This is always my first stop after a day of travel and I step foot off the ferry into St John. Lucky for me, I tend to arrive right during happy hour ($3 painkillers!) and just before the sun is setting.. The view is the best part. You're sitting right on top of the beach overlooking the harbor, watching the boats and ferries come in after a day out on the water.. Then it's the perfect setting to watch the sun set over St Thomas. I always look forward to coming here as I know it's the best way to kick off my vacation in St. John! read more

Rum Hut - View from the bar - Seafood Near Me - St John, Virgin Islands

LOVE this place! Friend and I came here two nights in a row during our stay in St. John. The place has outdoor seats right on the beach under a few trees with beautiful lights. The seats are facing the water making it a great place just to enjoy good food drinks and chill. You can take a dip in the water any time during your dinner. I got the peel and eat shrimp two days in a row ( MUST try!); shrimp and corn fritters were great too. Get the bushwhacker and BBC if you want frozen drinks. Who can miss happy hour $3 per drink ! read more

Happy hour here is a must. They have really good food as well. The location is great and you can shop and or walk around the beach. This is a great place to sit at the bar and watch the sun set. read more

Beautiful setting, but we went for lunch (15 of us). $330 later, I can tell you that the food is, for the most part, awful. Processed cheese is in many of the dishes. The fish tacos were not eaten. The sandwiches ended up in the trash. The only thing Joe's got right were the french fries. The french fries are amazing. I can't comment on the drinks, because we did not order any. read more

Amazing beach bar. Haven't eaten here but how bad can it be? It's on the beach people and the view is to die for. Cruz Bay St. John! Fantastic Happy Hour everyday! read more

The bar faces the ocean and has seating on the beach. We went there for happy hour and the drinks were $3.00 for beer and cocktails. I love the lime in de coconut drink and the island girl! The food was also very good and better than I expected. It was very pleasant to watch the sunset on the beach and relax. I would definitely recommend! read more

While I haven't sampled the food menu, the painkillers here were our favorite example. It was our benchmark against all other bars and eateries we strolled into. Great happy hour that brought in not only the tourists like me, but the locals too. Always a good sign. Sit at the bar or down below on the sand. And if the scenery isn't to your liking, ignore it all with game of corn hole. read more

We stopped here for lunch before returning to St Thomas, wouldn't mind going back Service (2*) - It's a bar that serves food, find a seat at a table and hope you're seen or wait awkwardly for someone to recognize you want to eat food and seat you. Quite a bit of people, but the staff were too focused on someone's birthday that they didn't really pay attention to the tables. Food (3*) - It was OK. I got a turkey wrap and my wife got the grilled cheese, both were good enough to take left-overs back with us, but not very memorable. Location (4*) - Located right on Cruz Bay, with a small sandy beach and a CornHole game setup (bean bag toss game). Your view is of the bay and the boats docked, but it was pleasant/peaceful read more

Car Car, Joc-a-Lock, Jenny, and Jess were good, fun, attentive, and helpful bartenders. All day. read more

Rum Hut - Jocelyn, making the Joc Juice. - Seafood Near Me - St John, Virgin Islands

Great location, service and hours. The wings were the best that we had on the island. Pizza was also good, but it is hard to find pizza options on the island. Recommend stopping in and having some drinks and food. read more

My wife and friends loved this place for great bar food and drinks. Reasonably priced food and specialty pizzas. It's a staple when in Crus Bay, USVI!! read more

Okay best pizza on the Island..I swear they must have one of those brick ovens in the back. This bar is nestled on the beach and you can sit with your chair in the sand, enjoy beverages or food and watch the sun set. They have the best happy hour too which are $3 "what you call it" from 3-6pm. Can't beat that deal! I have also tried their fish tacos(have such good flavor) and their grilled chicken salad(tasty dressing). We went here 4 times during our vacation. read more

One of the best happy hours on the island! $3 you call its are a good deal no matter where you are. They also make the best painkillers on the island! My first experience here was for my sister's wedding rehearsal dinner. They had set up our tables out on the beach just on the other side of their patio. We had lovely appetizers of coconut fried shrimp and conch fritters. Both were great, but conch fritters are a Caribbean specialty and theirs were a revelation. For our main course we had both steak kabobs and mahi mahi served buffet-style with a lovely Caesar salad. The steak was good but the mahi mahi was the real ticket. I really only enjoy seafood when it is at its freshest, and it didn't get any fresher than when it was swimming earlier that day. In all it was a lovely meal and a very memorable evening. I'd come back here for the happy hour and conch fritters alone! read more

Nice water frong bar. Food was bar food, but passable. The thing that makes this one is the bartenders and the views.

Wouldn't put up shade to watch the World Cup game & suggested we leave to watch the game. Make staff member was grumpy and rude.

Nice bartender and good mojitos! And tvs for football watching.

Awesome happy hour...$3.50 "you call it" (basically you can get any drink for $3.50). So many of their drinks are good, but I recommend the one that tastes like banana. It's not overwhelming, just perfect. They are right on the beach so you also have a great view and can watch as the little boats come in and dock for a drink. Such a fun atmosphere. read more

First, the happy hour prices are awesome! $3 for any drink from 4-6! One of the best happy hour deals on the island. Second, the food is really good. The pizza is awesome but my favorite was the Big G Burger. Get this burger. It is seriously the best burger I've ever had in my life. Can't wait to go back next year. read more

Great happy hour. Painkillers are top notch. The pizza is very good. Took home a cheese pie that was great. Great location.

