A Home away from Home

In December 2003, Kona Brewing Company opened its second restaurant location at Koko Marina Center in Hawaii Kai on Oahu. The opening occurred five years after the company opened its Kailua-Kona brewpub. Kona Brewing Company has been successfully producing handcrafted ales and lagers since 1995.

The approximately 7,000-square-foot restaurant is set on the docks of Koko Marina. It offers seating for 275 patrons and features a state-of-the-art beer delivery system with 24 taps. The restaurant is adorned with ohia posts, copper-mica light fixtures featuring Kona Brewing Company's various beer logos, colored concrete, koa wood furnishing and the unique use of brewing equipment as functional decor - an old brew kettle and a retired brewery mash tun have been recycled as exterior signage and to form the exhaust hood for the pizza ovens located in the open air kitchen. Full-panel windows are retractable to provide an airy atmosphere throughout the restaurant. Ample outdoor seating with unparalleled views of Koko Marina and the lush green mountains that form Hawaii Kai's backdrop also is available.

The menu features hand-tossed gourmet pizzas, innovative pupus and sandwiches, salads and desserts made with fresh local ingredients. The brewpub carries all of Kona Brewing Company's ales and lagers, including several specialty beers and pub exclusives such as Black Sand Porter, Castaway IPA, Da Grind Buzz Kona Coffee Stout, Hula Hefeweizen and Old Blowhole Barley Wine.

Koko Marina Center is located in East Oahu on the corner of Kalanianaole Highway and Lunalilo Home Road. It is right on the way to Hanauma Bay. Hours are Monday to Saturday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday brunch from 9:00am to 2:00pm with the regular menu starting at 11:00am.
