Kahale's Maui's Local Dive Bar — Restaurant in Maui

So, I traveled to Kihei by myself from 30 Aug to 3 Sept. After exploring the island during the day, I was thirsty and wanted to grab some drinks and meet some people.

Sure, Tiki is kind of cool because of the "Hawaii" look to it. What Ales You has some craft beer, okay whatever. There's also that club type of place in case I wanted to relive my 20s (Not happening, I'm 36).

But this place? I felt like I was at home at local dive bars in Tempe and Chandler, AZ. Beverages were cold and cheap (Don't listen to that scrub who complained about prices. $4 Bud Lights and $5.50 Fireballs are more than reasonable). The female bartender, whose name I forgot, was super cool and actually remembered me each time I came in, which was usually around 18:00. And if you're staying around Kam I-III, this place is located close by.

In the end, I was stoked to find this hidden gem. I'm already planning another Oahu and Maui trip around May/June, and will literally go out of my way to come here again. Even if I have to take a $40 Uber each way from Lahaina....

Arrived around 9, a live band was playing. The bar was somewhat crowded when we arrived. However it cleared out quite a bit as the night progressed. The line to the bartender was relatively short. The band had a lot of members and the music was pretty repetitive but it was poppin.

We still had a lot of fun dancing. The village appear to be bar central with several bars sharing the same parking lot. Not a ton of space to park considering how many business we're around. Over all we still had fun and...

A friend brought us here on one of our spontaneous bar hopping nights out.

ATMOSPHERE: They're located at the north end of the "triangle" that is Kihei Kalama Village. It feels like you're on an enclosed house porch. The tiny, open air space is crammed with a few tables, bar, and a small stage. Smokers will find it friendly with 2 easy access doors out.

BEVERAGE: Beer prices were cheaper than normal for domestic bottles.

ENTERTAINMENT: A live band serenaded us.

SERVICE: The female server was friendly and service was quick.

OVERALL: Cool place to come for cheap beer, live music, and no...
