Dinghy Dock Sailors Bar
The island's only craft beer bar with all-you-can-eat ribs on Mondays and serious dive bar charm
Why Go
Dinghy Dock Sailors Bar is the bar that every island needs and few have — a genuine dive bar with character, a massive craft beer selection, and food that's way better than it has any right to be. Located on Airport Road in Simpson Bay, it draws sailors, locals, tourists, and anyone who appreciates cold craft beer, amazing nachos, and an atmosphere where nobody's pretending to be fancy. Monday's all-you-can-eat ribs have achieved near-legendary status in the Simpson Bay community.
The Experience
The vibe is lively, rowdy, and completely unpretentious. This is the only craft beer bar on the island, stocking a large selection of bottles and drafts that beer lovers will spend half an hour studying. The food menu reads like elevated pub fare — nachos, chili with chips, burgers, bacon-wrapped shrimp, jerk chicken sandwiches, and ribs that are genuinely excellent. Sports are always on the screens, and the crowd is a democratic mix of charter boat captains, expats, and visitors who found their way here through word of mouth. It's the kind of bar where you walk in alone and leave with stories.
What to Try
Monday's all-you-can-eat ribs are a weekly event — plan around them. The craft beer selection is the deepest on the island, so ask the bartender for recommendations based on what you normally drink. The nachos are famous for good reason. The fish dip is a sleeper hit. Bacon-wrapped shrimp with a cold IPA is a combination that might make you rethink your evening plans.
Insider Tip
The Airport Road location means you're in the heart of Simpson Bay's charter boat and marina scene. The bar draws a late-afternoon crowd that arrives after work or after a day on the water, and the energy builds from there. Come early on Mondays for the AYCE ribs — regulars know to arrive by 5 PM. The craft beer selection rotates, so return visits always offer something new.
