Little Bristol Bar, Speightstown - Enjoy a Rum Punch on us!

Little Bristol Bar, Speightstown - Enjoy a Rum Punch on us!

by Mark Hammerton

Speightstown is often overlooked by visitors to the west coast of Barbados as its more fashionable neighbour, Holetown has more obviously tourist-friendly shops and restaurants. But Speightstown, or Little Bristol as it was once known, is charmingly untouched by mainstream tourism and its eclectic mix of shops and market stalls exist for the benefit of locals rather than visitors.



As our Barbados home is at Mullins, we are just 5 minutes by car (or reggae bus!) from the centre of Speightstown and this is where we tend to come for a quick drink and to catch up with friends at Little Bristol Beach Bar - particularly on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday evenings when there's live music too.

Run by Rory Rodger - previously of Mullins Bar - this tiny beach bar is hidden away in the centre of town – it is easy to miss if you aren’t looking out for it and very unassuming from the street side but it has a lovely deck overlooking the sea and a wonderful laid-back vibe. Canteen style snacks are available from a small food truck – try the fish cakes – and staff are friendly and attentive.

Make sure you visit just before sunset and enjoy your rum punch or Banks beer with a mix of regulars and visitors and if you've booked your villa or apartment stay through us, you'll even receive your first drink on the house (vouchers sent to you with your pre-arrival pack).

Little Bristol Bar is off the main tourist track in Barbados but is all the better for that. We thoroughly recommend you find your way to Speightstown on a Wednesday, Friday or Sunday evening and join in the fun!

Mark and Lisa Hammerton

We are Mark and Lisa Hammerton and we are lucky enough to spend our time organising villa and apartment holidays to the wonderful Caribbean island of Barbados.

We have been involved with the travel industry for most of our working lives but fell in love with Barbados after many visits and ended up buying a second home there.

We would love to talk to you about the island and our selection of wonderful properties and, as our priority is matching the right property to your requirements, we will always be open and honest in what we have to say.

PRICE PROMISE
Promise
We have selected the properties we offer based on personal visits and a wealth of local knowledge and we hope to offer the best possible service before and during your stay. All rental prices are set by the property owners and you shouldn’t find the same property at a lower price elsewhere. Unlike some operators, we always include local taxes (VAT and Barbados Government Room Rate Levy) and local service fees in our rates so it is worth checking this when making comparisons.
We are aware that some operators offer discounts and promotions from time to time and we don’t want you to ever feel as though you are paying over the odds by booking through us – it’s not what we’re about. If you do find the same property at a lower price elsewhere please do let us know and we promise to match the price. Our aim is to be fair, open and honest at every stage as we look after your holiday arrangements.
