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!!

Three’s Digs Deep to Help a Community Cause

March 12, 2017 By Leave a Comment

We at Three’s are all about giving back to the community, and supporting local however we can.  So with that, we ask you this.  Ever eaten dirt?

It was a featured ingredient — well, sort of — at the Three’s/Fork & Salad display during the Taste of School Gardens event on March 4, 2017.

To represent Three’s, Chef Travis crafted a Peas & Carrots dish, complete with “culinary soil” made from porcini mushrooms, almonds and toasted bread.  It may have looked like dirt, but it tasted delicious!

“It’s kind of like eating a garden in a bite,” explains Chef Travis.

The roasted carrots came from our trusty organic supplier Oko’a Farms, and some were harvested from student gardens, which nonprofit Grow Some Good has worked to establish in 12 schools around Maui.

Volunteers help students learn skills like how to handle seedlings, build soil, maintain compost, tend plants and harvest produce.  It’s not just a hobby, it’s a curriculum!  Grow Some Good’s mission is right in line with ours at Three’s and Fork & Salad: putting the focus on local products and keeping agriculture alive here.  You could call the relationship, well, symbiotic.

“Nowadays 90% of food is imported to Hawai’i. We’re small potatoes in terms of changing that, but we’re trying to,” says Chef Travis. “When it comes to Grow Some Good, kids being mindful of island resources, space, sustainability, it’s full-circle!  It interconnects, it’s all really important.”

We were first introduced to Grow Some Good during an amazing Persian dinner at Chef Paris Nabavi’s home in 2016, which raised money for the nonprofit. We were inspired to help too, donating a portion of every Beet & Goat Cheese Salad sold at Fork & Salad to Grow Some Good.

But that was only the beginning.  Three’s selected Grow Some Good as our Kama‘āina Giveback Program recipient in September AND October of 2016.  In addition, our chef/co-owners have volunteered their time in the gardens with students at Kamali’i Elementary and Kīhei Charter School. Check us out in MauiNow.com’s story, “Chefs & Students Unite to Grow Some Good.”

The Taste of School Gardens event is Grow Some Good’s largest fundraiser of the year, and we joined other notable restaurants in helping support the fun event at Hotel Wailea. Our staff and UH Maui culinary students even made 300 portions of Fork & Salad’s popular Ni’ihau lamb chili. There was so much of it, we needed a big paddle to stir the giant pot!

To lend an extra hand, we’re planning to adopt the Kīhei Charter School garden, near Fork & Salad in Azeka Mauka. Our natural food scraps will go into their compost, and our staff will provide some hands-on help in the garden.

“We would volunteer in spring and fall to get the garden ready for planting,” says Chef Travis, “plus we’d get some vegetables from that too, so it’s really special.”
