Food & Drink: an extensive menu with fresh seafood (conch, lobster, & local fish - don’t miss the ‘Catch of the Day’ done 5 ways & some of the island’s best fish & lobster tacos!), island inspired mains, burgers / wraps, salads, and plenty of beach bites to tide you over during happy hour (try their huge homemade mozzarella sticks!) (menu)

Happy Hour: every day (3 to 6pm) for 1/3 off their already low prices on cocktails and liquors, $8 and $10 happy hour wines, and $5 local beers PLUS $30 buckets of beers (local & imported) everyday, all day long

Insider Tip #1: looking for conch, check out their extensive conch menu! they serve some of the freshest conch on the island - it is freshly harvested daily from the ocean (most places cannot say this!)

Insider Tip #2: not only is this the live music hub in Grace Bay, it is also a great place to hang out and play lawn games - from corn hole, to ring & hook toss, to giant Connect 4 and more, there are plenty of games to keep the kids & adult children entertained

Insider Tip #3: if you are looking for late night food in Grace Bay, in high season their roadside bar serves late night food (burgers, conch fritters, mozz stick, etc) and drinks until 2am on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday

Leading the charge on the live music scene on the island, Castaways has musicians playing every night of the week. Throw in a truly tropical vibe, a daily happy hour, some yummy food, no need for reservations, and the most central location in Grace Bay, and you see why this place might quickly become your home over your holiday week. Grab a drink from the boat bar (yes it is an actual boat) or sit down for a lovely meal, you’ll find people laughing and dancing here every night of the week. Walking distance from Grace Bay hotels.

“Don't Miss This One! This. Place. Is. A. VIBE! My husband and I (first time TCI visitors on our honeymoon) were walking around in the area just to pass the time before our first fish fry. We got caught in the rain and ended up chatting with the owner, who invited us to relax and take shelter at one of the tables (they are covered by large umbrellas) for a bit while waiting out the rain. Well, we ended up staying long after the rain stopped! Caribbean and afrobeats music, cool ambiance, well-covered outdoor seating, terrific service, and delicious food!! We weren't planning to eat because we wanted to save our appetites for fish fry...but one look around and we couldn't resist. We were told by our AirBnB owner that this spot serves the best conch fritters on the island. Guys. He wasn't kidding! Honestly we didn't even mind being late to fish fry because this place was that good. Do yourself a favor and make sure you stop here during your trip.”

“Perfect Date Night. Great location! Chill vibes! Good music! Amazing service! This place is the real deal 10/10. Came here after a long day in the sun and Bae & I enjoyed every minute of it. Our waiter was attentive but also gave us our space to enjoy our cocktails & conversation. After our meal we didn’t feel rushed to leave, we were able to sit & enjoy the music.”

“Great meal at Castaway Conch Bar! We enjoyed all of our dishes - we had the conch chowder and grilled snapper and jerk chicken entrees. All tasty. They have a nice cocktail and wine selection including 1/2 price wine bottle closeout deals - great values! It’s a nice outdoor setting among palm trees (and next to a real boat that serves as a bar!). Our server Kenroi was very friendly and helpful with our meal choices. The live music was entertaining. Would definitely go back next trip.”
