Rum Runners Bar and Grille

This beachfront bar and restaurant is part of the Sirata Beach Resort property where we stayed for two nights. The restaurant and bar are open to anyone.

The atmosphere is super casual. Some tables are in the sand and swimsuits and bare feet are acceptable. Seats under the pavilion will give guests a break from the sun.   A couple of cozy lounge areas with comfy couches and chairs are nice for evening drinks while listening to local musicians playing on the small stage. There is also a fireplace area for chilly nights right next to the stage.

Our first trip here we had a couple of rum runners (seemed appropriate). They were very strong and tasty. We had some chicken wings in a jerk sauce. There was nothing about the sauce that was authentic Caribbean, but it was tasty. We also had a turkey club sandwich and chips and the coconut shrimp. The sandwich was tasty and large with a middle layer of bread. The coconut shrimp were on the small side, but crispy and flavorful.

For lunch the next day we both had burgers and fries. Both burgers were very good, cooked to order, and served on an onion roll for extra flavor. Sweet potato steak fries were crispy on the outside and hot on the inside. Everything was excellent.

Service at both meals was prompt and casual. The bartenders and waitstaff kept us in drinks one night while watching a local band and were always friendly and helpful. And smiling.

We will definitely come back if we're back in the area.
