Brennecke’s World Famous Mai Tai…A Legend in it’s Own Mind


Location: Brennecke's Broiler, Poipu

1. Presentation : Reddy-orange instead of golden yellow, nondescript glass, thick dark rum layer on top. Skimpy pineapple, no umbrella (in the first round).
Score : 3

2. Flavour : Unusual Planters-Punch type flavour. Yummy but not our idea of how a Mai Tai should taste.
Score : 2

3. Location Ambiance : Blue and white themed sports bar. The open-air deck and warm sea breezes were lovely but this spot lacked any particular Hawaiian feel. Nevertheless, we were the last to leave…at 9:30. (Poipu’s not exactly a party town)
Score : 2

4. Psychomotor Effect : Slow onset but extremity and facial numbness and impaired thought processes obvious after two. Thankfully, we’re staying close by so managed to walk home without incident.
Score : 3

5. Server Enthusiasm : Efficient and sort of friendly.
Score : 2

6. Cost : $6.95, so not bad value.
Score : 2

Overall Score : 3 minus
Brennecke’s also features a high octane Mai Tai. A repeat visit may be in order.

  1. Glad you made it Mai Tai land. Regarding the Mai Tai comparisons, they're nice enough to read, but I for one would love to have a bit more background on the testers and the locations of the trials. Where is Brenneke's anyway?

    PS: Could you send me info on how much to feed the dogs.
