We debated about spilling the beans on this little known gem, but we thought it would be a disservice to our readers to keep it a secret. So…
Do you want to know where you can get free rum on St. John???
The spot’s called Bones Rum and it’s a favorite watering hole of ours at NOSJ. The way it works is simple: You order a virgin drink and they’ll hand you a bottle of Bones Rum. You can add a splash, a shot or even fill your glass. Bones has eight flavors to choose from – strawberry, banana, mango, passionfruit, Painkiller, mojito, piña colada or NOSJ’s personal favorite – Bushwacker. You can even mix and match flavors … Sounds delicious to us! In theory, you could sit and fill up your glass all day, but we definitely don’t advise that.
Bones Rum is located on the beach next to the passenger ferry. It’s open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
In addition to the Pour Your Own Rum Drinks, Bones Rum also offer free rum samples.They sell a lot of neat merchandise and have fabulous employees like Muris, who is pictured below. Do yourself a favor and stop in the next time you’re in Cruz Bay.
Good information to have with a trip to St. John nearing fast! Just another place to add to the list of stops!!
Always stop there when making the hike to pick up the jeep or after dropping off the jeep before going home.
I had a 9:30 a.m. Bushwacker with major Bones while waiting on the 6/24 Walk of Woe. Normally not up for rum at 9:30 a.m. but it was a sad day after two weeks on island! We also brought two bottles home….it’s smooth rum!
Where is the rum from? (made, bottled, etc).
@ Judita. I would love to know that too. I have heard (and pray it is not true) it is the same rum you get in the “Virgin Islands Rum” bottles. Just in a cooler bottle with a cooler label.
La La La la la (with my fingers in my ears) la blah blah
