Dont know. Thanks to Covid-19, I got there at 9:30 only for it to close at 10pm. This is no fault of the venues. Pool room was clean, and they had a good live band playing rock tunes in another room. Id be interested in seeing what its like post pandemic. Will visit again.
Drinks are good. Staff is nice.Place could use some new paint.. And chairs. But for a relaxed night out. Its ok..
I had a really great time here. They serve food and drink
Went in on a Wednesday night and it was a pretty cool vibe. As a traveling musician getting the chance to meet new musicians and hear the talent. I was afforded the opportunity to play also and that made it all the more enjoyable. The bar area was pretty active Im not a drinker so I have no reviews on the drinks. However, it is a nice location to sit in and network.
Great stage. Would love to play here
Great venue for live music and good drinks.
Cool venue for an intimate concert. We saw Citizen Cope on Sunday December 15th. They had a good little cafe out front and two bars inside the concert hall. I was able to run a tab on my credit card because they have a $10 minimum charge per order. Bar prices were very cheap and the drinks were strong. The sound inside the hall was really good. There were only a few tables and chairs so only the early birds got those. With only 200 tickets sold, we all had an intimate evening with the artist.
Parking stalls are very narrow.. used to be a lot spacious but that downsized and turned some of the spaces into clubs.. which is good if you wanna have a night out with some friends..
This place is awesome you wanna play darts or pool this is your place to come! And also if you want live music. Or party check out the events ... and just enjoy
Really cool bar with plenty of space and things to do, cool area for small concerts too.Mostly writing this review because there’s a lady bartender that’s a real miserable witch. If you hate your job so much get a new one. Me asking what kinds of tequila you have when you only have 3 to list shouldn’t exasperate you.
Havent been here in years. It looks so different compared to my 20s. With the new layout you still get the pool tables, plus other activities such as a dart room, bar, mini food cafe, and hosting for special events (live music and acts). All in all they are catering to the public with multi-functional spaces. Its a nice place to chill and shoot some pool. Food and bar are limited but is good enough for pupus.
Great place to join Oahu Pool League play. Make friends, pick up new pool skills. Bar service is friendly. People watch football and basketball on their big screen TVs. Only downside is that their diner is inconsistently.open.They also have a great venue for parties and celebrations.
Did not enjoy paying $20 for pool for just a little over an hour or customer service. Did enjoy the live band that was playing next door.
Cool venue to hang w friends. Multiple rooms. Food. Pool tables. Cool photo ops
This is by far, the most unique venue on the island. They have 3 different event spaces that can accommodate concerts and private events of all types and still have a huge pool hall.The main room, Crossroads has the best sound system and is the best sounding room in Hawaii. You have to go to a upcoming concert to see for yourself.I hosted a private party there and the experience I had working with the staff was smooth and accommodating.The room is perfect for non-music events too like graduations, birthday parties and fundraisers. Highly recommend you check them out
If you love old school blues this is the spot. Tuesday is an open jam run by J.P. Smoke train. they are all levels of players and everyone gets a chance to sit in if you like or just listen. no cover and the drink prices are also good. pool tables and darts are also available.
Awesome Blues band plus, sitting in on drop-in comedy improv coaching. Awesome Tuesday night!
Friendly customer service, felt secure with parking security personnel. Great food. Try the toasted ham and cheese sandwiches!
Excellent tables! Good staff! Comfortable place to play!l
Quiet place to tuck away and enjoy darts or pool. Place can get kinda full in the evenings. There the two venues inside too that host some good entertainment. Bands, comedians. They also have a tasty kitchen and decent bar.
Great bartenders nice pool tables
Great place to hang out, shoot pool drink if you must.
Friendly staff. Lots of secure parking. Good sounds system for live music shows of all sizes.
Cool venue with spaces for billiards, concerts, shows and events.Parking and access is weird: turn onto the ramp from Kapiolani to get to parking on the 2nd/3rd floors. Theres a stairway on the south side of the garage to get down to Hawaiian Brians (2nd floor). If youre walking from the street, go through 24hr fitness to get up to the 2nd floor parking garage and Hawaiian Brians entrance
I Love Pool and Dart games so if you like that to then it will be the perfect place for you but you need to have a Id if you want to play
Good for parties and family fun great staff but the security guard was a little grouchy
Numerous attractive reasons, almost too many to count.
Had a great time shooting pool. Lots of tables, lots of room.
So this is again a pretty awesome live music venue. They have multiple rooms with different genres. There’s food and ! Enjoy!
Loved it everybody was friendly the beverages were affordable and good pool shooting nice tables everything is very nice had a good time thats all they care
Sorta ghetto but overall not too bad. Pool hall a little seedy.
Cool place to go and play pool and hang out.
Better than republik. One of the most poppin pool hall/music venue around.
Very cozy. Saw Richard Thompson, only 200 or so seats.Felt intimate.Meanwhile, regular patrons outside concert area, shooting pool.I paid $50.They heard it go free.!!My only gripe is the humorless lady bartender.There was reception, starting 5:30 pm. Thompson came on 8pm, prompltly. Played 2 solid hours.Afterwards, until 2 am, there was after show party.Thompson loves that, meeting everybody, signing albums. He hangs out like that.I liked how the stage area and seating was set up.I didnt feel any bad vibes.It was nice evening.Hawaiian Brians is an awesome place to see and hear great musicians and speakers.
Whether it be shooting pool, darts, watching a live band, just hanging with friends and or drinking socially - Hawaiian Brians has several choices to offer for entertainment . There are two rooms dedicated to hosting live music. One named Crossroads and the other The Studio. Based on size one focused on fitting a headlining group, and the other a more intimate setting with a stage on pretty much the same level as the audience. There is also another room that provides electronic dance music. The staff is down to earth and friendly. There is a decent amount of paid parking available - unless you choose to park at the very top - beware of the poles within the parking structure. They will require a paint job that you didnt know you needed if youre careless. Will recommend to visitors.
One of the top best of all time venues for entertainment.
Tuesday night jazz open mic you have some tracks?? sure Pat will have something for you. Its nice really nice!!!
Excellent jam session on Tuesday beer could be colder but the jam session was fun
Great service, unusually low prices, good show, casual but nice.
Very unique venue, I can honestly say that I havent seen another place like it. It a two music rooms that bands play in, one enormous and one smaller.A billiards room that has to be the biggest I have ever seen. I am pretty sure there are over 30 tables and they are really tables, regulation size. Not those small bar pool tables. A dart area and a small restaurant. Also, most importantly, bars in every room!! I never had to wait to get a drink the A/C is outstanding. Overall, every time I came here I had a blast, and everyone was nice and looked like they were having a lot of fun.
Good place to play pool, darts and have a drink very friendly atmosphere but still professional.
Lots of pool Tables, friendly employees. Bathrooms clean and other areas are also. Tables in good condition and different sizes. Prices are fair and times opened are good also. Other pool players are easy to talk with about pool informations. Ill keep on going to Hawaiian Brians. Thanks...
Entertaining for our recent venue, parking terrible, should have ramp direct to rooftop for larger vehicles, difficult to navigate to the rooftop. Otherwise, staff & facility great!
Best bar/pool hall ever!
Had a great time here! The only downfall would be the side restaurant inside, takes forever even when there is no line at all. But so far the place is nice, very relaxing, cool place to chill and got lots of different rooms for your pleasure lol
Great place with live music. Small enough to feel welcome, big enough to get up and dance.
Mike Love and The Full Circle absolutely killed it! One of the best bands to see live here.
Incredible venue. So unique and so practical. The people who run it pick the right bands too. They know what’s up.
Its a pretty good venue. Always something going on. Spacious. Good variety of bands. Sound quality is hit or miss, and experienced some technical issues at several of the shows Ive attended. But it wouldnt deter me from going back.
Fun neighborhood bar; nothing spectacular but nothing too shabby either. Decent crowd, bonus points for Youngs Double Chocolate Stout.
Throw some darts, play a little pool, have a few vodka/cranberry, hey, good clean fun with da ohana.
Because there is so much to do you can relax and just chill with your friends and family or play billiards,darts
Good hangout.
Wanna play pool with friends and enjoy live music? Hawaiian Bryans is it. Younger crowd. Well priced beer. Check/call before hand. The tables may be full and the music genre changes.
Great place to hang out with friends
This place is gotta a dive vibe and there are people under 21 in here, but I still had a great time. Saw Mike Love with Clinton Fearon here and it was a great show!
