BURGERS, SEAFOOD $$
( 284-495-4603;

;
Sopers Hole; mains $14-27; lunch & din-
ner; )
This fun pub offers outdoor harborside seating and a Margaritaville ambience.
The seafood-based dinners are a bit pricey for their quality; it's best to stick to snacks and
booze (happy hour is from 5pm to 6:30pm). There's also free wi-fi.
Fish Fry
SEAFOOD $
(Zion Hill Rd; Apple Bay; mains from $8)
On Zion Hill Rd, in the clearing opposite
the Coco Plums restaurant (which had closed at press time, so it may have a new name
by now), is the 'fish fry tree.' On various nights the surrounding West Indian settlement
gathers for a cookout of grilled snapper or flying fish with sweet potato, peas and rice. Ask
around as to what night it might be happening.
D' Best Cup
CAFE $
(SopersHole;sandwiches$6-10; breakfast&lunch; )
Tucked in among the shops
at the marina, D' Best Cup is a local chain serving sweet cappuccino, espresso and coffee
drinks, as well as smoothies, omelets and sandwiches.
Entertainment
The most famous bar on Tortola would have to be Bomba's Surfside Shack.

Pusser's cranks up live entertainment almost every
night of the week. There is usually a lively after-work crowd for the happy hour specials
like cheap chicken wings and $1 discounts on all drinks. Depending on the night, you get
live steel pan, calypso, reggae or fungi music. The crowd is a mix of local expats, travelers
and sailors off charter boats.

Jolly Roger has bands Fri-
day and Saturday nights. The music is typically West Indian or country and western and
draws 30-somethings from the surrounding West End villas.
