Huggo's On The Rocks

The live music and location were amazing! The beat boxer entertained us for a long while.. He was amazing! The name was Logan Martin i think. The mai tais rock too and the staff is very friendly!

The food is def not the saving grace of this place, but the beachy casual atmosphere, the live music, and the hula dancing show (we got lucky to be there on the right night) made me feel good about our decision to have dinner/drinks here.  As a tourist, I was able to enjoy this spot and apparently a few locals make it a regular place to go as well.  We sat at the bar and enjoyed the company of the native bartender who was happy to serve us our cocktails and extra water!  His small talk might have even won an extra .5 star for this place.  He fit right in with my general consensus about people on the Big Island - friendly and hospitable.

I will spare the details of the mediocre plates served and just reinstate that the music and 'get up and dance because you're on vacation' vibe really made our visit to Huggo's enjoyable.

I had heard this was the place to go to when on the Big Island, but I hate to say it, but I was not impressed, other than the location on the water and the friendly customer service by the bartender Jeff.

We came for happy around 4pm and the deals were not that great, I think only $1 or $2 off the regular price and the happy hour food choices and prices were not spectacular either.

Overall, compared to other bar/restaurants we experienced, this was near the bottom of the list.
