NEVER trust anyone who does not love the beach
Aubie's and For Real bar.
Aubie was an interesting dude, always opinionated with great energy. I loved the banter that we had back and forth as well as his bluntness. RIP my friend.
For Real bar was the bar that I found myself going back to over and over on my first couple of trips. It had a great vibe, beers were cheap, and the service was second to none. The awesome bartenders are still around if you look hard enough.
This trip down memory lane reminds me that there were so many likkle rustic places in Negril that time has just bulldozed away. Every time this thread pops up, I get nostalgic and scroll through.
One place that's still there but in different form is Country Country. It used to be just Country. The restaurant used to be the round building out by the road. The menu was painted on the wall above the counter. Breakfast was our favorite and once the chef bartered with a fisherman bringing his catch in. I decided to get the Jamaican breakfast with fish. I could hear the chef cleaning the fish and chopping veggies for my meal as I sipped OJ and Blue Mountain. Delish!
One night we stopped by for dinner and one of us puzzled out loud about the extensive Chinese menu, "I wonder who cooks the Chinese dishes?" Out steps a Chinese guy, "I do!" We all fell out of our chairs laughing. We weren't hungry a half hour after eating.
We're all in this together and none of us is getting out alive.
Poinciana was our favorite until it went all-inclusive. Room 1203, second floor corner room, great breeze! Next property was Elmer's Watersports - jetskiis revving all day but I go to learn a lot of Jamaican swear words from those guys!
The food and the ambiance was but a mere reflection of the people that ran the show! Gus I reach to you my old friend! But people like Pee Wee, Franklin, Princess, Winsome the face of the enthusiasm and love that was put into every plate they put out. The food although absolutely delicious was nothing compared to the people that made it for you! The attitude was addictive, the love and laughter that attitude produced brings a smile to my face, with the memories that have lasted 42 years! Randymon!
Sadly, another restaurant to add to this list is Ossie & Marge's Restaurant ( Ms. Madge's ) across from Ossie's Jerk Centre. We have eaten there every year since 1988 and recently heard that it has been demolished. Her kingfish was to die for.
That was always a go to she was on the beach for years making patties
