Beach Bar dogged by inspectors
Sometimes there are people who are dirtier than most dogs at the Beach Bar, and they get to stay. Health Dept. inspectors have cracked down on the Beach Bar, which now posts a No Dogs Allowed sign (although I’m not so sure the bar’s cooperation goes much beyond the sign.) That’s not the only knuckle rap the Beach Bar has taken. Another crackdown on its use of the beach itself now means the bar can’t set up tables and chairs on the beach. Patrons can. But the bar can’t. The tables and chairs are stacked on the beach, so help yourself. Go figure.

I think that is ridiculous, it’s an outside bar on the beach. Dogs should be allowed, rhere’s always a party pooper!

Some of the things that make STJ so enjoyable is the ability to walk down the street with a beer and to play with pets while eating.
Probably some of the government officials do not like that the Beach Bar is so popular.
Hey Rob…the Texas one….77 days and a wakeup and you’ll be there. Did somebody mention Red Stripe !

Wonder what’s gonna happen to Tigger, the resident pup at LowKey? He seems like a fixture at the Beach Bar. Maybe they can dress him up all human-like…..

How could anyone ban a cute little guy like this one from the beach bar?

I agree with Rob7…these are exactly the things that make STJ so great.
We have all heard of the expression “Island Time” …. I guess this would be “Island Bureaucracy”…..

Awww, poor puppies. I’ve been more scared of certain people than I ever have been of a dog.
Whomever said dress the dogs as people is onto something, though!

We’re from the government and we’re here to protect you… someone has too much free time on their hands if they think a dog at The Beach Bar is that big of a problem. i say lets ban noseeum’s from the beach, do it for the children.

A nod to the overlords, but business as usual! Begging for french fries will continue.

Do a bacteria yuk test on the dogs and I bet they’d come out cleaner than most of the children people bring in. Too many bureucrats looking for a purpose at the VI Health Department.

Tigger should be 400 pounds from all the french fries that poor dog gets in an average day! Maybe that sign is the folks at Lowkey way of trying to keep him on a diet?

I doubt that the dogs will be able to read the signs. =) rrrrruff

If they are so worried about cleanliness and all, why don’t they try and focus on making the bathrooms outside the National Park dock where you can use them. I went in there once needing to tinkle after a BVI trip and threw up from the nastiness!!!!!Sometimes you just can’t deny your gag reflex. It was horrible. I’ll NEVER go back in there.

So does that also mean I’ll see no more chickens at Vie’s or Shipwreck. Or how about those goats at Miss Lucy’s???? At least the dogs are cute!
