Gustavia's legendary open-air bar and burger garden, opened in 1949 by Marius Stakelborough and tied in island lore to Jimmy Buffett's 'Cheeseburger in Paradise' - the cruiser rendezvous in an otherwise very expensive town.

Practical

OpenStreetMap position, a block back from the harbour's east quay. Order food at the counter (self-service) and drinks from the window in the side of the bar next door. Burgers 'at a fair price' compared with the rest of Gustavia (Blue Water Sailing). Cash and cards; busy at lunch and in the evening during regattas.

Best for

A cheap burger and a cold beer with other sailors
