Look familiar....its now been renamed, same old building!!! p.s. those are two of our three kids we treated to a week in Negril a couple of years ago! Now we just wave good bye each February!!
Hey_Mon,
Cool, thanks!!! Looks identical except the name, What is across the street where the bar and restaurant used to be??? I thought the food, drink and vibes in there were awesome although there are some out there that don't share my enthusiasm. Really inexpensive food and drink (kingfish, with rice & peas was killer) with juke boxes full of roots reggae tunes. Yea it took a while til the food was ready but anybody that doesn't get soon come doesn't understand Negril and Jamaica for that matter.
Also known as the Chinamans Store - Good place to change Money later at night when the Cambio's are closed - They offfer prety good rates.
For how the Wharf Club looked 14 years, here is a Negril Today blast from the past!

While much has changed, much has remained the same in Negril for sure Johng. I honestly cannot bring to mind what is across the street from the old Wharf Club store, but if you are patient I will take a pic or two when we go down this February and post when we get back. I do remember the restaurant as well, and the store was one of the few places to get a box of 24 beer, usually complete with your very own pet cock roach, but my favorite was still the Rocky Dell in the West End. Gus and his "bubbly" personality...lol Hands down best conch soup imo and lobster with rice and bean and coleslaw...mmmmm. Go visit Gus still every time we go back as our friend Campbell lives just up the road from him. Still the same, just a little greyer!Quote:

Thanks everybody!!! Do any of you remember the Negril Yacht Club??? Used to be a payphone out front on the road. Had a big concrete patio that reached out into the water. Heavy coral and urchins but if one had shoes or flippers it was great snorkeling!!!
Had an upper deck for dinner, drinks, dancing, etc.. Really nice spot on the right side headed towards the West End from town. Never saw any yachts there but that is what it was called.
The Negril Yacht Club is now reopened.
Really. Thanks for the update!!! NYC in the same location as where it was before???
