Hard Rock Cafe

Chock full of Americana, not to mention surfing and rock 'n roll memorabilia, Lahaina's branch of the familiar chain stays busy day and night. Potent drinks, a tasty menu, and an oceanfront location create immediate appeal, and live music kicks up the fun more than a notch. Most times, bands play on Mondays, and they ring out loud and strong, which mightily pleases young folks (21+). Covers aren't charged unless there's a special show, in which case the price is about $5, cash only.
