good morning folks
can anyone confirm if bar b barn is open?
Closed. Had been posted as reopening November 15th but didn’t happen. As of two days ago employees had no information and as you can imagine were upset over no job. To make things worse NO ANGELAS PIZZA.
I walked through the Bar-B-Barn property from beach to road in early October. Sadly, it was looking rough, and the reviews on trip advisor confirm a deterioration of conditions in the guest rooms when it was open. Back in the day Bar-B-Barn was a thriving place, quite pleasant with bright paint and beautiful garden path.
I hope the small hotels of Negril can survive in this day of mega-resorts in Negril. Many "oldtimers" remember the small hotels being built, and now, sadly see the decline of some, if not many of them. If the small hotels can't survive, then the Negril I know and love will be lost.
I agree with you there. I love staying at the Golden Sunset. It is an small, older hotel but really feels like home when I am there. Ray Arthurs owns it and his brother owns Alfred's across the road. The location is fantastic - close to towm and the "action" on the beach.Quote:

Bar B Barn was the first place I stayed in Negril.
Big Norm was cooking and running things.
It was my base camp on the beach for last 18 years.
I will be there tomorrow.
I heard you could buy it for a cool 1.3 million... ;)

No sign of life besides squatters
I read on another Negril forum that it was for sale and that the sale fell through. So sad.Quote:

Miss Chef Norm’s cooking
Was the BEST chef in Negril
no more Bar B Barn.......mi use to stay next door at Miss Mary's in the 80's.......
couldn't afford Bar B Barn back in the day as it was $55US/night and Miss Mary's was $18US
eventually someone will get it back up and running.....but it won't be this Winter
Cool Runnings, Marko
Norm was the best! Cold (inexpensive) buckets of beer and great food. Even gave us a ride back to the cliffs after dinner one night. Great guy!
