Hello everyone, and happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great holiday last week! I know I did! I figured it’s been a bit since I posted an island update, so here we go!
Let’s start with St. John restaurant closings. I’ve been getting a lot of emails about this one. The dates are slowly starting to trickle in, but I do not have the full list as of yet. Here are some that I have so far:
- ZoZo’s is closed for the season. They will reopen in December.
- Lovango Resort + Beach Club will close July 20th. They will reopen in December.
- The Terrace is closing for the season on July 25th. Reopening date TBD.
- Lime Inn’s last day will be August 2nd. They will reopen October 14th.
- Johnny Lime’s last day will be August 2nd. They will reopen October 14th.
- Drink is most likely closing on August 8th. They will reopen on Halloween.
- Miss Lucy’s last day will be August 9th. Reopening date TBD.
- Skinny Legs is closing on August 10th. They are reopening on Halloween.
- Rum Hut is tentatively closing on August 10th and tentatively reopening on October 16th.
- Extra Virgin Bistro is closing on August 11. Reopening date TBD.
- Cafe Roma will be closed August 18th through August 31st.
- Lime Out’s last day will be August 23rd. They will reopen October 20th.
- 1864 is closing on August 29th. Reopening date TBD.
- Dave & Jerry’s is closing on August 30th. They are reopening on October 7th.
- The Windmill Bar, The Upstairs, The Beach Bar, The Longboard, Cruz Bay Landing, The Tap Room, and Sharky’s By the Water are a few spots that will remain open during off-season.
That being said, off-season is basically here. The island had a great crowd the past few weeks to celebrate Festival, but now we are expecting it to wind down for the season. It is still a great time to visit for those of you who are looking for a last-minute vacation. Most of the vacation rentals have reduced prices during the summer months, so there are great deals to be had. I know many of you are concerned about possible tropical weather, so I do suggest getting travel insurance for summer trips.
Speaking of weather, Hurricane Beryl did not affect the island last week. The system passed well to our south, thankfully.
Not on island, but want to see what’s currently happening? You can check out our webcams at www.explorestj.com/webcams.
I am hoping to have the full list of closings by the end of the week. I will post them at www.explorestj.com/closings. I will also upload a printable list when it’s complete.
That’s it for today, folks! New restaurant news coming later this week – stay tuned! Have a great one!
