This restaurant lacks authenticity and genuine hospitality; it feels more like a facade than a welcoming place. They seem more focused on making money than providing quality. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

I really like this place; it's awesome! I'm not usually into clubs and similar scenes, but the vibe here is definitely unique. There are a lot of attractive women, which adds to the atmosphere. Overall, I’d rate it a 5 for the ambiance!

The bartenders, Alfie and Savannah, were outstanding, and they make an incredible margarita. The music is consistently great, with a new DJ or live band performing regularly. It's an amazing place, and I recommend it to everyone! Price per person: $20–30. Service: 5/5. Atmosphere: 5/5.

My favorite bar on Maui! Great drinks, fun variety of events, and it has always been LGBT+ inclusive for 5+ years I’ve been going. There’s security every day of the week and it feels very safe. They cater to both locals and tourists and it gets a fun, lively crowd on weekends and event nights. The owner, Johnny, is really a solid guy who always looking out for his patrons and the community, and always strives to do the right thing and take care of everyone. Maui needs more establishments like Wai Bar, especially for the LGBT+ community so we know we have a safe and accepting space with a lot of aloha!
