When it comes to Happy Hour in Hawaii, our friend Ryan, from Hawaii Happy Hours is an expert! We were recently invited to The Brilliant Ox to do a tasting of their revamped Happy Hour offerings. A restaurant and gastropub located in Ala Moana Center. It’s easy to find on the 3rd level Ho’okipa Terrace – with lots of free parking!

Relaxing vibe as we lounged in what could be a dance area. Sports lounge seems more appropriate than sports bar as the ambiance more fitting of a casual meet up/date night. Large seating areas found throughout make it convenient for larger parties. For more information, visit here.

We loved tasting the Happy Hour offerings at The Brilliant Ox. Also, the restaurant has such a beautiful setting that you’re able to reserve certain areas for private gatherings. Now that we are familiar with the food and drinks menu, we’ll definitely be back for more!
