About Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman Wailea
Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman Wailea is a place where foodies, beer lovers, and families escape the stresses of their day-to-day lives by enjoying an ice-cold beer and a great meal while surrounded by people who consider them honored guests and friends.
Monkeypod Kitchen Wailea is founded upon a commitment to craft. Whether that is farming, cooking, brewing, art or design, they believe that the best quality comes from hard work and passion, and are dedicated to mastering the craft of food, drink, and merrymaking.
By building partnerships with farmers, brewers, and artisans who share their passions, the staff at Monkeypod Kitchen aims to deliver the highest quality that Hawaii has to offer.
The monkeypod tree is not only beautiful, but it has a really special presence in Hawaii. The monkeypod tree has a single stalk and branches that spread into a wide canopy.
They thrive in the Hawaiian Islands, more than any other place. Unlike other trees that kill the grass and other plants that live beneath them, the grass is always greener under the monkeypod tree, literally. Its leaves release nitrogen to naturally fertilize the soil beneath it.
Like the monkeypod tree, Monkeypod Kitchen thrives on the spirit of the Hawaiian Islands. The aloha spirit nurtures everyone that acts under its canopy.
By living aloha, and recognizing how lucky we are to live in Hawaii, the hope is that the grass is always greener under the Monkeypod Kitchen tree.
According to these Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman Wailea patrons
“Best happy hour on Maui, but be careful of the Mai-tais. They’ll sneak up on you 😀”
Chris S., March 2023
“Happy hour at the bar was what we were looking for and not disappointed. Mai tai was very good and shared Kalua pork and pineapple pizza and fish and chips (mahi mahi). Both were good and Morgan the bartender who waited on us was lovely. Pricey, yes. Worth is, yes.”
Deborah L., March 2023
“We went for happy hour. They have one of the best happy hours on the island. Make a reservation and sit at the bar! Service is quick and efficient. If you enjoy cocktails, the Mai Tai is always a winner. It’s strong, beware 🙂 Other drinks we tried and loved- Three Dogs and A Cat and the Nightwalker.
I love that these are not your typical tropical drinks and they aren’t overly sweet. For food we had the roasted chicken wings. The wings were so flavorful and the dipping sauce was amazing. My husband had the ahi poke tacos. It’s like sushi in a fried taco shell. So good! I had the fresh fish tacos. It was grilled Mahi and so flavorful. I could live without the margherita pizza, but it served its purpose.
Our bartenders were fantastic! If you don’t have a reservation, expect a wait.”
Alicia F., March 2023
“Had to come for the Mai Tai and it was just as good as I expected. Food was great too!”
Jennifer C., February 2022
“The Mai Tai was worth the wait. Make sure to reserve weeks in advance to avoid waiting.”
Sharon R., February 2022
“Fantastic evening dinner! The service was amazing! I had the macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi and it was probably the best fish I’ve ever had. Caught locally and served fresh. On a Tuesday night there was a 30 minute wait and you have to show vaccination card.”
John O., February 2022
“I started following this place for their gorgeous looking Mai Tai. Finally got to visit for lunch. The cocktails did not disappoint, and the food was spectacular as well.
We sat at the bar, our bartender was friendly and service was efficient. Do not sleep on this place if you get the opportunity to see Maui. We are huge wing lovers and theirs were great. The banana cream pie is bonkers. Just look at the pics!”
Sarah B., January 2022
“Fantastic as always. Got our group of 8 seated quickly without a reservation on a busy night in Wailea. Jalapeño mashed potatoes. Need I say more?”
Mike T., January 2022
“The wait was very long but it was worth it. The service was great and the food was hands down the best I’ve had on the island. We ordered the Pete’s fresh fish and tacos, kalula pork and pineapple pizza. The Mai Tai cocktail was very good the best on the island. So delicious! We devoured it all.”
Laura S., January 2022
“Came here while visiting some friends on Maui. They hyped the place up and it did not disappoint. Mac nut crusted mahi was delicious and so was my mai tai. All the bites I couldn’t help but sample from the table were also fantastic. The atmosphere is modern and spacious with live music playing nearby. A bit pricier than our other stops on the trip but well worth it.”
Roshi R., January 2022

Closed until further notice according to their website. I hope they can reopen as their happy hour is fantastic and that mai tai…exceptional!
We just updated the happy hour info for Monkeypod Wailea Maui so I can vouch that not only is this happy hour AMAZING but it is also 100% accurate as of today (April 30, 2019.) I’d like to mention that Monkeypod often has multiple live music acts a day and the view here is phenomenal. Maui locals know this as the place to get the best handcrafted Mai Tai on the island. Cheers!
