Duffy’s Love Shack

US Virgin Islands


It may be a frame shack in the middle of a paved parking lot, but Duffy’s creates its legendary, tiki-themed atmosphere with high-volume rock and crowds in shorts and tank tops. The people-watching is excellent and the cocktails are great fun, like the 64oz ‘shark tank’ or the flaming 'volcano.' The food is classic, burger-based pub fare.
