Casual Hawaiian eats, craft beer & a variety of rum cocktails in a bright, garage-inspired hangout.
Kuleana Rum is made right here on the Island of Hawai‘i from 40 heirloom varieties of kō (sugarcane), which we harvest by hand, press, and distill into Kuleana Hawaiian Rum Agricole and blend into Kuleana Huihui®. We also blend our Kuleana Nanea® from exceptional rums we discovered around the world.
Come celebrate the richness of Hawaii with a Guided Tasting at Kuleana Rum Shack! Our Guided Tastings are at 3:30pm and 5pm, and can be booked through Opentable.
