IRISH ROVER PUB - JAMAICA TOURIST ISSUE 10
DRAX HALL, ST. ANN (NEAR OCHO RIOS)
Jamaica’s first authentic Irish Pub is now open in Greenwich Park, Drax Hall only minutes from Ocho Rios. After living in Ireland for over 40 years, Jamaican Winston Samuels returned to the island with his Irish wife Angela and realized their dream of opening the Irish Rover Pub. Angela, whose father is an Irish pub owner, has delighted the many patrons with authentic Irish dishes such as Eggs with Bangers & Bacon, Steak & Guinness Pie, Shepherds Pie and the all time favorite; Fish & Chips served with homemade tartar sauce. We sampled the pub’s delicious, rich Irish Stew with tender lamb pieces and the great Irish/Jamaican hospitality to the fullest. The couple has even ‘Jamaicanized’ the world famous Irish Coffee, replacing the whiskey with a generous shot of Tia Maria and renaming it Calypso Coffee. The novel concoction is topped with lots of whipped cream – delicious! A great hang out spot for the entire family, prices at the Irish Rover are very reasonable. Open daily from 10 am until midnight (at least). Tel: 972-9352.
