Residents and visitors have frequented Huggo’s, a popular downtown Kailua-Kona venue, since it first opened atop a rocky seaside prominence in 1969. Following a series of renovation roll-outs that began last October, the attached bar with an equally good view is working to transform itself from a place to sit while you wait for your
Kohola Brewery didn’t waste any time opening for business on December 22, 2016, only a day after it got its liquor license. The brewery moved into the warehouse in Lahaina where Maui Brewing Co. got its start before transferring production to Kihei last year. Kohola Brewery is comprised of two husband and wife duos from Southern California—William

The people of Yelp have spoken. While we wait to see if this Oahu eatery continues to hold it down on the seafood front for 2016, Yelp users were left in awe by Ono Seafood his past year. The restaurant, located on Kapahulu just outside of Waikiki, has been delighting the community with what’s regarded
