Inu Pool Bar
About
Tropical Sips Under the West Maui Sun
Perched overlooking the shimmering waters at The Westin Maui Resort & Spa, Inu Pool Bar offers an essential escape for those spending the day by the water in Lahaina. The atmosphere leans into a laid-back, open-air aesthetic where the sound of crashing waves competes with the rhythmic clinking of tiki mugs. It is the kind of spot where you can trade your shoes for sandals and let the trade winds dictate your pace.
Island-Inspired Refreshments
The menu centers on cooling, craft cocktails that lean heavily into local flavors—think fresh pineapple, guava, and premium island rums. Signature drinks often feature house-made syrups, providing a sharp contrast to the salt-heavy air. If you are hungry, the kitchen turns out approachable, elevated pool-side fare, ranging from crisp seasonal salads to substantial burgers designed to satisfy a post-swim appetite.
A Local Perspective
While the panoramic views of the Pacific are undeniably the main draw, be prepared for a lively, high-energy environment during peak hours. The space fills up quickly as the sun starts to dip toward the horizon, and while finding a prime lounge chair can occasionally feel like a competitive sport, the transition from midday sun to the golden hues of the late afternoon makes the effort worthwhile. It is a quintessential stop for resort guests and travelers looking to experience the classic Maui pool scene without leaving the heart of the Ka'anapali coastline.

Here’s the November 2025 menu for the Inu Pool Bar. First… this place is convenient if you’ve been hanging out on the beach or pool area. They have a covered seating area, full service bar, televisions for sports fans, and dine at the pool service or to go orders. For families with kiddos, they have a lot of choices including grilled cheese, grilled chicken breast, Mac n cheese, fried chicken fingers, and cheese pizza. For everyone else, they have island mixed plates, fresh caught seafood dishes, burgers, nachos, wings, and everything else you would expect at a barefoot walk-up bar. You can also charge to the room. We had the kalbi beef ribs, white rice, and macaroni salad and the nachos with pork, cheese sauce, tomatoes, jalapeños, onions, guacamole, and sour cream. It certainly pleased our appetites for a quick lunch and the kiddos sampled the children’s plates. On the next day, kids got a cheese pizza, we tried swordfish grilled, and wings.

The vegetable and tofu stir fry is excellent. The cauliflower had that wonderful, subtle charred flavor that comes from stir frying at high heat. The pizza from kid’s menu was pretty tasty as well. Overall they have decent vegetarian options. I’m pleasantly surprised how much better the food is here compared to the two neighboring Westins.

We had a big party for dinner (10 people). The good news is that everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food and drinks. The bad news is that the server was in a terrible mood. I don't think they get large parties that often. This is more of an upscale lounge for couples and small parties. I'm still giving four stars because the food is wonderful and the atmosphere is top notch. Great design that blends in perfectly with the surrounding pool area.
