If
you want to do as the locals do, you'll make time to go to Duffy's Love
Shack. Slap bang in the middle of a parking lot, Duffy's is not the place
to come for a romantic interlude. Discard your inhibitions and choose
from a list of powerful brews served in anything from tiki gods to space
ships!

In
the middle of a parking lot is Duffy's Love Shack, a casual bar/restaurant
that's on almost every islanders list of truly quintessential St. Thomas
experiences.

This
is a fun and happening place where you can mingle with locals. As the
evening wears on, the customers become the entertainment, often dancing
on tables or forming conga lines.

Boogie
nights... gotta' keep on dancing! Whether you are in St. John or St. Thomas,
stop off in Duffy's Love Shack and shake your groove thing to tunes
of the 70s and 80s. Sip on toy filled drinks with names such as "The Volcano"
and "Painkiller." The gyrating bodies and island charm of Duffy's is definitely
infectious. Don't even think of an early a.m. appointment other than sleeping
on the beach.

Smoke
begins to fill the room, a strobe light flashes, red lights come on and
the theme from "2001: A Space Odyssey" starts. Regulars at Duffy's
Love Shack know someone has ordered a Love Shack Volcano and the party
atmosphere steps up another notch. Newcomers watch wide-eyed as
servers parade a flaming 64 ounce drink with 18 inch straws out to a customers
as Jimmy Buffet's "Volcano" begins to play.

Few
bars in St. Thomas serve drinks with toy sharks in them. Fewer still serve
drinks with toy skeletons stuffed in the toy sharks. Duffy's Love Shack
lives by such quirky comical touches. The already unusual bar throws plastic
curiosities at its customers, adorning their necks with fake leis, their
shot glasses with tiny monkeys and their drinks with clip-on moustaches.
-Daily News
Readers
nominated Duffy's Love Shack as their favorite watering hole in the Caribbean
. Based on the reports of our readers, the Love Shack seems to have a
combination of Halloween and Mardi Gras almost every night. An Israeli
dentist wrote that he was "dancing on top of a tank" . Another reader
. . . "dressed up like pirates and drank from coconuts for days."

From
the bamboo-handled menus to the theme parties (Nerd Night is our favorite),
Duffy's is F-U-N from the get-go. Don't miss trying one of the huge tropical
concoctions like "Revenge of Godzilla", a 32oz monster of vodka and fruit
juices that may just have you believing you're in Tokyo by the end of
the night.
