Charley’s Bar and Restaurant has been a Paia landmark since 1969. Charley’s restaurant is popular with locals and tourists stopping on the road to Hana thanks to its great breakfasts and famous woofer burgers. Unfortunately, the restaurant had to shut its doors for the last few weeks as a fire ripped though the bar area on Christmas Eve. Crews have been working diligently to clean and repair the structure. As of a couple of days ago, the restaurant is back open. The bar will likely open in another one to two months as repairs and remodel work continues. Charley’s is located right across Hana Highway from the Jim Sanders Office. After you have had a good meal at the restaurant head across the street and pop your head in our office to say hi!
