Barbados
On the West Coast--A lot of
the evening entertainment around here revolves around the big resorts, all of which have
lovely bars and many of which host bands and beach parties in the evening.
Some say the green-and-white Coach House, Paynes Bay (on
the main Bridgetown-Holetown road, just south of Sandy Lane, about 6 miles north of
Bridgetown), St. James (tel. 246/432-1163), is 200 years old. Attracting mostly
visitors, this is a Bajan version of an English pub, with an outdoor garden bar. From 6 to
10:30pm, you can order bar meals, including flying-fish burgers, priced at $8 and up. Most
nights, there's live music--everything from steel bands to jazz, pop, and rock, attracting
an attentive crowd from 9pm on. The lunchtime buffet, offered Monday through Friday ($14),
is popular.
* John Moore Bar, on the waterfront, Weston, St. James
(tel. 246/422-2258), is the most atmospheric and least pretentious bar on Barbados.
It's the nerve center of this waterfront town, filled throughout the day and night with a
congenial group of neighborhood residents, with a scattering of foreigners. Most visitors
opt for a rum punch or beer, but you can order up a platter of local fish as long as you
don't mind waiting.
Head for Upstairs at Olives, Holetown, St. James (tel. 246/432-2112),
where you can order excellent drinks while seated in an atmosphere of potted palms and
old-fashioned ceiling fans that's straight out of Casablanca. |
