Trappas in season is one of the best restaurants to visit if you happen to be in Falmouth or English Harbour area. Outside and inside seating available. International and local cuisine.

Probably the best sports bar in Antigua - maybe the only one really. Certainly the go to bar in the Jolly Harbour area. Rumour has it they are opening up in the mornings to show english premier league football. The food is very good too. You will get to mix with locals and expats alike. Marc the manager certainly knows how to run a good bar with his experience of managing bars all over the world. It's almost a theme for the bar as well with flags adorning the walls and ceiling.

You can visit any other time during normal hours apart from monday after sundown. In fact if you want the best photos come during the day. But try to make it on the sunday for the steel pan band and more contemporary Antiguan artists take to the stage. You get to dance on a decent cobblestone courtyard - take sensible flat shoes. There are some great alternative views to be had if you find the lower reaches of the garden and keep going a bit.
