LOBSTER ALIVE
Wesley House, Bay Street Bridgetown, St. Michael Barbados
The restaurant initially began as a wholesale distributor for the island’s hotels and restaurants. A Cooked take-away service was added; along with a friendly free beer while you wait. Shortly after that the health inspector demanded we go the whole way or “wholesale only”. This was around 1998.
So long-time friend, and fellow musician with the local VSOP Jazz band “Stu Jenkins”, became the resident artist (designer) and we named the upcoming restaurant “LOBSTER ALIVE and all that Jazz”.
After feeling our way around, the restaurant soon grew to become a hit with international critics, restaurant guidebooks, and our many repeat customers. Now we seat up to 80 customers, cater to weddings, private parties, boat trips, and have organically grown into one of the best live jazz hubs on the island.
