You'll find the widest variety of places to eat on the south
coast, particularly at the crowded St Lawrence Gap, where
street vendors flogging jerk chicken jostle with punters heading for
the classy oceanfront restaurants.
St
Lawrence Gap is also the heart of south coast nightlife ,
with plenty of options, whether you want to see a band or hit the
dance floor.
Rockley and Worthing
Bubba's Sports Bar
Across from the Accra Beach Hotel tel 246/435-6217. The food
is secondary to the entertainment here, with large and small TV
screens dotted around the place showing sport from around the world,
but burgers, chicken and sandwiches are decent and well priced.
Daily10am-10pm. Carib Beach Bar next to the Crystal Waters
guesthouse. A lively place for a drink, especially during happy hour
from 5pm to 6pm, when you'll also get reasonably priced snacks
including spicy chicken wings, shrimp kebabs and fish cakes. Daily
11.30am-10pm.
St
Lawrence Gap and Dover
After Dark
St Lawrence Gap tel 246/435-6547. The late-night zone - a huge and
cleverly laid-out place with a dark disco and a massive stage and
dance floor out the back for the live bands who play a couple of
times a week. The bar - nearly 30m long - claims to stock every
liquor you can name, and the crowd is a good mix of Bajans and
tourists, all dressed to the nines. Cover charge varies. 10pm-3am.
Bean & Bagel
Dover tel 246/420-4604. Great coffee, all-day breakfasts of bagels,
pancakes and omelettes, muffins and tasty lunch options (lasagne,
crab backs and the like) have made this internet café something of
an institution for those staying at the eastern end of the Gap.
Daily 7am-5.30pm.

Café Sol
St Lawrence Gap tel 246/435-9531. Lively, often crowded Mexican
place doing a roaring trade in margaritas and Mexican beers,
particularly during the 6-7pm and 10-11pm happy hours; decent and
sensibly priced burritos, tacos and enchiladas are available. Daily
6-11pm.
Josef's
St Lawrence Gap tel 246/435-6541. Both the food and the service at
this elegant coral-stone restaurant are as good as you'll find on
the south coast, with candelit tables both indoors and (more
romantically) down by the water's edge. Starters run B$8-22 and
include soups, char-grilled shrimp and beef carpaccio; main courses
of blackened dolphin, roast chicken or rack of lamb start at B$35.
Daily 6-10pm, Dec-April also noon-2pm.
Reggae Lounge
St Lawrence Gap tel 246/435-6462. Intimate, unpretentious club with
a small bar up top and steps down to the open-air dance floor under
the palm trees. The DJs love to play the latest Jamaican dancehall,
but you'll also get "oldies" nights - Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Peter
Tosh - and live bands several times a week, usually Thurs and Sun.
Cover charge varies. 9pm-late.
Ship Inn
St Lawrence Gap tel 246/435-6961. English pub in style, with several
bars and a small, sweaty dance floor, with the most tourist-friendly
bands - reggae meets rap meets Marvin Gaye. There's music every
night around 10.30pm-12.30am and bands, and a big crowd, on Tues and
Sat 9pm-1am.

Whistling Frog Sports Pub
Dover tel 246/420-5021. Great new bar/bistro serving food all day,
from a buffet breakfast to lunch and supper of pepperpot stew or
seafood caesar salad (all around B$15), though many here simply hang
out with a drink watching sport on the TVs. Daily 7am-very late.
Oistins
The Bay Garden
Oistins Market. One of the most atmospheric places on the island,
with a dozen stalls offering a variety of seafood from conch
fritters to fried kingfish to dolphin. Prices are low: you'll be
hard-pressed to pay more than B$12 a head, and if you go into the
covered Fish Net area you'll find plenty of Bajans tucking
into equally good barbecued fish straight off the grill. Daily
5.30-10pm.