Went to a graduation party! It was awesome! Im impressed that it had changed! Not just darts and billiards! Other entertaining sections! The studio had live entertainment! Featuring Beatles music, ukulele style at The Studio!
Friend had his baby, so they let us cruise in a quieter area, super awesome of them
Parking is small, especially if there is a big event.
Pool tablea and poetry slam live entertainment. Open mic..hidden fun
A great place for some beers darts and socialization. I liked that the dart area, its perfect for small groups.
Great place, David was super friendly!
Mike love does great reggae every Wednesday, and solo sets on Mondays. Great crowd, great music. Big love.
Had a great night, pool and drinks, darts
Always have great concerts!
Good for parties, I guess..its a bit too gloomy..Im sure they could make it more presentable than how it looks..
Not the same as back in 1990s... there was more arcade/ video games. Thats what I loved at Hawaiian Brian billiards. Missing it much now in 2018
Chill pool hall tucked away from tourists. Good beer prices.
Love this place, super cool atmosphere!!
Good atmosphere and the pool tables are decent.
Its a pool hall and we had a tournament there, just no service at all
Cool spot. Has more than billiards; I went to a poetry slam, and they have live music and darts too.
Theres always something going on at this venue. The night I went was the homecoming show for Crimson Apple. Great performance, loved the group so much, they deserve and 5/5 review. The 4 stars is not a critique of them, but rather the quality of food and service received at the venue. There was only one person at the counter, so I was in line for over 30minutes. I ordered 2 order of musubis, for $10 (its $5 for 2). After waiting for 30 minutes, I waited another 30 minutes for the food to come out. I wasnt expecting anything great, but musubis were worse than that at foodland or a gastation. The rice was a little hard and unseasoned, and the seaweed was chewy and pretty hard to bite through. If you want to eat to sober up or before you drink, you have better luck eating before you get there or wandering around for a latenight food truck.
Still one of my favorite spots to go to on the island. Been going here since high school days in the arcade. Things changed over the years and theres no arcade but now theres now multille venues within the establishment. Right when you enter theres a venue on the right. Go deeper and on the left theres a concert hall/area for bigger events, then after that on the right is an EDM area, then all the way at the end theres a billiards area for pool players. Oh I also forgot theres also a dart section. If you need a place to hangout, Hawaiian Brians is the place to go.
Been going here for years and it would seem that the tables, pool cues and even chairs are dusty and breaking. I literally saw a coaster under one of the tables. Also drinks were definitely over priced for quality establishment.
Always love this under represented pool hall, live music hall, night club, and EDM section all under one roof. Always coming back!
Relaxing friendly quiet place 2 enjoy
Nice bartender
Bummed to be leaving a bad review. I was enjoying dancing with my sister until James told us we were dancing too close to the fan. This was an actual complaint from the staff. DANCING TOO CLOSE TO THE FAN. James who was quick to blame the complaint on the female bartender was concerned that the single fan wasnt effective in reaching the entire room.Well, James youre right. It was hot as balls. However instead of attacking random customers for the inadequate layout.. I have a couple suggestions. Perhaps the establishment could invest in a SECOND fan... you could even move one from one of the rooms with no one in it. Maybe you could even turn on the AC. Or you could just grow some balls and learn what battles are worth fighting. Would pass on this place just for the bitchy staff.
There are no ping pong tables, please update the details on Google.
Great people and atmosphere.
Good music,pool,darts,validated parking,bar,food,drinks available, clean restrooms. Friendly people.good sound system.Fun and inexpensive spot
Bad info on website. No live person to talk to on the phone to confirm event venue and starting time. I dont understand how they have been in business for such a long time.
Awesome spot in Honolulu for night life, a variety of shows weekly. Close to major hotels.
Cool spot. Always enjoy myself when Im there
I want on a Tuesday night for open mic night I play drums didnt get a chance to play but I will go back and hopefully sign up earlier. They had I got lot of good Blues players there unfortunately I got there a little late. I have not been there for the rest of their venues.
Hawaiian Brians is always a fun time !! They have great live music every night that is often free! or very very inexpensive. Phenomenal local artists in an intimate relaxed vibe. Covering various genres, Hawaiian Brains has something to offer for anyone wether its pool, darts or dancing!
