Kailua resident Kristian Hill, left, shares a laugh with fellow Kailua resident and friend Kelly Davis and Davis’ dog Nui in the outdoor dining area at Lanikai Brewing on Friday, July 8, in Kailua. The Honolulu City Council unanimously passed Bill 27—a measure that allows outdoor dining on sidewalks and other public spaces—with help from Lanikai Brewing owner Steve Haumschild and other restaurateurs. Outdoor dining was temporarily allowed by the city during the COVID-19 pandemic, but that ended in March 2022.
