• Pub • Simpson Bay

*No need for a reservation, but call if you have a large groupA true Caribbean dive bar with the attitude to match. It’s a place where high and low, locals and tourists, rub elbows and party the night away. Sit at the bar and hear stories told, some true and many not, from around the island and around the world. The “pour your own” happy hour is the best around. That’s right, you get the bottle, glass, mixer, and make you own drink. This is also one of the best-stocked bars on the island, with the usual suspects, as well some unusual ones. Also, the only selection of craft beers on the island, 100+ bottles and draft too. The kitchen makes some of the best casual bar food around. Family friendly most of the day and night, late night is definitely more suited for the “big kids”. The games are always on, they can get anything. You are guaranteed to have a good time no matter when you go.

Great location with the planes coming in overhead! Nice menu. We had the lobster pasta and pork chops. Both very good. Caesar salad was nice, not too garlicky. Service a bit slow to get our drinks but we’re in the islands!
