this policy, and the current setup isn't practical for pets in extreme heat or bad weather. We really appreciate the staff's kindness, but until management figures this out, we'll be heading to other dog-friendly spots nearby. It's a shame, because this place used to feel like home.

I finally got to try village bottle shop and tasting room! It was a rainy day but i was lucky enough to find street parking :)VBSTR is located right in the center of SALT, surrounded by other eateries, Starbucks, orange theory, etc. you order at the front and you pick up at the front. I like their easy payment system too. The space is nice, bright, and clean. Their ambiance is casual and mid loud. They have live music in the corner of the room. There are options to Pop open a bottle or a can of beer/wine from their fridges with a 'cork' fee of $3. My friend and i stuck with their drafted/handcrafted beers. Not gonna lie, 1 flight of 4 options did me quite well. Im coming back for sure so that i can try EVERYTHING on the menu :p Bathrooms are available & make sure to tag them on your social media!

This place never disappoints when you want a variety of craft beer to select from. You can buy on tap or they have refrigerated section to purchase canned or bottled craft from a good selection of breweries, but I believe you'll have to pay a cork fee if you enjoy the refrigerated craft in the restaurant.Ok, my most fave and primarily the reason I go when the craving hits is the food. They have a very small selection and smaller sized serving BUT, it's hella delish. Prices aren't bad at all. I love the half moon pot pie and Pão de queijo, mmm. So satisfying. Service is always friendly and fast, and a very chill spot to hang out. Parking validation available.

Came for kaka'akoo night market, nice place to stop for a bite and some beer. Due to the busy nature of the event couldn't do flights but all good. Good variety of beers on tap and even bettering cans, and meat pies were pretty good. Friendly service and nice ambience. Give them a try and judge for yourself.

What a find for tourists and locals alike. It's a bar a tasting room and a wall of great beers. They have 18 beers on tap @$8. They have hundreds of single cab beers under $8 some $4... plus corkage fee if you want to enjoy on premise with trendy music great service smooth atmosphere outdoor seating and yeah a bar.

Had a great time here. You can pay at the counter after you order then grab a seat. There's indoor and outdoor seating. The shop has coolers of beer etc that you can buy and drink there but there will be a corkage fee. Parking is located in the building, Salt Parking Garage.

Come here multiple times for beers on draft to hang out or pickup to take home. Service has usually been friendly. Very casual ambiance with down to earth people here. Today I tried the Ube Pale Ale and Coffee Ale - both were very good! I like how affordable this place is compared to its competitors. They also small snacks like hand pies, pretzels, etc that are reasonable to soak up your alcohol. I recommend the Cornish beef and Cheddar steak hand pie. The chicken pot pie was so bland though, pretzels were ok. Validation available and plenty of parking inside SALT.

Located in SALT at our Kaka'ako, Village Bottle Shop is my favorite place to pick up beers. They have a lot of selections, including beers from Hana Koa Brewery (my go-to) as well as other local breweries. I want to shout out Leilani! She was super helpful when I asked her about recommendations for myself and beers for me to gift to my dad. My ask was for not-too-hoppy hazy IPAs for me and light ales or dark stouts for my dad. Lots of good recommendations and she was super knowledgeable. She also let me sample one of the hazy IPAs that I was going to buy since it was on tap (knowing that I am kinda picky about my hazy beers). Love that they're open 7 days a week. You also can pre-order beers online for pick up in-store if you are looking for something in particular. Thanks Leilani and Village Beer for being the best place to pick up beer in the neighborhood.

Village has been our neighborhood watering hole for years and we love the team here! Shoutout to Casey, Tai, PJ, Alisson, Sean, Macie, & Chris who truly make this tasting room such a fun environment. They always have such a great selection of beers, wine and spirits. You can enjoy what they have on tap or pick out anything from their bottle shop. You can even bring food from other surrounding SALT restaurants to pair with your bevies. My favorite nights to come are the first and third Thursdays of every month when they have an amazing DJ spinning vinyl from 6pm-9pm.
