storytelling. Seating is limited at this popular event, although attendees are encouraged to
bring a blanket or beach chair for enjoying the show.
The family-friendly Friday Town Party ( www.mauifridays.com/lahaina ) takes place
on the second Friday of every month between the Baldwin House and Wharf Cinema
Center. As part of the Maui Fridays series, free event runs 6pm-9pm and features
everything from live music and keiki competitions to silent auctions and dance perform-
ances. Various bars and restaurants feature live music and most restaurants offer specials
valid for that night only.
One of the best spots for live entertainment in Lahaina is Fleetwood's (744 Front
St., 808/669-6425, www.fleetwoodsonfrontst.com ) , a two-story bar and restaurant that of-
fers the only rooftop perch in Lahaina. As the name suggests this bar was opened by le-
gendary rock musician Mick Fleetwood, and Mick himself has been known to jump in
with the band for some impromptu percussion. Live music is offered five nights a week,
6:30pm-9pm, most frequently on the rooftop bar looking out over the Lahaina roadstead.
For the closest thing on Front Street that you'll find to a club atmosphere, Moose
Mcgillicuddy's (844 Front St., 808/667-7758, www.moosemcgillicuddys.com , open until
2am) is the DJ and dancing hot spot for dollar drinks on Tuesday and Saturday nights.
While it's tough to turn down dollar drinks ($5 cover), the place will get insanely crowded
with groups of locals looking to start a fight—especially late at night. General sloppiness
tends to reign on most evenings. Nevertheless, it's still a good time.
Off Front Street in the Lahaina Cannery Mall, Lulu's Lahaina Surf Club (1221
Honoapi'ilani Hwy., 808/661-0808, www.luluslahaina.com , open until 2am) is the town's
other dance club. Saturday night is the big night at Lulu's, so there is usually a $5 cover.
Live music can sporadically be found on the other nights of the week. While the dance
floor is large and there are a couple of pool tables in the back, the mall location detracts
from the vintage Lahaina experience. Another problem here seems to have plagued Maui
nightlife since the invention of the subwoofer: late nights and loud music can lead to fights.
Also, while the schedule is highly irregular, Longhi's (888 Front St., 808/667-2288,
www.longhis.com ) will occasionally have late-night music until 1am which can feature
jazz, rock bands, or visiting DJs. This is the classiest venue in Lahaina, and as of the time
of research, Thursday is the best night for late-night dancing.
Both Cool Cat Café (658 Front. St., 808/667-0908, www.coolcatcafe.com ) and
Kimo's (845 Front St., 808/661-4811, www.kimosmaui.com ) provide live music during
the dinner hour seven nights a week. On Friday nights Kimo's can sometimes have music
