Top Rated Nightlife in Lahaina

Named "the best food and entertainment combo in Maui" by Zagat's Restaurant Survey, this lively eatery features energetic dancing and live music upcountry. The sprawling dining area with the bar at one end turns into one of Maui's hottest nightclubs after hours. A huge wooden sun-deck is great for lounging and people-watching in the daytime. The menu features a nice selection of salads (made with organic greens), wood-fired pizzas and delectable homemade pastas smothered in rich sauces and savory meats.

This local bar is tucked away in a small shopping center amidst homes and churches. Far away from the beaches and high end resorts, this neighborhood bar is a popular place with area residents and islanders. It's a fun place to gather for a cold and refreshing pau hana beer with friends and co-workers, to enjoy satellite sports and especially to enjoy their menu of tasty small dishes or pupus that include everything from edamame to sashimi. The bar is neither fancy or pricey, but the real value is the warm and genuine local island atmosphere. - Lottie Tagupa

If you are a sports freak and want to enjoy your meal and drink in your favorite kind of environment then Ale House is the right place to be. Voted as the best sports bar in Maui, it has video games, pool and darts to play while you enjoy your food. Burgers, juices, steaks and a lot more is on offer to satiate appetites and you can also quench your thirst with the frosty draft beers. Kids eat free at Ale on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with every adult spending only USD13 on their meal. A rocking place for all those hardcore fun loving people!

Sammy's Beach Bar & Grill is one of the more enjoyable spots for travelers waiting for long flights at Kahului Airport. You can celebrate surviving airport security with a cold beer, or grab a burger before a flight that has no food service, or even catch a few minutes of a game before leaving the island. Whatever the purpose, this airport bar and grill offers great runway views and courteous staff to spend those last few moments in Maui. The prices aren't bargains, but the sense of being out of the madding airport scene for awhile is worth the price of a beverage. - Lottie Tagupa
