Kona’s is named after bartender owner Kevin’s lovable pitbull Kona. Kona’s likeness is displayed in the bar's logo and her giant smile in hot pink neon behind the bar.

Kona’s was awarded by Esquire Magazine “Best Bars in America” in 2021 shortly after opening. Kona’s continues to be a part of the thriving downtown cocktail scene, offering a casual environment with approachable cocktails inspired by street markets from around the world.
