The next decade....what's in store?
Musings of a yamfooted traveller still trying to shake off those last 20 pounds as she treks across the Caribbean
So I decided to go out Friday gone. Remember I had a houseguest. Well he wanted to see what Grenada social/lime life was like.
Went to a restaurant first. Experience not as good as when the family went there for Pops' birthday last month, but it could pass.
Next it was time to hit the bars. Went to a relatively new one right near the restaurant. Oh my goodness! It looked like somebody had a spare room in their house and decided to turn it into a pub. No atmosphere. No character. And Grenadians had told me that it was nice! Hmmm....
Next it was to another one in a residential area. Long line of university students. Not our scene. Next it was to a spot right by the ocean. Music was in full swing there. A band was playing some really old Grenadian calypsos, which the older crowd were enjoying, dancing till they soak and ting. White plastic chairs, wooden roughly made tables. Ugh.
And finally we ended up at an all night place near to the hotel. Didn't buy any drinks, but rather sat by the water's edge and chatted, three of us.
As far as I am aware, there is no classy spot in Grenada to enjoy a nice glass of wine or other drink of your choice, with nice decor and ambience. Sounds like a need has to be filled. If I was an entrepreneurial type, that would be my next project.
Anyway, here is what I looked like in my skirt.

Posted by: Melody Piggy at September 24, 2006 07:01 PMThat was the restaurant, so that was ok. It's the bars/pubs we went to afterwards that lacked ambience.
Posted by: Michelle at September 24, 2006 10:19 PMYou look quite nice. I do wish you would stop cutting out the face in the pictures tho. It is a bit unnerving...

I do remember Grenada to be lacking in stuff to do at night when I wuz there two years ago also. None of the hotels have a nice bar/pub/club? Same thing with Tobago as well. I guess you can't have everthing. And yes, your business niche is cut out for you. Yamelle's Pub and Bistro? (If it does open I want my 'cut' for naming it! ;-) )

The restaurant was the Beach House. Nice place, particularly during Friday afternoon. Go for a swim then enjoy an early dinner outside (if it's not raining, LOL). Of course I might be biased because some of my family is involved in running the place.
The first night-club - perhaps the one right at the entrance to Beach House? If so, I'd tend to agree with your opinion.
The second night-club - that sounds like Bananas. Yes, there could be a lot of medical students there at times, but it could still be fun at times, though I'm not overly fond of the boom-tiss ragga music that's sometimes played. Again, I might be biased, for the same reason mentioned above :).
The third night-club - that sounds like Big Fish. I agree with your opinion.
The last one - that sounds like that new place that opened in True Blue. Quite nice, but I haven't been back in a while.
Did you try the BoatYard?
