Recommendations for No HUSSLE bar on beach!!

[TAH]

I can assure you that Cosmo Brown allows no such thing at his place. Also it's place on the beach is very private. Immediately on the south is Beaches......and ain't no hustlers or higgles there. To the north is mostly empty due to the beach line. So Beaches acts as a buffer to the action from the south.

Cosmo caters to middle to upscale clientele as much as visitors.

The food is as good as you'll get on the beach.

Maybe too quiet?

Not for this old f**t

It's definitely quiet down there, good or bad is in the eye of the beholder I suppose. Downside is taxi back wherever they're going, unless they're walkers or staying near Bloody Bay.

We love Cosmo's. Have never gotten a hassle by anyone. Conch soup is the best. We visit at least once or twice every vacation.

We don't really bar hop, and are normally in around 10:00p, but we've never had any issues once we were at an establishment. We had a beach guy try to get us in Boat Bar our first night there this past time, and another guy wanted us to stop and have a beer with him at Myrna's, I think, our first time there. I assume they are looking for free drinks, at a minimum. I just don't trust it. We've never had any issues with places frequented by locals (not hustlers). I don't know of any locals hangouts on the beach, though.

I must say. The hassle has been minimal with no jetski operators and their minions.

Tonys hut is still the best.

Chill Awhile.

Tony's Hut, especially if Tony is any where around on site.

When the water came up and they had to remove their fence, at night Tony would fasten a rope painted red with a couple of red rags (easily noticed) from one end of the property to the other on the beach entrance. One night I asked him what that meant, he replied "danger, do not enter" , "trust me they know".

Love that place.

Ocean Breeze Bar @ Beach House Villas.

As other's have alluded, hotel bars generally have no higglers because they have security to keep them off the property.

Other places, like Sun Beach or Sunnyside, may allow vendors on their property, but they are usually not troublesome and move along when you say "no, thanks". In my experience, if you belly-up to the bar and start talking to the bartender, they will leave you alone. The bartenders will also shoo them away if they become annoying.

I've never been approached at Yellow Bird...or Bar B Barn

The bar at Firefly was always relaxed. And with $135 Red Stripe it was cheap too. Having said that, they are under new owners so things might have changed.
