Holy moly, I just saw this post that I did under my "old" name years ago, what a shock! That being said, Hubbie and I talked wistfully just the other day about wishing we had spent time at the original Kite Bar when we first visited about 25 years ago. Looks like this next visit in December (under 6 weeks now!) will get us over to the former Pickles place and see what's going on. Lucky for us, we'll be staying on the Coral Bay side again! Formally, KarrieB

Hi Medicineman!
I absolutely loved reading this thread. And how wonderful what you have done with herbs. So..the question is, do you have a website for your store? If so, could you please post the link. It would be great to purchase your herbs. Believe me..I would much rather come back to the island and buy them directly from you and meet you but, not quite in the budget just yet. Good luck with the continued research of your herbs and congrats on the restaurant!
Cheers,
Fran

hi Fran. No, no website yet for selling herbs........ but can be ordered from me. $50 a bottle that covers most things like flus, toothaches, infections etc...... cancer seems to take about 4 bottles....... thanks for your interest, Victor

Hi all, I just want to wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, AND SEASONS GREETINGS!! Tonite , Christmas eve,December 24th , we have LIVE Steel Pan music played by Carl Freeman from 7 pm until at the ST JOHN BAR and RESTAURANT in CORAL BAY ST JOHN. We also have a new cook, Joseph Canhan from Austin Texas serving up delicious meals.. Saturday December 26th we have the lovely female musician T-Bird singing and playing her guitar from 7 pm until... I hope to see you and all your friends soon...vic

hi again all. Well, T-Bird had to cancel, so I got Carl Freeman to come play, but alas! We had days mixed up! What a fiasco! So ANYWAY......... Carl Freeman will be playing STEEL PAN melodies from 10 pm THURSDAY NEW YEARS EVE at THE ST JOHN BAR AND RESTAURANT in CORAL BAY ST JOHN into 2010!! We also got the bartenders to STOP playing LOUD HIP HOP music and the place has returned to mellow conversational music <unless we are partying> playing reggae , jazz, pop , soca and soul....

Can't wait to get into the ole Kite mellow slide. will be back in Coral Bay for two weeks in January You will be my first stop.
Happy New Year.

Hi all I am sorry to announce that I am no longer associated with the ST JOHN BAR and Restaurant in Coral Bay. Apparently 3 months wasn't long enough to generate enough business. to cover all the bills. Oh well, we did have some fun while it lasted.

Just saw this thread, my first time there was in 1978, I remember well because crawling along on top of the shelf where the booze was sitting was a large brown & white rat. I remember that no one there was taken back by this.

On that visit we stayed at the original Gallows Point, how many remember the bar there?
