Three Reasons to Spend Happy Hour with Us

Three's small plates sushi and oysters

For more than a decade now, we’ve been known as the place to be when it comes to Happy Hour on Maui.  In case you need an excuse, here are three great reasons to join us!

  1.  IT’S NOT JUST DRINKS.  We’re proud of our award-winning pūpūs and beverages (did you know we’ve received the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence every year since 2018?!).  And our happy hour menu features a wide variety of both eats and drinks, from delectable small plates and sushi to beer, wine and specialty cocktails!  We also happen to be one of the biggest purveyors of oysters in South Maui, flying those beauties in fresh from the Pacific Northwest.
  2. IT’S WELL BEYOND ONE HOUR.  With many happy hours, you zip in at 5 p.m. and the deals stop promptly at 6.  Not at Three’s!  Our Maui happy hour spans a full three hours, from 3 to 6 p.m.  Be on the lookout for promotions too.  Here’s one — as a gesture of support, we launched an ALL-DAY happy hour for our kama‘āina in September 2023, and residents were so stoked on it, we’ve decided to keep it rolling indefinitely!  So locals, enjoy our daily happy hour anytime between 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. with Hawai‘i state ID.
  3. IT’S EVERY DAY.   It can be frustrating to only catch happy hour during the work week, but not on weekends (when you might have more time to enjoy it).  That’s why we offer it every single day of the week!  Whenever we’re open for business, our happy hour is part of the package.

So come join us in Kīhei Kalama Village.  Chill in our spacious Surf Lounge or on our patios, as you kick back and enjoy some great food and drinks with loved ones at Three’s.  And hey, did you know we’ve been featured on Food Network not once, but twice?  So we’d love for you to check us out.  Mahalo and we’ll see you here for Happy Hour!!

Wine Wisdom from Three’s Beverage Director

Red wine at Three's Bar & Grill on Maui

If poetry is the language of love, perhaps wine is the liquid of love!  So we figured we’d put some enchanting specials together for you and your Valentine on Tuesday, February 14th!!

On any day of the year, our beverage director Glenn Morrin has curated a wonderful, diverse wine list with an impressive array of selections.  In fact, Three’s Bar & Grill has won the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence consistently since 2018!!

Four Wines for Valentine’s

Three’s Bar & Grill, Closed for Now

We wanted to share an important decision with our customers, who have been so dedicated to us for 10+ years.  

We, like most of you, have been following the COVID-19 pandemic closely and continue to monitor the guidelines coming from state and federal leadership.  As a full-service restaurant, we have made the decision to close Three’s Bar & Grill in Kīhei, effective immediately.  The health and safety of our customers and employees remain the priority, and rest assured that we will be taking measures to ease the financial challenges of our wonderful staff during this closure. 

We will be sure to keep you updated via social media and our website, and please know our intentions are to reopen as soon as we feel safe and comfortable with that decision.  We at Three’s look forward to welcoming you back then, and wish you the very best during these unpredictable times.  Please take care of yourselves.  Aloha and Mahalo to you all!

Where Did the Years Go?? Owners Remember the Ups & Downs at Three’s Bar & Grill

How can it be??  A decade in business??  We can barely fathom it, but Three’s Bar & Grill has now officially been open for 10 years!!  After launching their catering company, co-owners Jaron Blosser, Travis Morrin and Cody Christopher took over and renovated the former Bada Bing space, welcoming customers to 1945 S. Kīhei Road for the first time on Friday, February 5, 2010.  It’s been an unforgettable journey since that point, and the guys give us a rundown on the big moments of the last 10 years in our retrospective video above.  Naturally, each Three’s owner explains around 3.33 years of their business timeline:  Cody takes us through the first few years, Travis handles the middle, and Jaron outlines more recent times.

So what’s to come in the NEXT ten years?  The guys address that question in our video too, so enjoy watching and come see us anytime between 8:30 a.m. and 10 p.m. to celebrate!!  On our birthday, we’ll also be making a donation to Nabavi Legacy Fund, which supports several local nonprofits.

You can also see the owners’ favorite photos from the last decade, and learn just what they think of each other in our other blogs. Check us out on Facebook and Instagram anytime; thanks for an amazing 10 years, Maui!!

What Do They REALLY Think?? Three’s Owners Open Up!!

Three’s co-owners Jaron Blosser, Travis Morrin and Cody Christopher have shared a lot over the last decade or so.  Big decisions, great honors, huge challenges…and through it all, plenty of growth and lots of laughter.  You’ll see some of that in our video above, along with some honest thoughts from the guys when answering the question, “HOW Would You Describe Your Business Partners??”

The three of them are excited to share February 5th, 2020 with the community, to mark the big 10th birthday!  Come in and enjoy 25% off breakfast, lunch and dinner (discount excludes happy hour specials) all day and night on Wednesday; Three’s is open from 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.  We’ll also be making a donation to Nabavi Legacy Fund, which supports several nonprofits like  Grow Some Good, which encourages kids to create and sustain gardens in schools around the island; Kids & Teens Cook with Heart, teaching students about cooking for a healthy lifestyle; and Maui Food Innovation Center, a UHMC resource for new food entrepreneurs.  

The guys have racked up plenty of memories and classic photos over the years; in our “Three’s Goes Retro” video, they each pick out their favorite and explain why it matters to them and Three’s!  Please join us at 1945 S. Kīhei Road, or if you can’t make it on February 5th, reach out on Facebook and Instagram anytime!!

