Waikiki Brewing Company

Waikiki Brewing Company is a craft brewery and pub at 1945 Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii. It sits on the main avenue toward the Ala Moana end of Waikiki, a short walk from the beach and many hotels, which makes it one of the more convenient places in the resort area to drink house-made beer. The crowd is a mix of tourists, hotel guests and locals, mostly adults, with families dining earlier in the evening. The atmosphere is casual and lively, with a pub-like feel, and the dress code is relaxed beachwear-friendly casual. Music is typically a background mix, and sporting events on screens can add to the noise, so the venue works better for groups than for quiet conversation. The drinks programme is built on house-brewed beers in a range of styles, including lighter island-friendly beers and hoppier options, served as pints and flights, alongside a limited cocktail and wine selection. Food is casual pub fare, such as burgers, sandwiches, appetisers and shareable plates. Pints typically cost around US$8 to US$10, and flights about US$13 to US$17, reflecting Waikiki prices. The pub generally opens daily from about 11:00 AM and continues into the evening, with closing times varying. There is no cover charge, and reservations are usually not required except for larger groups. Dinner hours and weekend evenings are the busiest, while mid-afternoons are quieter. Visitors can walk from most Waikiki hotels. Current hours and beer lists should be confirmed on the Waikiki Brewing website.
