Maui nightlife and live music

Maui's nightlife is mostly live music: Kīhei is the liveliest, with South Shore Tiki Lounge (DJs and dancing after 9 p.m.) and Life's a Beach (bands, karaoke and open mic). Mulligan's on the Blue in Wailea has nightly live music, Wai Bar in Wailuku has jazz and a small dance floor, and resort lounges like the Four Seasons Lobby Lounge have Hawaiian music.
