About Fisherman's Pub
Speightstown is a small fishing town about 30 minutes north of Bridgetown on the west coast highway. Fisherman's Pub occupies a spot right on the waterfront, where the fishing boats come in. The building is simple and open-sided, catching the sea breeze. The menu is driven by what comes off the boats: flying fish, dolphinfish (mahi-mahi), and whatever else is running. It is the kind of place that locals eat lunch and visitors discover when they venture north of Holetown.
