Avalon Gastropub

Why Kai Loves It

# Avalon Gastropub This legit whiskey bar and eatery in Kilauea is where elevated pub fare meets serious craft cocktails, and trust me, they're doing both at the highest level. Located in a spot that feels way more upscale than your typical gastropub, Avalon is the real deal for foodies with adventurous palates. The menu hits hard with creative comfort food that'll make you rethink bar snacks. Their Scotch Egg is absolutely killer – a soft-boiled egg wrapped in pork belly sausage, fried golden brown, and served with chipotle dijon-aise that's pure perfection. The Smoke House Poutine takes fries to epic heights with cheese curds, house-smoked brisket, gravy, and a poached egg on top. Don't sleep on the Pub Steak either. Wash it all down with one of their signature Jalapeno Smoked Margaritas or explore their extensive whiskey collection 🤙 The vibe is upscale casual with great ambience – think date night or celebrating something special rather than a quick bite. Perfect for couples, foodies, and anyone who appreciates craft cocktails paired with elevated comfort food. **Insider tip:** They're only open Wednesday through Saturday, 5-9pm, and reservations are highly recommended. The bar can get backed up on busy nights, so order your drinks early. Honestly, this is one of those spots where the hype is justified. Worth the trip to Kilauea for sure.
