Address & map

Waikiki Brewing Company is a brewpub at 1945 Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki, Honolulu, that serves its craft beer on draft and in 4-ounce samples. Honolulu Magazine reported in October 2024 that this pub had become Waikiki Brewing Company's main production facility.

The beer flight and its card

In my May 2022 photo, four small glasses sit in round cutouts on a long wooden paddle. The beers run from copper to pale gold to nearly black to light yellow. A paper flight card in front carries the Waikiki Brewing Company logo, and three of its handwritten lines read Aloha Spirit Blonde Ale, Black Strap Porter and Skinny Jeans IPA. A fourth line is cut off at the edge of the frame, and I can't tell which glass holds which beer.

Waikiki Brewing Company's website currently lists the Aloha Spirit Blonde Ale, the Skinny Jeans IPA and a Black Strap Molasses Porter (checked Nov 14, 2026). It describes the blonde ale as lightly bitter with a delicate hop aroma, the IPA as hop-forward with tropical notes, and the porter as roasty, with coffee flavors.

The pretzel and its two sauces

In my photo, the pretzel sits whole on a black speckled plate, its glossy brown crust dotted with coarse white grains that look like salt. Two small cups sit inside the twist: a white one with an orange, cheese-like sauce and a clear one with a yellow-brown sauce. Waikiki Brewing Company's undated website menu lists a Giant Pretzel served with house-made Jalapeño Mouth beer cheese and 808 Carolina BBQ at $17 (checked Nov 14, 2026). The sauces in my photo may differ from the current menu.

Before you go

  • Waikiki Brewing Company's website, which shows no update date, lists hours of 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, 10:30 a.m. to midnight on Friday and 9 a.m. to midnight on Saturday (checked Nov 14, 2026).
  • Waikiki Brewing Company's website lists a daily happy hour from 3 to 5 p.m. and from 9 p.m. until closing, and its menu tells guests to ask their server about limited release beers.
  • Honolulu Magazine said in October 2024 that Waikiki Brewing Company also took over an all-outdoor beer garden farther down Kalakaua Avenue and listed 2155 Kalakaua Avenue as a second address, so make sure you head to 1945 Kalakaua Avenue.
