15 years in business. Can you believe it? We barely can!!
Rewinding the Clock
Here’s a quick rundown on how this all came to be. Three young friends met while working at a Wailea restaurant and bonded through a love of surfing. Jaron Blosser, Travis Morrin and Cody Christopher launched a small catering business together, innocently thinking it would give them the time and freedom to work (and surf) when they wanted. As you can imagine, they were inundated with work — they decided to take on the former Bada Bing space at Kīhei Kalama Village, which required major renovation! They had also never been business owners before, so together, they figured out a plan to get rolling. They put the love in over many months, and the doors first opened at Three’s Bar & Grill on Friday, February 5, 2010, welcoming customers to 1945 S. Kīhei Road with a diversity of food and drinks.
A Journey Like No Other
In the 15 years since then, we’ve been racking up the memories along a very eventful journey. Event hosting and late night shows, wedding and boat catering, Food Network visits (twice!) and “Best of Maui” awards, kitchen fires and island fires, renovations, shutdowns, reopenings, blessings and so many moments in-between.
We now have two outdoor, shaded patios; an air-conditioned Surf Lounge with multiple screens for sports viewing, along with custom wood tables, bar tops and booths (made by our co-owners Cody Christopher & Jaron Blosser); and a dining room adorned with island images by Travis Morrin Photography, after our co-owner took up photography in 2020!
15 Years of Love for Maui
If you look closely, you’ll see the motto “live love surf” on the walls and that really speaks to our owners, who do their best to live with purpose, love what they do and surf when they can — after all, it’s the activity that brought these three friends together in the first place. 🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️ Hear from each of them in this video as they reflect on then and now.
The Maui fires in 2023 hit everyone on the Valley Isle hard. As a way to support our local community, Three’s began offering happy hour ALL DAY to kama‘āina with a Hawai‘i State ID. And if you haven’t heard, our happy hour happens to be award-winning with great deals on an abundance of small plates, appetizers and drinks! For non-residents who visit, it runs from 3 to 6 p.m. every day of the week. Learn more about what we offer in our blog, Three Reasons to Spend Happy Hour with Us.
Mahalos on our Birthday & Beyond
Together, with a fantastic team, we’ve ridden the waves of ups and downs, and are truly grateful to still be standing today — with stronger footing and more balance than when we first started! Thank you for helping to lift us up and support our small business here on Maui. Get the lowdown on who we are in this overview video.
To commemorate our big birthday of 15 years on Wednesday, February 5th, 2025, we’re offering 15% off food and drinks (can’t be combined with other offers, or used for happy hour or takeout) all day, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. We hope you come in and celebrate with us!
“Three Chefs. Three Cuisines. One Great Restaurant.” Our old motto still rings true today! Here’s to 15 years and counting!! #AlohaComesInThrees
