Go to the beach bar on St. John. Mike is the best ever bar tender. Great smile. Genuine concern for his customers. Go. Ask for mike. And tip him big! This is the ultimate island experience. Mike is the reason. Thanks beach bar. And Mike! He'll even shake your hand when you close out the tab.

Friendly, noisy, with good bar food. Drinks are good, and staff cheerful and helpful. Lost my contact while there and had lots of help; someone actually found it!

Very busy bar at happy hour, it took awhile to get our order in, but once we did the food came very quickly and was really good.

We were there for 20 minutes and only got our drinks ordered. Not sure if the food was good, as we never got that far. Paid our tab and went upstairs to the Spy Glass...

We stop in here every day at happy hour when we are in St. John. Amazing drinks, reasonably priced. Fun atmosphere and you can't beat the view!!! We had lunch one day and we were not thrilled, but the drinks were great :)

I had eaten here 13 years ago, when my cousin was married on St.John. My husband and I were also married here, and are on our honeymoon. As soon as we got off of the plane and settled, we headed straight for The Beach Bar. It was like coming home ! It never disappoints!

We stopped in here while trying to rent a dingy from next door for a quick drink and ended up staying for a good portion of the afternoon. Both bartenders were incredibly friendly, super helpful, and really good at their jobs. Not only that but the menu is really unique. It still has your great beach bar food that you'd... More

If you want a beach with a great beachside location, good nibble food, good drinks and a nice selection of caps and shirts, this place will not disappoint. We went to Beach Bar to buy a cap for a friend who visited St. John several years ago and regretted that he did not get a cap from the Beach Bar... More
