Oahu Breweries: Waikiki, Honolulu & Kakaako

For an Oahu brewery visit, start with the neighborhood where you are staying or meeting friends: Waikiki, Kakaako in Honolulu, or Hawaii Kai. Compare the location map below before choosing a taproom, and check the brewery's own site for today's food, hours and reservation policy.

Planning a visit

Staying in Waikiki? Compare nearby venues with Kakaako before planning a brewery afternoon. A restaurant pouring a brewery's beer is not necessarily its production brewery. Book a specific tour only after confirming the correct location and current availability.

For local residents

For an after-work meetup, check the exact location's happy-hour menu, parking arrangements and kitchen closing time. Waikiki Brewing says happy hours vary by location and that its restaurants use walk-in service rather than reservations.

Common questions

Where should I look for breweries near Waikiki?

Start with Waikiki venues and expand your search to Kakaako in Honolulu. Use the map to compare the actual trip from your accommodation; a Honolulu address does not mean a brewery is within walking distance of your hotel.

Do Oahu breweries take reservations?

Policies differ by brewery and location. Waikiki Brewing's official FAQ says it operates on a walk-in basis, including for groups. Check another brewery's own booking page rather than applying that policy island-wide.

Can I visit with children or a dog?

Confirm the policy with the individual venue, including whether children or dogs are allowed in your intended seating area. A family-friendly restaurant, a pet-friendly patio and a production brewery tour can each have different rules.
