For good vibes, great food, and even better drinks, scoot on over to the Korner Pocket Sports Bar & Grill in Kealakekua. Their quality service is second to none, too, ensuring you always have an excellent dining experience. Plus, they offer all the best entertainment all day long, starting with sports playing on nine TVs. Pretty much everywhere you look, you get a nice view of the games on TV, making it a wonderful spot to kick back and relax.
On top of that, they have pool tables available for your pure enjoyment – and even host the local pool league on Tuesdays. If pool is not your jam, come by on Sunday mornings during football season to watch the game with the crew. Or pop in on Friday nights to hear live music from local bands. Want to show off your own skills onstage? Time your visit for the second Saturday of the month to take part in the open mike jam session.
Whenever you come in, you’ll want to grab a table, and then settle in for a good long look at the menu. They have all the pub favorites available for your order, including Reuben on Rye, Monster Burger, and Fish and Chips. Then, they go well beyond your expectations with homecooked goodness, like their ever-popular Slow-Roasted Prime Rib. Plus, you can come by on Mondays for meatloaf, while Tuesdays are all about tacos, of course.
To go with all that delicious food, they operate a full bar filled with the best brews on tap. They also happily make whatever cocktails suit your fancy, including margaritas and mai tais. If you prefer a little bit of sophistication to go with your meal, you can get wine by the glass. Just let the bartender know what you’re in the mood for and they’ll whip it right up. If you’re not sure, give them the go ahead to serve you their signature drink.
Their most popular items include:
Soft Baked Pretzel Sticks
The Soft Baked Pretzel Sticks always serve as a stellar way to start your meal. They get their pretzels from local bakeries, and then warm them up to the perfect temp. After that, the salty pretzels land on the plate alongside their super savory white queso dipping sauce.
Triple Combo Grilled Cheese
When you want comfort food on the double, order up the Triple Combo Grilled Cheese. This iconic sandwich starts with cheddar, Swiss, and American cheese placed between sourdough bread. Then, they add bacon, tomato, and jalapeno before grilling it to perfection. Once it’s hot, they put it on the plate with fries and serve it up right away.
Paniolo Burger
The Paniolo Burger always promises to tantalize your tastebuds from the first bite through to the very last. This delightful creation starts with a 100% grass-fed Hawaiian beef patty put on the grill until it reaches your desired level of doneness. After that, they put it on the bun with cheddar cheese, bacon, ham, lettuce, and tomato. An onion ring and BBQ sauce finish it off right before your side of choice goes alongside. You can get French fries, of course, but they also have lilikoi slaw, chips, or a side salad if you wish.
With so many amazing bakeries in their midst, the kitchen doesn’t make their own desserts. Instead, they source fresh baked treats from their neighborhood bakeries and serve them up on the double. So, you never truly know what you’re going to get for dessert until you come in and ask what they have that day. But you can always count on their selections satisfying your sweet tooth in an instant.
