Give Your Staff Some Love!

For many local businesses, it has been a tough year all around, but we all have something to celebrate. South Shore Tiki Lounge would like to extend an invitation for your business to host a holiday party for your employees no matter how large or small. It’s a great opportunity to show your employees your appreciation for their hard work.

Tikis Holiday Staff Party on Trilogy 2009

Some ideas to keep in mind when planning your event:

CASUAL HOLIDAY DINNER OR LUNCH: Sample menu might include mixed appetizers served family style and a variety of pizzas, plus 2 drink tickets per guest.

PAU HANA CHEER: We offer live music and happy hour specials from 4-6pm every day. Take off work early with your crew and get affordable drinks with a lively atmosphere on our outdoor lanai.

NIGHT OUT: There is dancing every night of the week starting at 10pm with DJs every night except Sunday. Treat your employees like VIPS and reserve tables and drink tickets.

No matter what you decide, it will go a long way to kicking off the new year right!

Best of Maui

Maui Time Weekly‘s Best of 2010 issue just hit the stands and we are stoked to have received not only so many awards, but mentions throughout the issue. Congratulations must first go out to the entire staff of Maui Time Weekly for putting together such a rad 3D issue. What an impressive accomplishment.

Congrats to Chef Danny Paquette for earning BEST LOCAL PIZZA for the first time! This is the one we really wanted and we are so excited to be recognized. We also received BEST PLACE TO DANCE for the first time. Considering we are the only place on Maui with a dancing every single night, we are glad people noticed. Sarah Stern is now the 2 time reigning BEST BARTENDRESS, and we also got runner up nods for Jake Morris for Best Bartender and Charissa Hernandez for Best Server.

Other wins worth mentioning: Thursday Happy Hour Musician Erin Smith won Best Female Musician, Monday night’s DJ Blast won Best Local Club DJ, runner up Twitter king Brendan Smith @ReqB won highlighting his running commentary on Tikis nightlife, and Ron Pitts won Best Local Artist who’s art adorned our Tiki Art Show.

Mahalo MTW readers for voting and supporting local businesses!

"I'm on a Boat" Staff Party

We closed the bar this morning for a little R&R with the staff. Our Triangle neighbor, Ambrosia, also joined to make for a great cast of characters on the trip. At 8am we set sail on Trilogy and could not have asked for a more beautiful day on Maui with clear skies, calm waters, and light wind. Luckily, we scored whale and dolphin sightings, then stopped at Molokini for snorkeling. We are blessed to live in such an amazing place and we all had a blast indulging ourselves, if only for the morning. Back to work!
