Leilani’s on the Beach

Første dag på Maui. Jeg er nok blevet for gammel til alt det ressort hejs. Leilani on the Beach er helt klart en del af det game, når det så er sagt så var der trodsalt 14 haner med udmærket øl på. God service så fint nok.

Located in an upscale tourist-trap outdoor shopping mall. Good view of the beach. Sat at the bar for a couple of beers and had reasonable service. Better draft selection than Dukes, but still only about 14 lines. Not a bad place to take a break from the heat.

Beachside location about 3 or so miles from downtown Lahaina. As selections and choice go, this is probably the 2nd best venue in the area after Maui Brewings brewpub. 3 or 4 HI beers on tap allied to offerings from Anderson Valley, North Coast, SN and others, breaks up the monotony a little. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, we opted for the latter, good service and was happy to give samples and chat about beer (or lack of in HI!). Food was also very good. Part of the same chain that owns Dukes a little further up the beach (they also had the Kona house beer for Dukes on tap here). Definately worth seeking this venue out if in the area.

They had a few decent beers on tap. It’s located right on the beach so that’s awesome. I had a dead guy ale which is great. Food is fabulous and view is superb! Not really a place I would seek out if looking for a place to have a huge selection of craft beers.

Visited for dinner in May, 2012. There are two sections to Leilani’s, the outdoor more casual area, and the indoor a bit fancier area. We ate indoors, since our kids were starving. They accommodated our family quite well, and the beer selection was well above the Maui average. Food was fine, a bit pricey for what you got. Not necessarily a beer destination, but a decent choice when in Ka’anapali. Barefoot Bar across the way is great too.
