Eight50 - Pearl City

"The wine selection is excellent. Food: 5/5, Service: 5/5, Atmosphere: 5/5."

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.

I was really disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. After we paid our bill, we noticed that we were charged an extra three dollars for each drink compared to the prices listed on the menu. We spoke with the manager, who promised to refund our credit card, but that never happened—however, we did receive the refund about ten days later. It’s a great place, but they really need to update their menus.

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.

My brother and I were in the area searching for a place to eat, but we didn't realize that the food court by Don Q's had closed down. We ended up walking over to the bowling alley just to grab a meal, and we were pleasantly surprised. We also appreciate the warm hospitality.
