Esters Fair Prospect in Wailuku is the ultimate laid-back cocktail haven, blending craft cocktails, small bites, and stunning IAO Valley views.
"Two friends launched this tiny tiki bar far off the tourist path in Wailuku. After a stroll around town to see the truly exceptional street murals, take a seat on the patio and sip on a tropical libation served in a ceramic mermaid cup. The Surf and Go Naked is a liquid slingshot of gin, liliko‘i juice, and IPA caramel, while Mercury in Retrograde mixes mezcal with absinthe and a pineapple-coconut shrub. Hit up happy hour, when the barkeeps pour classic daiquiris for $8. Tasty bar snacks include fresh guacamole and charcuterie with prosciutto, triple cream, and pineapple jam." - Shannon Wianecki, Bill Addison
"For a tropical cocktail bar that doesn’t feel touristy, head to the commercial area of Wailuku and you’ll find Esters Fair Prospect, a cozy space decked out with rattan furniture and anglerfish wallpaper. There’s a short menu of oysters and ceviche, but you’re here for the tiki drinks. We’re talking about cocktails like the Mercury in Retrograde, with mezcal, Aperol, a pineapple-coconut shrub, lime, and absinthe. Naturally, you’ll also find a long list of rums." - martha cheng, team infatuation
