“ A lively and cosy bar with great ocean view despite being separated by the main road. You probably will see geckos climbing onto your table which is an amazing experience. Shop owner is friendly. Price point is decent. The shrimp bite dish is flavorful (from garlics) and would be what I would recommend ordering. The chicken wings are quite good but not exceptional. Maitai cocktail is strong (lots of liquor). The blue neon light gives a clubbing feel which is quite interesting. Would recommend seeing sunset here. Free parking at an outdoor lot one street uphill (30 seconds walk). ”
“ Chill dive bar right on the main drag of Kona. Grab a drink and some ono fish bites and chill. ”
“ Great dive beach bar! Limited menu, but it's all done very well! Super friendly staff. ”
“ Walk to this great location and views, personable service and recommendations, good drinks, and prices. Cash only ('machine is down'). Note: This is a (Las Vegas) Raiders bar; say you are a pirate and you'll be fine. PS: photos show much more 'blue' than your eyes see. ”
“ So after visiting Kona brewery, we decided to check out a local bar/restaurant. I picked Da Shark Shack due to the good reviews. It was a good choice! My wife said she would hang there every night we were in town! Really cool local vibe! We had the ono(fish) bites and they were fantastic! I had their mai Tai and shipwreck cocktails. Both were made very well without being sugary sweet! My wife had a chardonnay that she really liked. She said it was buttery, which is her favorite! If you're in the area, you msg want to check it out... ”
