Our restaurants are founded upon a passion for craft and we are dedicated to mastering the craft of food, drink, and merrymaking…with Aloha! Our menu features fresh island fish, hand tossed pizzas from our kiawe wood burning oven, and homemade pies made from scratch.

Thirty-six craft beers served at twenty-nine degrees are on tap, representing the coldest beer and best selection of microbrews on the island. Our culinary cocktails feature unique ingredients such as acai spirit, coconut water, and Kula lavender. Our passion for craft also extends to our diverse wine list, which emphasizes sustainability, drinkability and fun.

    Oh my gosh, GO HERE. The flavors were immaculate and those this jalapeno mashed potatoes were 🤌🏻. If you don’t get those, you are missing out. The mai tais are everything! Do yourself a favor and make a reservation.

    Our server was attentive and friendly. My pork bowl was delicious but the lobster in my husband's meal was dry and tough. He could not eat all of it.

    We had a great time at Monkeypod, Ko'olina for lunch. The live music, our server and the food was fantastic. We were celebrating a birthday, and our birthday girl was made to feel so special. It was such an enjoyable lunch that we can't wait to come back! Made us locals feel like we were on vacation!
