Anita is one of the best masseuses I have ever received a deep tissue massage from. She found my problematic areas without being told and I felt incredible after each session. Highly recommend this place!

Antigua's first and only Micro brewery. We have beer on taps as well as bottles. Only bar on the island with draft beer. Check out our Facebook page for our seasonal beer. All ales are made in house.

Thank God for 2SIX8!!! Antigua was in desperate need of good beer and 2Six8 has saved them from a fate of suffering from inferior beer syndrome (IBS). IBS (in this case) is where you’re stuck on an island and there is nothing but small, plain lager beers to drink. Thank you 2Six8 for saving us all! Great beer and wonderful staff. Nikki was kind and entertaining, and Hops the dog was adorable and fun loving. Our favorites were the Goat Farm pale ale and Frig It amber. When we arrived they had just run out of canned beer since they had sponsored a large event the previous day, so what did they do to rectify this? They canned more beer for us and we picked it up the next day. Fantastic!

Multimedia exhibitions on the island's history, from the American Indian inhabitants to British colonialism to today.

I was sceptical as I walked in here, tourist attractions not being my thing. However I was completely won over. There was a 15min video presentation about the islands history which was part dated and part informative. Then one of the staff, Kevin, took us on a brief tour of the site and the view below of Nelson’s Dockyard, English harbour and neighbouring islands. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and we both really liked him. Well worth visiting as you go up to Shirley heights
