While they have live music in the downstairs bar on Tuesday and
Thursday nights, Saturday runs deep into the night upstairs, where the tequila flows and
DJs spin at 'Club Night.' It's a party quickly becoming legendary on the South Shore. Or
is infamous a more accurate term? We'll let you decide. No flip-flops, shorts or T-shirts
tolerated.

BAR
(

; 1571 Poʻipu Rd, Grand Hyatt Kauaʻi Resort & Spa; 6-10:30pm)
A
rather austere koa-wood bar with chessboards on the tabletops and a drum kit on the
bandstand that hints hopefully at jazz (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday 8pm to 10pm).
Drinks are mixed and muddled with tropical fruit. Sip yours while contemplating first
editions sealed in glass bookcases next to antique china and ceramics from yesteryear.
Luau
Between the two choices here, the Sheraton's show gives you more for your money. Also
consider driving to Lihuʻe for Kilohana Plantation's new and different Luau Kalamaku

child $100/68/47; check-in 6pm Fri)
We rate the Sheraton's luau A (excellent) for ocean-
front setting and B (good) for the food and show, which is the standard Polynesian revue.
For a commercial luau, the audience size is relatively small at 200 to 300. Beware: the
humorous emcee demands lots of audience participation.
Havaiki Nui Luau

The Havaiki Nui Luau is a well-
oiled production befitting the Grand Hyatt setting, but the price is steep, especially if rain
forces the show indoors.