Three’s Goes Retro!! Three’s Owners Pick their Favorite Old Photos

The doors first opened at Three’s Bar & Grill on Friday, February 5, 2010.  Since then, we’ve been racking up the memories along a very eventful journey.  It seems almost unbelievable that nearly 10 years have gone by!!

Together, with a fantastic team, we’ve ridden the waves of ups and downs, including a catering partnership with Pacific Whale Foundation and food truck debut in 2013, a devastating kitchen fire in 2016, and Food Network feature in 2017 that put Three’s in the national spotlight.  

We want to invite the island to join us for this big birthday on Wednesday, February 5th, 2020.  All day and night long, customers will enjoy 25% off the entire menu (excluding happy hour specials) of food and drinks!

We’ll also be doing something special to give back to the community that’s shared so much with us:  Three’s is donating a total of $3,333.33 to the Nabavi Legacy Fund, which supports several fantastic local nonprofits:  Grow Some Good, which encourages kids to create and sustain gardens in schools around the island; Kids & Teens Cook with Heart, teaching students about cooking for a healthy lifestyle; and Maui Food Innovation Center, a UHMC resource for new food entrepreneurs.  

We hope you’ll be part of this special occasion, to celebrate a decade of memories in our island home.  We will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. at 1945 S. Kīhei Road, so please come enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner or our award-winning happy hour!  Or if you can’t make it on February 5th, send us a shout-out on Facebook and Instagram!!  We’d love to learn about your memories of Three’s as we share some of our own in the video above.  Thank you for your support over so many years, and here’s to many more!!

Three’s Supports UHMC Students at Noble Chef!

Learning by doing can really make a difference, and we’re always happy to give culinary students that direct experience through events like Noble Chef.

It’s a huge annual fundraiser for University of Hawai‘i Maui College (UHMC) and its renown culinary program.  The popular event always touts a fun theme (this year was “White Christmas”), and features a walk-around cocktail reception with light bites and a lavish sit-down dinner.  This year, Three’s was stoked to be one of around a dozen restaurants from around Maui involved.  Three’s co-owner/chef Travis Morrin, who went through the UHMC Culinary Arts program, has maintained strong ties to the school.  He has more in our video above.

Culinary students played a big role in preparing, displaying and serving these Noble Chef menu items, which featured seared scallop over sweet potatoes with coconut corn chowder, candied bacon and shaved Parmesan; along with Tahitian poisson-cru, which is ahi and hamachi lightly marinated in coconut milk and fresh lime, topped with burnt coconut and served with avocado ice cream, Moloka‘i sweet potato and taro chips.

Mahalo to UHMC and the students for a job well done, and we’ll see you next year!!

New, New, New at Three’s Bar & Grill!

 

There are a few things we’re especially stoked on these days.  We thought we’d share the list.

  1.  Our Chefs.  The talented staff in our kitchen and raw bar continue to impress with their culinary creations.  And customers have become such fans of several of the specials, we’ve decided to make them regular offerings!  Which leads us to…
  2. Our Menu.  Those new additions keep our array of menu items fresh and diverse, from three new sushi rolls (including a Surf & Turf roll with New York strip steak!!) and a special ramen to pork chops and prime steak.  Chef Travis shares the details on these in our video above.
  3. Our Brunch.  It’s been such a hit on weekends, we’re EXPANDING it!  Our epic breakfast items, like stuffed french toast, our signature loco moco and six varieties of eggs Benedict, are now available until 2 p.m. EVERY day of the week. Our bar also has some cool options for brunch cocktails if you’re in the mood!!
  4. Our Happy Hour.  Apparently, we’re not the only ones who are stoked on this!  We’re honored to receive Best Happy Hour on Maui (again!!) for 2019 from the readers of Maui Time (oh, and we’re happy to share that our sister restaurant Fork & Salad received Best Lunch on Maui!!).  We have specials on drinks AND food TWO times a day, every day…from 3 to 6 p.m. and 9 to 10 p.m.  The drink deals are among the best you’ll find on Maui, and our award-winning appetizers can be enjoyed in our Surf Lounge at awesome prices.

So join us and experience what’s NEW at Three’s, for breakfast, brunch, happy hour, dinner or anytime in between!!

Pacific Whale Foundation + Three’s Catering: A Proud Partnership!

Pacific Whale Foundation has existed since 1980.  That’s nearly 40 years of being a voice for the whales through research, conservation and community awareness.  That includes giving the public an incredible opportunity to not only learn about our precious marine life, but also experience it up close, through a range of boat trips.  Their eco-adventures are led by certified Marine Naturalists who provide a truly unique, educational and fun adventure at sea.  Those daily trips, from snorkel excursions to whale watches to dinner cruises, also include fresh, quality food, which Three’s Catering is proud to provide on every single trip, morning to night.  Learn more about what you’ll enjoy in our fun video above.

Our boat catering staff is a personable, professional team of talented chefs.  And it’s a pretty sweet gig to have the amazing ocean, complete with breeching whales and playful dolphins, as your backdrop!!  If you have the dedication and experience to join us, we’ve got some important openings, so check out some of our job listings in this video and apply online here!

Behind the scenes, we share in Pacific Whale Foundation’s passion and mission for marine stewardship and sustainability.  We’re committed to using NO plastic wrap for our boat catering orders, and feature 100% reusable containers, plates and cutlery for all boat trips.  We also proudly switched to paper straws at our Fork & Salad locations in Kīhei and Kahului.

So, go for it:  take to the ocean and enjoy the best of Maui’s abundant marine life, and we’ll be sure to provide you with fantastic food along your voyage!!
