3 Best Bars in St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands

This open-air seafood, sandwich, and burger eatery is the perfect place to dine, drink, and listen to talented local and off-island musicians who play at happy hour and into the evenings, especially on the weekends.

There's live toe-tapping tunes—from rock and reggae to blues and jazz—almost every night of the week in season starting at 8 pm at this lively venue. The beachfront stage, showing performances by local and visiting musicians, and the nearby bar serving burgers and frosty libations make this a perfect place to spend happy hour, watch the sunset, and jam into the night.

Folks like to gather here, a short walk from the ferry dock, where the sidewalk tables provide a close-up view of Cruz Bay action. There's live entertainment on weekends. American country music star Kenny Chesney sometimes stops by when he's on the island and sings a song or two.
