Kailua Kona
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Kailua Kona, Hawaii
Kailua-Kona, the Big Island town famous as the finish line for the Ironman World Championship and the heart of Kona coffee country, has a bar scene split almost evenly between classic bars and sports bars - BarFinder lists 49 venues here, with a handful of breweries and nightclubs rounding things out. Local spots like Sam's Hideaway and Kanaka Kava cover the local side, while Aloha Vibes and The Brewery Block bring more of a modern scene. It's a resort-town bar scene shaped by both a big tourist crowd and the island's own coffee-growing culture.
