You could spend all day here and feel at home. I usually go to watch the games and it’s always a good conversation to have. Made a lot of new friends there in my short time going.

This tavern looks like a dive from the outside, but inside is so fun. Everyone is so nice, from workers to patrons. Awesome place.

Had an awesome time playing pool! Staff was super friendly!!! Loved that this place opened at 8 a.m. unlike many bars establishments :) Don't let the outside of this place fool u. Come inside, take a look, and stay for a few adult beverages! You won't be disappointed. Only draw back for me was they didn't have any beers on draft but they had plenty of other drinks to choose from. Will definitely be back soon AND often! If you found this review helpful please like and follow me! MAHALO ~

Excellent happy hour and such a cool bar, felt like being in a European pub on the inside and would never tell that from the outside - best selection of draft beers also

My fiancé and I went to this karaoke bar last night. The vibe was so great! There were people from many cultures there and they all were meshing like they were great friends. Such an aloha vibe. The bar tender was running his butt off for everyone as he was the only one there working and then he even managed to sit down and sing a song for us. He had an incredible voice. Great staff, music, and vibes. We will definitely have to come in again before heading back to the mainland.
