I know it wasn't just about the Red Stripes but by not being overpriced, folks would come and stay awhile. Often a mix of tourist & local. And nobody puttin' on airs because they could afford some fancy drink with an umbrella in it. The place had it's regulars and good times were had (mostly at the old bar - haven't spent as much time there lately). Maybe that too has changed with the new construction - but it seemed the logical choice for those who want to carry on without major relocation...
