Well folks, we definitely didn’t see this coming – The Beach Bar has sold. And from what we hear, the ink has barely dried.
The new owners names are Reed and Sherry Compton. They’re from Alabama where they own a few Firehouse Subs franchises. We’re not exactly sure when they will officially take over, but no need to worry – Nikki and her fantastic staff aren’t going anywhere. And we’re pretty certain that the Bushwackers will remain just as delicious as ever!
The Bowery was also sold as part of the deal. We’ll keep you posted as we learn more…
How many times has the Beach Bar sold in the past 5 years? 3 or 4 times?
Nope. This is only the second time the bar has been sold since it served its first painkiller 17 years ago.
Best of luck to Reed and Sherry! Have fun!
Not true—the current owners have only been there 3 or 4 years
We have been coming to St John for 8 years now and our favorite bar is The Beach Bar. We sure hope that you continue the live bands. Also, please add Chardonnay to your wine selection. Most of our group prefers it and they are there for seven weeks. See you in January! Can’t wait.
Best of luck on your new adventure!
So much for that ‘island paradise dream’. Try running a business there!
So HAPPY,for you!!!
Living the dream…I know ya’ll will do fantastic!! Good luck and CONGRATULATIONS !! ⛵
Hope the new owners don’t change much. We have been loyal Beach Bar patrons for 25 years and it is our favorite place for happy hour, bar food and beautiful sunsets. Good luck to the new owners
WHAT?! Didn’t know it was for sale?! Must have made them an offer they couldn’t refuse. Good for them! I thought I was going to be the next owner! HA! Wishing Nikki & crew the best!
Good luck to the new owners!! Reed and Sherry will do great, can’t wait to visit!! Living the dream!!
Looking forward to meeting the new owners if they happen to be on island during my next visit and BTW… ROLL TIDE ROLL!
