Looking for some more info on this....where does it leave from and end up at? How much does it cost?
I'm glad you posted this...I just posted for more info on Negril boardies n FB. This seems like something that would be lots of fun but I want more details especially cost and what bars to they go to.
I have one word for you guys. GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's great! Rob and Lisa do this. I am sure they will correct my errors on this, God Bless them! We went in late June, and it is amazing. Probably mostly on account of because Rob and Lisa are so amazing ... but I digress. Back in June, they started from different points each week. The whole idea is to let you see and savour different bars, restos, businesses, shops in the West End. It is great fun! They stop at 5 or 6 places along the way - differs each week - so you can actually stop at the places you see along the way. I can't remember all of the ones we stopped at (we went twice, & we went to a fab little country bar (I KNOW! In Jamaica??) and all kinds of fun places on the West End. We stopped at one place just beyond Rick's called a bunch of names I dont recall but LSU is one of them - Aubie makes THE greatest burgers! - for sunset (FAR better than Rick's!!) and we stopped at 3 Dives once. It doesn't cost anything to take the pub crawl, but be reasonable! Tip the driver; the webcasters. I believe it is on Wed.'s, so tell your family and friends to log in and see you partaying in Jamaica! Wave hello! They take you to fab places (the driver (help me out, Bewb! I forget his name) that you see as you drive by, but never get around to actually going to! It's great fun! You meet great people - probably a few Boardies you have met on line). It's a wonderful, fun way to spend an afternoon. You stop long enough for a drink at each place (if you want; no pressure!) with friendly people. You will find places you will remember forever. You get to connect with people you have seen on the message board, while exploring what the West End has to offer. The big Bonus is you get to piss off everyone at home because you are THERE and they are here! I think it's one of the most brilliant ideas to come out of Negril since the beach and Red Stripe! Promise me you will go. I GUARANTEE you a great and memorable time, with people you will love visiting places you will forever be glad you experienced. AND it will make you want to go back. Once you go, you know!
Here are the basics...

I tried to take the bus last February. We called the number, but were told that they didnt give tours that week. The bus would be up and running again the day after we flew home... I really want to do it this year. How far ahead do we need to call or email?
Jody,
The One Love Drive Shuttle Bar Crawl was started just a couple months ago. This is a relatively new event and was not being offered back in February.
Each week Bnewb makes a post letting people know what is happen - here was last week's post:
"Please remember to tune in to realnegril.com this Wednesday (today) for yet another exiting bar crawl
starting at 3pm!
For free pick up - please call: Love Bus@ 874 6631 or email: bananaznegril@hotmail.com
Or Rob @ 423-5479 or pm us!
ONE LOVE BUS...always a blast!!"
Lenbert replied to my post on FB so I've emailed him.
I will be doing this in December as long as certain bars/restaurants aren't on the list. It sounds like lots of fun!
I attended this last week and had a great time. It's a must do on your next trip to Negril.
Planning on doing this while we are there in Nov. Looks like that would be Nov. 2. Looking forward to it. Something new for us to try out this trip. And a great way for Bea's Mom & our newbie friend we are bringing to get to see some of the West end.
Rob,
Is it possible that this bus tour has existed in the past, but just not in its present incarnation? I've seen the brightly colored bus for the last couple of years. It may not have been a "bar crawl", but it was a tour of the West end. It took me a year to find out how to contact them. Last Feb, I actually had the front desk at Rooms call them. They got an answer, and were told that the bus wasnt running that week. Dont think I was dreaming...
I think the bus begins picking people up along the beach at around 2:00, beginning at the North end along Bloody Bay. Call ahead to let them know you'll need a ride, but I assume you can flag them down as they approach on the road. How can you miss that bus! It reminds me of the Partridge Family! My wife and I hope to be on the bus December 14, assuming sand gravity doesn't take over.
There are so many concerns and questions on the board, which I shared until I went last year. Don't worry. Rob takes care of you and keeps it fun. It's safe, fun and unforgettable... excepting the parts that are a little fuzzy thanks to rum punches. The bus picks up folks at many resorts and then gets you to some of the out of the way bars along the cliffs. Some are better than others, but it is just a remarkable experience. We sang, laughed, explored some really cool little bars. Support local businesses, meet some nice Jamaicans and travelers, buy some local delicacies. My god it was fun. Thank you Rob. Tip the driver $20US+, it's worth it. (Bring some Jamaican cash, it's easier than trying to calculate conversion rates after a few) I still tell the story a year later. DO IT. Rob, I wish I had the guts to do what you did and move down there, but can't thank you enough for the best part of my Negril vacation.;)
We did this in November and loved it! (Hi Johio!) We will be doing in again in March when we will be back with all of our kids. Lenbert picked us up at the resort at 2:20 and we got back around 7:00. There we 8 stops on the tour and non of them felt rushed. Be sure to tip Lenbert well. He works on tips.
