Old Jamm Inn

Barbados


This spacious bar is popular with both locals and visitors and plays a somewhat frustrating mix of good dancehall and bad pop. There's an air-con dance floor out the back where plenty of simulated loving goes on, but the best seats in the house are the bar stools on the deck at the front overlooking the Gap's comings and goings.

Serves meals early on. Some nights there are live bands.
