Where two or three locals used to sit and watch TV outside what was Oscar’s Convenience store, a martini lounge has opened. Ruth of St. John Spice published pictures of the spot, Infusions, which says it offers "Not your average martini." (Happy Fish at the Marketplace also touts its ‘tinis.) A calendar of events shows the owners are emphasizing Monday Night Football, entertainment by Marty Beech and the Paradise People, and Ladies Nights on Sunday to draw customers.
During the first three weeks of October, Infusions will be closed Saturday nights. (What’s up with that? Closed Saturday?) Its located across from the Lime Inn and is open, when it’s open, 6pm to midnight. Info at 340-776-9770.
One taxpayer said he thinks Infusions will do well, "Because it’s air conditioned."
Infusions was great. My family was in St. John last week – we go twice a year. We loved the atmosphere, decor and especially the jazz band – name of the band escapes me at the moment – but Slim is in the band. We had a great time at Infusions and will go back in January.
