Kainehe Liquor is a highly recommended store on Oahu, known for its great bourbon selection and great prices. It is praised for having the best Buffalo Trace Store Pick on the island and the best customer service on Island. The shop owner is described as a stand-up guy, very sweet, helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable, knowing his inventory like the back of his hand. Customers find themselves hanging out talking shop with him. The store has a very good inventory of whiskey on display and in its "warehouse," able to get whatever a customer wants. It is a go-to place in Kailua, with the owner helpful in finding specific, hard-to-find liquors from the mainland or local whiskeys from a customer's hometown state. He is also knowledgeable about limited supplies like Japanese whisky and is kind enough to suggest other nearby places for more selection. Customers, including tourists, walk out with nice selections of local beer. While there are lots of homeless nearby, the store's service and inventory make it a standout not just on the windward side but all of Oahu.
Great bourbon selection, great prices, and the best customer service on Island. Best Buffalo Trace Store Pick on island. The owner Dave is a stand-up guy. Sometimes I find myself just hanging out talking shop with him. Highly recommended store not just on windward side but all of Oahu!

This place is my go-to in Kailua. Has a very good inventory of whiskey on display, and in his "warehouse". Lots of homeless nearby, but he is able to get whatever you want without having to go to the other side for it all the time.
