South Shore Tiki Lounge

Lets just put it this way.... Ive been cut off at a lot of bars.... and this one didn't, end of store and two thumbs up

The five stars are for the lovely patio, the great service, and the amazing lava flow. Also for the music.

Review based on its nightlife scene, only!

This bar is one of the more popular "going out" bars among the local Maui crowd.  I come here regularly with friends when I'm visiting Maui, mostly because it's so popular...and I almost always see a familiar face!  Some people say Maui is "too small", but I think it's nice to catch up with people I haven't seen since high school!

Aside from that, this venue could use some work.  Its overall appearance is small, tackily touristy, and grungy.  It's such a crammed space that during the busy weekends, it's so packed you can barely move!  At that point the line to get in can get to be around 20 people or more.  Drinks are reasonably priced, but there's only a few tables and the rest is standing room/dance floor.  On the outside deck, the ledges and floor are sticky with spilled beer.  Bathrooms are dirty and shared by the adjacent outdoor mall/plaza.

Nearly always a happenin' place, but definitely not the classiest joint either.
