Have heard the food is very good there. But the drinks are over the top expensive!

fabila said: Is this where the old Aqua was? Don't recall the restaurant names after Aqua went out. I know it's been a while since that restaurant was there but that's my only point of reference. No this is a complete new location close to the waters edge by the Airport.

They tried to charge my friend, a well known bartender on the island, $5 for a club soda.

According to my bartender friend, there had been many complaints and the person was eventually fired. However, the drink prices remain high. We went back a couple of weeks ago (new bartender) and still paid WAY too much for a couple of drinks. Doubt we'll bother again.

My husband used to get mad at me because I would walk in a club and just order a coke and the coke was more expensive than a mixed drink LOL

I do have to say that the location is great with a wonderful view over the lagoon and a nice breeze. Fitted out nicely also with a clean rest room. We really did enjoy our times there, as it is very friendly with plenty of locals - until we got the check. The food prices seemed decent, and I've been told the daily special, which is about $12.00, is very good. Here's the location: http://www.gatewaymarinasxm.com/location/locaton-map.html

In the late 70's on St John, coke was $1 to $1.50 per can and Cruzan rum was $1.90 per bottle. We still laugh about that.
60 days and counting!
Cheers, T
I prefer the Isle seat

Those of us who live on the island for extended periods and go to happy hour 3 or 4 times a week know that there are many places on the island that afford a great view. You are quite right that the expensive drink places are avoided. If a location wants just tourists who will never be back or come just once a year--ok, but they won't get the people who are here for longer periods.

Only once or twice a week for us, but understand what you're saying.

Pink Iguana is the name of the tug from what I recall. I think they had a small list of appetizers but when we stopped it was just the owner/bartender and no food available.
