They have a beautiful bar you can belly up to. On the other side of the bar are the beautiful Molokai Maidens who will bring you 52 different drinks and a wide variety of appetizers both hot and cold.

No bartenders visible, just the Molokai Maidens.

I love the bartenders at the Mai Kai, but having seen them face to face** I'll stick with the Molokai Maidens.

Yeah, but It's fun to go out for pizza with Budu from the Molokai at Primanti Bros at 4AM.
When you, Andy, the Sarong Girls (Bree et al) and I went a couple of weeks ago (the grasshopper toast), the drinks were perfect, as were the cocktails Momma Q and I had on Saturday the 11th of April.
Last year, I was there 4-5 nights a week and spent enough to earn Dining Rewards points to fly to Europe for free (6k+). I can tell you that last year, the quality wasn't up to par in the Molokai and I was able to see the quality change from day-to-day and reported it through my reports to USAir which Pia got. I stopped going when the pump broke in the Molokai and the water stopped falling down the windows. I never realized how much a part of the experience was the water.
Their focus is back and I'm happy for those who are coming to the Hukilau for the first time so they may experience the famous Mai Kai quality for the first time.

**I love Troy from the back-bar, he is genuinely one of my hero's when it comes to bars and alcohol. He, unfortunately, has the perfect face for radio.
