WEST The Sites! Where to eat! Kona Brewing Co. The pub at the Big Island's most famous brewery is a terrific place to wind down after shopping. This microbrewery is the first of its kind on the Big Island. Spoon and Pops, a father-and-son duo from Oregon, brought their brewing talents here and now produce about 25 barrels (about 124,000 gallons) per year. Drop by at any time during their business hours and take a quick, informal tour of the brewery, tours are quick and personal – an added bonus is that those over 21 get to sample the products. Kona's on-premises brewpub serves up cold mugs of the brewery's top sellers, including Fire Rock Pale, Pacific Golden Ale, and Longboard Lager, and the cozy setting is such that, once you settle in, it's difficult to leave. Pub fare like gourmet pizzas, salads, and sandwiches are also available. Open: Tours Mon-Sat 10:30am and 3:30pm. Free tours and tastings. Turn into Firestone's parking lot; the brewery is at the back of the shopping center (behind Zac's Photo) look for the orange gecko on the door. ---------- Lulu's One of the Big Island's top dance clubs, Lulu's can attribute its popularity to any number of factors – its ocean-side location, awesome open-air deck, or state-of-the-art lighting and sound. A favorite with the young and pretty sect, the bar stays hopping until well after old fogies have hit the sack, and professional DJs spin the hottest dance tracks until 1:30am or so. The menu features a variety of munchies, known as "pupus" to the local crowd. ---------- Huggo's Quite literally "over the edge," Huggo's allows patrons to enjoy both oceanside dining and some of the Big Island's premiere fish and seafood dishes. While taking in the view of spectacular Kailua Bay, be sure to sample one of the house specialties – steamed clams and flavorful garlic chicken earn particular nods. After dinner, make your way to the thatch-roofed Huggo's on the Rocks, a popular outdoor bar and dance club whose specialty drinks and beautiful clientele always ensure a great time. Dinner reservations are suggested. Huggo's on the Rocks The younger, wilder sibling of the famous seafood eatery next door, this spirited joint is a terrific place to wind down the day and usher in the evening. Indeed, Huggo's on the Rocks is a popular outdoor bar and dance club whose specialty drinks and beautiful clientele always ensure a great time. A light bar menu features fajitas, salads, sandwiches, and tasty appetizers and offers a cure for the late night munchies. ---------- Tres Hombres Beach Grill Few things better complement a respite in Paradise than an expertly mixed margarita and views of the surf rolling in. Fortunately, the Big Island boasts a place where you can enjoy both – festive Tres Hombres in Kailua-Kona, comes complete with a beach bum's ransom of surfing memorabilia. Here, Coronas are always ice cold, tequila is always potent, and chiles rellenos are always spicy. A "light" menu is available for those trying to count calories. There's another location at Kawaihae Shopping Center (808-882-1031). ----------
