The Zanzibar — Restaurant in Antigua

A Hidden Gem. Loved It! I absolutely loved this place from the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was calm, spacious, and had such a lovely zen vibe. The decor is super cool, and the big surprise that made my eyes light up was the bookshelf! 📚 What a thoughtful touch. I’d been getting that dreaded “book fear” at my resort, the worry of running out of good reads, so discovering they offer English speaking books for swap or takeaway was such a kind and unexpected bonus.

The cocktails here were genuinely some of the best we had during our trip. They were clearly made with care, beautifully presented and priced very reasonably compared to other places nearby. You could tell they were crafted with love. 🍹 We came for karaoke one evening and ended up staying longer than we planned — the vibe was just so welcoming and fun! 🎤 The crowd leaned a little older, which we actually really appreciated as two young women looking for a safe, relaxed night out. It felt good to be somewhere where we could enjoy ourselves and feel completely at ease. It was also refreshing to see a woman working behind the bar — a nice balance. The staff were extremely friendly and hardworking. They even brought drinks to the table, which was such a nice touch. We ended up coming back multiple times during our stay, and honestly, my only regret is not finding this place sooner…. though maybe that’s a blessing in disguise because I probably would’ve been there every night! 😄 Highly recommend visiting. Just note: they don’t serve food, but there are plenty of places...

Love the manager And sue bar staff lovely customer service .. love this bar been for years .. but getting treated like a dog last night by a young lad called Red one .. wasn’t the best .. it’s sad me my family friends will not be returning while red one .. red flag in my mind .. works at the bar .. I come on holiday to get away from the drama not to be pointed the finger at .. he made me feel so so small and laughed in my face!! Like I said this bar is amazing lovely drinks staff well worth the money the view is amazing .. it would have been a five from me if it wasn’t for last night .....

Would avoid this place like the plague if a non smoker .dont get me wrong dont mind smoking but we spent all night here drinking and watching the boxing we then ordered food and they then aloud three people at our table to light up and blowing smoke all over our food,when we complained we was offered a free drink as the bar staff who where very nice said that the owner said they are allowed to smoke at the tables.but not for us smoked blowed all over our food.all i can say is we was here for 2weeks and had 12 friends and family coming out tomorrow...
