We had a large (10 person + 1 dog) gathering at Aloha Beer on a Friday night. The host specifically chose Aloha Beer for the family dinner because the dog was welcome. Our service was really friendly, and the food was pretty good. Since it's primarily a bar, I was impressed at the food, in fact. Everything else was tasty. The Poke Nachos were good--but the house made chips were fluffy, crisp and amazing! I'd go back just for the chips. We also ordered Truffle Garlic Parmesan Fries, Cheese Bread, Garlic Mushroom Tapas, Giant Pretzel, Crispy Rice & Spicy Ahi, a house salad, some kind of pizza, a burger and a bunch of beer. Everything I tried was good. The dog had a couple of items as well, but I didn't try those. The one item I did find disappointing was the karaage chicken--I'm really spoiled by the real thing, which we ate all ever Japan--it wasn't even close to that. To top it all off, we got the Bigass Sundae, which was the grand finale. It took a while for the sundae to arrive, but when it did, we understood why--amidst the mountain of ice cream, were freshly fried donuts and waffles. That was incredible, and we finished off every bite (see photos of before & after). I'd absolutely go back for the nachos & sundae...if they had a smaller version.
There's a smaller outdoor seating area, a small indoor eating area and a courtyard area with bar height tables and live music. We were in the courtyard, and the musician was good. Sorry, forgot his name. Also I liked that the music wasn't so loud that we had to shout over it.
There's valet parking on the rooftop, for a fee.
