Reggae Bar

Cahuita


The place to be on Friday nights in Cahuita: anyone who's anybody in the expat community shakes their thang here as the rum and Red Stripe flow. Live music ranges from calypso to reggae until the DJs take over. The last Friday of the month is particularly lively.

Mains run between US$5.50 and US$12.50.
