Our Review

First impression?
Saint Voodoo's brings a touch of New Orleans funk to the tiny island of Vieques with its colorful, tiki-inspired vibes. The ownership's changed since the hurricane (it was formerly the beloved Al's Mar Azul) but it still has the same relaxed, dive-bar feel and reliably epic sunset views from the upstairs deck.

So who’s there?
Locals, day-trippers (the bar's just across from the ferry terminal), and tanned Americans playing darts and swigging Medallas from plastic cups.

How are the drinks?
Leathery older regulars will tell you that these guys do the best Painkiller on the island, and they're not wrong; the simple tiki cocktail, a blend of rum, coconut cream, and orange juice, is exactly what you want to drink as you watch the sun sink over the ocean. The piña coladas are great, too.

What do they have for food?
Standard bar fare like buffalo wings and burgers, plus NOLA-inspired bites like shrimp po'boys and blackened catfish. The conch fritters are quite delicious—and they're particularly good with a $2 Medalla.

How did you find the staff?

What's the bottom line?
This isn't a hip, sceney cocktail bar, and that's precisely why we like it. You get good cheap drinks, fried food, divey vibes, and a sunset that makes you forget whatever might have been concerning you. Some days, that's all you need.
