Join our Donation Drive to Support Maui Food Bank, August 8th-31st

Donation Drive with Maui Food Bank

In solemn remembrance of the Maui fires, we’ve established a donation drive to support Maui Food Bank beginning on Thursday, August 8th and running through Saturday, August 31st.

As we all know here, the destructive fires in Lāhainā and Kula impacted numerous families, businesses and sacred lands. There remains a long road toward recovery. We wanted to find a way to honor those affected by the fires, and to support those who have tirelessly endeavored to assist those in need throughout this past year.

We’ve chosen to focus on one crucial aspect of recovery with far-reaching impacts: FOOD for those who need it. Maui Food Bank is a critical resource, continuing to provide food and essential supplies, making a profound difference in the lives of so many. Together, we can help even more.

Please donate what you can by clicking this link, or texting barandgrill to 71777.  As Maui Food Bank says, the spirit of Maui endures with your donations. Every single dollar counts. Together let’s help Maui rebuild, stronger than ever.

We know healing is an ongoing journey for Maui, and we really appreciate those who recognize the continued need for support, and take meaningful action to help. Mahalo Nui Loa, and we love you, Maui ❤️

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

Four wines on Valentine's at Three's! Sparkling, Rosé, Red and White

As for Valentine’s Day, we’re offering great deals on four outstanding wines; each unique and memorable.  Glenn took the time to share his knowledge on what makes these so special!  So let’s run down this luscious list…and if this doesn’t get you craving a glass, we don’t know what will!!

Sparkling Wine:  Almacita Brut Rosé — Uco Valley, Argentina ($13/glass)

  • Made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes
  • Notes of strawberry and cherry
  • Crisp, laser-like finish

Rosé:  Domaines Ott By. Ott Côtes de Provence Rosé — Southern France ($16/glass)

  • Varietals include Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault
  • Domaines Ott is the most famous producer of Dry Rosé in the world
  • Delicate and fruity with notes of white peach and apricot, mixed with passionfruit and mango
  • Full, fresh and crisp taste with echoes of the fruity aroma, amplified by citrus zest and sweet spices of cinnamon and cardamom

Red:  The Prisoner Red Blend 2021 — Napa, CA ($20/glass)

  • Incorporates Zinfandel with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Syrah and Charbono

  • Aromas of lemon, citrus blossom and wet sand (yes, you read that correctly!) with flavors of white peach and saline
  • A precise, balanced texture, designed to “capture Chardonnay in its most pure and unadulterated state”
  • Pops with tropical flowers and fruits of jasmine, plumeria and guava on the nose, with a crushed seashell minerality
  • The tropical character rides through the palate, offering more plumeria and guava flavors

Sip & Savor Anytime till 9

Three's wines with the 2022 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence

Even if it’s not Valentine’s Day, don’t be shy!  We’re open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.  Come on in and experience some of the exceptional wines on our list, along with our fantastic food menu.  Mahalo and here’s to spreading the love!!

Three’s is Named Among the Top Happy Hours on Maui

 

We’re happy that our Happy Hour makes so many people, well, yes, HAPPY.  It’s been that way for a long time…more than a decade in fact.  We’ve been known for our happy hour on Maui since we opened in Kīhei Kalama Village in 2010.  So it’s always nice when we receive awards like Best Happy Hour from local media like Maui Time (see the list and years we’ve won in our Media section) — and we were especially jazzed on a recent accolade from Maui Inspired as one of the Top 5 Happy Hours on Maui!

Local resource blog and social platform Maui Inspired even did a feature video on us as one of the top spots.  We’ve shared some of that in the video above, as chef/co-owner Travis Morrin so eloquently outlines a huge spread of Happy Hour favorites!   You can see more of the interview with host Kiaora Bohlool in our article on Maui Inspired.

What Happy Hour on Maui Means at Three’s

Three's Bar and Grill Fresh Oysters

Oysters at Three’s are flown in fresh daily.

You get plenty of time to enjoy, whether you’re chillin’ at the handcrafted booths or sustainable wooden bar (thanks to master builder/co-owner Cody Christopher and project manager/co-owner Jaron Blosser) in our air-conditioned Surf Lounge, enjoying the dining room (with stunning surf visuals from photographer/co-owner Travis Morrin on the walls) or relaxing on one of our TWO patios.  Our happy hour spans from 3 to 6 p.m. every single day of the week!

We offer specials on both food and drinks, so you’ll find a range of small plates on special, along with tropical cocktails, beer and wine!  Food options include the BBQ Kalua pork quesadilla, panko-crusted Ahi roll, local garlic noodles, coconut-crusted fish taco, crispy pork belly with green papaya salad, coconut shrimp and MORE!

It’s also pretty cool that we have sushi on our happy hour menu, since not many restaurants do.  We also happen to be one of the biggest purveyors of oysters in South Maui, flying those beauties in fresh daily from the Pacific Northwest.

Supporting Local Whenever Possible

We talk about this a lot at our sister restaurant Fork & Salad Maui, which is a healthy farm-to-table eatery in Kīhei and Kahului in case you didn’t know, but Three’s is a huge proponent of supporting local farmers and suppliers too.  As a hallmark of our business, we buy from Maui producers like Kumu Farms on the regular, use local ingredients for our garlic noodle plate and source our fresh fish from local fishermen as well.

Join us for your next Maui Happy Hour

We hope this has given you a taste of why we remain a favorite when it comes to that fun “Pau Hana” time of the day.  Read more about our happy hour menu, or just trust us and come on in!

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!!
