The joint is always jumping and is imbued with a Junkanoo theme and decorated by wall-size murals. At many bars at this sprawling resort, the bartenders seem to ignore you. Not here. They are a lively bunch, slinging drinks with names like the Fountain of Youth. A specialty is a sour-apple-flavored mixture known as Gussie Mae. The place is especially popular with yachties, who tie up at the nearby marina. A costumed dance troupe performs 4 nights a week (times vary), and live bands pump out island music for most of the night. Even patrons get in on the act with conga lines. The restaurant serves food daily from 11am to 10pm, including conch fritters and cracked lobster tail. Both of this establishment's bars (one on the outdoor terrace, the other indoors) are open 11am to 1:30am daily.
