Da Burger Wing Hub & Bar has opened its third Oʻahu location at 1020 Keʻeaumoku St. in Honolulu, taking over the former home of The Blitz sports bar with a menu that includes a 1.5-pound wagyu burger and a $160 tomahawk steak exclusive to the new spot. The Wahiawā-born chain now spans three locations across the island, and the Honolulu debut brings steaks not served at its other outposts.
According to Aloha State Daily, the Honolulu location serves several steak dishes found nowhere else in the chain, including a $160 tomahawk steak served with seasonal vegetables, a $75 rib-eye, and a $35 New York strip. Reporter Kelli Shiroma Braiotta, the outlet's food and dining reporter, detailed a menu heavy on both comfort food and big-ticket items, including the Godzilla Burger, a 1.5-pound wagyu creation priced at $43, and the Jaw Breaker Burger, a $30 build topped with a 1-pound wagyu patty, fried mozzarella, cheese curds, chipotle aioli, jalapeno cheese sauce, lettuce, tomato, American cheese and pepper jack.
A Menu Built for Sharing and Sports-Watching
Beyond the marquee steaks and burgers, the Honolulu menu leans into shareable bar food. The Trash Can Nachos, at $18, pile football-shaped tater tots with pulled pork, tomatoes, onions, jalapenos and guacamole, while the Pile-On Hot Dog ($18) is a chili cheese dog topped with bacon and jalapenos. Other additions include a $12 order of cheesy bread, $12 burger sliders, a $19 Cubano, an $18 French dip, a $22 Philly cheesesteak, a $22 order of fish and chips, a $21 fajita sizzling burger, and a $32 pork belly fettuccine alfredo, per the same account.
The location keeps long hours built around Oʻahu's sports and nightlife crowd. It's open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Mondays through Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. Thursdays and Fridays, 9 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. Saturdays, and 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sundays during football season, the report notes. Parking includes six customer stalls in front of the restaurant and paid public parking behind the building with an entrance on Young Street, where the restaurant validates parking for up to five hours.
A Sports Bar Space With Deep Roots
The Keʻeaumoku Street address isn't new to the nightlife scene. Commercial listings reviewed by Coldwell Banker Realty show the 2,871-square-foot space had been marketed as a turnkey bar operation for $200,000, complete with a liquor license, before Da Burger Wing Hub moved in. Property records compiled by hawaiihome.cc trace the site's history as a sports lounge back to at least 2009, when it operated as Cafe Ten Twenty under a Class R liquor license, well before its run as The Blitz.
The new restaurant is chef and owner Arjay Mijares's third Hawaii location, following the original Wahiawā restaurant and a Kapolei outpost that opened inside the Embassy Suites by Hilton Oʻahu Kapolei in April. Mijares and managing partner RJ Valmonte built the brand around blending American comfort classics with local Hawaii flavors, and the Kapolei opening served as a springboard before the company pushed into central Honolulu.
Suburbs First, Then the Big City
That sequencing echoes a broader pattern on Oʻahu. A market analysis from Vonlin Hawaii Real Estate found that multiple food concepts, including Da Burger Wing Hub and the Michelin-recognized ramen chain Mensho, chose to expand into Kapolei before opening locations in central Honolulu, a trend the firm links to West Oʻahu's growing population density.
Da Burger Wing Hub also built its identity around frequent menu innovation at its Wahiawā flagship, where it expanded into a dedicated bar space with a craft cocktail program in May 2025, adding drinks like a $15 smoked Old Fashioned and a $12 lilikoi mule. Since July 2025, the chain has released four limited-time specials on the first Friday of every month, a tradition that has included a $28 tableside-torched Cheesy Skillet burger and a $32 Chimichurri burger topped with bone marrow.
Joining a Booming Food Corridor
The Honolulu opening also lands the chain in the middle of one of the city's fastest-growing dining strips. Keʻeaumoku Street has seen a wave of new food and beverage investment tied to the residential boom in Midtown Ala Moana, highlighted by Midtown Eats' 12-vendor food hall debut in January.
Running a full bar and kitchen in that corridor comes with real regulatory overhead. Honolulu Liquor Commission rules require all managers and bartenders serving alcohol to complete an approved server training program, with certifications valid for four years, according to ServSafe. Restaurants on Oʻahu also face a 4.712% General Excise Tax on gross business receipts, combining Hawaii's 4% statewide base rate with the county's 0.712% surcharge, as detailed by Numeral. Those costs help explain why viral, high-priced menu items like the tomahawk steak and wagyu burgers matter to an operation's bottom line even as they draw attention on social media.
