Pineapple Robot

My friends and I went here to sing almost every night when we visited Maui. Such a fun place to drink, sing, and dance. We met Chong who treated us like family. So grateful for his hospitality and finding those awesome spot. Chong, if you’re reading this and you ever find yourself in Cleveland, OH please hit up Patrick so we can take you out to our “Pineapple Robot”.

Had so much fun. The bouncer was so nice. He played a prank on us, but he was so cute and he was so nice. He knew us well. He could read us well and he was such an awesome, we were there on St. Patrick’s Day. We don’t know his name, but he was really cool and we want to give him thanks,

Oh Pineapple Robot/Pizza Paradiso or as our group lovingly called it..Magic Hippo because we cannot seem to get names straight...what a memorable place. As Vegas locals used to a very prolific nightlife, coming to Maui and realizing this is the latest bar that is opened was a bit of a shocker, but what a pleasant surprise it was. The food? Outstanding! The drinks? Sublime! The karaoke? (every night btw) spectacular! We were only supposed to pop by to check it out once, but ended up there 80% of the nights on our little girly vacation. What made the place our favorite spot to hang, though, were the people. From the staff manning the bar (who all made some pretty delicious spicy margaritas), to the local patrons that we quickly befriended, as well as the visitors like us who just managed to traipse in not knowing what to expect, there was never a night where we felt unwelcomed. Come by with an open mind and friendly vibes and I swear you will have the best time and meet some of the best people on the island! 10000/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you for being a major highlight during our time visiting Maui 🤍🤍

Looked up local bars in Maui and found this gem down the road. A pizza place first that opened a bar after Lahaina fires for a new late night option. Very friendly staff! Shout out to bartender, Manuel. We had pizza by the slice instead of whole pizza, appetizer, and a lot of fun drinks in themed cups. They make gelato onsite. In the morning they do coffee and Japanese Pancakes! I wish we could have tried the pancakes the menu made it look amazing 😍. After 9pm it's nightlife. Sunday is trivia and the other nights karaoke.

No Aloha. Steer clear in the afternoon/evening. We came in the morning for coffee (it was good) and met the wonderful Nelda (spelling?) and had a lovely experience. We decided to come back in the afternoon for happy hour where the male bartender (maybe having a bad day?) was VERY cold and could not be bothered. We asked a few questions about the drink options and it was like pulling teeth to get an answer. I ordered the espresso martini ($10 as noted on menu in pic) but he said it was $11.50 when ringing it up. Said it was for breakfast and he couldn’t honor the price (not noted anywhere). Food took about 25mins and there was only one other customer. No plans to return after our interactions with the not helpful bartender.

The drinks are very unique here. A lot of the drinks come in funny containers or tiki glasses (which are available to purchase). We tried a few drinks, including the whiskey wifi disconnect, the pixalate my pony, the tech mex, and r2cheeehooo. The decorations were cute especially for Halloween. There was a skeleton holding the spam mail drink which comes in and old spam can. They also had a giant pineapple shaped disco ball above the bar. We did not order food but it is attached to pizza paradisio, so you can get food from there as well. This is one of the few spots in Lahiana that is open late. Between 9pm and 1am they have karaoke except Sunday nights which is Trivia. Fun place to unwind after a day adventuring in Maui. The atmosphere is a little loud but tolerable. Our bartender was fun to talk with. Service speed was moderate but there were quite a few people at the bar. Prices were pretty average for the area for specialty cocktails. Overall, a decent place to grab a drink and meet new people.

Bartenders were amazing, made amazing drinks. That's about where the good ends. I get a bar is not responsible for how people act, and people are going to fight. But we witnessed not one, but three seperate fights because they wouldn't kick the people out who were fighting. They let in two guys, who they were aware were issues, because they kept telling him to not cause issues this time. One of those two guys proceeded to touch himself and touch under women's dresses throughout the night. I reported it to the door security, which to his credit he tried to stop it, but another fight broke out. It only stopped when I started physically pushing him and yelling at him to get away from us. I had to grab a staff member, and demand he get kicked out because me and several others were trying to fight with him because he wouldn't stop touching people. They finally kicked him out, and the police were called. To the two staff I talked with, they did their best to their credit. They did want the guy gone. The other issue is the owner and one of the table staff, were dumping out entire full drinks. If someone had walked away to sing, your drink is getting dumped and you will not be reimbursed. They say too bad, shrug, say nothing can be done. Bye $15 drink. I also understand wanting to make sure people are of age, but checking my wristband three times is absolutely over the top. Overall, drinks were fantastic, bartenders were amazing. Security tried but there was too many fights. Owners will dump your drinks and make you buy more.

We ordered a pizza to go. Truffle mushroom. Was very tasty. Loved the thin crispy crust. Hard to believe it was close to $40 but everything in Maui is crazy expensive. Seems like fun bar with nightly activities. They were just getting started on karaoke when we left. That looked like a lot of fun.
