Ras Rody (W.E.)
Sun Beach (Beach)
Howie’s (inland)

But I got thinking: What about Bars?!?!?
So much has changed since I was there last - Pickled Parrot gone
Negril Yacht Club gone
What are the must do Bars now?
( I'll go to Roots because my daughter has friends there - but where else?)

LTU Fridays
Mix of Ex-pats and usual suspects

Jungle. Thursday's
Ladies nite

Otherwise
You really can't go wrong by dropping all plans and going wid the flow

Have you eaten at Presely’s? Talked to him last year but didn't eat there. Just wondering what it's like.

Presley cooks? You mean I could've had food with my kung fu movies? Mind.blown. Details, please!

Chicago Julie,
Here's a snippet I read on Presley's:

While staying in Negril, we stumbled across Presley's (which is located just outside of the Rockhouse).

Presley's looks like most of the other little roadside "bars",...but what you don't know is that upon request, he will cook-up most anything you wish as long as it's Jamaican.
He requires a verbal reservation, and his word is his bond. He only cooks for a couple or two at a time,....so make your reservations as soon as he opens, approximately 8:00 a.m.

When you arrive that evening,...you will find that he has transformed his place into a private, romantic restaurant, just for you. On top of being your own private grill chef, he selects the freshest catches (per your request) from the local fisherman. The fresh (right of the garden) sidedishes are a taste treat in themselves.

And the price....he asks that you pay him "whatever you think is fair". He will have his Redstrip in the freezer for you (ours actually had ice crystals,...soooooo cold). If you prefer wine,...just let him know, because there are "No Problems" at Presley's Bar & Grill. It's the "Real Deal", a unique experience you will cherish forever. It's all about "Respect", great food and lots of laughter.

*We found that most Jamaicans wear several "hats",...Presley also provides inexpensive taxi services, guided tours, he will get you better prices on anything that you buy (and tell you what is fair) and don't forget to ask to see his garden,...he will climb his coconut tree or chop a stalk of sugarcane and happily share his Jamaican life with you. He will do whatever he can to help make your trip extraordinary!

Favorite Dish: Presley's well known for the grilled Lobster, Conche and Snapper. Presley's prides himself in the freshest local vegetables and ingrediants. His Jamaican approach to life and his menu makes you want to come back again and again.

Any suggestions on where to watch the NFL? looking forward to seeing the Packers whip Oakland.

We usually stop one day to see miss mae at Josephs cave.

LOL - haven't made it past Alfred's going east. Love those fat ass chairs.

Debar is indeed a great place to kick back. One night it was so late that one of Eddie's brothers gave me a ride back. Trevor? Eddie takes great care of you and the place is super chill.

I wish my neighborhood had an Eddie's.

Me too!!!

SeaStar has a great atmosphere for football, or so I am told. I am in Negril beginning on Wild Card Weekend!

Night games are great at Seastar on the big screen, but a little hard to see in the day. I was there on thanksgiving and we took a ride over to Margaritaville, most screens and best picture in Negril,just be ready for the $5.50 Redstripes! No limit has a flat screen with a good picture as well as the bar at Aqua.
