Maui, the entertainment only gets better. Dine under the stars in Wailea, dance

headline entertainers perform at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center (MACC), and
lose yourself to the romantic, exciting nightlife on Maui. Below are some of
our favorite must-dos on the beautiful island!

Hawaii Regional Cuisine
in Maui
Hawaii’s regional
cuisine blends diverse, ethnic flavors from all across the globe on Maui. There
are many great places to dine but for now, I will mention a
few exotic, beach-front restaurants.
West Maui has The Cliff
Dive Bar is encircled by the crystal blue waters of a lava-enhanced swimming
pool and offers tropical specialties throughout the day. The Banyan Tree,
another hot spot for dining, provides Maui’s freshest fish, meat, and produce,
and features a farm-to-fork concept. Kai Sushi, serving Maui’s most
refreshing Japanese cuisines, features a lobby venue with views and is a
must-see for people of all ages on Maui.
If you’re craving fresh
cheeses and rich pasta, visit Casanova Italian Restaurant in charming
Makawao. They serve inventive specials in a charming, traditional
Italian setting. Enjoy life entertainment and dancing.
Humuhumunukunukuapaua’a
is a romantic ocean front restaurant in South Maui located in Wailea. The
name is inspired by our Hawaii state fish. Enjoy the South Pacific
ambiance in an open air structure with Polynesian décor and thatch roof. The
restaurant floats on a lagoon filled with tropical fish all surrounded by lush
tropical foliage. If you like lobster, select your own fresh from
the tank. There are many delicious Polynesian and Hawaiian Island
fish and meat entrees to choose from.
Live Music and
Entertainment on Maui
After dining, it
is time for live music a must do experience at night,
especially on Maui! From traditional Hawaiian and contemporary music, Maui
offers a variety of music spots.
West Maui and Lahaina
offer plenty of venues to enjoy, including the Hula Grill, Kimo’s, and
Cheeseburger in Paradise.

Be sure to check out the
MACC in Central Maui, Kahului, it is the island’s largest venue for concerts
and theatre performances. On August 19, the MACC will be celebrating vintage
Hawaiian fashion at their food and wine tasting event, and on August 21,
Thompson Square will be playing live. Check them out!

| Kathy McCartney with Lucas Nelson |
Paia town is a cool
place to visit. Check out Charlie's Restaurant and Saloon with live rock
n roll and blues. Surprise celebrity performances from time to time.
Lucas Nelson performs here; his father is famous Willie Nelson.
Lucas is a great talent and when he is in town performing, his shows often sell out.

In Kihei Three’s Bar
& Grill features something new nightly:
comedy, piano, salsa, dancing, jazz night, and solo guitar.
Fleetwood’s on Front St.
 |
| Willie K. and Mick Fleetwood at Fleetwood's on Front Street |
Fleetwood’s is more than
just an entertainment restaurant — it’s an art gallery meets entertainment hub
meets dinner and dessert bar on Maui’s trendy, hip Front Street. The food at
Fleetwood’s is to die for and the servers are top-notch, featuring a mix of specialty coconut & lime drinks and outstanding,
mouth-watering meals. I love their happy hour menu and their $1
Oysters.

Cole Sulenta, Paul Johnson, and many more! Every Friday, Fleetwood’s has a Late
Night Happy Hour and showcases creative musical performances. Don’t
miss these amazing, live shows!
