HEALTHY LIVING FOOD AND DRINK, MADE WITH ALOHA

OUR VISION

Everything we do comes back to three things: recipes worth keeping, ingredients grown close to home, and a community we care about. We create only with olive, avocado, and coconut oils — never seed oil.

Many of our recipes have been years in the making — from our small-batch Big Island Booch kombucha (n/a and hard) and Jun to house-made smoked meats, krauts, cashew cheeses, lentil-walnut chorizo, and sauces. We blend island ingredients with global flavors and a fermenter's love of living food, so every plate carries a little of our story.

We source as close to home as we can: Hamakua-grown Ali'i mushrooms, wild-caught Hawaiian fish, pasture-raised Big Island beef, Sun Dog Bakery sourdough, and island-grown produce. Fresh, organic, and local isn't a trend for us — it's just how living food should be.

More than a restaurant, The Booch Bar is a gathering place in the heart of downtown Hilo. Come in for breakfast, linger over a booch flight, or book the Rainbow Room for live music, workshops, and community events. Come as you are — there's a seat and a plate here for everyone.
