Ono is (as far as I know) the world’s only tiki brewpub! It is in Chantilly, VA No cocktails, but 10 craft beers to choose from. Backstory: The husband was stationed in Hawaii where he met his wife, who was born there. They opened up a brewery and decided to bring a little of the island vibe to the place. The brewery has a unique system for pouring beer – it is self-serve. You get a card, walk over to one of the ten taps, tap the card, and pour yourself beer. You are charged by the ounce, so you can just sample, get a full pint, half pint, etc. That also means you can bring your own mug! There is a video on the home page that shows some of the “tiki light” decorations: https://www.onobrewco.com I went there today. The coconut brown ale is a winner. The pulled pork BBQ sandwich was fantastic. This interview with the owners describes the brewery and the Hawaiian event that was held a few years ago: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=714512285674702 About the event in April: https://www.onobrewco.com/onoversary-luau