Really great beach front bar in Cruz Bay right on the sand. We popped in for happy hour drinks and hung out on the beach playing bags while chatting it up with friends. The staff was great and the drinks were tasty - great happy hour! read more

a beachy dive bar actually on the beach with killer views and pretty good drinks... yes please! we can for happy hour 4-6 pm with a $3 you call it deal. we tried lots of options from painkillers, mojitos, margaritas (frozen and on the rocks), lime in da coconut etc to coronas (we were there for a while). the drinks were all pretty standard of the premade from concentrate mixed variety, but so is everything else on the island. we also ordered fish tacos, jerk chick quesadilla, and mahi mahi sandwich. all were actually pretty decent and priced around $12 each. the salsa that came with the tacos and quesadilla tasted off to me. but each had enough seasoning that you didnt really need it anyway. the fish sandwich had a large portion of grilled fish that i ended up eating without the bun and enjoyed the pickled pineapple (canned im pretty sure) and jalepeno salsa / chutney that came of the side for some added flavor. great views. friendly enough service. good place to get tipsy and have a snack while on vacay. read more

My favorite bar in Cruz Bay. Delicious drinks and a super cool setting right on the water. Bartenders were friendly and attentive. Can't wait to go back. read more

This review is about their food. If you want a drink and a nice beach view, this bar plus all their neighbors will serve you well. Ok, on to the food! Pretty dang boring, under seasoned and flat on flavor. We ordered our food during a fairly dead evening. Out came soggy fries and a lobster roll so loaded down with mayo, why even bother putting shellfish in the roll. Oh the roll, if you are going to use a roll, butter the damned thing, toast it too please, I mean it's on the menu with a description of a buttered toasted roll. read more

Joe's Rum Hut Bar is right overlooking the beach in Cruz Bay. It's a short walk from the ferry and right in town. We went here for a happy hour pina colada after the beach (buy one get one free! Can't complain about that!) and were impressed with how delicious they were. The service was awesome as was the view of the ocean. The bartender made us a pina colada on the house which was pretty awesome as well. We didn't try any of the food, but it's an awesome place to grab a midday drink! read more

A great burger and fries...with a Corona, of course. Add a beautiful view of the sunset and an attentive wait staff and you have a sure winner. read more

I had to wait at the bar for about 10 minutes to get someone to place the order, but after they got done talking with their friends the staff took our order, The Chickjen Parm sandwich was encrusted with, my guess cheese. Was not eaten. The Italian sub was bathed in Mayo, although the menu did not mention mayo. It did mention the there wpould be Guacamole, no Mayo. Given my allergy to Mayo & no Epi Pen present much of the sandwich was discarded. Each sandwich came with a large portion of spiced slim fries. These as well were not eaten. Now some may fine the food satisfactory, some may not. read more

The best spot to hit in Cruz Bay for a few cold drinks or a bite to eat. Located in Wharfside Village, near the ferry dock, Joe's has a great view looking out over Cruz Bay. There are many reasons to give Joe's Rum Hut a try, the cold beer, their happy hour specials, or their great burgers and fries. (Don't miss out on their fries!!!!). I can't fail to mention the entire staff of the Rum Hut, the greatest group of people you'll have the pleasure of coming across during your time on St John. read more

Great view of the harbor. Lobster roll was excellent with lots of lobster. Be sure to order with the shoestring fries. They were very crispy and greasy, just like I like them!! read more

Rum Hut - Lobster roll with shoestring fries. Just great! - Seafood Near Me - St John, Virgin Islands

Great food & great service! I sat at the bar by myself and was taken care by the bartender whose name was Abby! She was very kind and gave excellent service. Her along with her manager made me feel really welcomed. I had a burger with just cheese and bacon. The burger was cooked perfectly and the fries were really good! Sadly I am leaving the island after living here, but I will be back when I make it back to the islands! read more

Great place to have a drink as soon as you arrive in St John. The food is amazing. Try the BIG G BURGER you can't go wrong with this . Service is so friendly you will want to stay all day.. read more

Loved this place on a recent vacation. Good food, drinks, and service. I even picked up a shirt. Had pizza first time and a fry appetizer with loads of drinks both times. In a great spot right on the beach. Can't wait to go back. read more

Meh. Ok food. Great views. The server seems pretty unhappy that we were not ordering drinks and there was a generally unwelcome attitude. Many better places around - skip this. read more

We eat at Joes all the time. Service and food is inconsistent. I have not always given 5 stars. But yesterday I had the mango jerk shrimp salad Joes you get 5 stars for that dish. Fantastic read more

great bar with a nice view of cruz bay. this is a good spot to watch sports and i like the happy hour. my only complaint is that the music is awful and way too loud. there is really no need to play "jessie's girl" twice in a 30 minute span at full volume to where i can't have a conversation without yelling. it's not a club. read more

This place is great for drinks, and the service is great. $3 you call-it drinks for happy hour, including Painkillers and all the drinks you can imagine/any liquor you can see you can ask for during this happy hour. The food here is meh, not amazing but certainly not bad. We tried mahi tacos and they were good. Too much lettuce though. The drinks are what this place is known for, so come for that. read more

best fish tacos I've ever had! (and I've had some.) I was there on a slow sunday afternoon and it was lovely. casual, overlooks the beach, friendly bar staff. read more

Best happy hour - $3 for anything. Food is ok, but better to venture to one of the restaurants after drinking.

Great view and rum drinks. Craved a big juicy burger and got a very disapointing frozen rubbery patty. Too bad. Next time I will eat at High Tide where they know what a burger should be like. read more

drinks were good, but my husband and i were looking for a spot with a large but good crowd to sit, mingle and have a drink or two. it was unfortunately the bar was empty each time we entered. read more
