The Best Happy Hour in Wailea-Makena: Cocktails, Views & Pizza at Manoli’s

Pizza

When it comes to Wailea-Makena happy hours, few places capture the island vibe quite like Manoli’s Pizza Company. Overlooking the lush Wailea Blue Golf Course with sweeping sunset views, Manoli’s offers more than just great pizza — it’s the perfect spot to unwind with friends, sip handcrafted cocktails, and enjoy one of Wailea-Makena’s longest happy hours every day from noon to 5pm.

A Happy Hour with a View

Nestled just steps from the Shops at Wailea, Grand Wailea, Wailea Beach Resort, Residence Inn by Marriott Maui Wailea, Manoli’s is an open-air restaurant that blends laid-back island charm with casual sophistication. Guests love the relaxed atmosphere and panoramic views of the golf course — especially as the sun sets and the sky glows golden over South Maui.

As one reviewer shared, “Best pizza in the area. Great open-air restaurant with view of the golf course and sunset.” It’s no wonder both locals and visitors keep coming back for happy hour drinks and dinner with a view.

Sip Island-Inspired Cocktails

Behind the bar, the team serves up a full range of beer, wine, and signature cocktails that pair perfectly with Maui’s tropical evenings. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic Mai Tai, a refreshing Lilikoi Lemonade, or something sparkling and light, you’ll find the ideal drink to complement your meal.

Guests rave about the friendly bartenders — “Great bartenders, great for happy hour!” — and attentive service that keeps the atmosphere lively but never rushed.

Small Plates, Big Flavor

Happy hour at Manoli’s isn’t just about drinks — it’s about great food, too. The menu includes everything from shareable bites to full entrées made with fresh, local ingredients.

Favorites include the Shrimp Scampi, Caesar Salad, and pizza by the slice, all part of the daily happy hour specials. One recent guest shared, “We stopped in after a morning at the beach for their daily Happy Hour specials… everything was cooked to perfection and DELICIOUS! We will definitely be back and highly recommend!”

If you’re looking for something heartier, try pairing your drink with one of Manoli’s signature pizzas, pastas, or Jaxson’s burger.

Perfect Pairings: Pizza & Cocktails

Looking for the perfect match? Try these local favorites:

  • Hawaiian Honey + Lilikoi Lemonade: Sweet, tropical honey meets the bright, tangy lilikoi for a refreshing, island-inspired sip.
  • Shrimp Scampi + Chardonnay: The rich, buttery notes of Chardonnay enhance the garlic–lemon sauce on the shrimp, creating a smooth, luxurious pairing.
  • The “Raging Bull” All Meat + Local IPA: Bold, savory meats and rich cheese balance the hoppy bitterness of the IPA for a flavor-packed pairing.
  • Pepperoni Pizza + Rhonda’s Famous Mai Tai: Spicy, salty pepperoni meets a sweet, tropical cocktail for a fun, unmistakably Hawaiian twist.

Relax, Refresh & Stay Awhile

Manoli’s is all about easy island dining — whether you’re coming straight from the beach, looking for a post-golf drink, or winding down after a day of exploring Maui. It’s one of the few spots in Wailea-Makena that combines great food, handcrafted cocktails, and incredible views — all without the resort prices.

One guest summed it up perfectly: “Wow — ambiance, service and food. The scene at sunset was stunning and the drink was fabulous. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
