The Top Places for a Maui Happy Hour
Best Locations for Happy Hour on the Valley Isle
A great way to finish up another day in paradise is to gather with friends and family at one of Maui’s many popular Happy Hours. Not only can you find incredible food and drink specials if you know where to go, but Happy Hour on Maui can be a time when locals and visitors gather together to talk story, listen to live music, and share local wisdom.
Of course, on a place like Maui, you are likely to enjoy Happy Hour no matter where you go, but for the best combination of food and drink specials with a lively, fun atmosphere, here are our picks for the best Happy Hours on Maui.

Maui Brewing Company & Tasting Room
Maui Brewing Company’s restaurant, bar, tasting room, and brewery tours are one of the top things to do in South Maui. If you’re looking to fill your afternoon with Maui-made beer education, tasty food, and excellent happy hour specials, head to this hot spot in Kihei.
The reason why we love this happy hour so much isn’t just because of the specials. It’s also because their craft beers and libations are made on the property. There are many tasty beers and yummy locally-infused menu items to enjoy. During happy hour, there’s also live music with Maui musicians and DJs!
Happy Hour at Maui Brewing Company in Kihei happens every Monday through Friday. They have a Traditional Happy Hour (3:30-4:30 pm).
Three’s Bar & Grill
Three’s Bar & Grill is a fantastic South Maui restaurant and bar. The environment is lively, the menu items are tasty, and there’s always something cool going on. During Happy Hour at Three’s, guests can enjoy live music in the outdoor seating area with a rotating selection of local Maui musicians.
They also have two daily Happy Hours; 3-6 pm. What makes this Maui happy hour so great is its huge Happy Hour menu! Guests can choose from over 20 menu items like Kalua Pork Nachos, Hurricane Fries; Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs, Sweet & Spicy Lettuce Wraps, freshly shucked Penncove Oysters, and a variety of Sushi Rolls.

Milagros Food Company
Hands down, the best Happy Hour in Historic Paia Town is at Milagros! After the lunch rush and winding into dinner hours is one of the best times to check out this corner location on Baldwin Avenue and Hana Highway.
Whether you’re headed back from a day trip to Hana or looking for a refreshing cocktail after a day at a North Shore beach, Milagros has you covered.
Happy Hour is 3-6 pm daily.
Milagros is a great spot to socialize with North Shore folks, surfers, and visitors. The energy is inviting, fun, and full of camaraderie!
Colleen’s Bar
Colleen’s Bar is one of the newest additions to Maui’s best Happy Hours. Located in the Haiku Cannery, Colleen’s Bar is located right next door to the restaurant.
Here is a swanky Happy Hour spot on Maui’s North Shore. Upon walking in, you almost have to brace yourself while you look around because this classy joint looks like Colleen picked it up in Manhattan and dropped it off on Maui! The lighting is low and candlelit, the custom-built bar is gorgeous, and the decor is perfect.
Craft cocktails at this establishment are beautiful to look at and even better to taste. Without a doubt, a lot of creative energy went into developing this fine Maui mixology-infused cocktail menu.
Happy Hour at Colleen’s is from 3:30-5:30 pm.
Kahului Ale House
The Kahului Ale House is the best bar to spend time in Central Maui! It’s Maui’s favorite place to play pool, watch sports games, and eat a meal with a cold one in hand. The service is always friendly, and the environment is full of sweet aloha vibes.
We also love their sushi menu and that they always have a variety of local Hawaiian musicians playing on their center stage. Ale House is the perfect place to be if you’re visiting Maui and looking for a place to kill time before heading to the airport.
Happy Hour is daily from 3-6 pm.
