Woody's Seafood Saloon
BAR
(
www.woodysseafood.com
;
from 11am)
St John's daily party starts at Woody's at
3pm, when the price on domestic beers drops precipitously. By 4pm the crowd in this tiny
place has spilled over onto the street. Bartenders pass beers out a street-side window. Mean-
while, the crowd basks in the glow of the tropical sun and listens to The Rolling Stones or
Merle Haggard blasting from the sound system. Over the course of the night, the gang ebbs
and flows, but by 11pm, Woody's has a crowd inside and out. The result is part frat party,
part college reunion. And while you probably won't meet the love of your life at Woody's,
you may well meet somebody to love.
