Maui, Hawaii is a paradise for beach lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, but it’s also a great place for sports fans to catch an NFL or college football game. Here are some of the best places to watch NFL football in Maui, Hawaii, in alphabetical order.
Where can I watch NFL football on Maui?
Amigo’s Mexican Restaurant – Kahului, HI and Kihei, HI
Amigo’s makes the list, not because they have a lot of TV’s or have NFL Sunday Ticket (they don’t). But you will find a welcoming atmosphere, whatever the most-requested, regularly-televised NFL game of the day is on the TV’s, a nice crowd of laid-back locals, and friendly service. Depending on the kickoff time, you may also be able to take advantage of their excellent happy hour specials.
Diamonds Bar & Grill – Kihei, HI
Diamonds Bar & Grill is in the top 3 island-wide for places to watch football and other sports. Diamond’s has 25+ high definition TV’s, NFL Sunday Ticket providing every available game, as well as billiards, darts, and great drink specials. I recommend getting there early to secure your spot, especially when West Coast teams who have a large fan base in Hawaii, such as the Seahawks, Raiders, or 49’ers, are playing. And did I mention they have a great happy hour at Diamonds?
Dollies Pub & Cafe – Kahana, HI
Dollies Pub & Cafe in Kahana, HI, is a beloved destination for NFL fans, especially on Sundays when the doors open bright and early at 7am for the football games. Boasting 15 TVs, including two large-screen plasmas, and a satellite dish, Dollies ensures no one misses out on any gridiron action. The atmosphere during the football season is electrifying, with each game drawing a lively crowd of locals and visitors alike. The daily double happy hours and some of the island’s best pizza add to the allure, making Dollies not only a great venue for catching the NFL action but also a fun place to unwind and enjoy some good company alongside good food.
Gilligan’s Bar & Grill – Kihei, HI
Located on the Maui Nui golf course, Gilligan’s Bar & Grill has awesome TV coverage, a big outdoor space in addition to the comfortably air conditioned inside, and some of the best ocean and golf course views on Maui. They are located on Lipoa Drive in Kihei in an elevated spot near the Maui Brewing Company. And if you stay long enough after the day games, check out Gilligan’s Maui happy hour.

Kahales Maui’s Local Dive Bar – Kihei, HI
Kahale’s Maui’s Local Dive Bar in Kihei is a legendary spot for those looking to enjoy a casual and local atmosphere while watching NFL games. It is located at the Barmuda Triangle in Kihei, the cluster of local bars known as the center of the nightlife scene there. Drink prices are reasonable and, since they do not sell food other than chips and snacks, patrons are welcome to bring a pizza or some takeout to enjoy there. But please be forewarned, the owner Katie is a Dallas Cowboys fan. View the Kahale’s Maui happy hour specials.
Kahului Ale House – Kahului, HI
Kahului Ale House is a well-loved spot located at 355 E Kamehameha Ave, Kahului, HI 96732.

It is often considered a Raiders bar due to the high number of Raiders fans that gather there to watch the games. LAB, as it is known by Maui locals, is a rowdy, high-energy bar on game day Sundays. Enjoy their delicious (and cheap!) tacos, their affordable happy hour specials, and their almost-every-night Karaoke.
Moose McGillycuddy’s – Kihei, HI
Known as “Moose’s” or “The Moose”, Moose McGillycuddy’s is a legendary sports bar located on the south side of Kihei on the 2nd floor above its sister restaurant, Fred’s Mexican Cafe. Moose’s features an array of sports memorabilia and fun wall decor that remind me of a 1990s era Applebee’s, in a good way. As one of the top sports bars in Kihei, I recommend getting there early to get a good seat and definitely call ahead if you are with a large group. Stay for the evening time and enjoy one of the best sunset views from a bar on Maui. And of course, check out their Moose’s Maui happy hour specials.
