I hope you guys can help me. My husband and I were in Negril 10 years ago and came across a very cool bar one night. If I remember correctly we had walked towards the cliffs from Treehouse Inn and this bar was so close to the water and seemed like it was literally inside a tree. Admittedly, we had already had a few drinks and it was quite dark outside. But, I would love to be sure we visit this place again when we return in March. Any idea what this place could have been?
Sounds like Tony's Bar....at the Gatehouse.
More than 10 years ago, Dr Bills?
I think Dr Bills went away in 2002
We were at CoCo in June of 2002 and the new resort was going up in it place.
If my memory is correct?
Well if it had t-shirts hanging from the ceiling, I'd say it was Tony's. Else, it could be the Woodstock bar?
Woodstock was not built yet....Quote:

A definite possibility...Quote:

Looked up boat bar...it was definitely not that...
The old For Real is a possibility where Sandy Haven is now. Wasn't the center of the bar an old tree? That and very near to the water.
For Real, a good possibility. Stayed there many years,,,,just can't remember when Sandy Haven opened up?
Does sound like the old For Real bar. That was always a happening place. Sandy Haven I think opened in 2012. Always was an interesting cast of characters there.
24/7 or was it 23/7 ?Quote:

Kuyaba...though it's mostly a restaurant...they have loads of nice surrounding woodwork & swings at their bar.
But, it does sound like it may be the old For Real bar.
It kinda sounds like Kuyaba. It is kinda like a tree house .

This is Tony’s Hut in 2011,
Could it be the place?
Kuyaba is what came to my mind. Not built in a tree, though.
Most certainly the old ForReal (now Sandy Haven). It's only about 5 minutes down the beach from Treehouse. The old bar had a tree painted yellow in the middle of it. Bartenders were Maureen and Robert (now at Sunnyside). Popsi was the man with the plan during the daytime (believe he's still there). Stayed there many times!
Tony's Hut hasn't changed much in 10 years. We sat at the bar several times in February.
Can't really answer that except going back to 1975......Quote:

Of course it also had the obligatory notice of their intention to appear in Sav to secure a license. Things change but remain the same.
not that it matters but I don't remember TreeHouse bar until 79 , 80Quote:

remembering a bar up some stairs in a tree in montego bay in the 70s, on the north end of the beach road. goats roamed freely back then and it was a quiet very quiet vibe back thenQuote:
