Kahale's

Great bartender, really good drinks. Just be aware that they don't serve food any more. The bartender did tell us that you can order food from any of the surrounding restaurants and eat it there.

Great local dive bar perfect if you want to catch a football game! Definitely a spot the locals watch football. Go cowboys! Dog friendly as well.

A true dive bar in the best sense of the word. When we came in the first time, we did get some looks from the locals but we made the effort to interact and they treated us like friends they just hadn't met before. (Got hugs on our way out!) The bartenders were friendly and did a great job for us. We ended up going back several times with a positive experience every time we stepped through the door. We will be heading to Kehei again in December and are looking forward to hanging a bit at Kahale's.

This was a fun late night place to stop for a drink. There weren't many people which made it nice to sit and talk.
They only had high top bar stools as far as we could see but they were pretty comfortable.
The staff was super friendly towards us. The music was at a great level- not too loud.
There is loads of parking in the lot right outside the bar. It is also in a place where there are several restaurants so you can go get dinner and then come here for drinks.

One of the last four bars in the Barmuda... it's been a wonderful trip with great people... Support Maui and shop local!

If you love a good dive bar. This place is it. Decent priced drinks and fun atmosphere. Also has live music which is always a good time.

Great dive bar. The locals/regulars are welcoming, staff is friendly and the bathrooms are clean - everything I look for in a good dive. Visited twice on my trip, including Naughty Bingo night. Wish this was the bar at home, I'd be there weekly.

Pros: It is a dive bar. Good for football games and cheap beer specials...and staying under the radar. Smokers, Cowboys fans and bikers will love Kahale's. Plenty of parking.

Cons: Service is "meh." I ordered one beer and was asked to cash out for bartender change. Ironically, the next bartender was absent when I needed another round. The first bartender was hanging around (presumably off shift) and gave me my second round. When I attempted to pay second bartender for second round with a tip, I was ignored. I threw my money on the bar and left.

Overall: This is a Cheers bar. If you know people, you will get treated well. If nobody knows who you are, plan for a wait in service. It's a dive bar. Keep expectations low. Average place.

We hired a photographer to take photos at the beach for our wedding anniversary and had wanted to have some casual photos at the food stands nearby afterwards. Since the food stands were closed at 5pm after the beach photoshoot, still looking for a food/drink establishment with some character we searched for "dive bars" in the Kihei area, and were lucky that Kahale's came up. I walked in wearing a seersucker suit and my wife in a frilly sun dress and big floppy hat, and needless to say we didn't blend right in, but the regulars there were VERY friendly and had a blast that we'd chosen their watering hole. Great conversation, lots of smiles, and terrific service from the bartender. What a great place, proudly holding itself out as a dive bar. Modestly priced cocktails, too. GO HERE.

Well, this is definitely a dive bar, so don't go in there expecting anything different. I went in on a weekend and got to meet some of the locals, enjoyed some cheap beer (in ice cold glasses by the way, wooo!) and saw a bar fight. Pretty fun evening!
