The design combines koa wood furnishings, ohia wood posts from he Big Island, and the unique use of brewing equipment as functional decor - an old brew kettle has been recycled as exterior signage, and a retired brewery mash-tun forms the exhaust hood for the pizza ovens located in the open-air kitchen. Full-panel windows are retractable to provide an airy atmosphere throughout the restaurant and views of the marina and the lush green mountains that form Hawaii Kai's backdrop.
