Retailers have begun closing up their shops, neighborhood lights dim, and the bustling streets have calmed into the occasional car or two. As the clock strikes 9 pm, most of the island has drifted into a deep sleep to the sound of gently rustling palms and ocean waves.

For the visitors adjusting to the new time-zone, the activity seekers hoping to make the early wakeup call, and the local residents winding down from another day in paradise the seemingly uneventful evenings make total sense. But for those night owls looking to get a taste of Maui after dark, we have a few suggestions for you.

The Dirty Monkey – Front Street
Breathing some life back into the famous Lahaina Front Street, the Dirty Monkey serves up good eats and refreshing cocktails every day of the week until 2 am. With a professional stage and top of the line sound system, live entertainment is a nightly treat. So dance the evening away on your next Maui vacation, we are sure it will be one to remember!

Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar – Kapalua
If fresh sushi, sake, and karaoke sounds like your kind of party then we suggest making your way to Sansei! Serving up tasty grinds with an upbeat atmosphere until 1 am on Thursdays and Fridays, it is easy to see why Sansei is a popular choice amongst both locals and visitors looking for a fun night out.

Maui’s Life’s a Beach – Kihei
While this hot spot is a bit of a distance from the best place to stay on Maui, Life’s a Beach is a great place for those looking for perfectly blended cocktails in a lively indoor and outdoor seating. Open 7 days a week from 11 am to 2 am, this is a restaurant that fits just about any itinerary!

And if you are looking for more of a quiet get together in the comfort of your island home away from home, most of our 2 and 3 bedroom oceanfront condos have cocktail bars that you can easily stock up and enjoy your favorite drink out on the open lanais.
