*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.

The dinner we had was prefixe due to the Christmas holiday on Dec 25. Each course was beyond delicious with healthy size portions. The choices included all the protein categories and vegetarian. We took a cab so not sure about the parking situation but didn't notice a lot. Our waiter David, was prompt, polite, and a great server. The only surprise was the additional restaurant cost to the bill (before the tip). Would def go back for a special occasion.

Great location on Maho. We saw planes land while enjoying our meal. The wait staff was excellent, so friendly and attentive. The live singer was really good, we forgot she was singing live at times and thought it was recorded music. The wait for food wasn’t your normal “island time”, it was quicker. The food itself was good, but not the best we had on the island, but the staff and atmosphere makes up for it.

We enjoyed our food. Our waiter was very personable and competent. The food was good and enjoyed by the 4 of us. The chicken wings were tasty but not what we re used to. They were very big and lacked crispness. We like them on the smaller side.
