Top choice in Lahaina
'Aloha y'all' is the welcoming slogan at Lahaina's best late-night bar, tucked in the lower level of the mall – the owner is from Georgia we hear. All open-air, its fountains are muffled by the raucous revelry of locals and visitors. During happy hour (3pm to 7pm), enjoy the long list of drinks at big discounts. Piña coladas and tropical drinks are excellent.
The bar food features seafood – good fish tacos! – and is served late.
