I just got back from St Maarten and found a great new pub called The Crazy Leprechaun.
It’s run by Carl Ashmore from Dublin. He came to St Maarten 6 years ago with 200 dollars in his pocket and a dream of starting a pub his dream finally came true. It’s a great place to mingle with local ex patriots and the only place you can get a proper pint. The pub is located in Philipsburg right across the street from Bobby’s Marina.

Thanks for the info. I'll be over there in another couple weeks and will have to check it out. I had no idea.

Going in May and will definately have to check this out. Staying on the French side but know I will be going shopping in Philipsburg. Sounds like a great place for lunch. How is the food? Any suggestions?
