The Negril Yacht Club Bar and Brown Sugar on the cliff road.
-
I second the Yacht Club. Man that old juke box was GOLDEN! Many a spicy beef patty found it's demise there as well. Another place that was wonderful in the day was the Negril Sands, somewhere about 1/2 way up the beach. Thatch bar on the beach, nice shady hammocks and a wonderful afternoon buffet in the middle of nowhere.
-
another vote for Pirate's Cave.
And whatever happened to change Kaiser's from the party place I heard about to how dead it is today? I still remember just going in to check it out and how weird the vibe was at the office..
-
Some of the places mentioned bring back many memories. The Hurricane Bar, when it was on the beach, had the best music around. The Mahogany Inn was probably the first place I dined on my first trip to Negril.
But the place I miss most is Negril Palm Beach Hotel, next to Charela. Great staff, great breakfasts!
-
Memories indeed! T-Water was a great place to hang out (Spike made a great fruit punch). Lindsay's Wharf Club for great food, cheap drinks and a very interesting clientele. Mrs Murphy's restaurant/bar/movies/pool table. Pete's Restaurant on the beach. Fisherman's Club (groceries/hardware/restaurant/bar/juke box/boxing matches, etc). Hurricane Bar on the beach, then on the cliffs, then near Green Isand (RIP Mark)

as with a lot of tourist towns, it doesn't take long for having just the lowest prices as the draw.....cant stay in business just by trading dollars.....
you must have something unique to stay in for the long haul...........
these are rough days ahead, a lot of places might drop off along the way........I hate to see that because they seem to get replaced by "big money" operations......................
Its a trend that is taking place all over the world sadly..................gonna be tough for Mom nPop's to survive...

Miss B,
If you liked the White Bird, Sis opened a small version of it in the west end. Josselin even gave her the sign from the old resort..

Even though we have been going to Jamaica since 1993 (honeymoon), we only made the switch to Negril in 2008, so I cannot comment about the old days, but if something ever happens to the Canoe Bar or the Red Dragon, I am going to be seriously depressed. Would not be a trip without several visits to both!!!

Re: Of all the Negril hotels and eats no longer around, which one do you miss the mos
I'm glad all the places I've stayed are still there and doing better than ever.
But for restaurants...I also miss the old Boat Bar and Serious Chicken.
I have some fond memories of times at the Yacht Club though I honestly never was that into hanging out there, same with the Pickled Parrot.
Very happy my favorite spot, 3 Dives, is still there and bigger than ever.

Re: Of all the Negril hotels and eats no longer around, which one do you miss the mos
Unless I missed it nobody's mentioned Paradise Yard. Loraine was a fantastic hostess and cook. She kept us alive our first trip to Negril. Couldn't handle the food at Villas Negril.

Re: Of all the Negril hotels and eats no longer around, which one do you miss the mos
Pete's for sure. Back in the early nineties, we stayed at yellow bird, when irene was there. If i remember correctly, we walked next door to sandy san, to a circular bar with the fresh bananas hanging from the ceiling. That bunch decreased in size quickly!! Then we would walk over to risky business for flaming bob marleys...those were the days!

Re: Of all the Negril hotels and eats no longer around, which one do you miss the mos
Its Mrs. CG again, I sure miss the Pickled Parrot and the Pirates Cave. The first time I swam into the cave I was scared witless and then the further we went then we came upon a bar! Well I relaxed soon and had a red stripe. The ladder that went up to the Pirates Cave was quite exciting too, I don't often find myself crawling through a hole in the ground but the reward was some of the best bloody caesars around. There also used to be an amazing Thai restaurant where the Love Nest is. Two people from England whipped up the best Thia food I have ever had using nothing but a hot plate and a rice cooker. There used to be a pretty good cook at Woopies for a while too.

Re: Of all the Negril hotels and eats no longer around, which one do you miss the mos
For eats - I miss Mrs. Murphys (especially for movie nights), the Wharf Club (for the best curried goat back in the early 80's and for the rather unique experience that was the Wharf Club late at night), Petes, and Mark's Hurricane Bar (first on the beach, then on the cliffs and later near to Green Island); and T-Water for breakfast.
For rooms - Sammy Grant's place between BarBBarn and DeBuss. Sammy controlled a property owned by a foreigner for a number of years in the 80's and early 90's) and had a few cabins plus camping. Sammy now has a small property in Orange Bay and still rents rooms with very basic accomodations, and I still visit him and his family on every trip.

Mmm Selina's...I also loved the Easy Rock Cafe...it moved around a lot but the one I fondly remember was on the water with a roof deck. That was back when you needed to go to a cafe to sit down and rent time on a computer in order to get online in Negril...
