A lively Wailea gastropub with creative island-influenced comfort food, strong whiskey and beer program, TVs for games, and a kid-friendly menu, but expect uneven service and occasional execution misses.
The Pint & Cork delivers solid gastropub dining with above-average food quality highlighted by creative ahi dishes and standout deviled eggs, but inconsistent execution—cold items, oversalted fries, temperature lapses—prevents a higher grade. Service shows friendly moments alongside occasional slowness and brusque interactions, while the mall location offers pleasant interior comfort without destination appeal. Strong whiskey and beer programs and a genuine Keiki menu add value for families and repeat visitors.
Set inside The Shops at Wailea, this spot feels warm and bustling without losing its island ease. Bartenders pour serious whiskey and crisp pints while TVs keep game-day energy rolling. One diner summed it up: "We felt welcome at the bar and the tuna was a standout." However, there are some review authenticity concerns suggesting certain reviews may be solicited or influenced. The cooking leans gastropub with island flair: think sesame-crusted ahi, green curry bowls, kimchi-laced sandwiches, and those bearnaise-topped deviled eggs. It is comfort food with creative twists more than fine-dining theater, ideal for travelers wanting a casual plate after the beach or a lively drink-forward evening watching the game. Families are well covered. There is a real Keiki menu with mac, tenders, sliders, and grilled cheese, plus shareables like fries and fish and chips. Portions suit kids and the flavors are friendly rather than spicy by default, making it easy for picky eaters even as adults explore the fusion options.
