Not so much for the tiki (though the place has a few), but for a great bar, bar food, and a view of one of the most beautiful bays in Hawaii...head up north just a tad from Kaanapali to Napili Bay and the Napili Kai Resort's "Whale Watcher Bar." Just fantastic! Great drinks (especially if made by Darlene). The foccacia steak sandwich with melted swiss and Maui onions is to die for!

You can preview the view at the Napili Kai's web site where they have a live webcam of the view:

Napili Bay is sorta a throwback to the 1960's era of Maui. Calm and crystal clear bay, good snorkeling, uncrowded. Just heaven!

Down South at Kihei there's the South Shore Tiki Lounge, that's small but nice and they have a great Kahlua Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich.

And further down South at the "Shops at Wailea" is a Tommy Bahama's Cafe and Bar that's very nice.

Enjoy!
