Have you ever wondered why island life is so peaceful, easygoing, and friendly? Local and visitors indulge in certain activities because they enjoy doing so. A stress reliever is something that many people are unaware of. On the Islands of the Caribbean , locals call it Socializing or aka liming. Stress is reduced through social engagement. It’s party time, so go out and meet some new people, if not buddies, then at least kind strangers.
There’s a rumor going through Barbados that the greatest local cuisine is now available on the streets!
COUNTRYSIDE
The Village Bar, Lemon Arbour, St John
Expect to find a young energetic crowd. Finger licking good pork among other things and a fantastic country view.
Bay Tavern, Martins Bay, St. John
Looking for a heaping helping of freshly caught fish then, Martins Bay is where it’s at. It’s a long drive that’s well worth it, for the atmosphere, food and seaside eating. However don’t think the long drive deters others – expect to find a crowd.
IN BRIDGETOWN
Baxter’s Road, Bridgetown
Speaking of Bridgetown – for a rustic Bajan experience, try Baxter’s Road. Famous for its open air fish fry, small local bars, rum shops and constant activity. Hungry at 2,3 or 4am…go to Baxter’s Rd
IN THE SOUTH
OISTINS, Christ Church
If you asked a local to suggest a good liming spot, he or she would most likely recommend Oistins – for food,
fish, fun & festivities.
St. Lawrence Gap, Christ Church
When asking around, it would be a close tie between Oistins and St. Lawrence Gap for places to lime. At the gap you will
find, dinner, dancing, karaoke, clubs, a bit of souvenir shopping and hotels, and a whole lot of liming
WEST COAST
1ST & 2ND STREET, Holetown
When hanging on the west pop into Second Street, lime, dance, eat and indulge in decadent deserts.
Fisherman’s Pub, Speightstown, St Peter
This seafront tavern serves the tastiest, most authentically local fare at a very reasonable price, and is perhaps the liveliest and busiest bar in the entire block.
