    I don't know what was wrong with me, but I didn't take any photo of this really cool place! I did however find a short video though. It's definitely a gem in Hawaii. I loved all the vintage displays and the concept of this place. When you first enter it seems like a cozy vintage war museum, but upstairs tucked away is a speakeasy with a secret passcode (it's 3 knocks, a pause and then another knock). The speakeasy also has an outdoor patio where you can sit outside. I didn't have to get any beers since this place closes by 8pm, but I did see their brewery in the back and found it neat that they brew their own beer. What really impressed me about this place was how everything was decorated that made it feel like I was in a different era. The bartenders themselves are also in uniform. I'll definitely be back here to try their beers! Also just as an fyi parking is rough since there's basically no spots right in front of the bar, so be prepared to walk a few blocks.

    When you visit here, you're getting more than a beer, you're getting a complete experience. This brewpub and speakeasy are fabulous - great beer and Glen's cocktails are the stuff legends are made of. He makes some of the best Mai Tais in town! Janet and Glen are such welcoming hosts and the bar has to be one of the friendliest we have visited. Our visit here was definitely a Honolulu highlight! And if you're in town on a Thursday, don't miss Battleship Bingo, it's so much fun!

    This is absolutely the best brewery we have visited and we've been to many. The military decor is outstanding there are even telephones that will give you a bit of a history lesson.

    Glen is doing a great thing here, preserving the memories of our greatest generation, I love this place and the people here. Janet and Glen seem like old friends and are great hosts. My wife says Glen makes a great Mai Tai, I had some excellent craft beer. The Mexican food truck was outside the night we were there it was very good. Get away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and visit this great place.

    More than a brewery, a Brewseum. A WW II Brewseum to be precise. Not a huge beer selection, but more local beer than you could need for a few hours of R&R. Affiliated with the Wiki Waki Woo Speakeasy and Home of the Brave museum. Don’t let the location or difficulties finding parking keep you from this place. You won’t be disappointed.

    *Most fun I had on Oahu* Speak easy is cool and very friendly staff. Selection of pours is limited but alcohol options are unique and themed Navy & WWII style. Bring your buddies and check out Glen and Janet.

    Everyone should check this out while you're here. This brewery has more character and charm than any other that I've ever been to.

    Really awesome museum with a fun speakeasy upstairs. Janet hosts downstairs while Glen works the bar. They are both incredibly friendly and remember us by name every time we visit. The drinks are unique and delicious, the museum is fun and interactive. We love visiting the speakeasy, ordering tacos at the truck outside, then stopping at the brewseum next door. Absolutely must visit for all military stationed here and all those visiting. Great place to bring visiting family, and a great place to bring your friends for a night out. We'll be back for more!

😐 We checked in here for a late lunch and it was a bit of a disappointment. The food was better than it looked like and the beer was alright as well. The place was almost empty and there were a lot of pigeons. I gave only 3 stars for the service because you order online and there's little interaction...
