As a matter of fact, it is regulated by the Jamaican Tax Office, which you dont want to get on the wrong side of - without a Tax Compliance Certificate it is (TCC) nearly impossible to get anything done business-wise.

And if you notice closely at all bars, there are government issued liquor permits. They have to be publicly visible. Those cute signs that say "It is my intention to..." are a carry over from years ago. Establishments still post them as it makes for a great photo opportunity for visitors. But they hold no legal standing at all and have not for years.
