Ambiance resumes with "Billz"

Sherine Smith, manager, Ambiance Lounge

The Ambiance Lounge, situated atop the Royal mall at the base of Port Antonio's Titchfield Peninsula, will officially "re-present" itself to the entertainment public this Saturday (March 10) via an event approrpiately billed as "Billz". Cover charge will be $100 dollars (or a "billz" in local parlance), and mixed drink coctails will be offered at the special price of......you guessed it! $100.

Newly installed manager Sherine Smith explained that the popular lounge had been closed for some five weeks or so, during which time a number of improvements had been affected, and it was now time to publicly acknowledge the recreated entity.

The Ambiance will now open daily for lunch, but evening operations will be concentrated Wednesdays through Sundays, with an assortment of themes for each night including Latin (Thurs) Open Mic (Friday) and Karaoke (Sunday).

The club's location affords patrons handy views of the town's western harbour and the adjacent Titchfield Hill. 

Glimmers of A Former - and Future Glory

Gazing out on the azure curve of Port Antonio's East Harbour in the late afternoon has a near hypnotic effect: from the tip of Navy Island, across to the promontory that houses the former Titchfield hotel and the high school of the same name -the harbour wantonly pushes its curvaceous rump into the town proper before curving outward once more towards Folly, where the aspiring but relatively messy urbanization begins to give way to the more traditional rural landscape of lush vegetation, small freeholdings and beachfront villas; the setting sun ripples across the water that laps invitingly just inches from our feet - glimmers of a soon fading glory.
