Fred's Bar Disco & Restaurant
NIGHTCLUB
(King St; cover charge $10)
Across the street from the Lime Inn, Fred's has been a gath-
ering spot forever. This is the place to be if you crave reggae and calypso, or if you want to
party with a mix of euphoric West Indians and continentals. Bands usually play Saturday;
at time of research it was country music, but you never know who will take the stage.
St John Film Society
CINEMA
(

A group of local filmmakers and film enthusiasts screen free,
Caribbean-focused art films and documentaries in Cruz Bay and Coral Bay. Check the web-
site for times and places.

boutiques, galleries, studio shops and salons mostly located in two attractive shopping ar-
cades.

is on the waterfront just to the south of the ferry dock. The larger
Mongoose Junction
is a place that looks like a collection of Italian palaces on the North
Shore Rd near the national park visitors center. A third collection of shops is in the
Mar-
ketplacebuilding
, on Southside Rd (aka Rte 104) about a 15-minute walk southeast from
the ferry dock. Most shops have long hours, usually 10am to 8pm Monday to Saturday and
