Best cocktails on the Island? We’ve got you covered. We’ve compiled a list of the best places to enjoy lush drinks – some of them specialize in flavor, some are super authentic, some are totally wild and some can be enjoyed with the best views on the island. So here it goes:
If you want to stay close to the Mayflower Hotel then these are the best cocktails in your area:
LOA – Nestled in the coastal area near the historic Wignacourt Tower in St. Paul’s Bay, LOA is one of the first modern restaurants to launch within this tourist-favourite destination that is currently experiencing significant renewal. The restaurant’s identity pays homage to two elements found in South American cultures, namely the ancient Río LOA—Chile’s longest river which spans over 440km—and the fascinating LOAs goddesses, each of whom offers protection and counsel in return for ritual service expressed through sacred rhythms, songs, and dance.
