Max’s is a passion project for owners Mark Sellers, founder of HopCat; Martin Cate, a James Beard award-winning author, bar owner and expert mixologist; and Gecko, a renowned Hawaii-based tiki and Polynesian artist.
A team of skilled tradespeople and artists, working in conjunction with local contractors, spent months transforming the historic three-story building into a tropical fantasy world. Max’s also features Sellers’s collection of mid-century and modern tiki artifacts— the largest collection of its kind in the world.
