Hilo

Hilo, the Big Island's largest city and gateway to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, has a laid-back bar scene to match its rainforest setting - BarFinder lists 23 venues, led by classic bars and sports bars with a couple of cocktail bars and a brewery rounding things out. Local spots like Ola Brew and Bay Front Coffee, Kava & Tea reflect a distinctly Hawaiian mix of brewing and kava culture, while Margarita Village keeps a more classic bar-and-grill feel. It's a scene that trades big nightlife energy for genuine local character.
