Our last sail in May of 15 we found a glass shop in CGB that was using recycled bottles to produce some beautiful glasswork. It doesn’t look like they are still around post Irma, does anyone know if they’ve re-opened elsewhere?

They were suppose to open on Virgin Gorda but I dont think it happened..great loss to CGB IMHO (along with the Pusser's take over etc).

I have a beautiful blue-green starfish from the glass blowers that were at CGB. It was lovely to meet the artists and watch a bit while they worked. Only a bit as it was very hot!

Malcolm sounds like you’re not happy with the new Myett’s situation? if I’ve read correctly, Pusser’s now “runs” Myett’s restaurant. Or is it a partnership with Val & Kareem? Are the hotel and bar still separate? Did this affect the bar and happy hours?
Thanks, have not been since before Irma...

The hotel and a small gift shop in the office are run by Val. The restaurant, bar, beach bar, and large gift shop are run by Pusser's.

Wow, didn't know about Pussers at Myett's. I remember my first visit to Myett's in 1996. The experience has improved and the service, music and food have been good in a great setting. I hope this works out well...

Cheers, RickG

My wife and I ate at Pusser/Myetts the first week of May and will not go back in November. Bad food, worse service of the entire week, made to feel like we were bothering them. Not the experience I had read about in the past.

It seems everything is getting back to pre Irma days, you should know better then to interrupt them while they’re being paid to breath and take in the scenery.😁

Back in ‘05 Prince and other bartenders were very aloof bordering on rude, Val and the waitresses were very nice. Next visit Prince was a prince, go figure!

Only 1 waitress is left from the original Myett's crew. Everyone else is from the West End Pussers.
