Barrier Reef Drive, which many locals still refer to as “Front Street” is San Pedro’s showcase of community and commerce. Beginning on the south end with the Public Library, the San Pedro Belize Tourism Board office and the bustling San Pedro Roman Catholic School, and ending with the world renowned Phoenix Resort, what lies between the beginning and the end of this busy artery is a variety of businesses, gift shops, our beach side Central Park and of course restaurants and bars. When choosing a place to dine, or imbibe the day (or night) away, each location along the way offers their own unique personality. Depending on what you are in the mood for, be it beach front dining or bar stool banter, there is something for everyone along this popular street.
If you are in search of a smaller, more intimate bar that has great ambience, food and drinks then Lola’s Pub & Grill, located on the northern end of Barrier Reef Drive is the place to be. Lola’s is the quintessential pub, with soft lighting, warm colours and barstool appeal. With individual tables along a wall-length bench, a few tables on the front sidewalk or just bellied-up to the bar, patrons enjoy a welcoming and comfortable scene. Boasting their status as a “karaoke-free zone”, the evenings at Lola’s are graced with the musical talents of the likes of acoustic guitar and vocalist extraordinaire Gino or the smokin’ guitar jams of Spencer with Zac on percussion.
