Re: Pub Crawl Over Charging at some stops, Why ?
I've been hearing that the Pub Crawl bus has been passing on Bella Donna's lately, good news.
Seeing how I hear that's a relative's place I guess Lenbert is listening to the people.
The places on the "Pub Crawl" for the most part are charging there regular prices to all the crawl peeps.
That's the point, if you charge 200J or 300J everyday for your beer , fine.
Just don't jack up your prices when the bus pulls up.
Lenbert has worked hard to build the "Crawl" and makes a good buck for all his efforts. As it should be.
Taking care of his customers is very important part of this service.
This is a Great party , so hop on the bus , but be aware and keep Lenbert aware of any over charging of the Bus peeps.

As much as I like Bella Donna as a friend, I don't abide by the overcharging so I hope this does send a message to all the potential stops.
One thing I would like to add. Lenbert does respond to feedback (especially that with Jamaican Portraits like Nanny on the front!). If he gets good, positive feedback (as above) when you finish the crawl, he will work even harder to make it "irie".
I have to say that even though I rarely visit Negril, I would always put the Pub Crawl at the top of my list (just under Saturday Night at Seastar that is!).
Have a great time Stan and Betty!
Peace and Guidance
Re: Pub Crawl Over Charging at some stops, Why ?
Hey Stan and Betty hope you are both well, caught you at the Seastar, great show, our first pub crawl and the 2nd bar we visited we were overcharged, plus they had no ice and no limes, our 2nd pub crawl was better, I agree if Lembert is now skipping that bar maybe they will have second thoughts about charging $5 for a red stripe.
Re: Pub Crawl Over Charging at some stops, Why ?
We had an awesome time on the Pub Crawl, but.... There were two stops along the way, PeeWee's and Jenny's that tried (and succeeded) to screw people over when converting the price from JMD to USD. It happened to our friends and another couple at Jenny's. They tried it with me, the look on the girls face when I corrected her was "priceless" I also corrected the bartender at PeeWee's when he tried to add on an extra $3.. I let Lenbert know as well.
Such a shame... Word will spread, and pretty soon the bus won't be stopping at these places.. All of the other stops we made were fantastic!!!
We will definitely do the pub crawl again the next time we are in Negril!
Re: Pub Crawl Over Charging at some stops, Why ?
The Pub Crawl bus has become so huge that Lenbert should like make his Own bars for the crawl and then like it will turn into his Own town and then like he will have elections for Mayor and like Sheriffs in the town of Pub Crawl on the West End ????
Just a thought.
Re: Pub Crawl Over Charging at some stops, Why ?
A note about PeeWees - nice guys, but one of the bartenders will play games with the exchange rates, and try to "tell" you that you are buying him a beer. Don't go for it if you don't want to. To them I think it's a game, as in "lets see what we can get away with"... Otherwise I like the bar and the location, just don't take any crap from them and they'll treat you well.
Was able to make an "off-menu" purchase here that was quite good, from one of the locals who was hanging out, wish I could remember his name, began with a C. The bartender also has these off-menu items, and it's wasn't bad either but he's the middleman, takes your money and comes back later.

Re: Pub Crawl Over Charging at some stops, Why ?
I was on the pub crawl today (Wed May 08) - Lenbert made sure to address the crowd to be aware of the price they were being charged and that a $5 beer was NOT acceptable.
I have an issue now with Xtabi and their price on bottled water. I know that prices vary form place to place and the most that I expect to pay for a 500ml bottle of water is 200 J - xtabi charged me 220 J - I gave the bartender 300 J and never received change. 80 J is not a big deal but the principal is! At least come by and offer me my change - this never happened. 300J for a small bottle of water is NOT cool. Lenbert is aware of the issue and I for 1, will never drop another cent at Xtabi.
Do not assume that my change is a tip.

Oh LORD, you will never go to Xtabi over $20J? LOL. Xtabi, I promise to make up which you lost from Tawnee going forward. Xtabi is one of the best values on the Best End. They are very accommodating to all outside guest.

$20J or $80J, I have your back Lembert
