Of all the Negril hotels and eats no longer around, which one do you miss the most?

When was the Wharf Club Bar & Restaurant last in business?? And what is there now?? How about the Wharf Club Store which was across the street??

Also does anybody remember the Bread Basket Bakery located in the Villa's Plaza??

We enjoyed the Pickled Parrot too and miss that, but our every trip included a lunch or dinner at Buddy's Beach Bar at Wild Parrot on Long Bay. It's not always easy to get a really good Margarita in Jamaica. but my wife LOVED the Margaritas there! The Fish Tacos were the best in Negril for my money. Wild Parrot is no more, and I have not stopped in since the new management took over there but when I stagger past there next trip I will! Anyone have any info what what is located there now, and how it is for lunch?
Thanks!

Kaisers Cafe , Pickled Parrot and For Real Bar.

The Wild Parrot has reverted back to Sunquest Cottages. If there is even a restaurant there at all, the menu must be minor because I didn't notice any activity there on my past few trips. When Buddy's Beach Bar was there, the owners brought in an accomplished chef from the US (Philadelphia, actually) to create that awesome menu comprised of fresh ingredients that can only be found in Jamaica. Sadly, the original owners took over from the folks that were running Wild Parrot, and now Buddy's is no more.

The Original "Norma's" for dinner.................and Sherita's for Breakfast.............

Saw the mention of Miss Sonias for patties. I heard her kids were running it? Is it still open? or did we lose another favorite?

Last time I was there, Sonia was there, but her grandson Brian was doing the cooking.

Pickled Parrot, Kaisers,23/7, Petes and all the little bars up in Red Ground were sometimes you would not make it down to the beach for weeks at a time.

First time we we met Miss Sonya was in 1988 her place was on the beach. We used to eat there almost every day. In the mourning we would go get fresh orange juice.her husband would cut 17 oranges and juice them to fill a rum bottle no sugar added

Where is Miss Sonias?

across the street from Rooms

I loved the Rocky Dell which was across from Tensing Pen back in the day...Gosnell(sp) ran the place and had solid, well priced food...It would probably take an hour or more to get the food but it was worth the wait!

Sheritas! And the great Canadians who came every year with their own BAND to add to the good food and lovely surroundings!

I am surprised that nobody mentioned Gino's at the Mariposa. When Gino was running that place it was hands down the most elegant in Negril. Malcolm the waiter was trained by Gino and could have worked in the finest restaurants in the States. The Marlin carpaccio killed.

Miss Lenas the way it was when she was still alive. Its now called Donaldsons Inn and ran by the same family and a wonderfull place to stay on the beach but i miss the old wooden cabins and the feeling like you are part of the family. Miss Lena was such a wonderfull person who always made sure you felt at home and were taken care of. Also miss the Pickled Parrot, it was a great spot to spend the afternoon

Anyone remember a bar called the Horse Lips? I went there my very first trip and had a blast. It was the first time i did mushrooms and i dont exactly remember where it was but i am thinking very deep in the west end because it was quite far frrom the beach.

It may have seemed deep West End on mushrooms...lol...but it was located on Summerset Lane by the Banmark Cambio.

Lol thanks for clearing that up Bnewb. It was many years ago and was a very blurry day and i never did make it back there again

I'm down with Pickled Parrot and the old (Chuck and Donna's version) Negril Yacht club (my first trip in '98).
My ex did the rope swing off the Pickled Parrot cliffs, she wound up with suit bottom really jammed up and since she'd bruise like a banana, her lower extremities looked pretty rough for a couple days - one of the reasons I'm not a cliff diver.

ocean edge
pickled parrot
de buss
and i miss just natural's old location

Unfortunately I have to put Hungry Lion in this list.
