Eight50 - Pearl City

TLDR If you are visiting Hawaii I would advise against this place. Definitely a locals only place based off our experience. The GPS makes it a little hard to find, tucked in a shopping center and not too intuitive where to find. Around the corner from the entrance we saw a group of people laughing and chatting and we asked them if they knew where the bar was and they either shook their head no or didn 't respond. (About 30 minutes laters they came into the bar and one of the guys greeted the bartender by name). When we first sat at the bar before greeting us the bartender said is that a beer you 're drinking? I had a Dunkin ' Donuts lemonade drink. Yeah it 's a little weird to go into a bar with a drink already but it 's Hawaii it 's very warm there and we would get thirsty. I understand their business, we were there to drink, but she said it rudely in my opinion. Looking past all of that, the drinks were ok. Drinks 3 stars Ambiance 1 star

It pains me to give this place just 1 star but, honestly, wouldn't go back. It was crowded on a Saturday night but we were lucky ? to get a table for the 2 of us. There was only 1 server for the entire place!! Poor thing and poor us. We waited for our menus, drinks, food, utensils, plates, water, and our bill. We ordered fried saimin and crispy shrimp and it took 45 minutes!! She brought it to our table, then left to get our plates. My friends water tastes funny. It had a chemical taste. Weird! The food was ok, nothing special, but we ate it cause we were hungry. Dunno if this was an off night but they really should hire more servers or something because the wait time was pretty bad. Don't think I will go back anytime soon.

Great place for trying whiskey and different types of tap beers! Whisky or whiskey is a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash.

This establishment is truly a hidden gem, as I never would have expected to find such an impressive whiskey bar attached to a bowling alley. They offer not only a fantastic selection of whiskeys but also a remarkable range of tequilas. The bartender and waitress checked in on my friends and me just the right amount, ensuring our glasses were always full without being intrusive. The menu featured an enticing variety of delicious bar bites; we enjoyed pork bao buns, kal-bi, onion rings, and kalua pig nachos. Overall, this is a wonderful spot to relax, savor fine whiskey, indulge in tasty food, and even play a game of darts or pool.

Here's an updated version of my previous review. I've moved it to four stars because we received our refund, although it did take 10 days to process back to our credit card. Overall, it's a nice place, but I found the old menu a bit frustrating.
