I hope this is just due to slow season, My hubby and I will both be very dissapointed as this is one of our main stops for spicy jerk chicken. Tictoc, I saw a calander on one of the Jamaican tourist boards that shows a calander of events and Alfreds listed a show in late December. It is a calander of events for all of Negrils restaurants/bars just not sure how accurate they are. I will try to post back with the name.

DeBus was a great place to visit during the older times and I thought it was well-managed and a vibrant environment.
When Bourbon Beach took over it seemed (at least to me) to go steadlly down hill. We had a thread awhile back where some (including me) alluded to the changing vibe and the quality of the service and the general environment surrounding the property. I have known about some questionable goings on there for a few years as I was personally familiar with the owner and some of his friends.
Places that allow "questionable locals" to supervise the runnings don't take too long before they drive away the real clientele who make a business profitable. You can't just live off the seasoned tourist who has little trouble in dealing with aggressive types, poor service and alike. You need to attract new business and to make regulars out of newbies. This is where, in my opinion, Bourbon Beach started to lose its footing and reputation until now it goes by the way of several other businesses in Negril. Perhaps a new owner with new "friends" will make a difference but if you continue to do business like the previous owner; it too will go away in time.
Peace and Guidance

Ok Tictoc, I found this site while looking for the menu For Bar B Barn, if you scrol down to the very bottom, it will give you a calandar of events. The site is Negril Jamaica Tourist Vidia.

I guess it is sort of hit or miss with shows and artists. I have gone to Bourbon Beach for headliners who didn't show and after hours of being told by an emcee that they were on the way, remained no shows. Nonetheless I have had some fun evenings (sans big artists) there and I do love their jerk chicken.
Hey Alisa that was thoughtful of you to post the event list thanks but I already know the party schedule
I LOVE the party schedule
I am usually found at every one.
I was meaning seeing a well known/famous act The parties are always there but sometimes the big acts are not ,
that is what I meant sorry.
I am not even worried about it now I am just going to chill at The seastar Inn and see what happens.
I know they have not built that stage for nothing
i would think there are going to be more places shutting down than opening in the near future, sadly, as business has been generally slow since the economic downturn in 08 ... of course, for the tourists, there are some amazing deals out there, so it's a case of get it while it's hot.
I liked Bourbon Beach, been there many times, and I hope it comes back soon as possible. that said the chicken was SPICY SPICY SPICY!!!!!
How about Reggae Sting 2011?
Its not in Negril of course, but it is always one of the biggest reggae shows around, always the day after Christmas....
Maybe you could make your way to that Tic....just throwing it out there as an option!
Went by Bourbon Beach a few times last week while staying at BBB. No chicken. I hope it is just temporary....
OMG
DeBus was rocking
Best jerk chicken
Best vibes
Yellow Man was scheduled on a November night about 15 years ago. The music played the place was filled with paying customers. About 2:30 am the music stopped and the crowd wandered off. I spyed YellowMan passed out in the drivers seat of a Toyota pickup as I made my way out passed the Bus.
Wild.
Only in Negril!!!!
Well Sting was going to be a last resort for me as it is further out and would require a car and a nanny.
But now Vybz kartel and Buju are locked up they were the ones I would have liked to see and a number of others have said no they are not performing this year.
I will sit back and wait nice and patiently and hope for the best!
