About
For the ultimate beer experience and a website promising "no crap on tap," only one place will do: Humpy's Big Island Alehouse.
Humpy's is the sister restaurant of Humpy's Great Alaskan Alehouse, which opened in 1994 in Anchorage. With the success of the Alaskan pub, ownership set their sights on a warmer climate for the next location.
In 2010, they opened Humpy's Big Island Alehouse. Like its big sister, it is a casual, family-friendly pub with cold brews and savory fare. Toss in live music, and it became a popular hotspot for locals and vacationers.
Humpy's boasts over 36 hand-crafted beers on tap from Hawaii and beyond. Rest assured, they have a brew with your name on it! You'll discover IPAs, stouts, pilsners, and wheats; you get the idea! If you're daring, order a "Mystery Beer" and let fate decide.
Humpy's Big Island Alehouse always has something going on, whether it's Taco Tuesday Special or live music. Its central location makes it the ideal choice after a day at the Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary or soaking up the rays at Magic Sands Beach Park.
For a fun-filled time where beer, good times, and upscale pub food is on the docket, head to Humpy's Big Island Alehouse!
Vibe
When you arrive, the two-story restaurant will impress you. It is open and has expansive outdoor seating, with the upper level offering ocean views.
The interior has an open feel, with a vaulted wood ceiling sporting ceiling fans. Stained wainscot wraps around the lower portion of the walls, and artwork adorns the upper sections. Flat-screen TVs are around the room, so sports fans won't miss any action. At the center of the room is the bar, which hosts an array of beer taps.
The views from the upper deck are spellbinding. The waves roll against the shoreline, and the sky's azure hue blends with the sea's. Add the breeze, and it's ideal for unwinding after tackling the challenging Makahi St Trailhead.
While the nightlife may not be appropriate for children, daytime hours have a family-friendly vibe.
All of these factors make this eatery a Kona hotspot.
Humpy's Big Island Alehouse: Menu & Drinks
When you imagine pub food, you probably picture chicken tenders, soft pretzels, and blasé burgers. Rest assured, Humpy's takes pub fare to scrumptiously delicious heights.
The menu sparkles with options like stone-baked pizzas. A prime example is The Olympian with Ale-house pizza dough. It comes with house-made marinara sauce and Parmesan sausage, Maui onions, Kalamata olives, spinach feta, diced tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese.
Yes, they have burgers, but these beauties are massive, like the Paniolo Burger. It comes with mayo, lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, bourbon BBQ sauce, bacon, and a battered Maui onion ring. Cradling this deliciousness is a fresh brioche bun with fries, potato mac salad, steamed rice, fruit, a cup of soup, or a side salad.
Another favorite is their beer-battered wild Alaskan Halibut and Chips. This dish comes with homemade tartar sauce and fries. One bite, and you'll understand why it's a staple.
Since it opens early, you can grab a hearty breakfast before dashing off on your adventures. Try any of the mouth-watering Benedicts or the French omelet to energize you for a day on the ocean with Captain Zodiac.
