Coral Bay’s newest watering hole: “St. John Bar and Restaurant”
The former Pickle’s in Coral Bay is back again. After a brief, but apparently unsuccessful run as a retail store, the owners, who also run the Love City Mini Mart have re-opened it as the “St. John Bar and Restaurant.”
As an added bonus, it is being managed by the bush tea man, Victor Hall, of the famous The Kite many years ago on the North Shore.
“We will have open mic, jam sessions and live bands,” Victor tells us. “And there will be happy hour prices every night.”
There’s patio seating out back.
Will it fly like The Kite? Coral Bay loves live music and a 6 dollar cheeseburger is a good start.

Best of luck on this! Anything is better than an empty building and it appears as if a good time is had by all (they just don’t remember it the next day). Cheers!

$6 cheeseburger AND they have fries too. Look out Skinny’s! Just kidding, We will always love Skinny’s
. Where is this place located? I don’t recall seeing it but surely must have passed it before.

If you’re coming into Coral Bay on Centerline Rd towards Skinny’s, you make the right hand turn before the Moravian Church, where the bus stop is across the corner and where all “the signs” used to be (the road towards Calabash Boom). The bar will be almost immediately on your right side about 30 feet from the road, before the right turn to the Love City Market turn on the right and the dumpster on the left. Careful as this area has heavy goat traffic and you don’t want to hurt any of them! Right? Naaaahh!

Congratulation Victor! If it is half as good as the Kite was, you will do well.
