Sorry, Mai Kai drink prices are not online. Expect typical tropical drink prices of $8 and up each. Most drinks are in the $8-9 range if memory serves me well enough. Don't have a menu nearby to confirm. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

Rum Barrels give the most bang for the buck, although I think many here would say the Jet Pilot is more potent. Chip and Andy say so, and so I would tend to agree. They are there a lot and Chip is handy with the jigger. I just know that Kern, the GM says the Rum Barrel is stronger.

Oh, and Happy Hour means 2 for 1 drinks in the Molokai Lounge at the Mai Kai. Both dinner shows have a happy hour, but it is only good for drinks in the Molokai. Take advantage of that and have the missus order one drink and you another and then switch on the second round so you both can try something new. And the bar is way crowded during Hukilau Happy Hour, so order a couple of drinks at a time, as you may find your glass empty and needing more before they get back to you with another order. But do not order a Shark Bit in advance. The ice shell makes that one and you don't want it to melt on you too much. But hey, you can do that one as a shooter! :wink:

As for the comment above, you can probably chalk it up to poorly executed humor and not derogatory mud slinging. No one in the tiki family is that crude that I know. You'll find out that tiki people are the nicest people. Be sure to start conversations though. That person is just waiting to meet new people if you talk to them.
