Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- BigihiguyDallas, TX19 contributionsThis is a fun and friendly place to have happy hour while you dangle your toes in the sand and watch for the Green Flash at sunset! They do offer a very limited happy hour special drink and pupu menu which stretches your vacation entertainment dollar.
The bright shining SuperStars of On The Rocks?
The young server, Nick made us feel like family and was very attentive, polite and professional.
And Tricia and Carina are the hostesses with the lovely, sharing open hearts!
We thoroughly enjoyed 3.5 hours of drinks, pupus and comaraderie and we were sad to depart, but we will be back again before we leave the island.Written 22 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- a smithJackson Hole, WY15 contributionsGood place to get out of the rain, current movies, and you can dine-in!

- Sams B5 contributionsI’ve been to the bar three time. Sit at the bar. Everyone seems very friendly. I was a visitor and it appears that all the others know each other. Lots of joking and having fun. Appears to be pet friendly place. Saw dogs and birds in the bar. Nice place to get out of the sun, visit, have a cold beer. They have WiFi.Written 1 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LuvY0gaDallas, TX215 contributionsWe wanted an easy bar to watch a football game at and have a drink before heading to the airport. My husband chose this place. At first, I was hesitant on going inside thinking all heads would turn wondering why these tourists are walking into this local dive bar. Well, it was the opposite. Super friendly people at the bar and behind the bar. We even met the owner and had a nice chat with him too. The bartender made me an excellent margarita that wasn't too sweet. We will definitely stop in the next time we're in Kona or on our way to the airport.Written 18 January 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- wendyc13Wentzville, MO154 contributionswe had our first drink and meal here after checking in to Mauna Lani. Drinks were good and dinner was just ok. It was super quite and not busy when we were there but it looks like when in season there is live music.Written 27 May 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Debbi BFort Myers Beach, FL13 contributionsI thought Pahoa was a sweet, quaint town. We visited The Big Island to see if that was where we wanted to move. Well, the answer is YES! We are in the process now. So laid back, like living back in the 70s. We loved Pahoa! The little Market was wonderful. Had the best sub I have ever had. Can't wait to get there!Written 13 December 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- 無名Japan8,143 contributionsWhere do I? It was a few weeks ago when I was here, so I guess it left a lasting impression. I don't usually write about anything this long after it happened. Yea, I feel I needed to write a few words about me being here. So Pahoa is kind of a hippy town I guess - I don't know what else to call it or if I should call it anything. I visited the Big Island for three days. I flew into Hilo, and my AirBnB was halfway between there and here. I came to Pahoa you know trying, and it worked out pretty much - I mean like quality issues. People on the street laidback and friendly enough I guess. I went into this place and talked with a bunch of people. Bartender pretty awesome guy in dreads and explained all about kava while he was making it. Then a kava ritual ceremony thing because it was my first time. Bartender knew what he was doing. The kava really didn't taste like anything, but I'm pretty sure it did something like what they say it's supposed to do. I started talking with this other guy who I think said he was roommates with the bartender - big guy like I think 60. He was alright and said some things I still remember and kind of think about. So I guess I'm writing this review now and wanting you to know I liked being here and felt like I belong here even though I don't look like I do.Written 2 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lee MIsland of Hawaii, HI8 contributionsWent to Karmas Sportsbar the other week, not for drinks and dancing... But for Japanese Shabu Shabu. So if your expecting a review on the Nightclub... Sorry.
Shabu Shabu is a japanese soup type dish consisting of a selection of beef, fish, or pork that you throw together and cook at your table. You have a choice of 3 types of broths and there are additional side ingredients that you can add. This is the first time I tried this dish and I must say it was good. Service was friendly, fast and the price was reasonable... If you are going there remember this is a sports bar and nightclub first, Shabu Shabu is served only on selected nights.Written 2 August 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is really nothing in this bar that would make you feel like you were in Hawaii. Has a dive bar feel, but it is very clean. It is in a small shopping mall on a road with a speed limit of 25 because the street has 2 local schools on the same drag. There is only one pool table and a dart board.
Overall, if you just want to grab a drink and unwind after work, this is your place. BTW, no dress code. Yeah baby!Written 21 April 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is a bar-type luncheon menu and a dinner menu starting in the evening. Service is mostly Hawaiian-prompt, so us folks from the mainland may find it a tad less attentive as locals do not have the habit of constantly watching your table. Servers transplanted from the mainland tend to be more professional. Expect a variety of salads, sandwiches as found in local cafes. For something light, we recommend the shrimp summer roll with sweet chili dipping sauce. Although on one occasion we found almost no shrimp, but whatever as we are on vacation! Enjoy your speciality cocktail and view the scene.Written 20 August 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ThomasABorawskiElgin, SC29 contributionsI had ordered a slider and a hamburger at the Lagoon Grill. The worst hamburger I ever tasted coming from the Hilton a hamburger frozen patty? It wasn't fresh meat? I could not believe that the Hilton had frozen hamburger patties? I ate it because I was hungry. I gave my dog the slider and she wouldn't eat it? I guess that's how bad it was.Written 20 March 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jojo P7 contributionsAngry bartender who yells at there customers and says and makes comments like“ I don’t want to lose my license put your mask on, calm down I know what I’m doing I’m the owner and has been doing this for 15 years ... it’s been like that ever since the bar has opened -when someone asked nicely about the Christmas stockings hanging around the bar. His got no empathy, professionalism and appreciation.Written 12 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
