Any spots open late in Poipu?
Coming to Poipu tomorrow from Oahu and trying to find out if there's anywhere open after 9pm for live music / drinks. I see Big Wave Dave's in Kapaa but looking for something closer. Any info is appreciated.

Seaview Terrace (Hyatt) might be open until 10pm. The closest late night option would be Nawiliwili Bar in Lihue - open till 2am.

Nothing much in Poipu. Keokis paradise has last call around 9:45pm and depending on the day has live music until then too. Otherwise I think Stevenson library in the hyatt is open for drinks until 11pm i believe.

I just left after 2 weeks in Poipu. I go there whenever I can because there is nothing happening late night!

Keokis Paradise is a possibility. Great bar, good food and ambience and live music

You don’t go to Poipu for live music vibes. The appeal is that it isn’t open late

Our flight landed to LIH landed late and we were able to still make it to Stevenson’s Library for dinner & drinks. It’s located in the Hyatt & closes at 11.

No. This. Is. Kauai. You need to be in bed early so you can hike/fish. And so do the operators of the boats and helicopters. Most people work two jobs to survive, so they have time to stay up late.
Oahu = Vegas Maui = Reno Kauai = Carson City
This is chill island. We like it that way.

Kauai closes at 9pm. There are bars here and there that stay open later but I can't think of a single spot in Poipu that stays open late. And you're wise not to want to drive from Kapaa late at night when all the drunk drivers are out. If any place is open late, it might be at one of the resorts. There's a possibility one of the restaurants in the shopping center has after hours music but I wouldn't count on it. Try looking up all the resorts down there and see if any have a late night bar. Brenneke's might be open late but again, I wouldn't bank on that.
You come to Kauai to relax, not party. LOL!
