Top choice in Tortola
This beachside bar-restaurant almost always has a crowd of boozy revelers. It takes its name from owner Quito Rymer, whose band has toured with Ziggy Marley. You can dance up a storm to Quito’s reggae rhythms, and people flock in to do just that. Check Facebook for when he's playing (usually Wednesdays). Live music fills the air every happy hour, too.
The rotis and other dishes are pretty good. Quito's offers a fancier menu for dinner in the evenings.
