For those exploring Hawaii Volcanoes on the Big Island, a fun and tasty brewery is Lanikai Brewing. The little brewery and restaurant is right outside of the national park in the aptly named town, Volcano, HI. The space is set-up with tables inside and out, but with little distinction between the two spaces. The room is fairly small and the whole space has a relaxed setting. Our little one was getting a bit hot, so we found a table “inside” to feel the fans a little.

We visited for lunch; however, there is a slightly different menu for dinner. For lunch we ordered a salad and pizza to split amongst us. A family member who was with us tried a couple different dishes as well. All of us really enjoyed our food and were impressed at just how large the portions were! We also ordered a flight to try their beers, and found them to be nice accompaniments to the meal. The entire visit was comfortable, relaxed, and fun. Our little one was also delighted as we walked out and one of the brewery employees smiled big and sent us off with the shaka sign! We definitely recommend a visit to the Lanikai Brewing for some good food and fun.

Side Note: There is a second location on Oahu, but we have not had the pleasure of visiting.
