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! happy
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 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. happy

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?
