Wahoo's Lounge

Ambergris Caye


This otherwise innocuous sports bar has made a name for itself by hosting the weekly 'Chicken Drop' (6pm Thursday). Sort of like bingo with chickens, it gives new insight to the origin of the term 'chicken shit.' The sand is divided by numbered squares and a chicken is put in the middle of it; participants place bets on where it will drop its load.

Give people enough alcohol and they are amused by anything.
