Walking through the main square of Port Antonio can be a mixed bag of sights, experiences and interactions.
One of the more pleasant of these involves what can only be described a "three-sided box" (the "fourth" side is of course open to the public) that sits at the base of an ungainly three-storey
building - overlooking the Square (the original courthouse, now an NCB branch, sits proudly opposite) close to the Parish Library and the mini-Park.
Iturja (pictured above - that's our take on his given name) is part of a multi-member family outfit that has run the little bar for some time.
The unique feature of this place apart from its location, is that it maintains a welcoming yet engaging vibe that's not lost on visitors and locals alike, what with the market beckoning only a few yards to the rear, and all manner of hustle and bustle taking place directly in front - not to mention many heated discussions and debates on a variety of topical issues (Real Madrd vs Barcelona, for instance).
if your business or leisure finds you in the heart of town, stop by for a refresher, and a quick chat. But bring your knowledge A-game.
