Updated 8/15/2023 by the Maui Happy Hours team
Message from Down the Hatch on Facebook:
Mahalo for your patience as we’ve needed to take a couple of days to process this nightmare that has become our reality. We have no words to express the outpour of support received from around the world for our beloved little Lahainatown.
In the midst of the chaos, our main priority is ensuring the safety of our staff, their loved ones, and anyone else we can touch that’s in need of a helping hand. We have started a Go Fund Me (link below) with all proceeds going to fund the construction of tiny homes for those displaced and support for our staff.
To the families and businesses that have suffered unfathomable loss, our hearts are with you. And to all of the first responders, we can’t thank you enough.
We are so lucky to have had nearly 8 years of building incredible memories with our community near and far. We are hopeful that with time, hard work, and lots of love that we will be able to open our doors to you all in the future. MAHALO

About Down the Hatch Maui

Down the Hatch adds a flair of Southern Aloha with their Chicken & Waffles and Shrimp Po’Boy, yet have a variety of Hawaiian Island favorites like their Local Style Plates, Lobster & Crab Grilled Cheese, Calamari, and more.
Down the Hatch was featured on Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives, hosted by Guy Fieri on June 16th, 2017 on the Food Network!

According to these Down the Hatch Happy Hour patrons
“I always come for the mermaid fries and the spicy chicken sandwich. Good food and happy hour. Fun vibes. Everyone is always super friendly. LET’S PARTY!”
Shawn M., April 2023
“The fish was out of this world! Fish and chips is more then one person can eat. Lava Lava shrimp was excellent.”
Jeff G., April 2023
“Staff is friendly. The Lava Flows are the best I’ve ever had (see if you can catch Happy Hour). The Lobster Grilled Cheese is incredible. And you can sit and watch the Koi, turtle, and geckos while you eat. Highly recommend.”
Shawna T., January 2022
“Came (to Down the Hatch) for happy hour. Great value. Loved the lava flow. The chicken sandwich was delicious. It was on a fresh toast type of bread. Very unique. I would like to come back and try more.”
Tina L., January 2022
“Great calamari, great kalua pork, the lava flow drink is fan-freaking-tastic! There’s Always a line, but it’s fast and Worth it! Absolutely if you can visit it, go! Shops all around, right across from the Lahaina harbor.”
Kaleb C., January 2022
“Awesome restaurant with quality food! Everything I had at Down the Hatch was so delicious. Food came out fast and they always had some groovy live music and a fun atmosphere. The location is right in the middle of Lahaina town. If you eat at one place, I would recommend Down the Hatch.”
Jeff D., June 2021
“We did tons of research on places to go to eat and we saw this place on triple D. It was on the top of our list, we wanted to make sure it was the first place we went, so that we could come again during our stay. Let me tell you we were not disappointed. We got a carafe of Bloody Mary’s to share. It was delicious and a steal of a deal. My kids are on the younger side but we still got a meal each with 1 egg and bacon the other pancakes. They split both and it was perfect. I got the pork belly Benny. I get eggs Benedict everywhere we go, this was seriously the best one I have ever had! ❤ I wanted to lick the plate clean and have seconds. My husband got lava shrimp and an Avocado omelet.
I’m going to say it was amazing as well because my husband didn’t want to share and there was not a crumb left. We will definitely be back. The bartender was helpful and was so kind to my kids who didn’t know what to order.”
Amanda W., June 2021

We just went to Down the Hatch a few days ago (that’s me in the tie-dye and Kayla cheersing me) and it was amazing as always. Live music and happy hour every day. The outdoor design that it’s always had is perfect for the current situation. I love that we can bring our dogs here. Down the Hatch is awesome. It’s rare that I go to Lahaina without stopping here for happy hour. Mahalo to everyone at Down the Hatch and Happy 2021!

Love this place!
We LOVE Down the Hatch on Front Street in downtown Lahaina. They have a killer open-air setup right in the middle of everything. The food is great, with the appetizers 15% off as you can see above. They also have live music and special events constantly so connect with them on Facebook for specifics on those. And yes friends, Down the Hatch was once featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives with Guy Fieri (if that makes you excited). Mahalo to Michael Loudermilk for getting us the updated happy hour information. The Maui Happy Hours team will see all of you at Down the Hatch for happy hour!
