Antigua restaurant tips

Most Antiguan restaurants open for lunch from noon, with dinner served from 6pm. Smaller Antiguan restaurants close early if business is slow. If you want to eat at a popular restaurant in Antigua's busy English Harbour, be sure to book in advance. Expect to tip ten to 15% in restaurants, and don't get upset if service is slow. Remember you're on Antigua's island time.

Antigua bars

Have a pint of beer at old-fashioned bars along the quayside at English Harbour in Antigua. Lively Dickinson Bay has music by steel bands and Antiguan calypso singers every night of the week. Head to the casino in St John's, which is open till the wee hours for late-night drinks and a flutter. And at weekends, young local Antiguans and tourists groove to soca (calypso) rhythms at nightclubs in the Antiguan capital.
