Island Hopper Tap Room
A Rare Find — And It's About to Get a Whole Lot Better
Don't let this one go flat. Located in one of Hawaii Island's most sought-after resort corridors, Island Hopper Tap Room is a fully operational, turnkey taproom and casual dining concept — and it's ready to pour into the hands of its next owner.
The Pour is Strong Here
With 70+ rotating taps featuring an ever-changing lineup of craft beers, ciders, and specialty beverages, Island Hopper has built a reputation as the go-to destination for visitors and locals alike. The food menu is crafted for efficient kitchen execution and broad appeal — because great beer deserves great company.
Indoor and outdoor seating creates a laid-back, social vibe perfect for sports viewing, family dining, and everything in between. Live music indoors until 2:00 AM and outdoor entertainment until 10:00 PM? This place doesn't just tap out early.
Location? Hop, Skip, and a Jump from Everything
