This year I happen to be arriving in Negril on a Wednesday and on my 70th birthday at the same time. I tried to find happenings on the Calendar and Entertainment but couldn't figure out how to use it.
That's what I get for being a computer guy, Rob outsmarted me again!
I am looking for something like music or maybe even a free drink or meal on my birthday.
Can anyone help?
Peace and Guidance
I've been in Negril many times during my birthday, I never saw anyone offering free drinks or meals.
Or, are you asking for someone to take you out for dinner and drinks?
Ha Ha HarryS! You know, I never even thought about how that sounded until I just re-read it. Offers? Anyone? Didn't think so. No, I am a pretty solitary type of guy who is well comfortable paying my own way but I rarely turn down something for free either! ;)Quote:

Any help?

Hey Accompong,
hope you're doing good and Happy B-Day when it comes.
I arrive on a Wednesday too.
Most of the Barmaids/tenders are a good source of Info.
I just stroll and talk/inquire.
If you go down by the river, there was and still maybe the local Fish market.
They will weigh and sell the catch of the day.
I spend some days down at that area of the beach
and watch the local boats come and go during the day.
Not sure what time they close/stop selling.
Then, go over to "Qualities Restaurant" place across the road
from Canoe.
He will cook up anything you bring him.
(So I heard) never tried it.
But, I have heard rave reviews about Qualities on this board.

Health problems kind of keep me from rambling aimlessly around like I used to years ago. I am more of a "go to a place I like and hang out around there" kind of person.
I am just looking for a destination to hang out for good music and/or good food right now. My good friend Rasta Freddy eats only fish and vegetables so that narrows it down and I know a lot of good places for that but maybe a place to eat near a place to listen to music would be what I need.
I may look you up this time. I know where you stay and I stay out across from Primrose at Y Worry Cottage while in Negril before heading to Treasure Beach and back home in Accompong Town.

Drifters has the Music and food:
There is the road,
Bar/music area,
then the food place,
then the Beach.
All in one place.
Ya...except that Drifters isn't open at the moment...and definitely don't have shows on Wednesdays during slow season.Quote:

But, if we see you on your B'day...we'll be very happy to buy you that drink and cheer to many more (birthdays not drinks...well, maybe drinks also...lol).
October is a tougher time to find live music, particularly on a Wednesday...Pushcart offers music during their dinner hours.
OH, I didn't realize October was the month.
I do 2nd Pushcart for food and cocktails and music was playing.
La la la la la!
Can't remember if it was live or Memorex??

I am hoping to see you and Rob while I am there so perhaps we can meet either on my birthday or another time during November as I am there most of the month. Even though I don't drink much anymore, I would be happy to drink a free one from you!
So, is Drifters open in November and do they have live music on Wednesdays? This would be exactly what I am looking for. In fact, I might bring Marshall with me as he is a music lover of the Drifters era of music.
